STATISTICS OF CITIES.
By an act o f Congress, which was approved and became law July 1,
1898, the Commissioner o f Labor was called upon to make an investi­
gation annually into the statistics o f the cities of the United States
having over 30,000 population. The paragraph of the act referred to
is as follows:
The Commissioner o f Labor is authorized to compile and publish
annually, as a part o f the Bulletin o f the Department o f Labor, an
abstract o f the main features o f the official statistics o f the cities o f
the United States having over 30,000 population.
In accordance with this act a compilation was attempted from the
printed reports o f various cities, but owing to lack o f uniformity in
these reports, and in many cases to the lack o f reports themselves, it
was found impossible to make such a classification o f the various items
relating to the governmental, financial, and other conditions o f these
cities as seemed necessary fo r a satisfactory comparison. A schedule
o f inquiries was therefore prepared and the work taken up by the
special agents o f the Department. This required personal visits to
the various officials o f the cities coming within the scope o f the investi­
gation. These officials in many ways manifested the utmost interest
in the investigation, and contributed freely o f their time and labor in
compiling the data desired and in making the report a success. The
results were printed in the Bulletin o f the Department o f Labor fo r
September, 1899.
A s will be seen by reference to the language o f the law'which has
been quoted, provision is made fo r a similar inquiry each year. In
the second report, which appeared in the Bulletin o f the Department
o f Labor fo r September, 1900, an effort was made to enlarge somewhat
upon the first, and to change slightly some o f the inquiries in order to
881

secure fuller information on the subjects covered. The third report
o f the series was published in September, 1901, and while it was not
thought necessary to repeat the investigation o f the preceding year
relative to the nonmunicipal libraries, charities, etc., it was deemed
desirable to increase somewhat the scope o f some o f the inquiries and
m odify certain classifications in the interest o f a more ready compar­
ison from year to year o f the cities included in the report. The
report for the present year has also been expanded to some extent by
the inclusion o f additional data. In other respects, however, it is
similar to the reports fo r previous years, and no difficulty will be
found in making comparisons in regard to the subjects covered. The
thanks o f the Department are due to the officials o f the various cities
which were visited fo r their cordial cooperation in the effort to reduce
the official records to such form as seemed necessary for satisfactory
comparison. It is hoped that experience will render this task easier
each year.
The first report, contained in the Bulletin for September, 1899,
included 140 cities, this being the number in the United States which
were at that time believed to have a population o f 80,000 or over.
The results o f the Twelfth Census regarding the population o f cities
were not available when the data were collected for the second report,
which appeared in the Bulletin fo r September, 1900, but according to
the best estimates that could be secured the Department considered
itself justified in including but 129 cities. Joliet, 111., however, was
w rongly included, it being shown by the corrected census returns to
have less than 80,000 population; while several cities, which were
supposed, when the data for that report were collected, to have less
than 80,000 population, were shown to have more than that number.
This information, however, came too late to permit their inclusion in
the report. The follow ing cities were thus omitted: Montgomery,
A la .; Fitchburg and Newton, M ass.; Bayonne, N. J . ; Schenectady,
N. Y ., and Chester and Y ork, Pa. The third report included 135
cities—all o f the cities shown by the results o f the Twelfth Census to
have had a population o f over 30,000. In the report for the present
year two cities have been added— East St. Louis and Joliet, 111.—as it
is believed that their population now exceeds 30,000. These additions
bring the number o f cities included in the present report up to 137.
The titles o f the twenty-five tables embraced in the present report
are as follows:
T able I.— Incorporation, population, and area.
T able II.— Dates of ending of years covered b y the investigation.
T able I II.—Police, retail liquor saloons, and arrests, by causes.
T able IV .— Firemen, fire equipment, and property loss from fires.
T able V .—Marriages, divorces, and births.
T able V I.—Deaths, by causes.
T able V II.—Percentage of deaths from each specified cause.

These tables, which immediately follow the discussion o f the same,
will be taken up in order and a short analysis and explanation o f each
will be presented. A t the same time there will be given information
as to the changes from last year which have been adopted in the
preparation o f this year’s report.
Table I — Incorporation, population, and area.— In this table, as in
the remaining twenty-four tables, the 137 cities in the United States
having a population o f 30,000 or over are presented in the order o f
their population at the Twelfth Census, the largest being placed first.
The latest date o f incorporation o f each o f the cities under the present
limits o f territory is first given, followed by the population at the
Twelfth United States Census, June 1, 1900. This census popula­
tion is used only as the basis fo r arrangement and is followed by
the estimated population January 1, 1902.
This estimate, which
must be accepted as such, represents the closest approximation to the
actual population that could be secured after consultation with city
officers and investigation o f all available data. This table also pre­
sents information as to the area in acres o f each o f the cities, sub­
divided as to land and water wherever possible. Lack o f official
records as to area rendered anything but an estimate impossible in
some cities, but the greatest care has been exercised in such cases to
have these estimates approximate accuracy as closely as possible. No
subdivision o f the area o f cities into land and water was made in the
first two annual reports on this subject.
Table I I — Dates o f ending o f years covered by the investigation.— As
regards the dates o f ending o f the years covered by the investigation,
it is necessary to say that in most o f the cities investigated the various



884

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

departments o f the city government, such as fire, police, street, etc.,
made their reports for a different year, one department having Decem­
ber 31 as the end o f its statistical year, while the others had their
years end on other dates. It was thought important, in connection
with the study o f the data included in the various tables, to furnish a
statement as to the dates o f ending o f the years for which the informa­
tion is given. W here but a single date is given under this heading all
the various city departments close their year on the same day. Where
the year o f the various departments ended on different dates all the
necessary information as to the ending o f the same is furnished in this
column. A ll data in the tables (with the exception of those which are
noted) cover one year’s transactions, and that the last year for which
the facts were obtainable. It is interesting to note in this connection
that in but 11 o f the 137 cities included in this report have all o f the
various departments o f city activity had their business year end on the
same day. In all o f the other cities business years ending on two or
more different dates have been used. Not only would the labor of
collecting and com piling the data necessary to these reports be greatly
lessened in each city by the adoption o f a uniform business year by all
o f its departments, but it is believed that the accounts and transactions
o f the city itself would be much simplified thereby.
Table I I I — P olice, retail liquor saloons, and arrests, by causes.— This
table shows the number o f policemen in each o f the cities, the number
including not only patrolmen, but officers, such as sergeants, lieuten­
ants, etc. Persons employed as messengers, matrons, janitors, drivers,
etc.., are not included. In this table is shown also the number o f
licensed retail liquor saloons, together with the amount o f the license
fee, and, immediately follow ing, the number o f arrests. The licensed
retail liquor saloons reported do not include clubs, drug stores, etc.
The arrests are classified according to the causes for which persons
were arrested, as drunkenness, disturbing the peace, assault and bat­
tery, homicide, vagrancy, housebreaking, and larceny. The arrests fo r
other causes are given under 66A ll other offenses,” which is followed by
a column showing the total arrests for all offenses. It was found that
there was no uniform classification o f offenses causing arrest in the
various cities, different cities entering a different charge for a similar
offense. Hence the follow ing statement is given to show what offenses
were combined in each item o f the classification in the table: Drunk­
enness includes “ common drunk,” “ drunk and disorderly,” and all
cases where drunkenness in any form was the primary cause o f arrest;
disturbing the peace includes all cases o f disorderly conduct not attrib­
utable to drunkenness; assault and battery includes all cases o f assault;
vagrancy includes arrest o f beggars, tramps, loafers, loiterers, and all
persons without apparent means o f support; housebreaking includes
burglary and all cases o f breaking and entering, and larceny includes
pocket picking, robbery, and all cases o f theft.

Table I V .— Firem en, fir e equipment, and property loss fro m fires. —
The number o f firemen in each o f the cities is given in this table,
classified as to whether they are regulars, call men, or volunteers.
These numbers include the officers o f the fire department in the differ­
ent grades, as well as the actual firemen, but do not include messen­
gers, janitors, etc. This table also goes quite fully into the equipment
o f the fire departments in the various cities, showing the number o f
steam, hand, and chemical engines, and o f combination chemical en­
gines and hose wagons, and the number o f hand fire extinguishers, fire
boats, hook and ladder trucks, hose reels and hose wagons, fire hydrants,
water towers, horses, and fire-alarm boxes. In addition to this infor­
mation, data are also given as to the total length o f ladders and hose
belonging to the various fire departments o f the cities investigated.
The table closes with statements showing the number o f fire alarms,
the number o f fires, and the total property loss from the same. The
number o f fire alarms does not include duplicate alarms sent in from
different points, and a first and second alarm fo r a single fire have
been considered one alarm. It should also be stated that two or more
buildings burned as a result o f one fire have been considered one fire.
Table V.— M arriages, divorces, and births.— This table is similar to
that used in the report fo r last year, with the addition o f a column
showing the number o f divorces granted. The table shows the total
number o f marriage licenses issued, number o f marriages, number o f
divorces granted, number o f male and female births, the total births
and birth rate per 1,000 population, and the number o f stillbirths.
The figures showing the birth, rate per 1,000 population are based on
the estimated population January 1, 1902, as shown in Table I. In
bringing the figures for the various cities into comparison it will be
noted that in some cities the number o f marriages is largely in excess
o f what might naturally be expected. This in some cases is accounted
for by the fact that the city is located near the border o f another
State in which the marriage-license laws are more exacting, and that
many persons consequently repair to the city for the purpose o f being
married in order to secure the benefit o f the more liberal conditions
offered there. The reverse o f these conditions accounts in some cases
fo r the small number o f marriages in other cities.
Table V I.— Deaths, by causes.— It was found during this investiga­
tion, by an examination o f the various city reports, that in almost
every city a different classification o f the causes o f death was used in
making the official statement o f deaths. It was apparent that these
classifications, differing so widely, could not be used, inasmuch as the
value o f the data concerning this feature o f city supervision consists
mainly in the comparison afforded as to the number o f deaths from the
same cause in each o f the cities investigated. In the first two reports
on statistics o f cities a uniform classification was o f course adopted,



886

BULLETIN OP THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

but as this was not entirely satisfactory for the purpose o f comparison
with other collections o f statistics o f mortality, the Department last
year adopted a modified form o f the Bertillon classification, which has
been adhered to in the present report. This classification was officially
approved and adopted b y the International Congress o f Hygiene and
Demography in August, 1900, and is now being used by a number o f
cities in this country and b y some States in the classification o f their
mortality statistics. A s its more general adoption is probable, not
only in this country, but abroad, it has been deemed wise to adopt this
classification here. The full official nomenclature upon which the
modified form is based has been published as a supplement to the Pub­
lic Health Reports (Vol. X V , No. 49, December 7, 1900) by the United
States Marine-Hospital Service o f the Treasury Department.
The proportionately large number o f deaths in some o f the Southern
cities is undoubtedly accounted fo r by the fact that the population is
largely made up o f colored people, among whom the death rate is much
higher than among the white population. W hile no classification o f
deaths has been made as between white and colored in Table V I, it has
been found possible to do so in the follow ing series o f short tables
covering a number o f cities having a large colored population. In
these tables the figures fo r white and colored population upon which
the results are based are computed on the basis o f the proportion of
each shown at the date o f the Twelfth Census.

Table V II.— Percentage o f deaths fro m each specified cause.— This
table is based on Table V I, and shows for each city what percentage
o f the total deaths during the year was caused by typhoid fever, what
by malaria, what by smallpox, and what by each o f the remaining
causes enumerated in Table V I.
Table V III.— D eath rate p er 1,000population, by com es.— This table
is also based on Table V I, and shows fo r each city the number o f
deaths per 1,000 population from each specified cause.
Table I X .— D eath rate per 1,000 population.— This table is based
partly on Table V I. The population o f each city as estimated by the
health department, which furnishes the basis o f the calculation as to
the official death rate, is given in the first column o f the table. This
is followed b y a column showing the official death rate o f each city as
calculated by the health officers o f the same. The estimated popula­

tion January 1, 1902, is next brought forward from Table I, and
immediately following this is given the death rate calculated on the
basis o f these figures. In most cases these do not differ greatly from
the figures used by the health officers themselves. Stillbirths are not
included in the calculations o f death rates. A s stated in connection
with Table Y I, the high death rate o f some Southern cities is explained
by the fact that their population consists largely o f colored people,
among whom the death rate is much higher than among whites, as
shown b y the series o f short tables given there.
Table X .— A rea o f pu blic panics and miles o f streets, sewers, and street
railways.—In this table is shown the area o f all parks and gardens
open fo r the free use o f the public, whether owned by the munici­
pality or by a private individual or corporation, and also the number
of miles o f streets in each o f the cities paved with cobblestones, granite
and belgian blocks, bricks, wooden blocks, asphalt and asphalt blocks,
macadam, and gravel. The number o f miles o f all other kinds o f
pavement is aggregated in a single column, and this is followed by the
total miles o f streets paved in each city and the miles o f streets
unpaved. There are also shown data relative to the number o f miles
o f sewers in each city, classified as to whether constructed o f brick,
tile, or other material, and the miles o f single track o f street railways,
together with the number o f persons employed by the companies oper­
ating the same.
Table X I — Care o f streets, fo o d <md sanitary inspection, and dis­
posal o f garbage and other refuse.— This table deals with the provision
made by each city fo r the care o f its streets and the disposal o f its
garbage. The table shows whether the streets are swept by hand, by
machine, or by both hand and machine, and the number o f square
yards o f streets swept per week. The figures given show the total
amount o f sweeping done per week measured in square yards, and
do not indicate, therefore, the total area swept, which would in most
cases be considerably less, inasmuch as many o f the streets are swept
more than once a week. Next follow columns showing the average
number o f persons employed in sweeping and sprinkling the streets
by the cities themselves and by contractors. The next two columns
show the number o f food and sanitary inspectors employed by each
city, while the two immediately follow ing show the tons o f ashes dis­
posed o f by the cities and by contractors. The table further shows
the tons o f garbage, dead animals, and other refuse sold, burned, or
otherwise disposed o f in these cities, the quantities disposed o f by the
cities themselves and by contractors being given separately. These
columns are followed by those in which are given the average number
o f persons employed in the removal o f ashes, garbage, and other
refuse.




STATISTICS OF CITIES.

901

Table X I I —Number and kind o f street lights.—This table shows
the number o f arc and incandescent electric lights, the number of
Welsbach and other gas lights, and the number o f vapor lamps and oil
lamps which are in use in the streets, alleys, and public parks o f the
various cities. Lights inside public buildings are not included.
Table X I I I — Public schools.—This table shows, first, the number
o f buildings in each city in which public schools are conducted, classi­
fied as to whether owned or rented by the city. Next is shown the
number o f schoolrooms—that is, the number o f rooms used for seat­
ing or recitation purposes— classified as to whether in owned or in
rented buildings. The number o f high schools is next shown, and all
such schools are included, whether conducted in a building used exclu­
sively fo r that purpose or in a building in connection with the other
public-school grades. These data are followed by the number o f teach­
ers and the number and average daily attendance o f pupils, separately
classified as to whether in high schools, in kindergartens, in other reg­
ular day schools, in night schools, or in other public schools. The
number o f pupils as shown here means the total number o f different
pupils registered during the year. A ll pupils that have been trans­
ferred from one school to another, and whose names consequently
appear on two or more registers, have been counted but once.
Table X I V .— Public libraries.— In this table are shown the facts
relating to public libraries owned and controlled by the various cities,
together with information as to the number o f volumes in the same,
the number o f volumes added during the year, the number o f volumes
withdrawn for home use, and the number withdrawn for use in the
reading rooms o f the library during the period covered by the report.
Libraries, the titles o f which are vested in self-perpetuating boards o f
trustees, etc., and which are practically free city libraries, have been
included. In the report fo r September, 1900, data were also given as
to libraries under other than municipal ownership and control. It has
not been thought necessary, however, to cover such institutions each
year, and data relating to the same have not been secured fo r the suc­
ceeding reports.
Table X V — Charities: Almshouses, orphan asylums, and hospitals.—
In the first annual report on statistics o f cities data on this subject
were presented fo r municipal institutions only; that is, those institu­
tions which were supported or controlled by the municipality itself.
In many o f the cities which were included in the report, however,
institutions o f a similar character were found under the control o f
and supported by the town, county, or State, or by private contri­
butions. In some cases such institutions existed in cities which did
not themselves provide such aid. In most cases these private or semi­
private institutions were open to those unable to support themselves
or secure proper medical aid and other attention. In many cases



902

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

private institutions were found in which free service was given to
those needing it, while in some instances a part o f the support o f each
institution was contributed by the city as a condition to furnishing the
necessary attention to its poor. In planning the second annual report
it was determined, in view o f the public service rendered by these insti­
tutions, to secure data relating to them similar to that secured for
the first report relating to strictly municipal institutions, and publish
the same in connection with those data. This plan was carried out and
that report contained data not only as to those institutions owned and
controlled by the city, but also those owned and controlled by the
county, town, or State, or by private enterprises, such as churches,
benevolent associations, etc. It was the purpose o f the Department
to include in that report all those institutions which admitted the
general public or a specified class o f the public either free or partially
free. It was not thought necessary, however, to duplicate that canvass
for several years, and the present report, therefore, like that for last
year, contains data relating to municipal institutions only. The table
shows the number o f almshouses and orphan asylums, with the average
number o f inmates, and the number o f hospitals, with the total number
o f patients treated during the year. The column relating to the num­
ber o f hospitals includes in some instances smallpox hospitals or pesthouses, which are not strictly charitable institutions, but are operated
by the cities fo r the protection o f the general public health. These
are in all cases designated by footnotes.
Table X Y I — Cost o f water, gas, and electric-light plants owned and
operated by cities.— In this table it is shown whether the waterworks,
gas works, and electric-light plants in the various cities are owned
and operated by the municipality. W here these public utilities are
municipally owned and operated further data are given as to the year
in which they were built or acquired by the cities, and the cost o f the
same. The figures fo r cost represent the cost up to the end o f the
fiscal year covered by the report, and include amounts expended for
extensions, etc., in addition to the original cost o f building and equip­
ping the plants. Additional columns show respectively the miles o f
water, gas, and electric-light mains.
Table X V I I .— B uilding perm its.— This table, which did not appear
in previous reports, shows first the number o f permits granted for
the construction o f new buildings and the amount o f proposed expend­
iture fo r same, being followed by the number o f permits granted for
repairs and extensions to old buildings, together with the amount o f
proposed expenditure.
Table X V I I I .— D ebt and legal borrowing lim it.—This table shows
first the amount o f the bonded, the floating, and the total debt o f the
cities included in the report. In this classification temporary loans,
unpaid warrants, etc;, have been regarded as a floating debt. The
data as to debt are followed by those as to the amount o f the sinking



STATISTICS OF CITIES.

