Child labor suoh as you describe must

subjected to it, and I bid you God
speed in your effort 70 secure lcgis.a-
ton that #ilI prevent it. The develop
ment Of the cotton mill industry in

Of the legislature to let we'll enough
alone, at least for the present, but if
the good women Of the State will taxa
the matter in hand and systematically
organize and 90 to work they will be
successful IN the long Tuu.
Ido rot know Rhat active suppor:

the Legislature is in session, but what
ever Influence my name may give Is
yours to use as you see it
There are to agencies you have 70

the children because they get them
for small wages, and the parents who
are csrless OF tSeir ch;ld's weifsre, 80
that it is earning something, very Of

The working Of children, OF tender

Senator McLauti1, of this State, an

and Sepstor Morgan, Of Alabama, op-
!, it IL vigorous language Mr..
Y LauCin spoke in support of the bill,
bsslug his his advocacy Of the measure
upon he theory that the passage OF 1t
would bo1e6J the cotton growing inter
es;s Of tho sou'le-n 5 atss. He cited
tie c:ion of the s u erD Cotton Spin
1er5 association at Charlotte, \. g., In
urging legislation of the character pur-
posed in tie pending bill. He contend
ed also that anything that would slim.
ula,e American shipping would benhs
not cnIy the cotton interests but 81!
other agricultural interests, The re-
solutions adopted at Charlotte. ne said,
typify the sentiment ofthc entire south
and presase return of the old prestige
and prosperity Of that section. Mr.. Nc
Laurin referred to the effect of the
Civil war upon the south and said the
time had come to put aside the sninos-
tiles aroused by that struggle and take
up the interests that were Characters
tic of the old south.
Mr.. Mallory said in reply to Mr.. Nc.
Lsurin that his opposition to the bill
was based upon the opinion that 1t
would moi DO what it professed to do
J, aiding the American Shipping.
MORGAN AT THE BAT.
Mr.. Morgan then spoke for FIVE
hours.
Mr.. Morgan urged that the shipping
bill be committed 10 the committee, to
be secast IN order thst its constitution
al and other imperfections might be
corrected. He said it was now being
considered not on its merits but as
party measure.
- measure caDnot become a party
measure" suggested MIR. Allison Of
Iowa, until we know what it is. AS 1t
stands before Us now it is merely the
measure Of the committee and is SUP
ject to such amendment and change
as the senate may deternine.'
Mr.. Morgan expressed the opinion
that the American snip ysrds now,
Eihcut any assistance, we're the best
in the world.
DO you not think, asked Mr.. Hale,
that if the naval ships tuilt in our
yards were put 10 the test Of sctual
conflict they would prove themselves
to be the best ever constructed?
They have proved that, replied MIR.
Morgan.
Rererriug to the competition likely to
arise between the United States and
foreign nations, when this government
should vote subsidy to American
ships, Mr.. Morgan declared it would
result in CON mercial coofict between
the United Ststes and great Britain
in which the financial batteries Of the
two countries would be srIayed
against each other. He was inclined to
think the United States might be
1orsted in such conflict because of
the immensely superior sea power Of
Great Britain.
MIR. Morgan pleaded for the adoption
Of the Clsy sner6ment to the subsidy
bill authorizing negotiations for a
right of way for the Nicaragun canal.
Much as ne opposed the shipping bill,
he indicated a purpose not to oppose
it if the Nicaragua amendment was
added sod provision made that con-
gress should have power 10 repeal the
shipping act at any time.
