FMpLoYMENT OF CHILDREN.
The Matter to he Considered by the
senth Carolina Legislature.


CHARLESTON, S c., Dec. 22--The
employment Of children in cotton mills
and in other Industrial enterprises In
this State viii be one Of the chief sub
jects to be considered by. the South Car
DINA Legislature at its session next
month. 4 great deal of attention has
been given the matter, and it is believed
that the Legislature viii eHdeavor to have
a better understanding of the conditions
as they exist in this State today.
The enormous increase in the cotton
manufacturing industry and the employ
ment of such large number Of opera
tives have naturally brought many chill
dren into the mills. and there is a desire
On tie part of the lawmakers 10 see
that the children are not put 20 work too
young r. Fl. MeMaster, q member OF the
legislature from Charleston county, has
just return ed to the city from an extend
ed tour through the mill section and bss
gathered bulk OF information which
will be presented TO the Assembly when
the child labor question is taken up
Mr. McMaster+ says thai he went to
the mill district impressed with the idea
that legislation restricting the employ
nlent of children in the cotton mills was
Imperative. but admitted that he came
back here with his ideas somewhat shak-
en-. He says he is inclined to believe that
il legislation IS required it should be
more in protection of the mills than
against them. ne says the condition OF
the Ell people is excellent. and he Is
unable to see just how this can be i'm
proved.
At the Pelzer Manufacturing Company s
mills. one of the largest concerns IN the
country, operatives employed are made to
sign an agreement that their children be-
tween the ages of five and TT elye years
viii be kept in the schools provided by
the company, and after passing the age
of twelve the children VIII be put to work
in the mill and kept there under the di-
reetion OF the superintendent This rGIe
is said TO be satisfactory and the Pelzer
schools are fined with children who are
given an early education before they are
started in for their life work
Other members Of the Legislature are
conducting quiet Investigations, and it is
thought that great attention viii be Civ