903

fund o f the various cities, which deducted from the preceding column,
showing the total debt, furnishes the figures fo r the next column, rep­
resenting the net debt o f each o f the cities. This is followed by a
statement as to the legal borrowing limit. In several cities it was
found that the bonded indebtedness as given in the reports o f the
cities did not include some special bonds, such as school, park, or
waterworks bonds, or bonds issued for street or sewer construction,
etc. They were omitted b y the city officials because they were not
considered a city debt proper, they having been issued for one or
more o f the special purposes named, and charged, in some instances,
against the property along the street or in the locality in which the
expenditures were made. In such cases the city usually acts as an
agent through a board or commission in issuing and redeeming the
bonds, but disclaims all responsibility fo r their payment. A s most
cities include all such bonds in their statements o f indebtedness, it has
been deemed proper fo r purposes o f comparison to include them in
these cases also.
The fact should be noted in connection with this table that in some
cases the debt as here given does not represent absolutely all o f the
public obligations o f the property within the limits o f the city. In
certain cases where it has been desired to make improvements for the
benefit o f a territory larger than that o f the city, the State legislature
has provided for the formation o f a board or commission and fo r bor­
rowing money fo r carrying out the desired improvements. This bor­
rowed money represents an obligation, not o f the cities as such, but
o f the board or commission, although interest and principal as well as
all expenses o f maintenance and operation must be met by taxation
against the property within the limits o f the territory benefited. This
method has in many cases been employed because the debt limit fixed
by the State legislature prevented the necessary borrowing on the part
o f the city directly, and as it is desired to retain a low debt limit, spe­
cific permission from the legislature is required for each issue o f bonds
in excess o f that limit. W ell-known cases o f this sort are Chicago,
with its drainage canal, and Boston, with its metropolitan park, sewer,
and water commissions. In such cases as these no attempt has been
made to apportion to the cities involved the proper proportion o f debt
chargeable in each instance, as it was regarded as impracticable. Such
definite information, however, as was available has been presented in
the form o f footnotes to the table. W ith regard to the city’s share o f
the county and State debt the same principle has been followed.
The conditions in Washington are somewhat peculiar. Being the
seat o f the Federal Government and the site o f the vast properties
necessary to its central administration, Congress, which is the law­
making body o f the city, has established the rule that one-half the
municipal expenses shall be paid by the Federal Government and onehalf raised by taxation. The act providing a permanent form o f gov


904

BULLETIN OP THE DEPARTMENT OP LABOR.

eminent for the District o f Columbia, approved June 11,1878, specifies
that “ T o the extent to which Congress shall approve o f said estimates
[of the annual expenses o f government fo r the District o f Columbia]
Congress shall appropriate the amount o f fifty per centum thereof;
and the remaining fifty per centum o f such approved estimates shall
be levied and assessed upon the taxable property and privileges in said
District o f Columbia other than the property o f the United States and
o f the District o f Columbia.” The principle laid down in the forego­
ing act has, with very few exceptions, been followed by Congress in
making the appropriations fo r the expenses o f the District o f Colum­
bia. In any study o f the financial statistics o f the city o f W ashing­
ton, whether in this or subsequent tables, this peculiarity should be
borne in mind.
Table X IX \ — B asis o f assessment, assessed valuation o f property,
and taxation.— This table shows the basis o f assessment, represented
in per cent o f the full value o f real and personal property. Two col­
umns are given showing the legal basis o f assessment. It has been
found in some cities, however, that in practice the basis adopted is a
much lower percentage than that provided by law. Two additional
columns are therefore given showing the basis actually used in the
assessment o f real and personal property. In passing, attention should
be called to the possible, if not probable, inaccuracy in many cases o f
the basis o f assessment in practice. In some instances it applies to the
valuation at forced sale; in some to the market value as determined at
private sale; while in others it applies to the asking price placed upon
the property by the owners. Then follow three columns showing the
assessed valuation o f the real, personal, and the total property in each
o f the cities considered, while the remaining columns o f the table relate
to the tax rates fo r various purposes levied on such property. In most
cases a statement was secured as to the rate o f tax levied per $1,000 o f
assessed valuation by or fo r the State, the county, and the city, and for
other purposes. The value o f the data subdivided in this manner will
be seen at once.
Table X X .— R eceipts fro m all sources.— Practically no change has
been made in this table from the form in use in the preceding report.
The actual income is first given, classified as to the amounts received
during the year from the property tax, from franchise tax, from
liquor licenses, from other licenses, from fines and fees, from franchise
grants, from special assessments, from trust funds, interest, and divi­
dends, from waterworks, from gas works, from electric-light plants,
from docks and wharves, from ferries and bridges, from markets, from
cemeteries, from bath houses and bathing pools and beaches, from all
other sources, and the total actual income from all sources combined.
This detail and total o f actual income is followed by a column show­
ing the cash on hand at the beginning o f the fiscal year, and another



STATISTICS OF CITIES.

905

showing the amounts received as loans subdivided as to long-term
bonds (2 years or over), and temporary loans and short-term bonds
(less than 2 years). These items form no part o f the actual income
o f cities, but a final column is given under the caption o f “ total
receipts fo r fiscal year,” in which are combined the amounts given in
the table as “ total actual income fo r fiscal year,” “ cash on hand at
beginning o f fiscal year,” and “ loans.” The cash on hand at the
beginning o f the fiscal year, as shown in this table, does not include
the cash in the sinking fund, except where so noted.
Table X X L — Expenditures f o r construction and other capital out­
lay.— This table, together with Table X X I I , deals with the expendi­
tures during the fiscal year covered by the report. Table X X I deals
especially with those fo r construction and fo r the acquisition o f prop­
erty o f a permanent nature, and for other capital outlay. The items
fo r which separate amounts are shown in this table are: Police depart­
ment; police courts, jails, workhouses, reformatories, etc.; fire depart­
ment; health department; hospitals, asylums, almshouses, and other
charities; schools; libraries, art galleries, museums, etc.; parks;
streets; sewers; waterworks; gas works; electric-light plants; docks
and wharves; ferries and bridges; markets; cemeteries; bath houses
and bathing pools and beaches; sinking fund; and fo r all other pur­
poses. The total o f these items follows. The next column shows the
amount o f loans repaid, subdivided as to long-term bonds (2 years or
over), and temporary loans and short-term bonds (less than 2 years),
while the final column o f the table gives the total o f expenditures,
including loans repaid.
Table X X I I .— Expenditures f o r maintenance and operation.— This
table is very similar in form to the preceding one, and shows the
expenditures fo r the maintenance o f all the principal departments o f
city work, together with the total expenditures fo r maintenance and
operation.
Table X X I I I .— Summary o f receipts and expenditures.— This table
summarizes the results o f Tables X X , X X I , and X X I I , bringing into
one presentation the total o f receipts and expenditures shown in those
tables. A column showing cash on hand at the end o f the fiscal year
is also given.
Table X X I V .— Assets.— This table shows the estimated value o f all
property, real and personal, owned by the city at the end o f its fiscal
year, including cash in the treasury; uncollected taxes; cash and bonds
in sinking fund; trust funds; and all lands, buildings, apparatus, and
furniture belonging to it, fo r whatever purpose used, as the city hall,
police and fire departments, schools, libraries, art galleries, museums,
parks, jails, workhouses, reformatories, hospitals, asylums, almshouses,
docks and wharves, ferries and bridges, markets, cemeteries, bath houses
and bathing pools and beaches, waterworks, gas works, electric-light



906

plants, etc. The value o f streets and sewers, however, has not been
included. Investigation revealed the fact that but few cities keep any
record o f the value o f city property; hence the figures in this table are
largely estimates based on the best judgment o f the various city
officials who furnished this information.
Table X X V .— P er capita debt, assessed valuation o f property, and
expenditures f o r m aintenance.--This is the last table o f the series, and
shows per capita the net debt, assessed valuation o f real and personal
property, and certain o f the detailed expenditures for maintenance,
together with the total fo r the same. Am ong these detailed expendi­
tures are shown the per capita expenditures for maintenance o f the
police department, etc., the fire department, schools, municipal light­
ing, and streets except lighting. The per capita expenditures for all
other items o f maintenance are combined in the next column, and the
column showing the total per capita expenditure for maintenance is
the final one in the table.
It is deemed necessary in connection with the other explanations
relating to the general tables to refer to unusual conditions found in
some o f the cities covered.
In Paterson, N. J ., the data in many respects differ considerably
from those given in last year’s report. These differences are to be
accounted fo r mainly by the fact that the fire o f February 9 and 10,
1902, which destroyed a large section o f the city, also destroyed many
o f the records from which these data were secured. F or this reason
the figures for the present year are in many instances estimates,
but they are the most reliable that could be secured under the
circumstances.
In W heeling, W . Va., owing to a conflict in authority between
certain o f the officials o f that city, it was difficult to secure reliable
data relative to that city’s affairs. Estimates have been resorted to in
many instances as the most reliable data obtainable.
The population o f Galveston, T ex., was largely reduced by the
deaths and departures on account o f the destructive flood which
occurred there in September, 1900. It has been thought best, how­
ever, to include this city among the number considered in these reports.
Some difficulty has been encountered in past years by readers o f
these reports in not being able to refer readily to particular cities
concerning which they were interested owing to the arrangement o f
the data in the tables according to the size o f the cities included.
The arrangement o f last year has been adhered to in the present
report. It will be seen, however, by reference to the tables, that each
city has been given a marginal number. These numbers, taken in
connection with the follow ing table in which the 137 cities are
arranged alphabetically, will obviate the difficulty experienced in con­
nection with previous reports. F or example, should the reader desire



STATISTICS OF CITIES

907

to refer to the data in the tables relating to Lancaster, Pa., reference
to the follow ing table in which Lancaster is shown, in its proper
alphabetical position, furnishes the information that for this city the
marginal number used in the tables is 90. Reference to that number
in each o f the tables, I to X X V , will give the data fo r that city.

LABOE CONDITIONS IN CUBA.
N E W L A W R E L A T IN G TO R A IL R O A D EM PLO YEES.
In connection with the article on “ Labor conditions in Cuba” in the
last number o f the Bulletin, that fo r July, 1902, on pages 752 and 753,
mention was made o f the railroad law promulgated in February, 1902,
and two sections o f the law giving provisions which relate to railroad
employees were quoted. This was the law in force at the time the
article was prepared for the Bulletin by the author. On A pril 28,
1902, too late to come to the attention o f Dr. Clark, a new order was
promulgated b y the military governor, General W ood, revoking that
portion o f the law entitled “ Criminal Law Affecting Railroads,” which
included the two sections referred to above as quoted, and in place
thereof substituting provisions differing in many important particulars.
The two sections o f the present law which relate especially to employees
o f railroads are as follows:

First. The Indianapolis convention having adopted the mining and
underground day labor scale in effect A pril 1, 1900, as the scale for
the year beginning A pril 1, 1902, no changes or conditions shall be
imposed in the Illinois scale fo r the coming year that increase the cost
o f production o f coal in any district in the State, except as may be
provided.
Second. No scale o f wages shall be made by the United Mine W ork ­
ers fo r mine manager, mine manager’s assistant, top foreman, com­
pany weighman, boss drivers, night boss, head machinist, head
boiler maker, head carpenter, night watchman, hoisting engineers, it
being understood that “ assistant” shall apply to such as are author­
ized to act in that capacity only. The authorit}7 to hire and discharge
shall be vested in the mine manager, top foreman, and boss driver.



1062

BULLETIN

of the department of labor.

It is further understood and agreed that the night watchman shall be
exempt when employed in that capacity only.
Third. A n y operator paying the scale rate o f mining and day labor
under this agreement snail at all times be at liberty to load any rail­
road cars whatever, regardless o f their ownership, with coal, and sell
and deliver such coal in any market and to any person, firm, or cor­
poration that he may desire.
Fourth. The scale o f prices for mining per ton of 2,000 pounds runof-mine coal herein provided for is understood in every case to be for
coal free from slate, bone, and other impurities, loaded in cars at the
face, weighed before screening; and that the practice o f pushing coal
by the miners shall be prohibited.
Fifth, (a) W hether the coal is shot after being undercut or sheared
by pick or machine, or shot without undercutting or shearing, the
miners must drill and blast the coal in accordance with the State min­
ing law o f Illinois, in order to protect the roof and timbers in the
interest o f general safety. I f it can be shown that any miner persist­
ently violates the letter or spirit o f this clause he shall be discharged.
(b) The system o f paying fo r coal before screening was intended to
obviate the many contentions incident to the use o f screens, and was
not intended to encourage unworkmanlike methods o f mining and
blasting coal, or to decrease the proportion o f screened lump, and the
operators are hereby guaranteed the hearty support and cooperation
o i the United Mine W orkers o f America in disciplining any miner
who, from ignorance or carelessness or other cause, fails to properly
mine, shoot, and load his coal.
Sixth. In case slate, bone, clay, sulphur, or other impurities are
sent up with the coal by the miner, it shall be the duty o f whomever
the company shall designate as inspector to report the same, with
the estimated weight thereof, and the miner or miners so offending
shall have such weight deducted from the established weight o f the
car, and for the first offense in any given month shall be fined fifty
cents; fo r the second offense in the same month he or they shall, at
the option o f the operator, be fined two dollars or suspended for two
working days; and fo r the third or any subsequent offense in the same
month, or in malicious or aggravated cases fo r the first or any subse­
quent offense, the operator may indefinitely suspend or discharge.
The company weighman shall post in a conspicuous place at the pit
head the names o f all miners dealt with hereunder.
The inspector designated by the operator shall be a member o f the
U. M. W . o f A ., but in the discharge o f the duties herein specified
shall not be subject to the jurisdiction o f the local union or president
or pit committee, and against any miner or committeeman seeking in
any way to embarrass the inspector in or because o f the discharge o f
such duties the provisions o f the miners’ State constitution shall be
invoked, and in addition he shall, at the option o f the operator, be
suspended fo r two working days.
In case it shall be alleged by either the local representatives o f the
miners or by the operator that the inspector is not properly perform­
ing his duties hereunder, it shall be so reported to the miners’ sub­
district president, who shall, within forty-eight hours after the receipt
o f notification, take it up with the superintendent o f the company for
adjudication; and if it shall be found that the inspector is not faith­
fully perform ing such duties, he shall be discharged or transferred to
other duties, as the operator may elect.



AGREEMENTS BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES.

1063

The proceeds o f all fines hereunder shall be paid to the miners5 sub­
district secretary-treasurer, and under no circumstances shall any such
fine be remitted or refunded.
Seventh. The miners o f the State o f Illinois are to be paid twice a
month, the dates o f pay to be determined locally, but in no event shall
more than one-half month’s pay be retained by the operator. When
any number o f men at any mine so demand, statements will be issued
to all employees not less than twenty-four hours prior to pay day.
No commissions will be charged for money advanced between pay
days, but any advances between pay days shall be at the option o f the
operator.
Eighth. The price fo r powder per keg shall be $1.75; the miners
agree to purchase their powder from the operators, provided it is fur­
nished o f standard grade and quality, that to be determined by the
operators and expert miners jointly where there is a difference.
Ninth. The price fo r blacksmithing fo r pick mining shall be sixtenths o f a cent per ton for room and pillar work, and twelve and onehalf cents per pay per man, or twenty-five cents per month for long
wall for pick and drill sharpening.
Tenth. It is understood that there is no agreement as to the price
o f oil.
Eleventh. The inside day wage scale authorized by the present
agreement—i. e., the Columbus scale o f 1898, plus an advance o f
twenty per cent—shall be the scale under this agreement; but in no
case snail less than $2.10 be paid for drivers.
Twelfth. The above scale o f mining prices is based upon an eighthour workday, and it is definitely understood that this shall mean eight
hours’ work at the face, exclusive o f noontime, six days a week, or
forty-eight hours in the week, provided the operator desires the mine
to work, and no local ruling shall in any way affect this agreement or
impose conditions affecting the same.
A ny class o f day labor may be paid, at the option of the operator,
fo r the number o f hours and fractions thereof actually worked, at an
hour rate based on one-eighth o f the scale rate per day. Provided,
however, that when the men g o into the mine in the morning they shall
be entitled to two hours’ pay, whether the mine hoists coal two hours
or not, except in the event that they voluntarily leave their work dur­
ing this time without the consent o f the operator they shall forfeit such
two hours’ pay. Provided, further, that overtime by day laborers,
when necessary to supply railroad chutes with coal by night or Sunday,
where no regular men therefor are exclusively employed, or when
necessary in order not to impede the operation o f the mine the day
follow ing, and fo r work which can not be performed or completed by
the regular shift during regular hours without impeding the operation
o f the mine, may be performed and paid for at the same rate per hour.
Thirteenth, (a) The duties o f the pit committee shall be confined to
the adjustment o f disputes between the pit boss and any o f the mem­
bers o f the United Mine W orkers o f America working in and around
the mine, fo r whom a scale is made, arising out o f this agreement or
any subdistrict agreement made in connection herewith, where the pit
boss and said miner or mine laborers have failed to agree.
(b) In case o f any local trouble arising at any shaft through such
failure to agree between the pit boss ana any miner or mine laborer,
the pit committee and the miners’ local president and the pit boss are
empowered to adjust it; and in the case o f their disagreement it shall



1064

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

be referred to the superintendent o f the company and the president of
the miners’ local executive board, where such exists, and shall they fail
to adjust it, and in all other cases, it shall be referred to the superin­
tendent o f the company and the miners’ president of the subdistrict;
and should they fail to adjust it, it shall be referred in writing to the
officials o f the company concerned and the State officials o f the U. M.
W . o f A . for adjustment; and in all such cases the miners and mine
laborers and parties involved must continue at work, pending an
investigation and adjustment, until a final decision is reached in the
manner above set forth.
(<?) I f any day men refuse to continue at work because o f a griev­
ance which has or has not been taken up for adjustment in the manner
provided herein, and such action shall seem likely to impede the opera­
tion o f the mine, the pit committee shall immediately furnish a man or
men to take such vacant place or places at the scale rate, in order that
the mine may continue at w ork; and it shall be the duty o f any mem­
ber or members o f the United Mine W orkers who may be called upon
by the pit boss or pit committee to immediately take the place or places
assigned to him or them in pursuance hereof.
(a) The pit committee in the discharge o f its duties shall under no
circumstances g o around the mine for any cause whatever, unless called
upon by the pit boss or by a miner or company man who may have a
grievance that he can not settle with the boss; and as its duties are
confined to the adjustment o f any such grievances, it is understood that
its members shall not draw any compensation except while actively
engaged in the discharge o f said duties. A ny pit committeeman who
shall attempt to execute any local rule or proceeding in conflict with
any provision o f this contract, or any other made in pursuance hereof,
shall be forthwith deposed as committeeman. The foregoing shall not
be construed to prohibit the pit committee from looking after the mat­
ter o f membership dues and initiations in any proper manner.
(<e) Members o f the pit committee employed as day men shall not
leave their places o f duty during working hours, except by permission
o f the operator, or in cases involving the stoppage o f the mine.
{ f ) The right to hire and discharge, the management o f the mine,
and the direction o f the working force are vested exclusively in the
operator, and the U. M. W . o f A . shall not abridge this right. It is
not the intention o f this provision to encourage the discharge o f
employees, or the refusal o f employment to applicants because of
personal prejudice or activity in matters affecting the U. M. W . o f A.
I f any employee shall be suspended or discharged by the company and
it is claimed that an injustice has been done him, an investigation to
be conducted by the parties and in the manner set forth in paragraphs
{a) and (b) o f this section shall be taken up promptly, and, if it i9
proven that an injustice has been done, the operator shall reinstate
said employee and pay him full compensation for the time he has been
suspended and out o f employment; provided, if no decision shall be
rendered within five days, the case shall be considered closed in so far
as compensation is concerned.
Fourteenth. The wages now being paid outside day labor at the
various mines in this State shall constitute the wage scale fo r that
class o f labor during the life o f this agreement; provided, that no top
man shall receive less than $1.80 per day.
Fifteenth. In the event o f an instantaneous death by accident in



AGREEMENTS BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES.

