railroad company to furnish him with all
the cars he needed Rrcatly datmged his
buHncra nd made It nccesnry for him to
haul his grain to another railroad. HP

LINCOLN , Jan. 20 ( Special ) Deputy
Labor Commissioner Kent Ins prepared for
the Paris exposition the following statement
relative to the work of the Nebraska State
Bureau of Labor
"Tho Htireau of Labor and Industrial Sta
tistics was created In 1SS7 , following the
agitation of the labor unions and the
Knights ot Labor for departments In the
state and national government that should
Inquire Into the relation of capital and
labor , the wages paid , the hours worked
etc , together with the gathering of such
facts as would show the moral , educational
and ph ) steal conditions of the Industrial
classes
"The bureau was designed primarily to
give facts pertaining to enpltal and labor ,
wages , etc , but necessity had broadened Its
work and made It u department of general
Information , and It Is expected to answer
questions connected with every phase of In
dustrial nctlvlt ) . At the present time , In
addition to the gathering of wage statis
tics , the Inspection of factories. In the en
forcement of Hbor laws and the law relating
to lire escapes , the bureau compiles crop
statistics , mortgage Indebtedness , social ,
manufacturing and miscellaneous statistics
and operated a free emplomcnt bureau.
Sc\eral Cniiil ! . 13iinct Ml.
"Since the foundation of the bureau sev
eral very valuable laws advocated by the
department have been passed and while their
passage cannot be credited entirely to Us
work , still the bureau was a prominent
factor In their consummation. I refer to
the antl-PinUerton law. designed to pre
vent the imrortatlon of armed men by cor-
poiatlous in case of strike * the Australian
ballot law , now pretty generally accepted
throughout the United States , the free text
book livv , a boon Indeed to the poor man
laving children going to hchool. the recent
passage of the child labor law , providing
that'no child under the age of 11 years
shall work who has not had five months'
schooling in the ) ear , the law limiting the
emplojment of females to ten hours per
day , as well as the law providing that rail
way engineers shall not work more than
eighteen consecutive hours , and the law for
fire escapes , nil of which follow out the
recommendations made by the various com-
mlssloncrb In their several reports. The ad
vocacy of the bureau of manual training
or technical training In school has prob
ably done much to aid Its growth and sub
sequent adoption by hoveral of the Institu
tions of the fctate and Us present rapid
growth In the minds of the teachers and
public.
"Somo little progress has been made In
the matter of a shorter workday , several
fit the large cities of the state have adopted
the eight-hour sstem It is the rule In
the building trades in Omaha and South
Omaha , as , well as in the shops of the Union
Pacific railroad.
I'cw 1'iieiii'ilojiMl nt Present.
"Wages do not differ radically from what
they were ten or twelve ) eire ago. Com
parative few wageworkers own their own
homes. From 1893 to 1897 there were many
men unemplocd owing to the panic. At
present there nro very few unemployed , and
the condition of the teller Is much im
proved. Railroad labor Is the best paid of
any In the state , ranging from $1.25 per da )
for trackmen up to as high as $3 for engine-
men.
"In the building trades wages run from
$1 50 per day for laborers to $1 50 for brick-
la ) ers
"In the mercantile establishments wages
range from $1 per week for small cash boys
and girls to $25 per week for expert clerks
or salesmen , although the majority of clerks
or salesmen will not average ? 10 per week.
(
"Wages of domestics range from $1 ! iO
per week up to $5 , with an average of about
$3 per week
"Farm laborers receive an average wage
of about $15 per month
"Tho working force of the bureau of labor
Is the deputy commissioner at a salary ot
$1,500 per ) ear , a chief cleik at a salary
of $1,000 per ) ear and a , stenographer at a
salary of $500 per year The appropriation
for earning on the work during the second
blennium WTS $2 , ( .00 , reaching Its lowest
point during the biennlum of 1897 and 1808 ,
when it was $058 The last legislature In
creased the amount to $2,000 , an amount not
nearly sufficient to meet the needs of the
ofllce "

advibod fiovernor Hradley to call out the

Ing but bid urtcd ! him to take every pre

ho leplled that It Ind awed none hut the
lawlesf elements of both parties. It was not
. the better class of men In either elcrnocratl1 :
'or ' the republican parties who would have
ercited trouble , but the vicious elements of
both parties who would have precipitated
tioublo , and it was these whom the mlll-
j tary held In subjection by the mcro knowledge -

trouble with the lawless elements , ho de
clared It to be his opinion that the police of
the cit ) of Loulbvlllo would have led that
