INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
"
The question of factory inspection has been agitated in Michigan for several years.
A bill to provide for such inspection was introduced in the legislature of 1891, but
failed to pass.
In 1893 another bill was introduced, and passed during the closing days of the session,
which received the approval of Governor Rich, going into effect August 25, 1893.
The bill as introduced, contemplated a separate bureau. As it became a law, it pro-
vided that "Factory Inspection" should be a part of the Bureau of Labor and Indus-
trial Statistics, and under the control of the Commissioner of Labor, who was directed
to cause "at least an annual inspection of the manufacturing places in the State."
Inspections may be made by the Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner of Labor, or
such other persons as may be appointed by the Commissioner.
Inspectors were appointed at Detroit, Grand Rapids and Saginaw, with one in the
Upper Peninsula and one at large in the Lower Peninsula. Besides these regular
inspectors, three more were detailed for a few days of local work.
An effort was made to cover as much of the State as possible in 1893, for two reasons.
First, it was desirable to, and in fact, was the only certain way to inform proprietors
of factories and others interested that such a law had passed and taken effect. Second,
it was also necessary to know as soon as possible, approximately, the number of places
to be inspected. The State was not divided into districts, but inspectors were assigned
work as near their homes as possible. All the older and more thickly settled counties
were visited by the inspectors, and many of the newer and sparsely settled ones were
also reached. The names of inspectors, number of places inspected, forms of blanks
used, and other information, will be found in the pages preceding the tabulated report
of inspections.
Following the tabulation are the changes ordered. Each factory is given a number
and everything in connection with that factory is referred to by its factory number.
Accidents in 1893 in factories inspected are given a place next. Factory employés will
be interested in the report of accidents. Information as to the number of fatal ones,
and the care of the injured, will be found under its proper head. It will be seen that
about twenty-five per cent of the disabled were left to care for themselves while
unable to work. Each succeeding year shows more and better arrangements for the
maintenance of those who are injured by accident, or laid off from work by sickness.
There are many thousands of the population of Michigan employed in manufacturing

industries. With the increased use of machinery has come more risks of injury to
employés. Steam succeeded water power very largely, and now electricity is taking
the place of steam. We wonder at the improvements in the past, and yet the future
will be just as full of surprises. With this increased use of machinery has come the
necessity for more safeguards for the lives and limbs of the operatives in manufactur-
ing places. More than this, the sanitary condition of factories has demanded attention.
Too much care cannot be exercised to make work-shops as free from dust, foul air and
gasses as possible. At the best the air operatives are compelled to breathe is bad
enough, and it is a worthy effort to add to their safety and comfort.
The hours of labor for operatives, especially for children and minors, together with
sufficient time for the noonday meal, has also received commendable attention.
Factory inspection has come by degrees. In a large number of states laws were
passed providing for safeguards on machinery, for better sanitary regulations, for fire
escapes, for protection to elevators, to regulate the labor of children and minors, and
many things not necessary to mention here. Municipalities, by authority conferred
on them in their charters, have made many such regulations for factories
within their limits. With no one personally charged with the enforcement of these
laws, benefits derived from them were not great. Later in several states laws have
been passed providing for a State Factory inspection. In some states it is a separate
bureau, in others, like our own, it is made a part of the Bureau of Labor and Indus-
trial statistics.
To be a success, factory inspection requires the services of men for inspectors, who,
besides having a fair knowledge of machinery, understand human nature. Neces-
sarily, an inspector interferes with a man's private business, and the natural instinct is
to resent any such interference. Too often the inspector is abused for that of which
he is entirely innocent. The best and most successful inspectors are those who can
ignore such unkindness, and quietly point out the necessity of complying with the law,
in a manner that appeals to judgment and reason, rather than to invite attention to the
penalties the law provides for its violation.
In most states, appropriations for factory inspection are too small to properly do the
work. The salary should be something more than a skilled laborer would be able to
command. Probably better results would be obtained, were inspectors not allowed to
inspect factories in localities where they live. Traveling expenses will necessarily be
quite large. Office work is no inconsiderable part of the duty of an inspector. It is a
necessity that the head of the Bureau of of Inspection should know where an inspec-
tor is, and just what he is doing. In some cases appeals will be taken to the chief
inspector, and then the necessity of a complete record can at once be seen. More than
this, experience has shown that a close watch is necessary to secure compliance with
orders, and an annual inspection is not always sufficient. "Whatever is worth doing at
all, is worth dong well" is peculiarly applicable to this work. No reasonable expense
should be spared to make the inspection effectual. Just what amount may be neces-
sary in Michigan, can be better told after a full year's experience. When the next
legislature meets, the Labor Bureau will be prepared to state intelligently the probable
appropriation required, and also as to any needed amendments to the law. It will be
well if those people interested in perfecting this law should be prepared to state to
committees of the legislature any desired changes which occur to them. The laboring
population will have no difficulty in securing legislation which will promote their wel-
fare, if they make a reasonable and proper showing.