1065

the mine, the miners and underground employees shall have the privi­
lege o f discontinuing work for the remainder o f that day, but work,
at the option o f the operator, shall be resumed the day following, and
continue thereafter. In case the operator elects to operate the mine
on the day of the funeral o f the deceased, as above, or where death
has resulted from an accident in the mine, individual miners and
underground employees may, at their option, absent themselves from
work fo r the purpose of attending such funeral, but not otherwise.
And, in the event that the operator shall elect to operate the mine
on the day o f such funeral, then, from the proceeds o f such day’s
operation, each member o f the U. M. W . o f A . employed at the mine
at which the deceased member was employed shall contribute fifty
cents and the operator $25.00 for the benefit o f the family o f the
deceased or his legal representatives, to be collected through the office
of the company. Except in case o f fatal accidents, as above, the
mine shall in no case be thrown idle because o f any death or funeral;
but in the case o f the death o f any employee o f the company or mem­
ber o f his family, any individual miner may, at his option, absent
himself from work for the sake o f attending such funeral, but not
otherwise.
Sixteenth, (a) The scale o f prices herein provided shall include, in
ordinary conditions, the work required to load coal and properly
timber the working places in the mine, and the operator shall be
required to furnish the necessary props and timber in rooms or work­
ing face. And in long wall mines it shall include the proper mining
o f the coal and the brushing and care o f the working places and road­
way according to the present method and rules relating thereto, which
shall continue unchanged.
(b) I f any miner shall fail to properly timber, shoot, and care for
his working place, and such failure has entailed falls o f slate, rock, and
the like, the miner whose fault has occasioned such damage shall repair
the same without compensation, and if such miner fails to repair such
damage he may be discharged.
A ny dispute that may arise as to the responsibility under this clause
shall be adjusted by the pit committee and mine foreman, and in case
of their failure to agree, shall be taken up for settlement under the
thirteenth section o f this agreement.
In cases where the mine manager directs the placing o f cross-bars
to permanently secure the roadway, then, and in such cases only, the
miner shall be paid at the current price fo r each cross-bar when prop­
erly set.
The above does not contemplate any change from the ordinary
method o f timbering by the miner fo r his own safety.
Seventeenth. The operators will recognize the pit committee in the
discharge o f its duties as herein specified, but not otherwise, and agree
to check off union dues, assessments, and fines from the miners and
mine laborers, when desired, on proper individual or collective con­
tinuous order, and furnish to the miners’ representative a statement
showing separately the total amount o f dues, assessments, and fines
collected. When such collections are made, card days shall be
abolished. In case any fine is imposed, the propriety o f which is
questioned, the amount o f such fine shall be withheld by the operator
until the question has been taken up for adjustment and a decision
has been reached.

Eighteenth. The operators shall have the right, in cases o f emer­
gency work or ordinary repairs to the plant, to employ in connection

an employee is sick or injured, he shall be given a cage at once. When
a cage load o f men comes to the bottom o f the shaft, who have been
prevented from working by reason o f falls or other things over which
they have no control, they shall be given a cage at once. F or the
accommodation o f individual employees, less than a cage load, who
have been prevented from working as above, a cage shall be run mid­
forenoon, noon, and midafternoon o f each working day; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not be permitted to enable men to
leave their work for other than the reasons stated above.
Twenty-third. This contract is in no case to be set aside because o f
any rules o f the U. M. W . o f A. now in force or which may hereafter
be adopted; nor is this contract to be set aside by reason o f any pro­
vision in their national, State, or local constitutions.
Twenty-fourth. A ll classes o f day labor are to work full eight hours,
and the going to and coming from the respective working places is to
be done on the day hand’s own time. A ll company men shall perform
whatever day labor the foreman may direct. A n eight-hour day means
eight hours’ work in the mines at the usual working places, exclusive
o f noon time, fo r all classes o f inside day labor. This shall be exclu­
sive o f the time required in reaching such working places in the morn­
ing and departing from same at night.



AGREEMENTS BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES.

1067

Drivers shall take their mules to and from the stables, and the time
required in so doing shall not include any part o f the day’s labor,
their time beginning when they reach the change at which they receive
empty cars— that is, the parting drivers at the shaft bottom and the
inside drivers at the parting— and ending at the same places; but in no
case shall a driver’s time be docked while he is waiting fo r such cars
at the points named. The inside drivers, at their option, may either
walk to and from their parting or take with them, without compensa­
tion, either loaded or empty cars, to enable them to ride. This provi­
sion, however, shall not prevent the inside driver from bringing to
and taking from the bottom regular trips, if so directed by the opera­
tor, provided such work is done within the eight hours.
The methods at present existing covering the harnessing, unharness­
ing, feeding, and caring fo r the mules shall be continued throughout
the scale year beginning A pril 1, 1902; but in cases where any
rievances exist in respect to same, they shall be referred to the subistrict meetings for adjustment.
W hen the stables at which the mules are kept are located on the
surface and the mules are taken in and out o f the mines daily by the
drivers, the question o f additional compensation therefor, if any, is to
be left to the subdistricts affected for adjustment, at their joint sub­
district meetings.
Twenty-fifth. Mission Field scale is referred to Danville subdistrict
fo r adjustment.
Twenty-sixth. The company shall keep the mine in as dry condi­
tion as practicable by keeping the water off the roads and out o f the
working places.
Twenty-seventh. The operator shall keep sufficient blankets, oil,
bandages, etc., and provide suitable ambulance or conveyances at all
mines to properly convey injured persons to their homes after an
accident.
Twenty-eighth. The operator shall see that an equal turn is offered
each miner, and that he be given a fair chance to obtain the same.
The check-weighman shall keep a turn bulletin for the turn keeper’s
guidance. The drivers shall be subject to whomever the mine man­
ager shall designate as turn keeper, in pursuance hereof.
In mines where there is both hand and machine mining an equal
turn shall mean approximately the same turn to each man in the
machine part o f the mine, and approximately the same turn to each
man doing hand work; but not necessarily the same to each hand miner
as to each man working with the machines.
Twenty-ninth. There shall be no demands made locally that are
not specifically set forth in this agreement, except as agreed to in joint
subdistrict meetings held prior to May 1, 1902. W here no sub­
districts exist, local grievances shall be referred to the United Mine
Workers’ State executive board and the mine owners interested.

RECENT REPORTS OF STATE BUREAUS OF LABOR STATISTICS.
LO U ISIA N A .
F irst Annual R eport o f the Bureau o f Statistics o f Labor f o r the State
o f Louisiana. 1901. Thomas Harrison, Commissioner. 267 pp.
The law o f July 9, 1900, (a) being act 79 o f the acts o f the general
assembly in its regular session o f that year, established a bureau
o f statistics o f labor, with a provision that the commissioner o f said
bureau should make annual reports to the governor o f the State,
presenting statistical details relating to all departments o f labor in
the State. In pursuance o f this duty the first annual report has been
issued, covering the year 1901. The subjects presented are: Popula­
tion o f Louisiana, 35 pages; labor laws, 62 pages; laws o f various
States creating bureaus o f labor, 34 pages; manufactures, 32 pages;
labor on steam and street railways, 6 pages; labor organizations and
industrial disputes, 10 pages; miscellaneous, .73 pages. The last chap­
ter presents facts as to exports, the port o f New Orleans, resources of
the State, and addresses by Carroll D. W right, Calvin M. W oodward,
and Francis E. Cook on certain educational phases of the industrial
question. In appendixes are given the rules o f the Association o f
Officials o f Bureaus o f Labor Statistics o f America and o f the Inter­
national Association for the Legal Protection o f Labor.
M anufactures.— The bureau secured returns from 98 establish­
ments, giving capital invested, value o f materials and products,
number and wages or salaries o f employees, hours o f labor, weeks in
operation, etc. The returns were not complete in all instances, and
no summaries are attempted. A series o f tables based on the reports
o f the Twelfth and previous censuses is also given.
L abor on Steam and Street R ailways .— Eight steam railroads
and 5 street railways are reported on as to mileage, number of
employees, total wages paid, hours o f labor, days of employment, etc.
A s in the case o f manufactures, no totals are given.
L abor O rganizations and I ndustrial D isputes.— Thirty-eight
labor organizations answered the bureau’s inquiries. These related to
date o f organization, membership, wages, hours o f labor, and benefit
features. No occupations are reported, the organizations being des­
ignated only by schedule number. The number of members is 5,908,
one union not reporting.
The report on industrial disputes is in the form of brief accounts o f
each o f the 15 demands or strikes reported to the bureau. Space is
also given to a number o f suggestions as to desired legislation.

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

M ARYLAND.
Tenth Annual R eport o f the Bureau o f Industrial Statistics o f M ar y Trnid, 1901. Thomas A. Smith, Chief, ix, 255 pp.
The follow ing subjects are treated in this report, namely: Concilia­
tion and arbitration, 3 pages; prices and wages, 6 pages; strikes, 17
pages; labor organizations, 2 pages; employment bureaus, 16 pages;
coal output for 1901,1 page; agriculture, 26 pages; canning and pack­
ing industries, 13 pages; manufactures, 47 pages; the clothing indus­
try, 40 pages; employment o f children, 4 pages; manual-training
schools, 14 pages; immigration, 1 page; new incorporations, 15 pages;
labor laws, 36 pages.
C onciliation and A rbitration .—A fter brief introductory remarks
there is presented a proposed bill for submission to the legislature,
providing fo r investigation and mediation by the bureau in cases of
labor disputes.
P rices and W ages.— The data here given relate to conditions in the
city o f Baltimore in 1901, with comparisons with figures for 1890 and
1895. The wages given are average fo r representative occupations;
the prices are fo r 29 articles o f meats, vegetables, canned goods, and
groceries. Income and itemized cost o f living are also given for each
o f 11 workingmen.
Strikes .— Sixteen strikes are reported as having occurred in 1901,
13 o f which were in Baltimore. Nine strikes were fo r increase o f
wages, 6 for a shorter working day, and 1 to restrict production for
the purpose o f maintaining prices. There were 9 strikes ordered by
labor organizations, 4 o f which were successful, while o f the 7 under­
taken without organization 1 succeeded partly and the rest failed.
The number o f strikers was 2,552, throwing 3,430 persons out o f
employment. The wage loss is reported at $100,715, or $29.36 per
employee. The loss to employers is estimated at $62,650.
L abor O rganizations.— Returns were secured from but 22 organi­
zations, though the number in the State is placed at about 100. A
directory and reports on trade conditions and wages and hours of
labor make up the main part o f this section.
E mployment B ureaus.— In this section is given a report o f an
investigation o f employment bureaus in Baltimore, together with a
statement o f the benefits o f free public employment offices and an
account o f an experiment in that direction made by the commissioner
without legislative direction. From the report it appears that 124
males and 14 females applied for work, and 53 males and 6 females
were assisted in securing positions during 1901. There were 85 appli­
cations for male help and 304 for female help.
Canning and P acking I ndustries.— This chapter gives a brief his­
tory o f these industries, with a more extended account o f present
conditions. A table presents statistics taken from the .report of the

Twelfth Census; the bureau gives estimates for the year 1901. The
oyster industry is treated separately.
M anufactures.— Under this head is given a series o f tables based
on the reports o f the Twelfth Census, and a brief text discussion.
T he C lothing I ndustry .— Census statistics are here presented,
followed by a report on sweat shops in Baltimore, giving their loca­
tion, details o f inspection, prices paid for work, and a table showing
earnings and itemized expenses o f ten sweat-shop employees. Six
coat-making shops pay sewing-machine operators from $9.75 to $15
per week; basters, $7.80 to $15; finishers, $1.50 to $7.25; fellers, $5
to $5.75; for pressing, 8 and 9 cents per coat; and for machine made
buttonholes, 60 cents per hundred. Employment averages about eight
months per year.

inquiries made by the bureau. No tables are presented.
M anual T raining Schools.—This chapter reports the present
status o f manual training, following the recent legislative provisions
for the same in the public schools o f the State. It appears that 2,218
pupils are receiving such training, and that 19 teachers devote their
entire time to the work. These numbers relate to the State outside the
city o f Baltimore, which has given such instruction for a number of
years.
A portion o f an address delivered by Prof. Calvin M. W oodward, o f
St. Louis, before the late meeting o f the Officials of Bureaus o f Labor
Statistics is also given in the report.

labor, days in operation, and proportion o f business done; and a sum­
mary o f the foregoing facts fo r 9 principal industries. Additional
tables show fo r certain industries the amount and value o f specified
materials used and o f specified goods made; also a series o f compari­
sons between identical establishments in 49 industries for the years
1898 and 1899.
O f the 1,738 establishments reporting, 1,735 report capital invested,
the total being $255,689,550; 1,728 report value o f materials used at
$200,901,940, and o f products at $355,465,970. The average number
o f employees in all industries was 176,954. O f the 1,738 establish­
ments, 934, or 53.74 per cent, were owned by private firms, and 804, or
46.26 per cent, by corporations. O f the capital reported, $48,767,189,
or 19.07 per cent, was invested by private firms, and $206,922,361, or
80.93 per cent, by corporations. The per capita investment in private
firms by 1,636 owners or partners averaged $29,809; 28,774 stockholders
in corporations have an average investment o f $7,191 per capita.
Twenty-nine industries are reported as having a product in 1899 of
the value o f $3,000,000 or over. These 29 industries represent 73.69
per cent o f the capital invested, 78.82 per cent o f the total industry
product o f the State as here shown, and give employment to 69.13 per
cent o f the employees engaged in manufactures.
The follow ing tables present the principal data for these industries:

From this table it appears that more than one-third o f the females
employed in the manufactures o f the State receive less than $5 per
week, and that the per cents steadily diminish as the wage rate rises,
more than one-half the whole number being found in the groups receiv­
ing less than $6. Nearly 11 per cent o f the males receive less than $5

weekly, presumably largely boys. Beginning with the next rate the
groups increase, with one exception, until the rate “ $9 or under $10”
is reached. A bove this rate the groups include ranges o f $2, $3, and
$5, so that the comparison can be carried no farther. A t a rate some­
what less than $10 is found the median wage for males, while females
receiving $9 or more weekly comprise but 12.50 per cent o f the total
number o f females employed.
From the tables showing comparative statistics fo r 1898 and 1899

Aside from the growth o f business shown by these figures, the fact
is worthy o f note that 22 establishments which are reported as owned
by corporations in 1899 were reported as owned b y firms in the pre­
vious year.
M ovement of W ages and E mployment .— Reports received from
454 establishments were sufficiently complete to enable a comparison
as to the number o f employees in 1898 and 1899, and also to show the
number o f employees receiving an increase o f wages in 1899. The
number o f persons employed in these establishments was 57,472 in
1899 as against 46,896 in 1898, a gain o f 22.55 per cent. O f the 57,472
employees in 1899, 42,264 received an average increase in wages o f
9.8 per cent within the year.
C ost of L iving .— This is a continuation o f the presentation o f pre­
vious years, and shows the retail prices o f 51 items o f food and other
commodities in the principal markets in all counties o f the State in the
month o f June, 1900. Summary comparisons with 1898 and 1899 are
also given.
T rade U nions.— Under this head are given 10 tables showing mem­
bership, rates o f wages, hours o f labor, and benefit features o f 53
labor organizations in the State, together with an extended analysis and
general discussion. The membership o f these unions was 6,918.
F orty-four unions had a total income o f $46,369, o f which 39 paid
$13,604 to the national union. Benefits were paid by 31 unions to
the amount o f $21,365. Eight (the whole number reporting) cigarmakers’ unions, a musicians’ union, and 7 o f the 12 carpenters’ unions
report an eight-hour day. The longest day reported is eleven hours by
3 bakers’ unions and a retail clerks’ protective association. The reports

show increase o f wages secured through organization in amounts
varying from $0.20 to $2 per day in the different industries.
Steam R ailroad T ransportation.—Tables are presented showing
number, working time, and average wages o f railroad employees, in the
aggregate, and for each o f the 7 roads operating in New Jersey.
Street R ailways .— Reports were secured from but two compan­
ies—those which control the systems in and about Newark and Jersey
City. The first-named employs 3,065 persons, at an average weekly
wage o f $11.88. The largest groups o f employees are motormen,
1,017, whose average weekly earnings are $12.66; and conductors,
1,053, at an average wage o f $12.14 per week. These employees work
ten to twelve hours per day fo r six and seven days per week. The
second company pays 1,081 employees an average of $10.05 per week.
Its 345 motormen and 352 conductors receive $10.25 and $10 per week,
respectively, working ten hours daily, and six and seven days per week.
T he G lass I ndustry and C ompany Stores of S outh J ersey . —
This is a sketch presenting form er and present industrial conditions,
with some account o f the different acts o f legislation intended to remedy
certain abuses. These relate particularly to payment o f wages and
company stores. The remedy seems to have been found by the parties
concerned meeting by representative committees in a conference which
agreed to rules as to wage scales and apprentices and abolished com­
pulsory trading at company stores and compulsory occupancy of
company houses.
T he J ewish C olonies of S outh J ersey .— There is here given a his­
torical account o f the establishment and growth of a number o f colonies
planted to provide fo r a class o f immigrants who were practically
exiles. The oldest colony was planted in 1882, since which time a num­
ber o f others have been attempted with varying success. Some o f
them are quite prosperous and are o f especial interest as showing the
possibility o f a class o f persons who usually flock into cities to become
competitors in an overstocked labor market turning their attention to
agriculture and succeeding. Those colonies whose object was entirely
speculative have almost uniform ly failed.

In this report a brief review o f the year’s work o f the board is fo l­
lowed by a detailed account o f its proceedings in each o f 108 difficulties
that came to its notice. An appendix contains the laws o f the United
States and o f various States relating to the subjects o f arbitration and
conciliation.
Nine cases o f arbitration were referred to the board. In one of these
the employer went out o f business before a conclusion was reached,
so that but 8 decisions were rendered. There were 39 conciliations
effected by the board, 26 other cases were found to be in process of
mutual settlement, and in 16 cases the struggle was fought to an end,
new employees being taken on in place o f those who had been dis­
satisfied. Eighteen disputes were abandoned by the board for various
reasons.
There were joint requests for the services o f the board in 37 instances,
and by one o f the parties in 27. In the remaining 4A cases the board’s
interposition was voluntary. In 95 cases the difficulty had taken the
form o f a strike.
Questions relating to wages occasioned 44 per cent o f the difficulties;
hours and conditions o f labor, 39.2 per cent; and sentiment, as sym­
pathy, discharges, etc., 16.8 per cent.
N E W YORK.
Fourteenth A nnual Repw 't o f the B oard o f M ediation and A rbitration.
January, 1901. Thos. A . Braniff, Secretary. 372 pp.
This report contains an account o f the more important labor disputes
within the State during the year 1900, and a statement of the proceed­
ings o f the board in a number o f the principal cases. The arbitration
laws o f various States are also given.
There were 547 strikes and lockouts in the State during the year, of
which 335 were successful or compromised, while 212 failed. Ques­
tions relating to wages were responsible fo r 363 disputes, and union­
ism fo r 104, leaving but 80 for all other causes.
It appears that considerably less than one-half o f thfese disputes
came before the board. No summary o f results appears in the report.

