DES MOINES, Dec. 16.—(Special.)—State Labor Commissioner E. D. Brigham has Jjust commenced his first proceedings under the new factory inspection law for the prosecution of owners of factories who persist in refusing to comply with the re- quirements of the new law in the matter of providing safety appliances for their employgs. Under this new law the labor commissioner and his deputy have been engaged a large part of the year in fac- tory inspection. The factories of the state were found to be generally in good con- ditlon as to vemtilation and safety appli- ances, but in the matter of providing fire escapes and sanitary closets and in pro- viding blowers for emery wheels and other | means for carrying off the dust where cer- taln kinds of work is followed the factory managers have been negligent. In nearly every vity of the state factory owners have been glven notice to make changes or pro- vide certain things, and In most cases com- pliance has been readily agreed to. number of cases no attention has been paid to the law, That this matter may be tested and the rights of the commissioner made plain Mr. Brigham has just directed that suits be commenced In Waterloo inst elght firms which have failed to comply with the notices he has sent them The matter is placed in the hands of the county attorney for prosecution.

Growth of Labor Unlons. | Labor ualons are fncreasing in mumber | rapidly In lowa. The reports to the state officials of the American Federation of La- | | bor indicate that during the last six| months, since the last meeting of the fed- eration, there have been ninety-three mew unions formed in the state. These are nearly all in towns where unions had al- ready been formed, but the federation has employed T. P. Menton of Boone to go out regularly and work for mew organizations, and as a result a number of towns have been organized wheré unfons did not before exist. It 18 announced that the labor urion men are preparing to enter more largely into politics than ever Lefore, for the pur- pose of securing a number of desired laws from ' the next legislature, Insurance Matter $till Unxettled. State officials accomplished nothing today in the matter of the complaints of insur- | ance comianies against the alloged illegal | action of State Auditor Merriam and his in- | surance examiber, Max Behler, who are | sald to be exacting exorbitant fees from | insurance_companies in the east for pre- | tended examinations. The attorney general | was not in the city and could give no legal opinion as to the rights and duties of the | governor or executive council. It is agreed that no examinations have been authorized, | and if any such are made they are illegal, | but they aid not see how the council can | take any action to prevent such examina- tions if they are being made.

LARGE CROWDS WITNESS THE CONTESTS | Loeal Men Show Up Better in the Two- Men Matches, but Winning Them Counts Nothing Securing Trophy. for in A large number of bowlers of both sexes gathered at Clark’s alleys Tuesday after- noon to see the exhibition games between ithe All-American bowlers and of more than average records. The preliminary games consisted of a series between pairs of players. The Omaha players were Schneider and Beselin, while the All-Americans changed ofl. The first set was between Peterson and Wolf of the All-American and the Omaha men. The Tesult was a score of 347 for the Omaba men to 314 for the visitors. In the next game. Selbach and Vorheis were pltted against the Omaha men and the ecore stood 881 to 383 In favor of Omaha, glving the home men a total of 730, against 665 for the visitors. The individual game between Wolf of the ' All-American and Huntington of Omaha resulted in & score of 191 to 174 in tavor of Wolf. These preliminary .games have nothing to do with the scors for the prize, which was played for later in the day, but the interest of the crowd was almost as great in them as it was in the more Important event, as they then had an oppartunity to seo the work of the visitors. The men showed themselves to be strong bowlers, | ecol of head and deliberate of action. Their record in sixty-one contest serles belng perfect, not one series belng lost, and only forty-six three-men team games lost out of a total of 264, was borne out by the ap- pearance of the men in the alleys, The crowd ,was impartial, giving cheers for good playing indiscriminately, at least in the preliminary work, but when the record contest for the medal started the | people showed much interest In the work of the local players, who were Encell, Emery and Krus, against Wolf, Vorhets and Peterson | Two of the series of games were played in the afternoon and three In the evening. . Larger Crowd in Evening. In the evening the ~rowd was very much {larger than that of the afternoon, sad more enthuslasm was manifested toward | the bowlers, Omaha's team, of course, be- ing given the preference. The evening { crowd was conspicuous because of the large number of women who were present. They | proved admirable supporters of the sport and worthily championed the cause of the | local favorites. | It w & noticeable feature that the FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER i DESSERT | try JELL-0, prepared according | tollowing recipe: JELL-O S8NOW PUDDING. we of any fovor o it ot Coliing water. and sher It hds apont Naif | Bardened beai up thoroughly With aa wss bester: 8dd the white of one egs Uhoroughly Deaten and | g, the whole togsther Nal ther s wiied: pour | into cups and set in & cool place uotil Srm.

QET A PACKAGY TORAY, to the local men | work of Krug was not up to the standard of that player's bowling, as his usually large scores fell off perceptibly during the three evening games. Emory played in very poor luck, splits occurring frequently which were hard to get, but he mastered his dificulties and made most brilliant shots during the course of his evening's pla; Encell's playing was quite up to his average. For the All-American teany Voorhels at night succeeded Peterson, playing with Wolt and Selbach. The visitors showed their expertness in the game at every stage, and did not lose ome of the seri closing the tournament here without a d feat, excepting In the two-men team match, which was played immediately after the three evening games were concluded. Voorhels showed remarkable ability, and his work elicited much applause from the hundreds of spectators. Wolf gave him a close race for the honors of the day in the high averages. Selbach was content to win the highest score in one game, his total belng 207. That they might win the “Pick” trophy, donated by Albert Pick & Co. of Chicago, and which was open only to the bowlers in Nebraska, Wisconsin and Illinois, the Omaha players had to secure 1,956 pins at night, the defieit of the afternoon games. At the close of the serfes they lacked 466 of the required pumber to lead In the trophy contest. Omaba took one match of the evening, In the’two-men match, In which Voorhels and Wolf of the All-American were pitted against Schnelder and Beselin. The locals won by the small margin of fifteen pin as follows: Schneider, 190; Besell total, 369; Voorhels, 179; Wolf, 205; total, 384, Scores of the Gamen.