It is due to Inspectors to state here that as a rule, they have displayed commendable
ability and intelligence in the discharge of their duties. To Messrs. W. F. Tripp, L.
C. F. Hintz, O. O. Krapf, and Geo. E. Gunn, the Commissioner is under particular
obligations for the zeal and energy displayed in the work assigned to them. Their

retention as inspectors is evidence that their efforts to properly discharge their duties
are appreciated.
To Mr. J. W. Selden, Deputy Commissioner, and Mr. L. S. Russell, chief clerk of the
Labor Bureau, more than ordinary acknowledgment is due. The details of preparing
blanks, books, etc., for the inspection, as well as the supervision of the work and pre-
paring this report, have been very largely in their hands. In all duties assigned them
they have been industrious, intelligent, and painstaking, and very much of the success
which has attended this first year's work is due to them.

CORRECTIONS IN NAMES OF FIRMS.
It was not to be expected that in writing the names of thousands of firms, many of
which are, to say the least, peculiarly spelled, that mistakes would not occur. Especi-
ally is this so when the names are given amid the noise and rattle of machinery, and
at the same time hurriedly written by the inspectors, who are often confronted with
unfamiliar pronuciations, hard to understand even with favorable surroundings.
The inspectors tried to avoid these mistakes, but we find, after it is too late to make
the corrections in the tables, that errors did creep in. Without trying to hunt out
those of a minor nature, we do correct some of the more important ones which are
given below, designating them by the inspection number, which should read:

Inspectors were appointed by the Labor Commissioner as follows: Wm., F. Tripp.
Detroit; Louis C. F. Hintz, Grand Rapids; Ottmar O. Krapf, Saginaw; John A. Ruehle,
Sault. Ste. Marie.
George E. Gunn, who had been been employed as general canvasser for the Labor
Bureau, was regularly detailed as traveling inspector, and L. S. Russell, chief clerk of
the Bureau, also assisted at inspection. Besides these Mr. John H. Van Ness, of Ionia
and O. F. Webster, of Owosso, were employed to help out in the work in their vicinity.
Of the five inspectors named first, all save Mr. Ruehle have remained in the inspection
during the year. Mr. Ruehle was given the Upper Peninsula, but covered only a part
of his territory, and is not retained as an inspector.
Many factories were closed down, and many in the country and small villages
were not reached for want of time. In all, upward of two thousand places were
inspected. Of this number six hundred were in Wayne county, three hundred and
sixty-one were in Kent county, one hundred ninety-six were in Saginaw and Bay
counties.
The most important features of the inspection have been with reference to child
labor, fire escapes and elevators. The Bureau asked and received from the newspapers
lengthy editorial notice of the law's taking effect, and had issued in pamphlet form
and mailed to all those who asked for copies.
Notwithstanding all this, when the inspection began soon after September 1st, very
few proprietors seemed to know that a law providing for factory inspection had been
passed. It will readily be seen that besides a campaign of inspection, it was also a
campaign of education which confronted inspectors.
As a rule, inspectors have received courteous treatment from proprietors, superinten-
dents, and all concerned in the management of factories. The results obtained from
inspection are fairly satisfactory.
Experience has added much to the efficiency of inspectors who have done the work,
and there is little doubt that the benefits derived from the inspection of manufacturing
places will be an adequate return for the money invested.
An examination of the forms of blanks used for inspection reports, etc., will show
that the work is so conducted, that the Labor Commissioner is kept fairly well informed
as to the inspection, and has on file a history of the work of all inspectors.
Prosecutions for violation of the law are ordered only by the Commissioner of
Labor.
The following tabulated statement shows factories inspected; together with name of
factory, location, date of inspection, goods manufactured, beside other information
pertaining to number of employés, child labor, etc.
In the inspection and also in this report, each factory is given a number and known
in the Labor Bureau by that number throughout the year. In the report of changes
ordered, which follows the tabulated statement, the same rule is observed. For
example, a certain factory is numbered "57" in the inspection and in this report.
Changes ordered in that factory are also known by the number "57" in the state-
ment of changes.

