The law creating the office fo
Commissioner of Labor makes it tbe
duty of that official to enforce all
laws relating to the employment of
miuors and women, all laws enact-
ed for the protection of tbe lives,
limbs and health of operatives In
workshops and factories, and other
laws relating to labor. Biennial re­
ports must be made showing the
labor statistica of the stato and con­
taining information regarding cor­
porations, strikes and other labor
difficulties, trades unious and their
effect upon labor and capital, the
employment of Chinese and Japan­
ese and their wages and cost of liv­
ing, etc. Tbe report must also con­
tain a statement of such other mat­
ter relating to tbe commercial, in-
dustral, social, educational, moral
and sanitary conditions of thb labor­
ing classes and the permanent pros­
perity of tho respective industries
of the state as the bureau may be
nble to gather.
In giving an ac­
count of his proceedings for the en­
forcement of tbe law, the Commis­
sioner must make such suggestions
and recommendations its he may
deem necessary. He is empowered
to require owners of factories to
make such report« to him as may
be necessary for the compilation of
tbe information specified, and is
given authority to enter shops and
factories at all reasonable times to
make investigations, and may bu 1>-
pir.na and examine witnesses under
oath whenever he may desire.
Some o f these duties are such as
could be performed by any person
of good clerical ability. Others are
far from being clerical, aub will re­
quire tbe attention of a man of
sound and discerning judgment aud
unprejudiced mind. Tbe Oregon
laws regulatiog the employment of
women and children were not passed
for tbe purpose of correcting pres­
ent abuses so much as with a view
to preventing the growth of such
evils. None of the laws are applica­
ble to conditions which require vig­
orous prosecutions in their inforce-
ment. What is desired is a man
whose character and ability will
command respect for his investiga­
tions and opinions,
so that the
welfare of labor may be guarded
without a resort to process of law,
An officer who is charged with the
duty of studying laber problems,
who is authorized to enter the prem­
ises of auother and to demaud
information regarding certain fea­
tures of that person’s business,
who is vested with power to take
testimony in labor troubles nnd to
make reports thereou, should be a
man wbo has a wide range of infor­
mation, who is too broad in his
habits of thought to take a narrow
and partial view of an important
question, and, above all, wbo can be
influenced by neither the fenr of
political punishment nor the hope
of political reward. Tbe Labor Com­
missioner should be a man who will
not feel himself above the wage
earner, and need not feel below the
average employer.
will be satisactory to all, but for the
selection of one whose admiuiatra
tion of the office will be above rea­
sonable criticism. The salary is
sufficient to command the services
of a man who haH the requisites a-
bility and business and sooinl stand­
ing.— Oregonian.
Contracts lor Urtding Oregon Pacific-
The following is an excerpt from
a telegram from Grants Pass to the
Portland Evening Telegram of the
17tli in?t:
“Contracts for the grading of the
Oregon A Pacific Bail road between
Grant's Pass and Crescent City have
been let. The contracts have been
awarded San Francisco parties, and
they will arrive here and begin work
as soon as arrangements have beeu
made for securing of right of way.
Terminals and yards have already
been arranged for at each end of
the line, and are ready to turn over
to the company ns soon as it is ready
for them.
Mr. Wood, manager of"*the right
ot way, is here and is at work con­
ferring with ranebmon and farmers
across whose properties the line
will pass, and securiug right of way
for the road. The company is ask­
ing for a 100.foot right of way, as
anything of less width would be to
narrow for tbe making of cuts, build­
ing up of grades, laying siding, etc.
Two surveying crews are on the
line making or completing final
surveys, and two more will be put
on at an early date making tbe pur­
veys of the route along the coast
north and south from Cresent City.
All of the things would indicate
positively that the Oregon <fc Pacific
is an assured fact and that its ulti­
mate completion is but a matter of
time.”
Cowboy Breakfast lor President-
President Boosevelt will be giv­
en a genuine cowboy breakfast at
Butte. Montana, on May 4th. which,
according to a dispatch, will be
spread in true cowboy fashion, with
the chuck wagon and all the rest of
the paraphernalia common to such
a feast. We have no doubt he will
enjoyed it more than the banquets
nt whitch he is compelled to listen
to long nud dreary speeches, gener­
ally by flunkies who want prom­
inence or patronage. The Presi­
dent’s strenuosity will make him ap­
preciate the impetuosity of Mr. Cow­
boy as the latter grasps his baud,
after spitting on his own hand, and
exclaims with hearty good will:
’’Put it there, pard; we’re mighty
pleased to see you. Come again
whenever you want to. W e’ll al­
ways troat you white.”— Ex.
