Children's Home Society.

Rev. J. S David, a former pastor
in Vineland, is a new man in the
field of the New Jersey Children S
Home Society. According to his
statement the Children's Home So
ciety has placed in homes 725 chill
dren during the seven years of its
operation in this state, and 1875 of
these have been adopted. There are
234 local boards in the state, whose
duty it is to report children needing
homes and homes requesting chill
dred.
When home applies for child,
one of the agents visits the home in
person and makes what inquiries he
can. The home must also be en-
dorsed by the local board before a
child can be placed there. They are
taken on trial for at least three
months, and if kept are visited by
one of the agents as often as seems
necessary.
The headquarters of the society is
in Trenton where a Receiving Home
accommodates the children for few
days or weeks while permanent
homes are being found for them in
families.

GOVERNOR REBUKES
FACTORY INSPECTORS
Insists That Laws Against Wage
Payments in Merchandise
Must Be Enforced.

Factory Inspector John W. Ward
was publicly censured on Tuesday by
Governor Murphy for his failure to
enforce the laws of the state regula-
ting child labor and those prohibit
ing the payment of wages in mer-
chandise. While the Governor in
sisted that the factory inspector
should see that the laws are enforced
he expressed the belief that the act
prohibiting the payment of wages in
merchandise or by orders on stores
is unc Constitutional.
''It seems to me, - said the govern
or, that if,a man wishes to make a
contract to work for barrel of ap-
pies day or week he has perfect
right to do so, and no statute can de-
prive him of the privilege. Never
theless, while such a law exists it
should be enforced, for this is the
best and surest way to test whether
it is good or bad legislation.
Now, Mr.. Ward, continued the
governor, addressing the factory in
spector, Il am telling you publicly
what I expect to tell you later in
private, for l wish it distinctly un-
derstood that the laws must be en-
forced. -
These remarks were made by the
governor during a hearing given
Tuesday afternoon to delegation
from the South Jersey glass blowing
district, where fragrant violations of
the child-labor law are reported as a
common occurrence. Numerous in
stances were cited of the alleged
hardships of children who are often
sent to work in the factories when
not more than six or seven years old.
Inspector Ward pleaded that there
were many difficulties in the way OF
enforcing the laws, his department
being confronted with sworn affi-
davits of parents that, their children
were over the minimum age of twelve
years, while the children themselves
are taught by threats never to admit
that they are under twelve years old.
Complaint was also made that the
factory Inspector and his deputies
never visit the factories, but this was
denied by Mr. Ward, who appealed
to one of his deputies for corrohora-
ton.
81 have been in the manufacturing
business for over twenty five years,
said the governor, "and have never
seen an inspector at my factory.
Inspector Ward excused this ap-
parent dereliction by saying that the
department had such confidence inthe
governor that it deemed it unneces-
sary to inspect his plant. The gov
ernor had a long talk with the in
spector after the hearing and outlined
the manner in which he thought the
laws should be enforced.

Echoes of the Haines murder trial
are coming up each day in the shape
OF bills from those who took part IN
this drama at Mount Holly. Dlsap'

A pointer for merchants: See that
your clerks get into No. and advertise
in the LABOR WORLD. It will bring
you good results.
Union men, when you wan to pur-
chase any article, look over the ad-
tertising columns of the Labor World,
and see that you purchase from the
friend sof your paper. BY SO doing you
are helping yourselves.
Business who refuse to recognize la
Dor unions are behind the times. The
unions are legitimate and have a.

workers would be completely in the

PUSH IT ALONG.

A New York daily newspaper, in be-
half of the right of non-union men to
sell their labor to monopolists, says:
IF one man may not sell his labor
without another mans consent he has
lost his liberty" Certainly. That is
just what union men want every voter
to learn. No man can sell his labor,
under present laws and conditions,
without the consent Of some capitalist.

non-union. is enjoying liberty. Every

A forcefuI address was delivered on
1.-THE Miners Cause by Alderman w.

and one Of union labor's strongest ad-
vocates at the head of the lakes. He
pictured the opulence Of the owners
and operators, and alongside of the COL
ored canvass sketched another in words
depicting the poverty and sorrow en-
differing the life of the miner, toiling
at an average wage of SLAP day.
The speaker told Of the benefits that

Mr.. McEwen had statistics at his fin

his points. He claimed that the state
ment made by owners that they made
no money mining coal was false, be-
cause, although they could show losses

RUSSELL SAGE ON TRUSTS.

Russell Sage is not a saint by any
manner Of means. q 3i9
But he is a hard-headed hnancier,
and talks sense when he talks.
Trust organs are poking fun at his
recent interview respecting the trusts.
What did he say?
He said great combinations Of all In
dustries ARE menace. to true govern
ment. Not only SO, but they are OPP
pressors of the people,
|. The trust organs say that is non
sense.
Now, Russell Sage knows what he is
talking about. The interviewer asked
him if some combinations were not be-
nef1cial, resulting in cheaper prices and
better service on the one hand and
better prices for the products Of labor
on the other.
Mr.. Sage admitted that, but said
there is a. danger line, and Mr.. Sage
believes that danger line has been al
ready crossed.
Merging. is going on apparently as
long as there is anything to- merge and
consolidation as long as there is any,
thing to consolidate.
The inverted pyramid is growing top
heavy.
Russell Sage sees that and any man
with good sense can see it.
The trust promoters?
They don't care. They are reaping
their: harvest.
The people?
