State Labor Commissioner Criticises
Prevalence; of Child Labor.
WANTS EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTE
Attendance Officer Urpuia Eirrpts to
Strictures af State Official and' s
' EsBlalas Statu of Affairs
Locally.
State Labor Commissioner. Maupln was in
a critical humor during his talk Monday
afternoon to the social science department
of the Woman's club. . He asserted that
local officials charged with a part in tn
forcing the child labor law have not turned
in to his office the reports called for by
law, and intimated that evidence is In
possession of these officialH which would
enable him to maintain prosecutions if
put In his hands.
The meeting had been called that local
conditions might be discussed and plans
made to prevent the unlawful employment
of women and children during the holi
days. Mr. Maupin stated his chief handi
cap In starting prosecution lay tn the ex
treme difficulty of getting evidence end
he criticised the superintendents of schools,
fruant officers and inspectors under the
slate chilli labor law for not doing all that
the law specifically states as their duty.
Beginning with the superintendents of
schools, he stated that only one copy of a
certificate permitting a child under age to
work has been sent to his office, wKlle the
law requires that copies of all such certi
ficates issued shall be sent to hpn. That
the inspectors have not fulftre"8 all uelr
duty he attempted to show by announcing
that toe record of all children employed
in an establishment, which the law pro
vides shall be posted at the entrance of
such establishment, is not so posted, as a
rule. For example, he named one of the
large department stores which, instead cf
the required list, merely hooks the certi
ficates, of the children employed on a nail
near the door. This, Mr. Maupln said,
was (Jolng better than the majority do.
Oepson States Ills Position.
Attendance Officer E. D. Oepson, of the
Omaha schools, resented Mr. Maupln's as
sertions, but confessed to delinquency in
ending in copies of certificates issued to
children. He then, In the course of ex
plaining the dutlee and difficulties of his
office,, announced that he had evidence of
violation of the child labor law, but when
questioned by one of the club women ly
he did not turn It over to the labor com
missioner, replied that that was not his
business. Questluned as to his moral obli
gation in co-op rating with all authori
ties for the enforcement of the law, Mr.
Oepson said It would take time to write
the necessary lettr to inform the l.ibor
commissioner.
When the law was .bead by request of the
woman. It developed that it names the
truant officer as one of those expected to
supply such Information to the labor com
missioner. Mr. Oepson hinted at diffi
culty in getting things through the prose
cuting attorney's office, but Mr. Maupln
assured him If he would turn over what-

bers of the Board of Fire and Police com
mtssloners of Omaha appears before the
governor next Saturday to enow why they
should not be proceeded against aa derllect
officials, officers of the Douglas County
Anil-Saloon league and Elmer E. Thomas
are also supposed to be on hand to show
cause why they should bo proceeded
against.
When the citation of the mayor and Po
lice board was Issued it was taken to mean
that Elmer E. Thomas and his Anti
Saloon league had made their case and
that Saturday would be devoted to a reply
by the mayor and board. At the governor's

He rice Files. Motion.
George V. Herge, who tried to impress
the supreme court with the fact that he
had bought a gold brick when he got hold
of the Nebraska Independent, then the
property of Vrank Eager, has file
mo
tion In the supreme court to dismiss nis
appeal and to have a mundate issue to
the district court affirming the decision of
that court. In the lower tribunal Berge
was given Judgment for Borne $700. He
appealed because he thought it not enough,
and Eager appealed becouse he thought
it too much. The Eager appeal resulted In
a confirmation of the lower court.
The case grew out of the sale of the
Independent to Berge, who, at that time
was running for governor and needed a
personal organ In which to exploit his
views. Berge failed to land In the state
house and he came to the conclusion the
paper was worth several times less than
he paid for it So he brought suit for
damages.
Governor Goes a-Lectarlnsr.
Governor Shallenberger has started out
miss
on a lecture tour of Nebraska, which will
keep hira away from his office until next
Friday. He goes under the auspices of the

penses will be paid by the town In which

Lincoln Lawyer Appeal.
Lafe Burnett, a lawyer of Lincoln, has
appealed to the supreme court from the
decision of the lower court of Phelps
county, which sentenced him to Jail for
six months for unlawful conduct with Mrs.
L. A. Williams, a cllant of his, who, It was
claimed, is insane. The two were arrested
In Holdrege.
C'owles Complies Flstorea.
Land Commissioner Cowies, who had
been paying particular attention to the
various state Institutions, has prepared a
table showing the appropriation for each
institution for the blennlum for employes'
wages and for maintenance; what could
have been spent during the last eight
months without overreaching the appreci
ation apd what really was spent?
The table shows that unless there is
great retrenchment .there will be several
deficlencls when the next legislature meets.
From the figures It Is evident that Su
perintendent Lena E. Ward of the Indus
trial school at Milford carries the banner
for economy and good business manage
ment. She has used only IS per cent of
her appropriation when she might have
used 3i per cent. Her Institution la the
only one which raised enough potatoes to
supply its needs and she raLsed some to
sell.
Tho other extreme Is the Institution at
Kearney, which in eight months has got
away with 4! per cent of Its appropriation
and is howling for more.
