LINCOLN, Feb. 4. (SpccIaD-Qovemor
Morchcnd listened to complaints today
mode by Omaha people against X.abor
Commissioner Tool, alleging failure of
the latter to enforce tho law regarding
the employment of female labor In cer
tain Institutions In Omaha.
Thoeo appearing against Mr. Pool were
W. A. Chrlsman, John Pollan and Attor
ney William Lynch. Mrs. Jessamine
Johnson, a former appointee, of Sir. Pool
as deputy, also appeared In the contro
versy. The complainants said that frequent
complaints had been made to Commis
sioner Pool of violations of tho law which
had received little or no recognition.
Mr. Pool said that ho had received
vague and indefinite complaints, some of
them of an anonymous character, and
lacked specific Information.
Mr. Lynch produced a list of places
which ho claimed had been tipped off to
the labor commissioner and asked Mt,
Pool It those, places had not been brought
to his notice. Mr. Pool said he would
have to refer to his office records before
ttho could answer.
Mrs. Johnson said that she had reported
places to Mr. Pool which were violating
tho law and ho promised to get after
them, but did not seem to Eet action.
One of tho witnesses said that It had
been reported to him that Mr. oPol had
said that he desired to get through his
term without making any political en
emies. Tho governor expressed the opinion that
Mr. Pool had not been very diligent ami
had not consulted nlm regarding mat
ters which he thought should have been
brought to his notice. However, before
taking action, he would look Into tho
matter personally, going to Omaha in a
few days to look up tho places of which
number fifteen or twenty were left with
him as worthy of investigation. Ho hopes
to be nble to tako nction on tho com
plaint In about ten days.
