of the advantages OF cotton mill in
vestment in North Carolina, as adver-
tised in the report of the state bureau
of labor, is no laws regulating the
hours of labor and the age OF employ

1868 children We're reported in the
rolls; now they number. as noted,
3.30S. In three years. says the COM
missioner of labor, the number OF child
operatives has been reduced 50 per
cent. The number of male operatives
has in the same time increased so per
cent, but it will be noticed that the
women employees still outnumber the
men. In Massachusetts they constitute
less than one-half the cotton mill
force.-Springfield Republican.
If there are but $500 children in the
North Carolina cotton mills the
numbe has decreased 40 per cen I'm

cial-it ought not to be difficult for
South Carolina manufacturers to agree
with their competitors in North Caro-
lint to abolish child labor altogether;
and, If they should fail to make such
an agreement, that failure ought not
to prevent independent action in this
state. Child labor can cut but = small