DEDUCTIONS FROM THE WORK OF INSPECTORS.
Persons interested in the welfare of the manufacturing interests and manufacturing
population of Michigan will examine the tabulated reports of factories and manfactur-
ing places inspected, each from his own standpoint. Each will draw conclusions in
keeping with the questions he seeks to solve. The first year's inspection of factories
and workshops is as full as the time occupied would warrant. The law was new and
comparatively few of the people affected knew there was such a law. Inspectors were
inexperienced in the work. It would not be strange if the first of this work should not
be as satisfactory as could be wished. It is a pleasure to be able to say that as inspec-
tors became more familiar with their work, and better understood the law governing
them, increased efficiency became apparent, as shown by their reports and by personal
investigations made by the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Labor.
In the cities of Detroit, Grand Rapids, Saginaw and Bay City, it has been possible
for inspectors in many cases to make more than one visit to a factory. In the other
cities and villages it has been impossible to make a second visit.
When the Labor Bureau began inspecting factories September 1, inspectors were
furnished the following blank.
Date...
Location
Name of establishment..
Running or idle...
Full or part time...
Average hours per week when running full time..
Average hours per week at present...
Number operatives employed when running full capacity.
Number operatives employed now
Cause of reduction, if any..
Prospects for return to full capacity.
Have wages been reduced since April 1, 1893?.
If so, what percentage....
How do wages compare with one year ago?.
If idle, when was establishment shut down?.
Cause for shutting down..
Prospects for resuming business.
No..
Inspectors were instructed to use great care in filling the above blanks, and to make
diligent inquiry regarding the condition of labor in the factories inspected so that the
information obtained would be accurate and reliable. The result of their work shows:

One can hardly comprehend the immense loss to the factory laborers of this State,
and yet, for a wonder, they are self supporting. No person studying the foregoing
figures can fail to appreciate the importance to the factory employés of Michigan to
have factories running on full time. Shutting down of factories means enforced
idleness and following close on this comes want and privation.
An examination of the reports of the inspectors show in the 2,066 factories inspected
the following information.
Number of males employed.
Number of females employed.
Total number employed...
Number between 14 and 16 years of age.
Number under 14 years of age...
Number of places where children under 14 are employed.
Number of changes of all kinds ordered.
Number of fire escapes ordered....
Number of elevators ordered protected..
Number of sanitary changes ordered.
Number saws ordered guarded...
Number of belts ordered guarded
Number of miscellaneous orders..
Number of orders reported complied with

The figures given above are very nearly correct. It will be seen that women are fill-
ing a large number of places in our factories, and why should this not be so? There
is no good reason why women should be denied an opportunity to gain an honest live-
lihood in any occupation adapted to their sex and physical strength.
The Michigan Legislature has sought to limit the age at which children should be
employed in factories. This is unquestionably a move in the right direction. It will
not conduce either to the physical or intellectual development of a boy or girl to be

confined for ten hours a day within the walls of a factory. Certainly the years up to
fourteen should be spent in school. Upon the intelligence of the people rests the safety
of a free government.
Another question enters into the consideration of child labor. The laboring men and
women have no more serious competition to contend with than from the labor of chil-
dren. Every child displaces a man or a woman. Beyond this comes another question.
Stern necessity compels many children to not only support themselves, but to con-
tribute to the support of others; perhaps a widowed mother, or helpless brothers and
sisters. Many times a denial of an opportunity to labor means enforced pauperism. It
will not add to the self respect of any person, either child or adult. to compel them to
become statutory paupers, if that term may be used. With the enforcement of child
labor laws arises a necessity for the enforcement of compulsory attendance at school
and increased vigilance on the part of truant officers. Idleness many times begets mis-
chief. It is not for the good of community or for the children themselves that they
should be allowed to roam the streets, exposed to vile associations.
It is a question that demands the careful. unselfish consideration of all. In a sense
the children of a community belong to the whole community. No person has a moral
right to say, "I have no children of my own and am not interested." To properly
solve the problem will demand the wisest counsels of lawmakers and people.
Fourteen hundred and twenty-six changes were ordered in factories inspected. The
matter of fire escapes is receiving increased attention from all. Several disastrous fires
like the Edson, Moore & Co. fire in Detroit, resulting in terrible loss of life. have only
increased the demand that proper means of escape from buildings in case of fire, shall
be provided.
This bureau has control of manufacturing places only. Good fire escapes are some-
what expensive, and with factories shutting down and running on part time, with pro-
prietors and operators suffering from "hard times." it has not been easy to secure
compliance at once with all orders from inspectors. Elevators, blowers or dust
arresters, and all other points covered by the law have received careful attention from
inspectors.
This report shows that only about twelve per cent of orders given have been com-
plied with. It is known that a large number more are “obeying orders,” and it is
quite safe to say that at this time nearly one-half of the changes ordered are
complied with or will be before the inspection of 1894 is completed.
In the factories inspected two hundred and twenty-five accidents were reported. Of
these seventeen were fatal. Of the other 208 many of them were of a serious nature,
while some, it will be seen, were trivial. Of the fatal and serious accidents, in forty-
nine cases the injured were cared for by the firms employing them; twenty-five by insur-
ance companies, while in thirty seven cases the firms and insurance companies divided
the expenses.
In fifteen other cases the firms partially assisted their unfortunate
employés, and in ten cases their fellow employés rendered assistance. Of the whole
number, fifty-seven received no outside assistance.
Many other points besides those enumerated here may be brought out by a careful
examination of the details of the inspectors' reports. It is evident that the act provid-
ing for the inspection of factories is a necessity to protect the safety and health of
those employed, and that with some necessary changes and an increased experience in
enforcing it, the law will be productive of much good.