The present volume is the tenth o f a series o f annual reports on
strikes and conciliation and arbitration issued by the French labor
bureau. The information is presented in form similar to that con­
tained in previous reports o f the bureau.
Strikes .— During the year there were 902 strikes, involving 222,714
strikers. Eight hundred and ninety-nine strikes involved 10,253
establishments. The strikes resulted in an aggregate loss o f 3,760,577
working days, including 1,115,524 days lost by 26,757 employees who
were not strikers. The average time lost per striker was 12 days.
O f the strikers 180,591 were men, 29,753 were women, and 12,370
were young persons. The year 1900 had the largest number o f
strikes, strikers, and days lost on account o f strikes o f any year since
the publication o f strike data, there being an increase o f 162 strikes,
45,888 strikers, and 209,843 days lost over the preceding year. Only
1 lockout is reported, 1 establishment and 55 employees being affected
by it. O f the 902 strikes reported in 1900, 552 were participated in
by members o f labor organizations, and in 253 strikes the employers
were organized. Twenty-three workingmen’s unions and 1 employ­
ers’ association were organized while strikes Were in progress or im­
mediately afterwards. In 42 strikes regular aid was given by labor
organizations for the relief o f strikers.
O f the 902 strikes reported, 631 involved but 1 establishment each,
91 involved from 2 to 5 establishments, 53 from 6 to 10 establishments,
73 from 11 to 25 establishments, 31 from 26 to 50 establishments, 15
from 51 to 100 establishments. O f the 8 remaining strikes, 7 involved
from 110 to 812 establishments, and 1 involved 2,500 establishments.
As regards the results o f the disputes in 1900, 205 strikes, involv­
ing 24,216 strikers, were successful; 360 strikes, involving 140,358
strikers, were partly successful, and 337 strikes, involving 58,140
strikers, failed.
The two tables following show the number o f strikes, strikers, and
establishments involved, according to the results o f strikes, also the
number o f working days lost, and the proportion that the number o f
strikers is to the total number o f working people in each o f 17 groups
o f industries:

transportation and handling, 128 strikes and 47,125 strikers; metals
and metallic goods, 109 strikes and 18,394 strikers; mining, 41 strikes
and 41,927 strikers; making 644 strikes and 170,404 strikers for these

o f strikes and more than three-fourths o f the total number o f strikers.
Considering the number o f persons actually engaged in the various

industries according to the census o f 1896, it is shown that the rela­

out o f every 1,000 employees having taken part in disputes during the
year. The group o f chemical industries comes next, with 140.80 strik­

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

Strikes due to wage disputes continued in 1§00, as in preceding
years, to be the most numerous, 646 strikes, involving 192,003 strikers,
being due to this cause alone. Nearly three-fourths o f the persons
engaged in strikes on account o f wages were either successful or partly
successful. O f the other causes o f strikes those relating to demands
fo r discharge o f workmen, foremen, or directors and for reduction o f
hours o f labor were most prevalent. O f the strikers who presented
the form er demands more than one-half failed, while of those demand­
ing reduction o f working time more than three-fourths succeeded either
wholly or in part. Those involved in strikes against piecework and
against the employment o f women were nearly all unsuccessful.
The next two tables show, respectively, the results o f strikes accord­
ing to their duration and according to the number o f strikers involved:

As in the preceding year, the strikes were mostly o f short duration,
579 o f the 902 strikes lasting seven days or less, 157 lasting from
eight to fifteen days, 94 from sixteen to thirty days, 64 from thirtyone to one hundred days, and 8 lasting more than one hundred days.
M ore than one-half o f the strikes involved 100 strikers or less
each. The smaller strikes, involving 25 strikers or less each, were
mostly failures, while the majority o f the larger strikes were either
wholly or partly successful.
C onciliation and A rbitration .— During the year 1900 the law o f




FOREIGN STATISTICAL PUBLICATIONS— FRANCE.

1081

December 27, 1892, regarding conciliation and arbitration (a) in trade
disputes was applied 362 times in 234 different disputes. The excess
in the number o f applications o f the law oyer the number o f disputes
is explained by the fact that some disputes extended over several
cantons, and that in some instances the employees o f each establish­
ment affected, or even each class o f employees in the same establish­
ment, entered separate demands fo r conciliation. In only 9 o f the 234
disputes was the law applied before entire cessation o f work occurred.
As the number o f strikes during the year was 902, the proportion of
the number of disputes in which the law was applied o f the total num­
ber o f disputes was 25.94 per cent. The proportion for the seven
preceding years, taken collectively, in which the law was applied, was
22.85 per cent. In 1900 the initiative in demanding the application of
the law was taken by the employees 141 times, by the employers 6
times, by both employers and employees 8 times, and in 79 cases the
initiative was taken through the intervention o f justices of the peace.
A s regards the results o f the application o f the law, it was found
that in 14 o f the 234 disputes work was resumed before committees of
conciliation were constituted. In 96 o f the 220 cases remaining the
demands for conciliation were refused in 88 cases by the employers, in
3 by the employees, and in 5 cases by both employers and employees.
In 10 o f the 96 cases the dispute was ended, after the refusal o f the
demand fo r conciliation, either by the complete abandonment o f their
demands by employees or by their acceptance o f concessions pre­
viously offered, while in the other 86 cases strikes were declared or con­
tinued, but in 4 o f these cases the employers, after the strike had begun,
consented to conciliation, thus raising to 128 the number o f disputes
to be submitted to such method o f adjustment. O f the other 82 cases
in which strikes were declared or continued 9 strikes were successful,
30 were partly successful, and 43 failed.
F or the settlement o f the remaining 128 disputes 140 committees of
conciliation were constituted, 2 disputes engaging 4 committees each,
2 engaging 3 each, and 2 engaging 2 each. O f these 128 disputes 60
were settled directly by the committees o f conciliation, 18 by arbitra­
tion, and 4 were adjusted by the parties themselves after having had
recourse to committees o f conciliation. This leaves 46 cases in which
the attempted conciliation and arbitration failed and strikes resulted
or continued. These strikes succeeded in 5 cases, succeeded partly in
24, and failed in 17 cases.
The follow ing statement gives a summary o f the cases in which
recourse was had to the law o f 1892 regarding conciliation and arbi­
tration, together with the results o f such recourse during the year
1900 and fo r the preceding seven years collectively.
« For a copy of this law see Bulletin No. 25, pp. 854-856.

The 778 cases of recourse to the law relate to 770 disputea.
The 362 cases of recourse to the law relate to 234 disputes.
There were but 180 disputes settled by committees of conciliation, 3 of them being counted twice,
because 2 committees were formed in each of these 3 cases.
d Figures here apparently should be 212; those given are. however, according to the original.

The above summary shows that o f 234 disputes considered in 1900,
106 were settled directly or indirectly through the application of the
law o f 1892, and in the case o f 128 the recourse to the law proved
fruitless. O f the 106 disputes settled 17 were favorable to the demands
o f the employees, 76 resulted in a compromise, and 13 were unfavor­
able to the employees. In the 128 disputes which continued after the
failure o f attempts at conciliation and arbitration the employees suc­
ceeded in 14, succeeded partly in 54, and failed in 60 cases.

thrown out o f employment, causes, results, manner of settlement, etc.
The data relate to strikes ending iii 1900 and 1901, respectively.
Strikes and L ockouts in 1900.— There were 1,433 strikes reported
in 1900, affecting 7,740 establishments. The strikes in the case o f
6,038 o f these affected the entire establishment, while in the case o f
1,702 only certain branches or occupations were affected. Operations
were completely suspended in 2,382 o f the form er and in 351 of the
latter.
There were, in 1900,122,803 strikers and 9,007 others thrown out of

226 thrown out o f employment on account o f lockouts.
Strikes and L ookouts in 1901.— During 1901 there were 1,056

O f these groups o f industries, that o f building had, as in the
preceding year, the largest number o f strikes, strikers, and estab­
lishments affected. Next in importance with regard to the number
o f strikers involved were the groups o f stonework and earthenware
and machinery, tools, and instruments, 58 per cent o f all the strikers
in 1901 belonging to these three groups.
The next two tables show, respectively, the results o f strikes in
1901 according to their duration and according to the number of

There were 38 lockouts reported in 1901, o f which 35 ended the
same year. The latter affected 238 establishments, o f which 60 were
entirely closed. A total o f 5,414 persons were locked out, and 95

sanitary dwellings for the laboring classes, together with a summary
o f the acts o f Parliament under which they have proceeded. The area
considered is the Metropolis exclusive o f the old City o f London.
Legislation began with the Laboring Classes Lodging Houses A ct of
1851. This act related to the indrease o f supply o f houses, with a view
to the relief o f conditions o f overcrowding; but a supplemental bill o f
the same date had the no less important purpose o f improving the sanita­
tion o f a certain class of lodging houses. Numerous bills and amend­
ments followed, enlarging the powers o f the municipal authorities,
until in 1890 a consolidating act was passed, under which, with some
subsequent amendments, the work o f improvement is now carried on.
The Public Health (London) A ct o f 1891 and the London Building Acts
o f 1894 and 1898 are also auxiliary to this work.
The housing o f the working classes act o f 1890 prescribes in detail
the mode o f procedure, providing first fo r a representation by the
proper medical officer as to the insanitary condition o f the area or
areas to be improved. I f this officer is derelict, two justices o f the
peace or twelve or more ratepayers may take the initiative. Then
follow provisions as to investigation, the determination o f costs, the
preparation o f an improvement scheme, methods of condemnation and
reimbursement, provision o f funds, etc. The term o f sinking funds
is limited to sixty years. Early restrictions that were found to be
impracticable or onerous provided that condemned residential areas must
be rebuilt with dwellings, and that the new buildings must accommodate
a population equal to that displaced. The first o f these was found to
be poor financiering, as the site frequently had a much higher com­
mercial than residential value, and the second interfered at times
with the object o f improved sanitation; they have, therefore, been
modified by a grant o f discretionary powers. The results show, how­
ever, that the aggregate operations have provided for a considerably
larger population than was found in the condemned structures.
The conditions demanding remedy were not only those o f improperly
constructed or dilapidated buildings, but also o f those so placed as to
interfere with ventilation, etc. It frequently happened, therefore,
that adjacent buildings must be removed for the sake o f making desired
improvements, o f which fact the act takes due cognizance.
Overcrowding might also take place when there was no fault to be
found with the buildings themselves, so that a system o f registration
and inspection has been provided for. A chapter devoted to this sub­
ject gives in brief the results o f various investigations since 1844, and
shows the slow progress made and the continuing need o f legislation
and law enforcement.
W hat has been done in the way o f the reconstruction o f insanitary
areas and the correction o f overcrowding has naturally occasioned
something o f a redistribution o f population. This opens the question

of workmen’ s trains, which is made the subject o f one o f the chapters
o f this report. The Royal Commission on the Housing of the W ork ­
ing Classes, 1885, investigated this phase o f the matter, and offered as
suggestions that fares on the workmen’s trains should not exceed the
difference between the rent o f their homes in the overcrowded dis­
tricts which required relief and the lower rents o f the suburbs, and
that the hours o f running should be adapted to the needs o f the work­
ing people. Provision is now made in the charters o f some roads and
voluntary action has been taken by others, so that in 1897 there were
318 cheap-rate trains arriving daily at London termini between the
hours o f 3 a. m. and 8.42 a. m.
A large part o f the report is taken up with detailed presentations of
improvement schemes devised for particular areas, of which plates
and brief specifications are given.
From tables showing the results o f the work done from 1875 to 1900
by the Metropolitan Board o f W orks and its successor, the London
County Council, under the Artisans’ Dwellings and Housing o f the
W orking Classes Acts, the follow ing totals are taken, these totals
including work in progress as well as that completed at the time of
issuing the report (September, 1900): Area dealt with, 94| acres; per­
sons displaced, 49,375; cost o f clearances, £2,898,616 ($14,106,115);
number o f persons provided for, 64,428; co3t o f dwellings (including
land and incidentals), £1,248,754 ($6,077,061); gross annual rent
receivable from occupied tenements, £36,692 ($178,562).

This is the eighth o f the series o f annual reports published by the
bureau o f statistics o f the department o f agriculture, industry, and
commerce o f Italy. It relates to the manufacturing, mining, and
agricultural industries.
Strikes and L ockouts in 1899.— There were 268 strikes reported
in 1899, o f which 9 were among agricultural employees and 259 in
other industries. There were 11 shut-downs, o f which three were
lockouts.
In the summary tables given, strikes o f agricultural
employees and shut-downs and lockouts are not included.
The 259 strikes considered involved a total o f 43,194 strikers, and
caused a loss o f 231,590 working days. O f the strikers 28,228 were
men, 11,280 were women, and 3,686 were children 15 years o f age or
under. The year 1899, like the preceding year, was not marked by
any strikes o f exceptional magnitude. The largest strike was that o f

railway employees in Turin, which involved 1,850 persons. Only 7
other strikes involved 1,000 or more strikers each. The total number
o f strikes and strikers was greater in 1899 than in 1898, but the num­
ber o f days lost was smaller.
The two follow ing tables show the causes and results o f strikes in
1899.

O f the 259 strikes reported, 141, or 54 per cent, were due to wage
disputes; 22, or 9 per cent, to disputes regarding hours o f labor, and
96, or 37 per cent, to other causes. O f the 43,194 strikers, 23,864, or
55 per cent, struck on account o f wage disputes; 6,015, or 14 per
cent, on account o f hours o f labor, and 13,315, or 31 per cent, for
other reasons.
W ith regard to the results o f strikes in 1899, it is shown that 31
per cent succeeded, 27 per cent succeeded partly, and 42 per cent
failed.
O f the strikers involved, 33 per cent were in successful
strikes, 38 per cent in partly successful strikes, and 29 per cent in
strikes that failed.

The 9 strikes o f agricultural laborers in 1899, which are not included
in the above table, involved 1,895 strikers, o f whom 1,130 were men
and 765 were women. Tw o o f these strikes were successful, 3 were
partly successful, and 4 failed.
Eleven cases were reported in 1899 where proprietors closed their
establishments for the purpose o f accomplishing certain objects, but
o f these shut downs only 3 were directed against employees and can
properly be called lockouts. These 3 lockouts affected 372 persons,
o f whom 368 were men and 4 were children. One o f these lockouts
was successful, but for the other two the results were not reported.
C ouncils of P rudhommes.— On December 31, 1899, there were
86 councils o f prudhommes, or councils fo r the conciliation and arbi­
tration o f labor disputes, instituted according to law. This was an
increase o f 5 over the preceding year. Only 39 o f these performed
their functions in 1899. Four cases were reported where they had
occasion to intervene in the settlement o f strikes.

More than one-half o f all the strikes during this eight-year period
were those o f textile workers, miners and quarrymen, and day labor­
ers, the textile workers alone having participated in 412 o f the 1,427
strikes. O f 361,331 strikers who participated in 1,415 strikes reported,
84,704 were engaged in the hat-making industry, 81,139 in the textile
industry, and 75,937 in mining and quarrying, making for the three
industries a total o f 241,780, or more than two-thirds o f the entire
number.

DECISIONS U NDER ST A T U T O R Y L A W .
C ontract of E mployment— B reach — M erger of Corporations—
Globe and R utgers F ire Insurance Compa/ny o f New York v. Jones,
Supreme Court o f M ichigan, 89 Northwestern R eporter, page 580.—
Action was brought in the circuit court o f W ayne County to recover
from James A . Jones the sum o f $1,106.19 alleged to be due the com­
pany named. Jones had been agent fo r the Rutgers Fire Insurance
Company under a contract for five years from March 1,1898. On the
20th day o f December, 1898, the Rutgers Fire Insurance Company and
the Globe Fire Insurance Company, both corporations o f the State o f
New Y ork, merged to form a new corporation under the style o f the
Globe and Rutgers Fire Insurance Company. A New York statute
provides fo r such mergers, and that “ The new corporation shall suc­
ceed to all the obligations and liabilities o f the merging corporations,
or either o f them.” Another clause provides that “ A ll the rights,
franchises, and interests o f the merging corporations in and to every
species o f property and things in action belonging to them, or either
o f them, shall be deemed to be transferred to and vested in the new
corporation.”
Jones claimed that he first learned that the Rutgers had ceased to do
business in Michigan in March, 1899, and learned about the same time
o f the consolidation. A t that date he had on hand the sum named above
as a balance due the Rutgers Company. He was offered the agency o f
the new company, but declined it, declaring that he had objection to the
men in control o f the Globe. The judge o f the court below had ruled
that the consolidation o f the Rutgers with the Globe was a breach o f
the form er’s contract with Jones, and that Jones was entitled to recover
damages therefor to the amount o f the company’s claim against him, if
the jury found that he had sustained that amount o f damages. The
jury so found, and the company appealed, declaring that Jones’s con­
tract with the Rutgers was made with a knowledge o f the provisions
of the New Y ork statute relating to merger, and subject to the same,
1094

and that acts done in accordance with the statute could not be breach
o f contract.
Judge M oore, who announced the opinion o f the supreme court,
affirmed the judgment o f the court below, using in part the following
language:
It will be noticed that by the terms o f the New Y ork statute the
two corporations were merged in the corporation provided for in the
agreement. This made a new corporation. (3 Cook, Corp. sec. 897;
Smith v. Railway Co., 114 Mich. 460, 72 N. W . 328.) Is it true, as
contended here, that, because one has contracted to render personal
service fo r one corporation fo r a definite period o f time, his contract
for personal service may pass to a new corporation, made up o f two
or more corporations by virtue o f the merger o f the two or more
companies? In 2 W ood, Mast. & St. sec. 91, it is said: 46When
a person contracts to work fo r another for a term, the parties are
treated as having contracted in reference to the personal qualities o f
each other, and the master can not shift his liability by turning the
servant over to another master before the term is ended, nor can the
servant compel the master to accept the service^ o f another person in
lieu o f his own. The consent ox the parties is essential to effect a
substitution, and this is true even though the servant is ill, and unable
to labor himself. [Cases cited.]
Everyone knows that insurance
companies, like individuals, differ in reputation and methods o f doing
business. An insurance agent has a right to say for whom he will
work, and under a contract to work for one company he can not be
required to work fo r an entirely different company.
Judgment is affirmed.

C ourt of M ediation and A rbitration — C onstitutionality of
S tatute — R ehearing — M andamus— Renaud et al. v. State B oard o f
M ediation and A rbitration, Supreme Court o f M ichigan, 83 N orth­
western R eporter, page 620.— A ct No. 238, acts o f 1889 (sections 559568, Compiled Statutes o f Michigan, 1897), provides fo r the appoint­
ment by the governor o f 44three competent persons” who shall consti­
tute a 44State court o f mediation and arbitration,” the title o f the act
being 44An act to provide for the amicable adjustment o f grievances
and disputes that may arise between employers and employees and to
authorize a State court o f mediation and arbitration.” Under the pro­
visions of this act, Pingree & Smith, manufacturers o f boots and
shoes, and their employees, by Timothy O’Connor and E. A . Allen,
submitted a question as to the prices to be paid by the employers for
certain classes o f work. The case was heard and a decision arrived at,
with which Pingree & Smith were dissatisfied, and they moved fo r a
rehearing. The court granted such rehearing, whereupon Renaud
and others asked o f the supreme court an appropriate writ to prevent
the rehearing, claiming that in granting rehearing the court exceeded
its powers. Pingree & Smith also attacked the court as being improp­

erly constituted, so that the supreme court passed upon the three ques­
tions o f the constitutionality o f the act establishing the court, its right
to grant a rehearing, and the proper remedy to be sought if such
rehearing was improperly allowed.
The contention o f Pingree & Smith is first taken up by Judge
M oore, who announced the opinion o f the court, concerning which he
said:
W e can not state their position more clearly than by quoting from
brief o f counsel. “ By section 28 o f article 6 fof the constitution],
the legislature may establish courts o f conciliation, with such powers
and duties as shall be prescribed by law. The general scheme o f the
constitution, as far as it relates to judicial officers, is for their elec­
tion, and not for their appointment. Section 23, art. 6, o f the con­
stitution provides for the establishment o f courts o f conciliation; and
by 6courts’ , here, as well as elsewhere in the constitution, is meant a
permanent organization fo r the administration o f justice, and not a
special tribunal provided for by law. I f the administration o f justice
embraces the enforcement o f the orders or decrees o f courts, the court
o f mediation and arbitration, being deficient in authority given by the
legislature to do this, is not such a court as is meant by section 23 o f
article 6; for, by the act o f its creation, it can do nothing but render a
decision on subjects submitted to it in a particular way, and file its
decision with the county^ clerk. Under the act there is no authority
given to the judges or members o f the court to compel the appearance
o f either party, nor is there any method o f composing the differences
or question in dispute by turning over the parties to a court with
authority to enforce its decrees.”
It is true that as to the members o f the supreme court, the circuit
judges, judges o f probate, and justices o f the peace, the constitution
provides that they shall be elected; but we think it is not open to
question that, if the constitution did not require these judicial officers
to be elected, but authorized the legislature to establish these courts
and prescribe their powers and duties, it would be entirely competent
for the legislature to do so. This is just what is done by section 23,
article 6, of the constitution. The act does not fail because the legis­
lature, in creating the court, did not provide its members should be
elected. * * * [The article referred to] reads, “ The legislature
may establish courts o f conciliation with such powers and duties as
shall be prescribed by law.” This language is simple and clear, and
would seem to give the legislature abundant authority to create courts
o f conciliation, and to clothe them with as little or as great power as
to the legislature seemed proper. It is to be regretted that the law
passed by the legislature is not a more perfect one, but we think it
very clear that the power conferred upon the respondent, if exercised,
is calculated to bring about conciliations between those employers and
employed between whom differences have arisen, and that the law was
enacted, as suggested by its title, to provide fo r the amicable adjust­
ment o f grievances and disputes that may arise between employers and
employed. The act does not undertake to confer power or impose
duties in relation to all classes o f civil cases, but such power as it does
confer is within the constitutional right o f the legislature.




