CRAFT SAYS LEGISLATURE
 WILL PROHIBIT TOTS WORKING
Representative of Mobile County Has Made Trip Through Alabama in Interest of Child
 Labor Act

Children are not an economic class of labor because the product of their labor is not well finished. When it Is put on the market it does not command as much money as the product of older and more competent persons. This Is merely an ar gument aside from the humane condition which is paramount with us.
 'The last Democratic Convention held in South Carolina pledged itself to en- act child labor law and the vote for the adoption of the proposition was more than two-thirds of the Democratic dele-, gates in the Convention. Had Demo- cratic Convention been held in Alabama this year we would have advocated such a plank in the platform"
 While in Washington. D. C.. several weeks ago MT. Craft said he called on Samuel Gompers. President of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. to enlist the sympathy of the national labor organiza- tion in the child labor movement in Ala hama. Mir Gompers. MT. Craft said, told him that his organization took no part in politics but personally he felt deep interest in the humane work the Execu- tive Committee had undertaken in Ala bama.
 MT. Craft went to Mobile last night.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-09-06

Hon. John Craft of Mobile. who was in Montgomery yesterday. declared, he be- lieved the next Alabama Legislature would pass an act prohibiting the work ing of children under 12 years of age in factories.
 Mr. Craft was member of the last Legislature. He is Mobile City Coun- cilman and a citizen of considerable means. During the last Legislature he manifested deep interest in the child abor bill which was defeated. He is a member of the Alabama Executive Com mittee on the child labor movement, of which Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy is chairman. Judge Thomas c. Jones and Judge J. B. Gaston of Montgomery and Prof. J. H. Phillips of Birmingham and Hon. A. J. Reilly of Pratt City are the other members of the committee.
 Recently Mir. Craft has made trip through Alabama in the interest of the child labor movement. He has seen many of the nominees to the next Legislature and as result he is hopeful that at the forthcoming session the Dill will become a law.
 MT. Craft says If a Democratic State Convention had been held this year, him. self ard other friends of the movement would have made an effort to have had the Democratic party pledge itself to the people to prohibit the working of little children in factories.
 We have been active this year." said MT. Craft, fin educating public senti- mcnt oil this matter. This has been done in Mobile, through the pulpits, and among fraternal societies as well as the labor organizations. The ladies have also given us valiant assistance. By these methods, we have crystalized an almost unanimous sentiment in our section m favor of the proposed law.
 "A few children are worked in the two cotton mills in Mobile, and l have ob- served children at work in cotton mills at Alabama City. AvonGlie and other places I have visited recently.
 We will ask in our bill that no child under 12 years old shall be allowed to work and we will have our representa- tives here to urge the passage of the measure
 'It is not the purpose of the Commit tee to retard or hamper capital or indus tries or to interfere with organized labor.

Captain Rogers. however. refused to pursue this course and in a card appearing in the local newspapers he announces that he will vote for Mir. Norwood as the Democratic nominee and leave the question of his eligibility to the Senate. which Is sole judge of the qualifications of its members. Should the seat be declared vacant by the Senate. q new election would doubtless be ordered, in which event Captain Rogers would probably be .unopposed.

Secondhand Clothing Dealers.

Chief of Police E. T. Walters this morn- ing swore out warrants against H. Bei- man. ". Beiman. M. Schulzbacher. A Miller. Joe Rosenburg and I. Blauner for dealing in second hand clothing without license. At meeting of the City Coun- cil held last May an ordinance was pass ed that license of $50 should be charg- ed for the selling of second hand cloth ing. This morning Chief Walters issued the warrants for the above named men on the ground that they had exposed in their stores second hand clothing which very probably was for sale. although none of the firms has been caught selling these goods. The trial of these men will come up before Mayor Mcleod in Police Court in the morning and as most of the men who have been arrested on the charge have secured attorneys to de- fend them. 1t promises to be hotly con- tested.