LAWS AFFECTING LABORERS EMPLOYED IN
FACTORIES IN MICHIGAN.
In addition to act No. 126, session laws of 1893, which is given on page one (1) of this
report, there are many legislative enactments in Michigan in the interests of owners
and operators of factories as well as their employés. Most of them are very import-
ant and beneficial. Others are of less importance and are only partly enforced.
while some are ignored and remain a “ dead letter," on our statute books.
In this report are given some of the most important ones, which contain valuable
information and will be more apt to be observed by those concerned when their import
is fully known to owners, managers and operatives of factories.

ordinance of any city, town or village, provided for the protection of employés, the said
inspector shall give written notice of said act, omission or default to the proper local
municipal authority or department and take any steps permissible under said local
ordinance for the enforcement of the same. Whenever any act or omission, mentioned
under this act, is also an act or omission under the provisions of any local ordinance of
any city or municipality, any person who has previously given written notice to the
proper local authority or department may, after a period of thirty days, petition in
writing, to the commissioner of labor, providing the said local authority or department
have not in the meantime enforced said ordinance. The said commissioner upon the

be had before some judge of said court, within thirty days, at such convenient place as
shall be fixed by said order, or the said judge may appoint three experts to examine
the matter and hear the parties, which experts shall be disinterested persons and

the report of the said experts, or a majority thereof, in writing under oath, filed within
ten days from the date of such hearing, in the clerk's office of said court, in the county
wherein is the subject of the controversy, may either alter the order, requirement or
direction of such inspector, annul it in full or affirm the same. A duly certified copy
of said decision, so filed as aforesaid, shall have the same authority, force and effect as
the original order of the inspector, and shall take the place of said original order.
The court may award reasonable compensation to experts appointed under the pro-
visions of this section, to be paid from the contingent fund of the bureau of labor, pro-
vided the appeal is decided against the order of the inspector, and to be paid by the
party taking the appeal in case the order of the inspector is sustained.
SEC. 15. The county attorney of any county, or the proper prosecuting officer of any
city or municipality in the state, is hereby authorized and directed upon the request of

examination or investigation being made by a factory inspector, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than
twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars, or by imprisonment not less
than fifteen days nor more than ninety days. No criminal prosecution shall be made
for any violation of the provisions of the first seven sections of this act until thirty days
after notice in writing, by a factory inspector, or the commissioner of labor, of any
change necessary to be made to comply with the provisions of this act, has been served
upon said person, and not then if, in the meantime, such changes have been made in
accordance with such notification. This period of thirty days shall not, however, be
allowed to the owner, agent or manager of any factory, mill, workshop or other
building where said owner, agent or manager has been ordered to put a water-closet or
privy into good sanitary condition, the only defect of said closet or privy being due to
the neglect or carelessness in its management or supervision. The owner, manager or
agent in such case shall be liable for the penalty of this section if he fails to put said
closet or privy into good sanitary condition within forty-eight hours from the receipt of
the notice required by this act. In case of an appeal from the order, requirement or
direction of the said commissioner or factory inspector, as herein before provided, the
thirty days allowed by this section shall be reckoned from the date of the decision of