DECISIONS OF COURTS AFFECTING LABOR.

1097

On the question o f rehearing, Judge Moore said:
The law which called this court into existence is the limit o f its
power. The act nowhere authorizes the court to grant a rehearing.
When its decision has been rendered and filed, it has exhausted its
power in a given case.
As to the mode of preventing the rehearing, the court relied on
section 191, Comp. Laws, which gives the supreme court general superin
tending control over all inferior courts, and accordingly issued a writ
o f mandamus vacating the order granting a rehearing.

Court of M ediation and A rbitration — P ower — C onstruction
Statute— Pingree et ah v. State Court o f M ediation and A rbitra­
tion, Supreme Court o f M ichigan, 89 Northwestern R eporter, page
948.— The questions here discussed are as to the scope o f the power
o f the State court o f mediation and arbitration, and as to interpre­
tation o f the clause providing that the court’s decision shall be ren­
dered in prescribed form within ten days after the matter submitted
has been fully heard.
Pingree & Smith, manufacturers o f boots and shoes, having failed
to reach an agreement with their employees as to the prices to be
paid for certain classes o f work, the two parties submitted to the
court a statement o f the points in issue, with the following introduc­
tory sentences: u Being unable to agree on prices o f the following
work, we hereby jointly request an arbitration o f same by your hon­
orable board, agreeing to abide by your decision. Prices to remain
in force until May 1, 1900.” This paper bore date o f December 16,
1899. The case had been fully heard on March 9,1900, and the decision
was rendered on the 31st day o f the same month.
From the remarks o f Judge M oore, who announced the conclusions
o f the supreme court, the follow ing is quoted:
of

Pingree & Smith insist that, as a matter o f law, the finding o f the
State court o f mediation and arbitration was erroneous, because said
court did not confine itself to the terms o f said written submission.
It is said by counsel: “ The decision o f this court o f mediation and
arbitration makes a new contract between employers and employees,
and substitutes it for the one existing at the time the submission was
made. W ithout any authority under the submission or elsewhere so
to do, the court o f arbitration said to the firm that the men who were
engaged to work and who were working by the day or week must be
considered or treated as if they had been engaged to work and were
working by the piece.” It is, o f course, well settled that when arbi­
trators g o beyond the submission they exceed their jurisdiction, and
the award may be set aside. The record shows that an attempt had
been made to have the prices fixed by the piece, instead o f having the
work done by the day or week, and that upon the hearing, without




1098

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

objection, testimony was given upon both sides, not only by local
experts, but by witnesses from a distance, in relation to the scale o f
wages by the piece as well as by the day. The terms o f submission
were doubtless prepared in view o f the actual situation and the claims
o f the respective parties, and, we think, are sufficiently broad to justify
the court in saying the compensation should be by the piece, instead
o f by the day or week.
The court o f arbitration fixed July 26, 1899, as the date when the
scale o f prices fixed by it should go into effect. To this the firm
objected, maintaining that the submission contained nothing authoriz­
ing the fixing o f a date. From the records it appears that a new
machine had been put into the factory on the date fixed by the court,
and that it was the change in methods caused by the introduction o f
this machine that was in part responsible fo r the dispute as to prices.
A statement was made during the hearing by Mr. Pingree to the
effect that the prices set would control from the time the machine was
put in. Quoting this and other expressions o f similar intent, the court
said:
In view o f these statements, made during the progress o f the trial,
we do not think the respondents can be heard to say the court erred
in fixing the date it did when its decision should take effect.
The contention that the decision was void because announced only
after twenty-two days instead o f after ten days, as the law provides, was
overruled by the court on the ground that such statute is directory and
not strictly binding, citing Rawson v. Parsons, 6 Mich., 405, in support
of this position. Judge M oore said o f the case in hand:
Several complicated scales o f prices were introduced, and, if the
testimony was to be intelligently considered and passed upon, some
time would necessarily elapse. What little delay there was is not to
be charged against the parties to the litigation, if to anybody; and the
law ought not to be given such a construction as is contended for by
the relators.
The case is affirmed.
From the above, Judge H ooker dissented, maintaining that the case
was not properly in court and that the writ by which it was sought to
be brought to its consideration should have been dismissed with costs.

Gabsky et al., Supreme Court o f Arkansas, 66 Southwestern R eporter,
page 915.— M ary Gabsky and others sued the above-named company in
the circuit court o f Sebastian County to recover damages for the death
o f John Gabsky, a minor, employed in the mines o f the company con­
trary to the provisions o f the law.



DECISIONS OF COUNTS AFFECTING LABOR.

1099

Judgment was in favor o f the plaintiffs, from which the company
appealed and secured a reversal o f the lower court, with instructions
fo r a new trial. The statute under which suit was brought is section
5051 Sand. & H. D ig., which declares that “ No person under the age
o f 14 years shall be permitted to enter any mine or to work therein.”
Section 5058 provides that “ F or any injury to persons or property
occasioned by willful violation o f this act, a right o f action shall accrue
to the party injured for any direct damages sustained thereby.”
John Gabsky was a son of the plaintiff and was 11 years o f age. He
had been employed in the mine about four weeks when he was killed
by a large rock falling upon him from the roof of the room in which
he was. The company denied willful violation o f the law, as the boy’s
age had been represented as being 15 years. The case did not rest on
the evidence, however, in the supreme court, but solely on the con­
struction o f the statute. On this Chief Justice Bunn, after citing the
sections quoted above, spoke as follows:
The direct damages here referred to means damages fo r injury
occasioned by the fact o f being permitted to work in the mines; and.,
the working in the mines under the prohibited age being shown, and
to be willful in the legal sense, it is ordinarily conclusive upon the
defendant, fo r the object o f the act was to prohibit the working o f
children under 14 years o f age in coal mines at all. I f it is thought
that an action fo r damages for the death o f a person, as in this case,
survives in the next o f km, it should be asserted by a complaint based
upon our statute o f survivorship, commonly known as “ Lord Camp­
bell’s A ct.” What should be shown in a case under that act we leave
to the plaintiffs to determine. But, as the case was tried solely under
the minors’ act, and a complaint made in strict conformity thereto,
and no provision is made in that act fo r a survivorship o f the action,

French to recover certain sums from Charles L. Powell, a contractor,
and a surety company.
Powell had entered into a contract with the city o f Los Angeles for
the construction o f a certain tunnel, and, in accordance with the act of
March 27, 1897, had given bond with surety for the protection of
material men or those furnishing labor “ o f any kind” in pursuance



1100

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

o f the w ork contracted for. A provision o f this law requires that
claims fo r materials or services must be filed in due form “ within
thirty days from the time such work is completed.”
French’s complaint set forth three causes o f action. One was a
claim fo r compensation for the work and services o f a man, team, and
scraper, furnished by him at an agreed price per day, amounting to
$514.75. The others were claims properly filed and assigned for labor
done by one Clapham as a blacksmith, to the value o f $154, and by one
French fo r one day’s service as superintendent o f work on the tunnel
at the agreed price o f $2.50.
The defendants controverted the allegations made and alleged fu r­
ther that the claims were not filed within the time required by the act.
The trial court found that Powell had, on May 10, 1899, assigned
all his interest in the contract in question to Swenson & Hill, which
firm had in turn contracted with one Chaffey to do the excavating,
grading, and filling required by said contract. Powell’s assignment
to Swenson & Hill was “ with the knowledge and approval o f said
municipal corporation, and all payments o f money by said contract
provided to be made by said Powell have been made direct to Swen­
son & H ill by said corporation as said payments have come due under
the contract.”
It was also found that French, Clapham, and the superintendent
had each rendered their services, the amount and value o f which were
found to be as claimed, as employees or at the request o f the subcon­
tractor Chaffey, and that at the time o f the filing o f the claims and the
trial o f the case the construction o f the tunnel was still in progress
and not yet completed.
The judgment o f the lower court was that Powell and his surety
were liable, and this was affirmed by the supreme court, Judge Chipman announcing its conclusions.
The first point taken up was the claim o f appellants that the suit
had been prematurely brought, contending that the clause providing
that claims must be filed “ within thirty days from the tim e’’ the
work contracted for is completed, also set a date earlier than which
no suit could be entertained; that is, that the entire work must first
be completed, and argued from an analogy to statutes relating to
mechanics’ liens. The court differed with appellants on this point,
holding that the right o f plaintiff was not similar to the lien o f a
mechanic, and concluded:
W e can see no good reason why the act should receive the construc­
tion contended for by appellants, while there are reasons why this con­
struction should be rejected. Aside from the long delay which often
attends the final completion o f public work, and the consequent hard­
ship entailed on laborers if compelled to wait so long, there is the
clear right to sue the contractor at any time; and why should his




DECISIONS OF COURTS AFFECTING LABOR.

1101

security, who has taken on himself in some measure the contractor’s
burden, be in any better position? The statute makes him liable as
soon as the contractor is liable, provided only that the creditor files
his claim as the law directs. This we think he may do without wait­
ing the final completion o f the entire work.
Continuing, the court said:
The question next presented is as to who is liable to plaintiff on the
claims the subject o f the action. Appellants contend that Powell is
not liable, because the findings show that the services were rendered
at the request o f Chaffey, who was subcontractor under Swenson &
Hill, the assignees o f Powell. The bond refers to the contract entered
into by Powell with the city, and makes it a part of the bond. The
condition o f the bond is that “ the above-bounden principal [Powell]
shall pay or cause to be paid for all work and labor done thereon, of
any kind, and fo r all material and supplies furnished for the per­
formance o f said work; * * * if the said principal shall fail to
pay for any materials or supplies furnished for the performance of
the work contracted to be done, or for any work or labor done thereon
o f any kind, that the said sureties will pay the same, in an amount
not exceeding the sum hereinbefore specified,” etc. The contract
contains the follow ing provision (paragraph 7):
“ The contractor will not be permitted to sublet any portion o f the
work without the consent o f the city engineer, and, whenever such
subletting is permitted, the party performing the work will be con­
sidered as the agent o f the contractor. The latter will be held respon­
sible fo r all indebtedness incurred by the said agent on account o f the
w ork.”
W e do not think that Powell or his surety could shift the burden o f
their obligation— the form er by assigning the contract and the latter
by consenting to the assignment,— without the consent o f the parties
entitled to its benefits, and such consent was never given by plaintiff
or his assignors. The finding that the labor was performed at the
request o f Chaffey does not relieve Powell, for the contract made
Chaffey Powell’s agent. Plaintiff looked to Powell, as is shown by
the claims filed. The terms o f the bond are very broad. Payment
was to be made “ for all work and labor done thereon [the tunnel] of
any kind.” A s to the surety company, it expressly agreed to become
liable for Swenson & H ill’s debts.
It is next contended, as to the first cause o f action, that as plaintiff
performed no labor, and as he furnished a teamster, two horses, and a
scraper to Chaffey, the claim should have been made by the teamster,
and not by plaintiff, and, as this was not done, there is no action
against either Powell or the surety company. The engagement for
the labor o f the teamster, horses, and scraper was with plaintiff, for
which a gross sum per day was to be paid for the outfit. Plaintiff
looked to Powell, ana not to Chaffey; and, as we have seen, the con­
tract and bond warranted this, and it was immaterial whether he did
the work with his own hands. As to Clapham’s services as blacksmith,
appellants claim that it was not the kind o f labor.contemplated by the
act, and was not the kind o f labor for which a mechanic’s lien will be
permitted. W e do not regard the claim o f Clapham as similar to a
claim o f lien under the mechanic’s lien law. The bond and the con­
tract with the city are the source o f the obligation, and the obligors

agreed to pay fo r “ any work o f any kind” done on the tunnel. Clapham furnished the labor, and it was labor such as the contract called
for, and he filed the claim in his own name. Appellant admits that
the claim o f French [the superintendent] is good, within the meaning
of the act, but it is claimed that it is not good against Powell, because
he did not incur the debt, and, being prematurely filed, is void for all
purposes o f the action. F or reasons already given, the objections are
not well taken.
W e advise that the judgment be affirmed.

A ct— C ontributory N egligence— Williams v. N orthern Lumber
Company, United States Circuit Courts D istrict o f M innesota, 113
Federal R eporter, page 388.— The plaintiff brought suit to recover
damages fo r the death o f her son who was employed by the Northern
Lumber Company as conductor and brakeman on a logging train. The
road on which deceased was employed was a private one, used only in
connection with the business o f the lumber company. The injury
causing the death o f Williams was the result o f logs falling from a
loaded car and striking him. A fter the plaintiff’s evidence had been
submitted, counsel for the lumber company asked that the court
instruct the jury to bring in a verdict fo r the defendant on the grounds
that the evidence showed no negligence on the part o f the company,
that the death was the result o f the contributory negligence o f the
deceased, and that if there was other negligence it was the negligence
o f a fellow-servant.
Whether or not the last reason given was a valid one depended on
the effect to be given to what is known as the fellow-servant act,
sec. 2701, Rev. St. o f M inn., which is as follows:
Sec. 2701. Every railroad corporation owning or operating a rail­
road in this State shall be liable for all damages sustained by any
agent or servant thereof bv reason o f the negligence o f any other
agent or servant thereof, without contributory negligence on his part,
when sustained within this State, and no contract, rule, or regulation
between such corporation and any agent or servant shall impair or
diminish such liability: Provided, That nothing in this act shall be so
construed as to render any railroad company liable fo r damages sus­
tained by any employee, agent, or servant while engaged in the con­
struction o f a new road, or any part thereof, not open to public travel
or use.
A fter stating the general rules as to negligence and the duty o f the
employer to provide a safe place to work, suitable appliances,, and
competent fellow-servants, Judge Lochren, speaking for the court,
discussed the bearing o f the statute quoted above, using in part the
following language:




DECISIONS OF COURTS AFFECTING- LABOR.

1103

[This section] would include responsibility on the part o f a railroad
corporation fo r negligence o f a fellow-servant, and it changes the law
in that respect, but it does not change it with respect to the effect o f
contributory negligence. This statute, as stated m several decisions,
would be unconstitutional, as being in the nature o f class legislation,
imposing a responsibility upon railroad corporations that is not
imposed upon other employers o f labor, if it were not from a con­
sideration that it is a peculiar regulation with respect to quasi public
corporations which have franchises from the State, granted for the
reason that the public is interested in the business of these corpora­
tions, and fo r that reason the legality o f such regulation by the State
is maintained as a proper regulation fo r the safety o f individuals and
o f the public generally with respect to corporations o f this kind. So
one question presented now is whether this statute applies to a rail­
road o f this kind, which is not a public railroad, used by the public, and
which is not a common carrier; fo r no person has a right to require
that he be carried upon it, or to have his private goods carried upon
it. It is a private concern, belonging to individuals, or to a company
which is not a railroad corporation, and therefore does not come
within the category o f bodies who are invested with franchises for the
use o f the public, which gives the State the right to make peculiar regu­
lations for public safety. It does not come within the language o f the
statute, because it is not a railroad corporation; and the proviso in
the statute indicates that the statute is intended to apply only to
corporations o f the character to which 1 have referred, possessed of
franchises, open to public travel or use, because the proviso is that
they shall not be liable fo r damage during the construction o f a new
road not open to public travel or use. It is said by counsel for
defendant that it can not apply to a J^aiiroad o f this kind because there
was no such railroad in operation at the time o f the passage o f the act
in 1887, and therefore it could not have been considered by the legis­
lature. I do not know what the fact is as to that. M y impression is
that counsel is right as to the fact that there was no such railroad in
operation at the time in this State, but I am not sure, and will not
assume, whether that is the fact or not. The language in this statute
indicates that it was not intended to include roads of this kind. But,
if it were the fact that these railroads were in existence in the State,
as they are now, then the presumption would be still stronger that
they were not intended to be included in that act, for the reason that
the language o f the act would exclude them. I think it is true that
an act may take effect upon business that was not carried on at the
time when the act was' passed if the language o f the act is such that
it will include that kina o f business, although the same was not known
at the time. But it seems to me the language o f this statute does
not include railroads o f this kind; therefore I feel constrained to hold
that the ordinary doctrine with respect to negligence on the part of
the fellow-servants applies in this case, and that such negligence is a
part o f the risk taken by the employee, and can not be imputed to
the employer.
Taking up the question o f contributory negligence on the part of
deceased, the court recited the testimony offered by plaintiff, which
was to the effect that Williams had charge o f the making up o f the




1104

train and the direction o f the engineer; that it was his duty to see if
the cars were properly loaded, and if they were not, to see that the
logs were taken off and properly replaced, so that there should be no
danger from them. Plaintiff claimed that the injury had been occa­
sioned by the improper loading o f the logs, but in view o f the above
testimony as to W illiams’s duty, the court concluded:
Here, he being negligent himself, and being the person that was
injured by that negligence, it comes under the head o f contributory
negligence, which would prevent a recovery.
It seems to me, upon both o f these grounds, there is no evidence
upon which the jury can lawfully find a verdict in favor o f the
plaintiff.
Gentlemen o f the jury, the court directs that your verdict be for
the defendant.

