COV. BLEASE WILL ENFORCE MILL ACTS SAYS HE WILL ENGAGE INSPEC TORS HIMSELF. Chief Executive Will. Ignore Stric tures by Columbia Federation of Trades. 'It doesn't follow, because I vetoed the appropriation for the salaries of Watson's two factory inspectors, that I intend the factory inspection law to go unenforced," said Gov. Bfease Saturday. "I have a fund of $5,000 for law enforcement, and I mean to 'work for the enforcement of all the laws, including those relating to la bor. "Out of my $5,000 appropriation I propose to see that the work hereto fore done by Col. Watson's factory in spectors is done by men commission ed by myself. I shall look also after the enforcement of the regulations relative 'to hours of labor in stores, etc." No Reply to Federation. Gov. Blease said he had no idea of replying to strictures on his course by the Columbia Trades Federation. "Nothing that a walking delegate may say," he declared, "can convince the factory people that I am not their friend. They know I am their friend -have always been their friend." The Law. Section 855 of the new code, volume 1, says: "The commissioner (of agri culture, commerce and industries) may employ two inspectors, who shall be appointed by the commissioner, at a salary of $1,000 each per annum and necessary traveling expenses, not to exceed $500 each in any one year, to assist him in the discharge of the du ties imposed by this article, from and including section 84. to the end of this article. The inspectoms shall be under the supervision and control of the commissioner." The'sections referred to are those 'which charge the commissioner with the duty of compiling accurate statis * tics of labor and manufactures, in specting manufacturirg plants, stores, etc., to see that the laws as to sani tation, hours of labor, shielding of dangerous machinery, etc., are carried out and that children are not worked contrary to law. All the inspectors' reports are to be made to the com mnission'er. The item in the appropriation bill *carrying $1,000 salary and $500 ex penses for each of these two inspec tors, for 1911 ( was objected to by Gov. Blease in his veto message and the general assembly failed to overrule the veto, so that the item was strick en out.] COy.

Xondell and Wickersham Near Point of P'hysical Violence-Short and Ugly Word Used. Washington, Feb. 23.--Another bloodless battle was fought on the 'door of the house of representatives. .t czame during a somewhat heated dehate on a bill for the leasing 0f coal lands in Alaska. The lie was passed and as the short and ugly word rang out James Wickersham delegate fromn Alaska, made a rusi for Representative Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, who was seated at nearby desk. The big Alaskan's right arm sho out twice in the direction of "the gen tIleman from Wyoming" but member who separated the disputants at th time say that both blows fell short. Delegate Real Mad. The house was in an uproar in a: instant. Several members hurle hemselve anMr Wickersham; oth ers were struggling with Mr. Mon dell, who had gained his feet and was making for his assailant. Repre sentative Foster, of Vermont, had tak en Mr. Wickersham by the throat. This added to the uncontrolled anger of the delegate and for a moment dI verted his attack towards the would be peacemaker. Representative Sis sion, of Mississippi, was first to reach Mr. Mondell, who was endeavoring to raise the chair in which he had been sitting, to hurl it at his antagonist. Crowd Soon Gathered. Members rushed toward the group from every part of the chamber and soon there were nearly 100 men in the crowd about the still struggling legislators. Meantime Representative Olmstead, of Pennsylvania, who was acting as speaker, was madly belaboring his desk with the gavel and calling upon the sergeant-at-arms to preserve or der. The historic mace of the house, the emblem of authority, was lifted from its marble pedestal and carried to the floor of the house. Members had taken the matter in hand and had succeeded in bringing both Mr. Wickersham and Mr. Mondell to a cessation of hostilities. When the house was fairly quiet Mr. Wickersham clamored for recog nition. Was Called a Liar. "I want the record to show that I apologize to the house, but," his voice rose to a shout, "I also want it to show that I was called a liar." Representative Tawney, of Minne sota, demanded that the entire col loquy be reported by the stenograph er from the speaker's 'desk. The stenographer stated that he overheard Mr. Mondell, who was seated at the time, say: "He is a liar." Mr. Wickersham also had heard. "If you say that, you are a liar,' he, had shouted and in another instant had rushed at Mr. Mondell. A chair between the two members' had ob structel the collision. The shout of "liar" was the first the house had heard. Mr. Mondell's utterance had been made in an undertone. Most Unparliamentary. "Representative Tawney calId at tention to the fact that th, 1an.guago used by the disputanlts \vas clearly unparliamentary and that there should be an apology. "I do apologize." said Mr. Wicker sham, "I lost my temper." He sat down. "I think the apology should b-e broader," interjected Representative Keifer, of Ohio. '~I make my apology as broad as any gentleman in the house wants it," said Mr. Wickersham, "and that is all I have to say." Merelf a Mistake. Mr. Mondell then arose. I uttered no such statement as has 'been report ed in debate," 'he said. "I turned to the gentleman from South Dakota, who was sta-ading at my desk and said: "'He must be a liar.'". Mr. Mondell said his reference was due to the fact that nothing in the record showed any coal claims in Alaska, outside of the Cunningham group, to bue gone to final entry. Mr. Wickersham had disputed this statement. "My remark was not directed to ward the gentleman from Alaska," Mr. Mondell went on, "and it wasno uttered in debate, but to a gentlenlan who stood beside me. I realize,.how ever, that I should not have used the word here, or anywhere for that mat ter, and I apologize to the house." TROLLEY LINE ACT SIGNED. Gor.
