T he special province of th e Indiana
d epartm ent of factory inspection is to
see that m anufacturing concerns com
ply with th e factory law s th a t are
designed to p rotect em ployes. T he
average m an and probably few of the
legislato rs who assist in m aking the
factory laws know th a t one of the |
chief difficulties tNat confronts the j
departm en t is to persuade em ployes
offering, and the children of later
days have considered it a com m ission
for b ringing th eir trade. It had d e
veloped in to a g reat nuisance, and
dealers had to keep try in g to make
th eir lagniappe m ore and m ore a t
tractive, so as to outbid th e ir rivals.
T h e children becam e very crafty in
g ettin g lagniappe. If a sm all sh o p
per had a num ber of purchases to
m ake he w ould go to one sto re for his
sugar, and take the cu sto m ary lag
niappe; to an o th er for the salt, again
tak in g toll, and so on until he had
m ade a goodly collection of edibles.
T h e L ab o r Council decided th a t those
who gave o r could afford to give the
best lagniappe w ere those w ho dealt
in prison-m ade goods or in articles
m ade by child labor. T h ey declared
ag ain st th e ancient in stitution, and
the shopkeepers, .only too glad of
the chance to relieve them selves of
the burden, have obeyed w ith alac
rity. T h ere is one th in g to be said
for lagniappe: D uring its sw ay there
was no difficulty in g ettin g th e e r
rands to th e sto re done.— P h ilad el

The Labor Situation in Spokane.
T h e condition of organizel labor in
Spokane was never better. F o r th is
season of the year p robably a larg er
per cent of the m em bership o f the
unions are em ployed th an ever be
fore. It is true th a t th e m achinists
are having a little tro u b le w ith the
Spokane M achinery & Supply Co., and
the plum bers are o ut on strike, but
the num ber of m en o ut of w ork on
account of th e tw o strikes am ounts to
p ractically nothing. But six m en are
involved in the m achinists' strike, and
a g reat m any of th e plum bers are at
w ork. Since th e strike fo u r of the
union plum bers have sta rted shops of
th eir own, and all are d o in g a good
business. H o llin g b erry & M axwell
are em ploying about 15 men, and the
plum bers have practically won out.
No tro u b le is being experienced in
g ettin g all th e supplies needed, d e
spite th e fact th a t the local supply
houses refuse to sell to the independ
ent co n tracto rs. Som e of the supplies
are bought in Seattle and P o rtlan d ,
and th e C rane Com pany, of Chicago,
is supplying a num ber o f shops.
All of th e building trad es are look
ing forw ard to a busy year, at their
old scales, and no tro u b le will be ex
perienced unless the co n tra cto rs p ro
voke it.—S pokane Record.