A ct— C ontributory N egligence — R elease — Schus v. Powers-Sim p­
son Company, Supreme Court o f M innesota, 89 Northwestern R eporter,
page 68.— Jacob Schus was employed by the above-named company as
a brakeman on a private railroad used only in connection with the
lumbering business o f the company. For injuries received while
effecting a coupling between cars on which the logs projected beyond
the ends o f the same, Schus recovered damages in the district court o f
Hennepin County. New trial being denied, the company appealed to
the supreme court, in which the judgment o f the court below was
affirmed.
Four principal questions were considered by the supreme court as
follows: (1) Whether the compan}^ defending the suit was a railroad
corporation within the meaning of, or coming within the operation of,
chapter 13, laws o f 1887 (G. S. 1894, sec. 2701) known as the FellowServant A ct; (2) whether the evidence established negligence on the
part o f the company as the proximate cause o f the plaintiff’s injury;
(3) whether or not Schus, who had to stoop in order to reach the
couplings on account o f the projecting logs, was guilty of contributory
negligence in attempting to make a coupling under the circumstances;
(4) whether there had been a settlement and release subsequent to the
accident occasioning the injury and prior to the bringing o f the suit.
The statute considered is quoted at length in Williams v. Northern
Lumber Company, above. On this point Judge Brown, speaking for
the court, said:
It is urged that the statute does not apply to defendant, for the
reason that it was not organized as a railroad corporation, and for the
further reason that it is not engaged as a common carrier of passen­
gers and freight; its railroad business being confined exclusively to
its own private affairs. The statute has been before the court repeat


DECISIONS OF COURTS AFFECTING LABOR.

edly with respect to its validity and its application to particular serv­
ants and employees, and has been sustained, not as a law applying
exclusively to railroad corporations as a class,— for, if that were its
purpose, it would, as intimated by Judge Mitchell in Johnson v.
Railroad Co., 13 Minn. 222, 45 N. W . 156, 8 L. R. A . 419, be uncon­
stitutional and void as class legislation,— but as applying to employers
whose servants and employees are exposed to the peculiar hazards
and dangers incident to the operation o f railroads. In that case the
court said: u I f a distinction is to be made as to the liability o f employ­
ers to their employees, it must be based upon a difference in the nature
o f the employment, and not o f the employers. One rule o f liability
can not be established for railway companies, merely as such, and
another rule fo r other employers, under like circumstances and condi­
tions.” Within the reasoning o f that decision, and other cases in this
court (Smith v. Railroad Co., 44 Minn. 17, 46 N. W . 149; Lavallee v.
Railway Co., 40 Minn. 249, 41 N. W . 974; Mikkelson v. Truesdale, 63
Minn. 137, 65 N. W . 260), the test in interpreting and construing this
statute is not whether the corporation engaged in operating the railroad
was organized as a railroad corporation, but whether the road being
operated is a railroad, within the ordinary meaning o f the term, in and
about the operation o f which employees are exposed to those dangers
and risks against the consequences o f which the legislature intended to
provide. In Suth. St. Const. 218, it is said to be indispensable to .the
correct understanding o f a statute to inquire what is the subject o f it,—
what object is intended to be accomplished by it. The subject-matter
of the statute under consideration, and its intent and purpose, were to
protect employees engaged in a dangerous and hazardous employment;
and, within the decisions cited, the character o f the employer is not o f
controlling importance. The statute is to be given, if not a liberal, at
least a reasonable, interpretation, and one that will carry into effect the
intent o f the legislature. Defendant was not organized as a railroad
corporation, it is true; but it is conceded that it is operating a line o f
railroad equipped with engines and cars, the operation o f which, so
far as concerns the running o f its trains, is identical with ordinary
railroads, except that it is in the interests o f its own private affairs.
Every purpose intended to be subserved by the statute applies to it.
The mere fact that it is called a “ logging railroad,” and came into
existence since the passage o f that act, is by no means decisive o f the
question. It is a general rule o f statutory construction that legislative
enactments in general and comprehensive terms, prospective in opera­
tion, apply aliSe to all persons, subjects, and business within their
general purview and scope coming into existence subsequent to their
passage. (McAunich v. Railroad C o., 20 Iowa, 338.) And within this
rule, even though defendant is engaged in operating a “ logging rail­
road” only, ana exclusively in the interests o f its private affairs, and
though such railroads were not known at the time o f the passage of
the statute, and consequently not then in the contemplation o f the leg­
islature, the operation o f its road, in respect to the dangers and hazards
to which its employees are exposed, brings it squarely within the
spirit and purpose o f the law; and it must, to effectuate fully the inten­
tion o f the legislature, be held to be within its scope and operation.
Though the literal language thereof limits its operation to railroad cor­
porations, we hold that it applies to any corporation or person engaged
in operating a line o f railroad, incident to which operation are the



1106

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

dangers and hazards to employees the legislature intended to provide
against.
A s to the second question considered, the syllabus by the court states
clearly the evidence and the conclusions o f law. The portion o f the
syllabus relating to this question is given herewith:
In this action the evidence received on the trial tended to show
that there was a general custom in respect to the operation o f the
road fo r the engineer, when cars being coupled came together, to
immediately stop his engine and hold it stationary until signaled to
again move it by the brakeman making the coupling. It further
tended to show that, on the occasion complained of, this custom was
not observed by defendant’s engineer, in consequence o f which plain­
tiff was injured. It is held that the evidence was sufficient to require
the submission o f the case to the jury, and to sustain their verdict to
the effect that such custom existed, and that the engineer’s failure to
follow and observe it at the time complained of was the proximate
cause o f the plaintiff’s injury.
On the third point Judge Brown spoke in part as follows:
It is true, as a general rule, that, if a person by his own carelessness
contributes to his injury, he can not recover. It is also true that a
railroad employee assumes all the ordinary risks and dangers of his
employment; but this assumption o f risks extends only to such as are,
in point o f fact, ordinary risks o f the employment. He does not
assume risks and dangers resulting from the negligence o f his fellowservants. The question o f plaintiff’s contributory negligence is dis­
posed of, we think, by the decision in Corbin v. Railroad Co., 64 Minn.
185, 66 N. W . 271,— a very similar case. There the car was loaded
with iron rails, and, as here [with the logs], they projected over the
end o f the car; and, in order to make the coupling, it was necessary
that the brakeman stoop over in going between the cars for that
purpose. He knew the situation, and the condition in which the cars
were loaded; and the court held that he was not guilty o f contributory
negligence, as a matter o f law, but that the question was one o f fact
fo r the jury to determine.
As to the point o f a release having been signed, it appeared that an
agent o f the company visited Schus while he was in the hospital and
gave him $75, securing his signature to a written release o f all further
claims. Schus denied any knowledge o f the fact that the paper was a
release, as he was unable to read the English language and relied on
the agent’s statements, which he claimed were fraudulent. W ith refer­
ence to this, Judge Brown said:
W e discover no reason, after a careful reading o f the evidence, for
disturbing the finding o f the jury in this case, though there are some
items o f evidence which tend strongly to corroborate defendant’s con­
tention, but it is by no means conclusive in its favor. There are cir­
cumstances, too, tending to corroborate plaintiff’s contention that the
money was paid as a donation. I f defendant did not deem itself lia­
ble to plaintiff on account o f his injuries, no reason is apparent why it
should donate to him any sum whatever; and, on the other hand, if, in



DEOtslotfs OF c o u r t s

1107

its opinion, a liability in fact existed, and one which, in justice, it
ought to settle, it is fair to assume, as the jury probably did, taking
into consideration the nature and extent o f plaintiff’s injuries, that it
would have offered him considerably more than the very nominal sum
of $75.

E mployers’ L iability —N egligence op Superintendent — C on­
S tatute — Canney v. Wallceine, United States Circuit
Court o f Appeals, F irst Circuit, 113 Federal Reporter, page 66.—
The plaintiff, a driller in defendant’s quarry, was struck by a rope
which was being handled by the orders o f one Anderson, and was
thereby thrown down and injured. On suit damages were awarded
and an appeal taken, resulting in the judgment o f the lower court
being affirmed.
The case rested on a provision o f the Massachusetts employers’ lia­
bility act, which states that the employer is responsible for personal inju­
ries to an employee occurring6‘ by reason o f the negligence o f any person
in the service o f the employer entrusted with and exercising superin­
tendence, whose sole or principal duty is that o f superintendence.
From the evidence it appeared that Anderson had charge o f a derrick
in the quarry; that he took instructions from his employer as to what
kind o f stone was wanted and then marked off the ledge, gave orders
to drillers, derrickman, engineer, tool boy, and signalman; that he had
charge o f the stones from the time they were started in the pit until
thay left the quarry, but that when not otherwise engaged he took his
hammer and went to work with the rest o f the gang.
It was maintained by the defendant that one who labors the most of
the time with his hands is not a superintendent within the meaning of
the statute, and that the meaning o f the word “ principal” in the
statute means principal in point o f time and not in point o f impor­
tance, and he cited cases to support this position.
A s to the status o f Anderson, Judge Putnam, speaking for the court,
said:
struction of

The evidence leaves it entirely plain that, although the plaintiff
worked with Anderson and Anderson worked with the plaintiff, they
were not wholly employed in the same class o f labor, and that Ander­
son had under his charge men not engaged in drilling, and therefore
men not engaged in precisely the same labor in which the plaintiff was
engaged, although in the common work and in the same gang.
The defendant’s view o f the statute had not been given to the jury
in the instructions o f the trial judge and the instructions given were
excepted to. Judge Putnam reviewed the cases cited by defendant
and concluded:
The result o f these decisions undoubtedly establishes as a general
rule what is restated in Reynolds v. Barnard, 168 Mass. 228, 46 N. E.



1108

BULLETIN OP THE DEPARTMENT OP LABOR.

704,— that, when au employee works with his hands the greater portion
o f the time, he can not superintend, within the purview o f the statute;
but they do not compel us to the conclusion that this rule is absolute,
and to be applied without qualification under exceptional circum­
stances. When the alleged superintendent is only a a mere laborer in
charge o f the gang,” this general rule might well be applied, if not as
a rule o f law, at least as a rule o f presumption o f fact so forcible that
the court would not allow a jury to disregard it. To go further, how­
ever, than to state it ordinarily as illustrative for the guidance o f
juries, would give an artificial construction to a statute which seems
simple, plain on its face, and reasonable in its purpose; and it would
also hold that the court could assume to know that a man can not work
constantly with his hands, and yet exercise superintendence in such man­
ner that that is his principal duty. Such an assumption would be so
forced as to exclude the possibility, which the common mind knows to
exist— that not only may an employee be engaged at all times in labor
with his hands, and yet exercise superintendence under such circum­
stances that that is his principal duty, but that, also, he may be so
engaged under such peculiar circumstances that quite continuous labor­
ing with his hands is a necessary part o f the duty o f superintendence.
Since none o f the decisions which have come to our observation were
rendered under circumstances which brought to the attention o f the
court the exceptional facts in support o f which the plaintiff produced
evidence in the case at bar, and since, therefore, we are not concluded
thereby with reference to such exceptional facts, and since, moreover,
the defendant’s proposition would compel us to give an artificial and
narrow construction to a remedial statute, contrary to the just and
reasonable rules ordinarily applicable, and since, also, the alleged sup­
erintendent in this case was, as we have shown, u something more than
a mere laborer in charge o f a gang,” we are unable to determine that
the instructions given the jury were not suitable and sufficient.
The judgment o f the circuit court is affirmed, with interest, and the
defendant in error recovers the costs o f appeal.

failed to make a case. The instruction was approved by the Circuit
Court, Judge Caldwell dissenting.
The defendant railroad company was one o f seven companies Avho
held equal amounts o f stock o f the St. Paul Union Depot Company,
and used its passenger depot and transfer yard under a contract which
gave to the depot company the right to prescribe rules and regulations
for the control o f the property used, and the exclusive right o f direc­
tion and command o f its switchmen employed in the transfer yard,
and the individual railroad companies had no right to turn a switch or
to direct that one be turned within the *said transfer yard. The rail­
road companies also agreed to indemnify the depot company for any
claims for damages resulting from the operation of their engines and
cars, or caused by the negligence o f the depot company’s employees
while acting for o.r in the furtherance o f the business o f the railroad
companies.
Am ong the claims made by the plaintiff were: That the depot com­
pany was negligent in promulgating reasonable rules, in failing to
employ a sufficient number o f switchmen, and in exercising control
and supervision o f the operation o f its yard; that Brady and the
employees o f the depot company were fellow-servants within the
operation o f section 2701, St. Minn., 1894, which makes railroad com­
panies liable to an injured employee for the acts of his fellow-servants,
if without contributory negligence on his part, and that the seven
railroad companies holding the stock o f the depot company were part­
ners and were each liable for the torts o f all the servants o f the depot
company. These and other propositions were argued at length by
Judge Sanborn, who announced the opinion o f the court, and all were
resolved unfavorably to the plaintiff.
The following syllabus, prepared by the court, presents in brief its
findings:
1.
The duty o f so operating a safely constructed and equipped rail­

keep it reasonably safe fo r those employed upon it, is not a positive
duty o f the master, but a primary duty o f the servant.
3. A railway company running its trains over another road by per­
mission is liable to its employees for the negligence o f the servants of
the licensing corporation in the discharge o f the absolute duties of the
master.
4. But such a railway company is not liable to its servants for the
negligence o f the employees o f the licensing corporation in the dis­
charge o f their duties as servants.
5. The power o f the alleged master or principal to command or
direct the alleged servant or agent is the test o f the liability o f the
former for the acts o f the latter, under the maxim respondeat superior.
I f the master or principal has no power to command or direct the
alleged servant or agent, he is not responsible fo r his acts, because
there is no superior to respond.

6. The G. W . Ry. Co. was operating a train through the yards o f a
depot corporation, under the customary contract for the use o f the
yards and depot jointly with other companies having like contracts,
when one o f its employees was killed by the alleged negligence o f the
servants o f the depot company in failing to properly turn the switches,
which were under the control o f the latter company. H eld the switch­
men o f the depot company were not the fellow-servants o f the employ­

was convicted in the general sessions court o f Marlboro County o f a
violation o f 22 St. at Large, p. 812, known as the Emigrant Agents5
A ct, from which judgment he appealed. The statute provides that
“ No person shall carry on the business o f an emigrant agent in this
State without first having obtained a license therefor from the State
treasurer.55 Section 2 defines the term “ emigrant agent55 as meaning
“ any person engaged in hiring laborers or soliciting emigrants in this
State to be employed beyond the limits o f the same.55 The supreme
court affirmed the judgment o f the court below.
A fter disposing o f the question o f the form o f the indictment, which
was held to be good if only stating the offense in terms of the act,
without specifying particular instances o f hiring or soliciting, Judge
Jones delivered the follow ing as the opinion o f the court on the sub­
ject o f the constitutionality o f the statute:
It is contended that the act in question abridges the privileges o f
the citizen in restraining his right to make contracts o f hiring, etc.,
and in restraining his right o f egress from the State. But we fail to
see wherein the act so operates, unless it be in a very remote and inci­
dental way. The act, which is reported herewith, does not affect the
right o f any citizen to leave the State fo r labor elsewhere whenever
he pleases, and to make such contract fo r his labor as he chooses. The
statute, as already stated, affects only those who carry on the business
o f an emigrant agent, whose vocation is to hire laborers and solicit
emigrants to be employed beyond the limits o f the State. It is easy
to see that the business is o f such a nature that the legislature might
well see fit to thus regulate it, not only fo r the protection o f the agri­
cultural and manufacturing interests o f the State, but for the protec­
tion o f the laborers themselves against the acts and solicitations o f
designing and irresponsible persons, who may ply such a vocation in

order to levy contributions from the ignorant and allured laborers, and
then not be found when the laborers, according to appointment, appear
at the railroad station to take their departure with him to their fields
o f labor. Payment o f the license fee, and the issuance o f the license
by the proper authority, afford some guaranty or evidence o f good
faith in the conduct o f such business. Nor is the statute discrimina­
tory, in any unlawful sense, by requiring a license for such business
when the labor is to be performed out o f the State, and not requiring
a license when the labor is to be performed within the State. The
business which seeks to induce laborers to leave the State, and the
business which promotes the employment o f laborers within the State,
are so different in their tendencies fo r good or evil to general interest
as to justify a different classification and treatment with respect to
them. A ll persons falling within the class named in the statute are
in all respects subject to the same requirements without any discrimi­
nation whatever.
The clause in the Federal Constitution relating to interstate com­
merce (article 1, sec. 8) is not violated by the statute in question.
The business o f procuring contracts for personal labor to be performed
out o f the State is not a commodity o f commerce, and any transporta­
tion o f persons that might result from such contract is so remote and
incidental as not to be deemed within the protection or meaning o f the
law o f interstate commerce. The case o f Williams v. Fears, 179 U. S.
270, 21 Sup. Ct. 128, 45 L. Ed. 186, [see Bulletin 36 U. S. Department
o f Labor, page 976], affirming the judgment o f the supreme court o f
Georgia (35 S. E. 699), is conclusive on this point, as well as all other
questions raised under the Federal Constitution.
It is further contended that the statute in question violates article
10, sec. 1, o f the State constitution, relating to taxation, because the
tax is not uniform. W e see no violation or the principle o f uni­
formity. The statute operates in every county in the State, and
affects every person belonging to the class conducting the business
described.
The judgment o f the circuit court is affirmed.

BULLETIN OE THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

Chief Justice M clver, in announcing the opinion of the court, said:
It will be observed that the offense here charged has become a crim­
inal offense solely by virtue o f a statute, and to the words o f that
statute we must resort in order to ascertain whether they cover the
case under consideration. Now, what is meant by the words “ the
parties,” in the statute? W h y, surely, the person contracting to
serve and the person to be served. It is not, and can not be, pre­
tended that W iley Adams, the minor child o f W illis Adams, ever
entered into any contract with the prosecutor, Goree, to serve him as
a laborer or otherwise. It is difficult to comprehend how a person
could violate a contract to which he was not a party, or how he could
be enticed to violate such a contract; and that is the only charge
brought against the appellant. W hile it is quite true that a father is
entitled to the services o f his minor child, and may by contract trans­
fer that right to another, yet such contract would be the contract o f
the father, and not the contract o f the minor.

Supreme Court o f C alifornia, 67 P acific R eporter, page 755.— In the
police court o f the city and county o f San Francisco, Robert Schaezlein
and others were convicted o f a violation o f the State factory inspection
laws. On appeal to the supreme court o f the State the judgment was
reversed, the act under which conviction was had being declared uncon­
stitutional. The facts appear with sufficient fullness in the following
quotations from the remarks o f the court:
Petitioner was charged with violating the provisions o f “ An act to
provide for the proper sanitary condition o f factories,” etc., approved
February 6,1889. That act declares as follows: “ I f in any factory or
workshop any process or work is carried on by which dust, filaments
or injurious gases are generated or produced that are liable to be
inhaled by the persons employed therein, and it appears to the com­
missioner o f the bureau o f labor statistics that such inhalation could,
to a great extent, be prevented b y the use o f some mechanical con­
trivance, he shall direct that such contrivance shall be provided, and
within a reasonable time it shall be so provided and used.” Section 6
o f the act makes it a misdemeanor fo r any person to violate any o f the
provisions o f the act. (St. 1889, p. 3.) Petitioner was convicted o f hav­
ing unlawfully refused and neglected, after notice, to provide and use
a suction exhauster with property attached pipes, hoods, etc., in a metal
polishing shop, within a reasonable time after having been directed
so to do.
The ultimate question presented for consideration under this writ is
that o f the constitutionality o f the act above quoted. That the legis­
lature may not delegate its lawmaking functions, excepting to such

agents and mandatories as are recognized by the constitution, is, of
course, beyond controversy. Equally we think beyond controversy,
however, is the right o f the State, in the exercise o f its police power,
to pass reasonable laws for the protection o f the health o f employees
in given vocations, and to make the violation o f those laws penal
offenses. It is no invasion o f the right o f the employer freely to con­
tract with his employee to provide by general law that all employers
shall furnish a reasonably safe place and reasonably wholesome sur­
roundings fo r their employees. The difficulty with the present Jaw,
however, is that it does not so provide, but that it is an attempt to con­
fer upon a single person the right arbitrarily to determine, not only that
the sanitary condition o f a workshop or factory is not reasonably good,
but to say whether, even if reasonably good, in his judgment its condi­
tion could be improved by the use o f such appliances as he may desig­
nate, and then to make a penal offense o f the failure to install such
appliances. The legislature, as we have said, may require the owners
o f factories and workshops to put their buildings in proper condition
as to sanitation, may require them to provide reasonable safeguards
against danger for the operatives, but it may not leave the question as
to whether and how these things shall be done or not done at the
arbitrary disposition o f any individual.
The manifest objection to this law is that upon the commissioner has
been imposed, not the duty to enforce a law o f the legislature, but the
power to make a law for the individual, and to enforce such rules of
conduct as he may prescribe. It is thus arbitrary, special legislation,
and violative o f the constitution.

F ellow -S ervants— C onstruction of Statute— Jenkins v. M am moth M ining Company, Supreme Court o f Utah, 68 P acific R eporter,
page 8I f . — Abram Jenkins, a miner employed by the above-named
company, sued to recover damages fo r injuries received while so
employed. Judgment was in his favor in the district court o f the fifth
district, from which the company appealed. The supreme court
affirmed the judgment o f the court below. It is sufficient to say that
the case turned upon the construction o f section 1443 o f the revised
statutes o f Utah, which relates to fellow-servants. The finding o f the
court is stated in the follow ing sections o f the syllabus, which, though
unofficial, is a concise and accurate statement as to these points.
1. Rev. St., sec. 1443, provides that all persons who, while in the
service o f anyone, are in the same grade o f service, and are working
together at the same time and place and to a common purpose, neither
o f such persons being intrusted by such employer with any superin­
tendence or control over his fellow-employees, are fellow-servants with
each other. H eld, that a miner is not a fellow-servant with one whose
duty it is to manage and operate a cage by which the miners are con­
veyed in and out o f the mine.

o f Laurel v. Turner, Supreme Court o f M ississippi, SI Southern
R eporter, page 965.— W . D. Turner was an employee of the city o f
Laurel, against whom A. J. L yon & Co. obtained a judgment for about
$90 in the court o f a justice o f the peace. Lyon & Co. then gar­
nisheed the city o f Laurel as a debtor o f Turner, to which the city
entered the defense that a municipal board was not subject to such a
proceeding. This plea was erroneously overruled, and a subsequent
appeal, fo r some undisclosed reason, was dismissed.
The city then paid Lyon & Co. the amount claimed and had the
judgment assigned to itself and proceeded to withhold Turner’s wages
for its own reimbursement.
Turner thereupon sued in a court o f a justice o f the peace and
obtained judgment against the city for wages due, which judgment
was affirmed in the circuit court, when an appeal was taken to the
supreme court o f the State, which, in its turn, affirmed the decision
o f the courts below.
Section 1963 o f the code exempts from execution the wages o f every
person working for wages, being the head o f a family, to the amount
o f $100. Section 2139 provides that any garnishee may defend by
declaring that he believes that the party from whom recovery is
sought will claim the debt or property, or some part thereof, as
exempt, whereupon such debtor shall be notified to appear and assert
his rights, pending the determination o f which proceedings shall be
stayed.
Judge Calhoon, speaking for the court, said:
to

Turner’s wages, under Code, sec. 1963, par. 10, cl. 44a,” were exempt
from execution,— he being the head o f a large family; and the city
should have set up the fact in its answer to the writ o f garnishment.
By not doing so, it 44deprived the defendant o f the exemption which
the law affords him,” if its silence were effective, which it is not.

o f counsel fo r appellee. Code, sec. 2139, marks out the course o f the
garnisheed debtor; and, if he fails to observe it, he fails at his own
peril. Exemptions are highly favored by the law, and their protection
may not be defeated by the intention or negligence o f garnishees.

M isjoinder of Causes of A ction—Lewis's Adm inistrator v. Taylor
Coal Company o f Kentucky, Court o f Appeals o f K entucky, 66 South­
western R eporter,page 101^.— H. W . Lewis was a coal miner employed
by the above-named company during the progress o f a strike at its
mines. He was threatened with violence and appealed to the com ­
pany for protection, which was promised but not furnished. Lewis
was assaulted and severely beaten, and died some months later as a
result o f wounds then received. F or the assault, pain, and suffering,
and subsequent death, damages were sued for in the circuit court of
Ohio County, judgment being rendered in favor of the coal company.
Lewis’s administrator then appealed and the court o f appeals affirmed
the judgment o f the court below.
Section 241 o f the constitution of Kentucky provides that there may
be a recovery o f damages where death is the result o f negligence or
wrongful act. Section 6 o f the Kentucky statutes was enacted in
accordance with this provision o f the constitution. A fter referring
to these provisions o f law, Judge Paynter. who announced the opinion
of the court, said:
from

A t common law the right o f action for the injury to the person
abated on the death o f the party injured. Under K y. St. sec. 10,
the cause o f action fo r personal injury, causing physical and mental
suffering, does not abate on the death o f the injured person, except
actions io r assault [and some others]. So, under the principles o f the
common law, if appellee had, through its agent, inflicted the injury
which resulted in physical pain and mental suffering and death, neither
cause o f action would have survived. This court has held that the
cause o f action fo r death can not be joined with the cause o f action
fo r physical pain and mental suffering; that a recovery for one bars
an action for the other. [Cases cited.]
The master does not undertake to protect the servant from the
criminal acts o f others. This is not a duty which the law imposes,
or which arises from the relation o f master and servant. The law
does not make one liable civilty or criminally for the criminal act o f
another unless the positions o f the parties are such relatively that the
act must be considered as having been, in contemplation o f law,
advised or procured to be done by another. Actionable negligence
arises from a duty imposed by law to use ordinary care under the con­
ditions in which a person upon whom a duty rests is placed.
W ith these general observations, we come to the consideration of
sections 6 and 10 o f the Kentucky statutes. The word “ negligence”
is used in section 6 in its usual and ordinary sense. It was intended
to make one liable for his own negligent act, or for that o f another for
whose act he is responsible. The words “ wrongful act” are compre­
hensive enough to include negligent acts, but they were intended pri­
marily to cover cases where the act was wanton or was intentionally




1116

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

committed, or where one may have counseled or procured another to
do it, when, in contemplation o f law, the act o f counseling or advising
makes the wrongful act his own. It is not charged that under the
law o f master and servant (nor could it have been correctly done) the
appellee was bound to furnish a guard to protect the decedent from
tne hands o f a mob. Therefore there was no breach o f duty imposed
by law which would make it guilty o f negligence. It is not charged
that the appellee inflicted the injury upon decedent, or counseled,
advised, or procured others to do it. Therefore it is not charged, nor
could it have been, that the appellee was guilty o f the wrongful act
which resulted in the injury and death. Having reached the foregoing
conclusion, it follows that an action fo r the death o f the intestate will
not lie under section 241 o f the constitution, or section 6 of the Ken­
tucky statutes. I f appellee had been liable at common law for the
assault and battery committed upon the person of the intestate, the
cause o f action would not have survived to the personal representa­
tive, because the act complained o f was an assault, and an action
therefor does not survive to the personal representative. [See pro­
vision o f sec. 10 K y. St., above]. This court has held in Anderson v.
Arnold’s E x’ r., 79 K y. 370, that an action fo r an assault and battery
does not survive. O f course, the court did not mean to hold that,
when death has resulted from an assault, any cause o f action which
was given under the statute for the death would not survive; neither
do we want to be understood as holding a cause o f action given for
the death o f a person, either by section 241 o f the constitution, or any
section o f the statuses, is affected by section 10, although the death
was the result o f an assault. W e simply hold that the cause o f action
for the assault and battery does not survive. The action is really one
in contract. The contract averred can not bring the case within the
provisions o f section 241 o f the constitution and section 6 o f the
statute; nor can it have the effect o f keeping alive a cause o f action,
if it existed, which section 10 o f the statute declares does not survive.
The judgment is affirmed.

DECISIONS OF COURTS AFFECTING LABOR.

1117

The following syllabus by the court presents the conclusions of law
deciding the case:
1. A master is under no legal obligation to give to his discharged
servant a statement o f his service, ana whether or not it was satisfac­
tory; and a discharged railroad employee can not maintain an action
for damages against the company which discharged him, for refusal
to furnish him with a clearance or statement o f the record of his serv­
ice, although he may have been unable to obtain other employment
in consequence o f such refusal by the company.
2. It is the right o f every person, natural or artificial, to employ or
refuse to employ in his business whomsoever he may wish; and he
can not be called upon to answer fo r his judgment in th^t regard by
the public or individuals, nor can the motives which prompt his action
be considered. A railroad company may lawfully refuse to continue
in its employ a person who has engaged in a strike affecting its
interests, or who has shown himself to be negligent, incompetent,
inefficient, or dishonest.

Southern R eporter, page 790.— This was an action by John P. Daly to
recover damages for injuries received while at work in the sawmill of
Herrin, Lambert & Co. The judgment was in favor o f plaintiff and
rested chiefly on the ju ry’s conclusion as to the application of the
common-law rule o f fellow-servants. A point of some interest was
the ruling o f the trial judge permitting the question to be asked as to
any contract of indemnity that the firm might have with a guaranty
company. Defendants objected to the question, but the objection was
overruled, and the fact appeared that the company was indemnified to
the extent o f $1,500. Verdict for Daly was rendered, awarding dam­
ages in the sum o f $1,500, and an appeal was taken to the supreme
court, which reversed the court below and remanded the case for a new
trial.
Discussing this ruling, Judge Calhoon, speaking for the court said:
On the cross-examination by appellee’s counsel o f Lambert, one of
the defendants below, as a witness, he was asked if there was any one
back o f his firm who would satisfy the j udgment if obtained. The court
overruled an objection to this, and we think this action error. It could
not conceivably throw any light on the issue, and could have no other
tendency than to seduce a verdict on the ground that an insurance
company, and not the defendants, would be affected.

injuries occasioned by the explosion o f a stone furnished by his
employer, Beattie, and from this judgment Beattie appealed, securing
a reversal. The stone had been purchased in ordinary course o f busi­
ness, and when thrown to the ground by M ooney’s assistant it ex­
ploded on account o f a charge o f dynamite remaining in it, which had
failed to explode during the process o f quarrying.
The question turned on the duty o f inspection, and on this point
Judge Hammond, who delivered the opinion o f the court, summed up
as follows:
The whole testimony showed that the inspection was a general prac­
tice at the quarries, and all the expert witnesses, both quarrymen and
contractors, testified that they never knew such an inspection to be
made anywhere else. Not a single witness was called to show that the
contractor ever inspected the stone purchased by him from quarrymen. Judging the conduct o f the defendants by the usual standard
under the circumstances, we do not think that the defendants are
shown to have exercised less than reasonable care and prudence in
the discharge o f their duty to the plaintiff. The accident was the
result o f an unforeseen and almost unprecedented combination of
circumstances, fo r which the defendant can not reasonably be held
responsible.

ters and H elpers et al. v. Camming et ah, Court o f Appeals o f New York,
63 Northeastern R eporter, page 369.— This case arose from the action o f
Gumming, Nugent, and others, members and officers o f the Enterprise
Association o f Steam Fitters and the Progress Association o f Steam
Fitters and Helpers, in undertaking to procure the discharge o f
McQueed and others, members o f the National Protective Association
o f Steam Fitters and Helpers. McQueed had been instrumental in
organizing the latter association after having been refused member­
ship in one o f the defendant associations on the ground that he had
failed to pass the required* examination. A t a hearing in special term
an injunction was granted restraining Cumming et al., according to
the prayers o f the plaintiff, but an appeal to the appellate division
procured a reversal o f the trial court’s judgment. An appeal was
then taken by the National Protective Association to the Court of
Appeals, resulting in an affirmation o f the order o f the appellate
division.
The facts, on which no question was raised at this hearing, were
found by the trial judge to be as follows:
That the defendant Cumming threatened to cause a general strike
against the plaintiff association and against the plaintiff McQueed
wherever he found them at work, and that he would not allow them to
work at any job in the city o f New Y ork, except some small jobs

where the men o f the Enterprise Association were not employed, and
that he and the defendant Nugent threatened to drive the plaintiff
association out o f existence; that the defendants Cumming and Nugent,
while acting in their capacity o f walking delegates for their respec­
tive associations, and members o f the board o f delegates, caused the
plaintiff McQueed and other members o f the plaintiff association to be
discharged by their employers from various places o f work upon
buildings in the course o f erection by threatening the said employers
that if they did not discharge the members o f the plaintiff association,
and employ the members o f the Enterprise [and] Progress Associa­
tion^] in their stead, the said walking delegates would cause a general
strike o f all men o f other trades employed on said buildings, and that
the defendant Cumming, as such walking delegate, did cause strikes
in order to prevent the members o f the plaintiff association from con­
tinuing with the work they were doing at the time the strike was
ordered, and that the said employers, by reason of said threats and
the acts o f the defendants Cumming and Nugent, discharged the
members o f the plaintiff association, and employed the members o f the
Enterprise and Progress associations in their stead.
There was a minority opinion, drawn up by Judge Vann and con­
curred in by two others. The opinion o f the court was prepared by
Chief Justice Parker, being concurred in by three others, and is in
part as follows:
The order o f the appellate division should be affirmed, on the ground
that the facts found do not support the judgment of the special term.
In the discussion o f that proposition, I shall assume that certain prin­
ciples o f law laid down in the opinion o f Judge Vann are correct,
namely: “ It is not the duty o f one man to work for another unless
he has agreed to, and if he has so agreed, but for no fixed period,
either may end the contract whenever he chooses. The one may work
or refuse to work at will, and the other may hire or discharge at will.
The terms o f employment are subject to mutual agreement, without
let or hindrance from anyone. I f the terms do not suit, or the
employer does not please, the right to quit is absolute, and no one
may demand a reason therefor. Whatever one man may do alone, he
may do in combination with others, provided they have no unlawful
object in view. Mere numbers do not ordinarily affect the quality o f
the act. Workingmen have the right to organize for the purpose of
securing higher wages, shorter hours o f labor, or improving their
relations with their employers. They have the right to strike (that is,
to cease working in a body by prearrangement until a grievance is
redressed), provided the object is not to gratify malice or inflict injury
upon others, but to secure better terms o f employment for them­
selves. A peaceable and orderly strike, not to harm others, but to
improve their own condition, is not in violation of law.” Stated in
other words, the propositions quoted recognize the right o f one man
to refuse to work for another on any ground that he may regard as
sufficient, and the employer has no right to demand a reason for it.
But there is, I take it, no legal objection to the employee’s giving a
reason, if he has one, and the fact that the reason given is that he
refuses to work with another who is not a member o f his organization,

whether stated to his employer or not, does not affect his right to stop,
work; nor does it give a cause o f action to the workman to whom he
objects, because the employer sees fit to discharge the man objected
to, rather than lose the services of the objector. The same rule
applies to a body o f men, who, having organized, fo r purposes deemed
beneficial to themselves, refuse to work. Their reasons may seem
inadequate to others, but, if it seems to be in their interest as members
of an organization to refuse longer to work, it is their legal right to
stop. The reason may no more be demanded, as a right, of the organ­
ization than o f an individual; but, if they elect to state the reason,
their right to stop work is not cut off because the reason seems inade­
quate or selfish to the employer or to organized society. And if the
conduct o f the members o f an organization is legal in itself, it does
not become illegal because the organization directs one of its mem­
bers to state the reason fo r its conduct.
The object o f such an organization is to benefit all its members, and it
is their right to strike, if need be, in order to secure any lawful benefit
to the several members o f the organization,— as, for instance, to secure
the reemployment o f a member they regard as having been improp­
erly discharged, and to secure from an employer o f a number of them
employment fo r other members o f their organization who may be out
o f employment, although the effect will be to cause the discharge o f other
employees who are not members. And whenever the courts can see
that a refusal o f members o f an organization to work with nonmem­
bers may be in the interest o f the several members, it [they] will not
assume, in the absence o f a finding to the contrary, that the object o f
such refusal was solely to gratify malice, and to inflict injury upon
such nonmembers. A number o f reasons fo r the action o f the organi­
zation will at once suggest themselves in a case like this. One reason
apparent from the findings in this case, as I shall show later, is the
desire o f the organization that its own members may do the work the
nonmembers are performing. And another most important reason is
suggested by the fact that these particular organizations, associations
o f steam fitters, required every applicant for membership to pass an
examination testing his competency. Now, one o f the objections
sometimes urged against labor organizations is that unskillful work­
men receive as large compensation as those thoroughly competent.
The examination required by the defendant associations tends to do
away with the force o f that objection as to them. And again, their
restriction o f membership to those who have stood a prescribed test
must have the effect o f securing careful as well as skillful associates
in their work, and that is a matter o f no small importance, in view o f
the state o f the law, which absolves the master from liability for inju­
ries sustained by a workman through the carelessness o f a coemployee.
I know it is said in another opinion in this case that “ workmen can not
dictate to employers how they shall carry on their business, nor whom
they shall or shall not em ploy;” but I dissent absolutely from that propo­
sition, and I assert that, so long as workmen must assume all the risk
o f injury that may come to them through the carelessness of, coem­
ployees, they have the moral and legal right to say that they will not
work with certain men, and the employer must accept their dictation
or g o without their services.




DECISIONS OF COURTS AFFFOTlKG- tABOR.

Il2 l

A fter reviewing the facts as found by the trial judge (see above),
Judge Parker said:
Now there is not a fact stated in that finding which is not lawful,
within the rules which I have quoted supra. Those principles concede
the right o f an association to strike in order to benefit its members;
and one method o f benefiting them is to secure them employment,— a
method conceded to be within the right o f an organization to employ.
There is no pretense that the defendant associations or their walking
delegates had any other motive than one which the law justifies,— of
attempting to benefit their members by securing their employment.
It is only where the sole purpose is to do injury to another, or the act
is prompted by malice, that it is insisted that the act becomes illegal.
No such motive is alleged in that finding.
Judge Parker then reverted to the use o f the word “ threats” in the
finding o f the trial judge, and after saying that what was so named was
a “ simple notification o f their determination” to strike, he continued:
But the sense in which the word was employed by the court is o f no
consequence, fo r the defendant associations had the absolute right to
threaten to do that which they had the right to do. Having the right
to insist that plaintiff’s men be discharged, and defendant’s men put
in their place, if the services o f the other members of the organi­
zation were to be retained, they also had the right to threaten that
none o f their men would stay unless their members could have all the
work there was to do.
As to the finding that “ Gumming threatened to cause a general
strike against the plaintiff association and against the plaintiff McQueed
wherever he found them at work, and that he would not allow them
to work at any job in the city o f New Y ork, except some small jobs
where the men o f the Enterprise Association were not employed, and
that he and defendant Nugent threatened to drive the plaintiff asso­
ciation out o f existence,” the court states that:
It will be found that it fairly means no more than that the defend­
ant associations did not purpose to allow McQueed and the members o f
his association to work upon any jobs where members o f defendant
association were employed; that they were perfectly willing to allow
them to have small jobs, fitted, perhaps, for men who were willing to
work for small wages, but that the larger jobs, where they could afford
to pay and would pay the rate o f wages demanded by defendant asso­
ciations, they intended to secure for their members alone,— a determi­
nation to which they had a perfect right to come, as is conceded by the
rules which I have quoted. Having reached that conclusion, defend­
ants notified McQueed, who had organized an association when he
failed to pass the defendant’s examination, that they would prevent him
and the men o f his association from working on a certain class of jobs.
They did not threaten to employ any illegal method to accomplish that
result.
Judge Yann, who prepared the minority opinion, which was con­
curred in by two other judges, first rehearsed the findings o f fact as




1122

BULLETIN 0E THE DEPARTMENT OP LABOR.

already given and laid down certain general principles o f law, which
were quoted in part by Chief Justice Parker (page 1119, supra). After
stating, as there quoted, that “ a peaceable and orderly strike, not to
harm others, but to improve their own condition, is not*in violation
o f law,” Judge Vann continued:
They have the right to go further, and to solicit and persuade others,
who do not belong to their organization, and are employed for no fixed
period, to quit work, also, unless the common employer o f all assents
to lawful conditions, designed to improve their material welfare.
They have no right, however, through the exercise o f coercion, to
prevent others from working. When persuasion ends, and pressure
begins, the law is violated; for that is a trespass upon the rights of
others, and is expressly forbidden by statute. (Penal Code, sec. 168.)
They have no right, by force, threats, or intimidation, to prevent
members o f another labor organization from working, or a contractor
from hiring them or continuing them in his employment. They may
not threaten to cripple his business unless he will discharge them, for
that infringes upon liberty o f action, and violates the right which
every man has to conduct his business as he sees fit, or to work for
whom and on what terms he pleases. Their labor is their property,
to do with as they choose; but the labor o f others is their property, in
turn, and is entitled to protection against wrongful interference. The
defendant associations made their own rules and regulations, and the
plaintiff corporation did the same. Neither was entitled to any exclu­
sive privilege, but both had equal rights according to law. Public
policy requires that the wages o f labor should be regulated by the
law o f competition and o f supply and demand, the same as the sale of
food or clothing. A ny combination to restrain “ the free pursuit in
this State o f any lawful business,” in order “ to create or maintain a
m onopoly,” is expressly prohibited by statute, and an injunction is
authorized to prevent it.
A combination o f workmen to secure a lawful benefit to themselves
should be distinguished from one to injure other workmen in their
trade. Here we have a conspiracy to injure the plaintiffs in their
business, as distinguished from a legitimate advancement of the
defendant’s own interests. W hile they had the right by fair persua­
sion to get the work o f the plaintiff McQueed, for instance, they had
no right, either by force or by threats, to prevent him from getting
any work whatever, or to deprive him o f the right to earn his living
by plying his trade. B y threatening to call a general strike o f the
related trades, the defendants forced the contractor to discharge com­
petent workmen who wanted to work for him, and whom he wished to
keep in his employment. They conspired to do harm to the contractor
in order to compel him to do harm to the plaintiffs, and their acts in
execution o f the conspiracy caused substantial damage to the mem­
bers o f the plaintiff corporation. While no physical force was
used, the practical effect was that members o f one labor organization
drove the members o f another labor organization out o f business, and
deprived them o f the right to labor at their chosen vocation. The
object was evil, for it was not to compete for employment by fair
means, but to exclude rivals from employment altogether by unfair
means. The law gives all men an equal chance to live by their own



DECISIONS OF COURTS AFFECTING LABOR.

1123

labor, and does not permit one labor union to seize all the chances, by
compelling employers to refuse employment to the members o f all
other unions. The plaintiffs do not ask for protection against compe­
tition, but from “ malicious and oppressive interference” with their
right to work at their trade.
Judge Vann then recounted evidence given by employers during the
trial as to the insistence o f the defendants on the discharge of the
plaintiffs, the methods used to procure compliance with their demands
and to the effect that the men discharged “ were good workmen, that
their work was satisfactory, and that there was no reason for dis­
charging them, other than the threats made.” Continuing, he said:
It may be argued that the employers were not obliged to yield to
these threats, and this is true; but noncompliance meant ruin to them,
for their work would be completely tied up and their business para­
lyzed. A threat, with ruin behind it, may be as coercive as physical
force. W hen an association is so strong and its discipline so perfect
that its orders to strike are equivalent to the commands of an absolute
monarch, the effect is the same as the use o f physical force. (1 Tied.
Cont. Prs. and P rop., p. 433; Erie, Trade Unions, 12,105.) The pur­
poses o f the defendants, as well as the methods pursued by them, were
unlawful, and authorized the injunction granted by the trial court in
order to prevent irreparable injury and a multiplicity of suits. This
was conceded in Reynolds v. Everett, 144 N. Y. 189, 39 N. E. 72,
and demonstrated in Davis v. Zimmerman, 91 Hun. 489, 36 N. Y.
Supp. 303. The fact that a lawful strike inflicts injury upon the
employer is not controlling. As was said by a recent writer upon the
subject: “ The courts recognize the right o f workingmen to combine
together for the purpose o f bettering their condition, and, in endeavor­
ing to attain their object, they may inflict more or less inconvenience
and damages upon the employer; but a threat to strike unless their
wages are advanced is something very different from a threat to strike
unless workmen who are not members o f the combination are dis­
charged. W hile it may be argued that indirectly the discharge
o f the nonunion employee will strengthen and benefit the union, and
thereby indirectly benefit the union workmen, the benefit to the mem­
bers o f the combination is so remote, as compared to the direct and
immediate injury inflicted upon the nonunion workmen, that the law
does not look beyond the immediate loss and damage to the innocent
parties, to the remote benefits that might result to the union.” (1
Eddy, Combns., 416.)
The conclusions I have announced are supported by the weight of
authority in this country and in England. The leading case in this
State is controlling in principle, and requires a reversal of the order
appealed from. (Curran v. Galen, 152 N. Y . 33, 46 N. E. 297.) [See
Bulletin No. 11, U. S. Department of Labor, page 529.]
The facts in this case were next reviewed, which are in brief that
Curran had refused to join a branch o f the Knights of Labor, and had
been dismissed from service by his employers in pursuance o f an
agreement that they should employ none but members o f said organi­
zation. Curran complained o f “ malicious and false reports” prevent­




1124

BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

ing his employment. The defense was that all that was done was
solely in pursuance o f the agreement referred to, and in accordance
with the terms thereof, and without intent or purpose to injure the
plaintiff in any way. This answer was held insufficient by both the
trial court and the supreme court o f the State, and Curi’an obtained
judgment. Judge Gray, in his memorandum concurring with the
opinion prepared by Chief Justice Parker, distinguished between the
present case and the case o f Curran v. Galen, holding that in the latter
case malice was an element, while in the case in hand none appears.
A fter presenting the above facts Judge Yann said:
A ll the judges who sat in this court united with Judge Gray [in the
case Curran v. Galen] in saying that: “ Public policy and the interests
o f society favor the utmost freedom in the citizen to pursue his lawful
trade or calling, and if the purpose o f an organization or combination
o f workingmen be to hamper or to restrict that freedom, and, through
contracts or arrangements with employers, to coerce other workingmen
to become members o f the organization, and to come under its rules
and conditions, under the penalty o f the loss o f their position and o f
deprivation o f employment, then that purpose seems clearly unlawful.”
Quotations were made from recent English opinions, and a large
number o f cases were cited in support o f the views set forth.
Judge Vann then concluded:
I think that the action o f the defendants was unlawful and was
properly restrained, but the injunction, in the form granted, is too
broad and requires modification. It prevents the defendants “ from
coercing or obtaining by command, threats, strikes, or otherwise, the
dismissal or discharge by any employer, contractor, or owner, of
the members o f the plaintiff corporation,” etc. This might prevent
fair persuasion or solicitation, which the defendants may resort to.
The order o f the appellate division, so far as appealed from, should
be reversed, and the judgment o f the special term modified by strik­
ing out the words “ or otherwise” therefrom, and, as modified, affirmed,
with costs to the appellants in all courts.

Central R ailroad Company v. Gheen, Court o f A ppeals o f Kentucky,
66 Southwestern R eporter, page 639.— T. W . Gheen sued in the circuit
court o f Livingston County to recover damages from the above-named
company for its refusal to admit him into a hospital. This hospital was
under the supervision and control o f the railroad company, and each
employee on a certain division who worked as much as four days in a
month was required to contribute toward its support, the amount of
such contribution being withheld by the company’s paymaster and by
him turned into the hospital fund.




DECISION'S OF COURTS AFFECTING LABOR.

1125

W hile in the employ o f the company, Gheen’s hand was injured and
he made application to his foreman for a certificate entitling him to
admission into the hospital, there to receive surgical treatment, board,
etc., as well as to receive transportation from the place o f his employ­
ment to the city o f Paducah in which the hospital was located. This
was denied, and Gheen was treated by the local surgeon o f the com­
pany, but not in such wise as to prevent the amputation o f three o f
his fingers, which he claimed could have been prevented by prompt
admission to the hospital. The trial resulted in a verdict fo r the
plaintiff from which the company appealed, obtaining a reversal o f
the judgment o f the court below with directions for a new trial.
The railroad company denied all responsibility for the hospital
management or liabilities, and also denied that Gheen was entitled to
admission, or that he was injured or damaged by being refused admis­
sion earlier than he was. Gheen claimed nothing for the original
injury, but only fo r the increased injury resulting from the delay o f
the company in allowing him to enter the hospital, into which he was
finally admitted and in which his fingers were amputated.
As to the liability o f the railroad company for the management of
the hospital, the court, after reciting the facts as to control and sup­
port given above, said:
W e are o f opinion that these facts, proven without serious, if any,
contradiction, would have authorized the court to instruct the jury
peremptorily that, if appellee had been engaged more than four days,
he was entitled to admission into the hospital, and if he was refused
permission to enter, or certificate entitling him to transportation and
entrance to the hospital, and was injured by such refusal, he was
entitled to recover.
The instruction o f the lower court as to measure of damages was in
part as follows:
The court says to the jury if, under the evidence and instructions,
they find for plaintiff, they will find only such damages as will com­
pensate him fo r the excess o f pain and suffering, if any, that he
endured over that which he would have endured if he had been
treated in the hospital, and for the loss o f his fingers and power to earn
money, and mental and physical suffering by reason thereof, provided
the jury believe from the evidence that his fingers could and would
have been saved if he had been permitted to enter said hospital when
he first applied for admission.
This instruction was excepted to by the appellant company, which
exception was sustained by the court o f appeals. The court said:
The general and universal rule o f law in regard to damages is that
every person must do all that can reasonably be done to render the
damage fo r any act or omission as light as possible. Under this rule,
the appellee, when he was refused admission to the hospital, if such




1126

be the case, was bound to do all that he could to keep the consequent
injury and damage as light as possible. To do so, he should have
employed medical and surgical attention to cure his hand, or, at least,
to arrest other and further injury. F or such services and attention,
or the cost thereof, the appellant, if liable at all, would be required
to pay. Appellee was entitled, if at all, to the skilled surgical atten­
tion he would have received at the hospital o f appellant, including
board, transportation, and such accommodations and charges as the
hospital would furnish its patients. I f appellant refused to furnish
such, and was bound to do so, the appellee could and should have
sought such attention elsewhere, and fo r the reasonable cost thereof
appellant would be liable. The science o f medicine and surgery has
not so far advanced that it could be said as a certain fact that if appel­
lee had been admitted into the hospital, and had received the very best
attention there to be had, he would not have suffered pain and mental
anxiety, and that surely he would not have lost his fingers. By the
establishment o f the hospital, the appellant did not assume or under­
take to cure disease, or in all cases relieve from injuries. The under­
taking was to furnish medical and surgical attention, and to nurse and
care for the patient who is admitted therein. I f appellant be liable
under the proof, its liability is for failure to furnish these things, and
the damage fo r such failure is the reasonable cost at which such care
and attention, board, and medical and surgical skill could have been
obtained, as well as cost o f transportation to the nearest suitable place
where such attention could be had.

Section

.

1 There shall be and is hereby created, a commission to be composed of

two electors of the State, which shall be designated the labor commission, and which
shall be charged with the duties and vested with the powers hereinafter enumerated.
S ec . 2. The members of said commission shall be appointed b y the governor, by
and with advice and consent of the senate; and shall hold office for two years and
until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified. One of said com­
missioners shall have been, for not less than six (6) years of his life, an employee, for
wages, in some department of industry, in which it is usual to employ a number of
persons, under single direction and control, and shall be, at the time of his appoint­
ment, affiliated with the labor interest as distinguished from the capitalist or
employing interest.
The other of said commissioners shall have been, for not less than six years, an
employer of labor, for wages, in some department of industry in which it is usual to
employ a number of persons, under single direction and control, and shall be, at the
time of his appointment, affiliated with the employing interest, as distinguished from
the labor interest. Neither of said commissioners shall be less than twenty-five
years of age, and they shall not be members of the same political party. A political
party under the meaning of this section, should be held to mean one or more parties
supporting one ticket or member of a fusion; neither of them shall hold any other
State, county or city office in Idaho, during the term of office for which they shall
be appointed.
Each of said commissioners shall take and subscribe an oath, to be endorsed upon
his commission, to the effect that he will punctually, honestly and faithfully discharge
his duties as such commissioner.
S ec. 3. Such commission shall have a seal and shall not be required to leave their
personal labor or business, except to perform the duties devolving upon them as
members of the labor commission.
W hen necessary, they may appoint a secretary, who shall be a skillful stenographer
and typewriter, and wno shall receive a salary of four dollars per day and traveling
expenses for every day spent in the discharge of duty under the direction of the
commission.
Sec. 4. It shall be the duty of said commissioners, upon receiving authentic infor­
mation, in any manner, of the existence of any strike, lockout, or other labor com ­
plication in this State, effecting [affecting] the labor or employment of fifty persons
or more, to go to the place where such complication exists, put themselves into com­
munication wTith the parties to the controversy, and offer them [their] services as
mediators between them: P rovid ed , That in all cases where less than fifty persons
are on strike or lockout, the commission may, in their discretion, act as though such
number of strikers consisted of fifty or more persons. If they shall not succeed in
effecting an amicable adjustment of the controversy in that way, they shall endeavor
to induce the parties to submit their differences to arbitration, either under the pro­
visions of this act or otherwise as they may elect.
Sec. 5. For the purpose of arbitration, under this act, the labor commissioners and
the judge of the district court of the district in w hich the business in relation to
which the controversy shall arise, shall have been carried on, shall constitute a
board of arbitrators, to which shall be added, if the parties so agree, two other mem­
bers, one to be named by the employer, and the other by the employees in the arbi­
tration agreement. If the parties to the controversy are a railroad company, and
the employees of the company engaged in the running of trains, any terminal within
this State, of the road, or any division thereof, may be taken and treated as the loca­
tion of the business within the terms of this section, for the purpose of giving jurisdic­
tion to the judge of the district court, to act as a member of the board of arbitration.

Sec. 6. An agreement to enter into arbitration under this act, shall be in writing
and shall state the issue to be submitted and decided, and shall have the effect of an
agreement, by the parties, to abide by, and perform the award.
Such an agreement may be signed by the employer, as an individual firm, or cor­
poration, as the case may be, and execution o f the agreement, in the name of the
employer, by any agent or representative of such employer, then and therefore in
control or management of the business or department of business, in relation to
which the controversy shall have arisen, shall bind the employer. On the part of
the employees the agreement may be signed by them, in their own person, not less
than two-thirds of those concerned in the controversy, signing, or it may be signed
by a committee, by them appointed. Such committee may be created by election
at a meeting of the employees concerned in the controversy, at which not less than
two-thirds of such employees shall be present, which election, and the fact of the
presence of the required number of employees at the meeting, shall be evidenced by
the affidavit of the chairman and secretary of such meeting, attached to the arbitra­
tion agreement. If the employees, concerned in the controversy, or any of them
shall be members of any labor union or working men’ s society, they may be repre­
sented in the execution of said arbitration agreement by officers or committeemen of
the union or society designated by it, in any manner conformable to its usual
methods of transacting business, and others of the employees, represented by com­
mittee as hereinbefore provided.
Sec. 7. If upon any occasion calling for the presence and intervention of the labor
commissioners, under this act, one of said commissioners shall be present and the
other absent, the judge of the district court of the district in which the dispute shall
have arisen, as defined in section 5, shall upon the application of the commissioners
present, appoint a commissioner pro tern., in the place of the absent commissioner
and such commissioner pro tern, shall exercise all the powers of a commissioner
under this act, until the termination of the duties of the commission with respect to
the particular controversy, upon the occasion of which the appointment shall have
been made, and shall receive the same pay and allowances provided by this act, for
the other commissioners. Such commissioner pro tern, shall represent and be affili­
ated with the same interests as the absent commissioner.
Sec. 8. Before entering upon their duties, the arbitrators shall take and subscribe
an oath or affirmation to the effect that they w ill honestly and impartially perform
their duties as arbitrators, and a just and fair award render, to the best of their abil­
ity. The sitting of the arbitrators shall be in the court room of the district court or
such other place as shall be provided by the county commissioners, of the county in
which the hearing is had. The district judge shall be the presiding member of the
board. He shall have power to issue subpoenas for witnesses who do not appear
voluntarily, directed to the sheriff of the county, whose duty it shall be to serve the
same, without delay. H e shall have power to administer oaths and affirmations to
witnesses, enforce order, and direct and control the examinations.
The proceedings shall be informal in character, but in general accordance with the
practice governing the district courts in the trial of civil cases. All questions of prac­
tice, or questions relating to the admission of evidence, shall be decided b y the pre­
siding member of the board summarily and without extended argument. The sittings
shall be open and public. If five members are sitting as such board, three members
of the board, agreeing, shall have power to make an award, otherwise two. The sec­
retary of the commission shall attend the sitting and make a record of the proceed­

tions presented and make such order or orders, directed to the parties before him, in
personam, as shall give just effect to the award. Disobedience by any party to such

except in case of willful disobedience. In all proceedings under this section, the
award shall be regarded as presumptively binding upon the employer and all employ­
ees w ho were parties to the controversy submitted to arbitration, wThich presumption
shall be overcome only by proof of dissent from the submission delivered to the arbi­
trators, or one of them, in writing, before the commencement of the hearing.
Sec. 11. The labor commission with the advice and assistance of the attorney gen­
eral of the State, which he is hereby required to render, may make rules and regulations
respecting proceedings in arbitration, under this act, not inconsistent with this act,
or the law, including forms, and cause the same to be printed and furnished to all
persons applying therefor, and all arbitration proceedings under this act shall there­
after conform to such rules and regulations.
Sec. 12. Any employer and his employees, not less than twenty-five in number,

their differences, and upon the execution of an arbitration agreement, as herein­
before provided, a board of arbitrators shall be organized in the manner hereinbefore
provided, and the arbitration shall take place and the award be rendered, recorded
and enforced, in the same manner as in arbitrations under the provisions found
in the preceding sections of this act.
Sec. 13. In all cases arising under this act, requiring the attendance of a judge of
the district court as a member of the arbitration board, such duty shall have prece­
dence over any other business pending in his court, and if necessary for prompt
transaction of such other business, it shall be his duty to appoint the district judge
of an adjoining district to sit in the district court in his place during the pendency
of such arbitration, and such appointee shall receive the same compensation for his
services as is now allowed by law to judges appointed to sit in case of change of judge
in civil actions. In case the judge of the district court, whose duty it shall become
under this act, to sit upon any board of arbitrators, shall be at the time actually
engaged in a trial which can not be interrupted without loss and injury to the parties,
ana which will, in his opinion, continue for more than three days to come, or is dis­
abled from acting by sickness or otherwise, it shall be the duty of such judge to call
in and appoint the district judge of an adjoining district, to sit upon such board of
arbitrators, and such appointed judge shall have the same power and perform the
same duties as member of the board of arbitration as are by this act vested in and
charged upon the district judge regularly sitting, and he shall receive the same com­
pensation, now provided by law, to a judge sitting by appointment, upon a change
of judge in civil cases, to be paid in the same way.
Sec. 14. If the parties to any such labor controversy as is defined in section 4 of
this act, shall have failed at the end of five days, after the first communication of
said labor commission to them, to adjust their differences amicably, or to agree to
submit the same to arbitration, it shall be the duty of the labor commission to pro­
ceed at once to investigate the facts attending the disagreement.
In this investigation, the commission shall be entitled, upon request, to the pres­
ence and assistance of the attorney general of the State, in person or by deputy,
whose duty it is hereby made to attend, without delay, upon request, by letter or
telegram, from the commission. For the purpose of such investigation, the com­
missioners shall have power to issue subpoenas and each of the commissioners shall
have power to administer oaths and affirmations. Such subpoena shall be under seal
of the commission, and signed by the secretary of the commission, or a member of
it, and shall command the attendance of the person or persons named in it, at a time
and place named, which subpoena may be served and returned as other process by
any sheriff or constable in the State.
In case of disobedience of any such subpoena or the refusal of any witness to
testify, the district court having jurisdiction or the judge thereof, during vacation,
shall, upon the application of the labor commission, grant a rule against the dis­
obeying person or persons or the person refusing to testify, to show cause, forth­
with w hy he or they should not obey such subpoena or testify as required by the
commission, or be adjudged guilty of contempt, and in such proceedings, such
court, or the judge thereof, in vacation, shall be empowered to compel obedience to
such subpoena, as in the case of subpoena issued under the order of and by the
authority of the court, or to compel a witness to testify as witnesses in court are
compelled to testify. But no person shall be required to attend as a witness, at any
place outside the county of his residence. Witnesses called by the labor commis­
sion, under this section, shall be paid $2 per diem fees out of the expense fund pro­
vided by this act, if such payment is claimed at the time of their examination.
