that there shall be no further increase
in this class Of laborers."
Referring to personal observation in
the mining industry Mr.. Waudby
writes:
''Truly breaker is we'll chosen name:
these boys are well broken And yet
their employers have the hardihood to
claim that these boys are happy and
we'll paid drawing 5 cents per hour
for their daily wage. Surely they
would be far happier at school, with
their fathers drawing fair days pay
for a fair days work. According to the
report Of the superintendent Of the
Pennsylvania bureau of mines for
1900, there were employed in and at
the anthracite coal mines boy workers
as follows: Slate pickers, 2O,69S; dr.y-
ers and runners, 10.177; door boys and
helpers, 3,12S, an aggregate of 34,OO3

Suggesting legislative limitations as
q partial remedy for the child labor
evil Government Agent Waudby says:
"The labor organizations generally
favor limitation of the factory age to
sixteen years, with educational re-
strictions. T1nkering with this prob
lem cannot be carried on forever. The
social conditions require thorough
overhauling- The insudciency Of the
reward Of labor is absolutely, one Of
the direct causes Of the employment
Of children, and we should expect to
see q decline In this labor from the
great material progress Of modern
times. The people must make up their
minds, first Of all, that the future be-
longs to that nation which puts the
social relations Of its citizens upon the
most satisfactory footing"

GOOD MOVE BY BELGIUM.

An indirect result OF the old age pen
stoH granted by Belgium to it's deserv-
Ing poor has been a governmental at
tack On alcoholism through the neccs-
stty of securing funds to meet pension
demands. The plan evolved by the
prime minister consists, says the Brus-
sells correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, in increasing the tax on
alcohol from 100 to $50 francs q hec-
tohteT: In 1895 this tax, which until
then stood at 81 francs, was raised to
100 francs. Its new increase of SO
francs hectoliter will bring in an in
crease OF 100000 francs to the reve-
nue. With the increased tax on alco-
hol there is united the abolition of all
tax on coffee.
Taken together, ali the clauses are
meant to represent a great temperance
measure. Already the old age pensions
have been lost sight Of in the wider
field OF debate which this measure has
opened up That the government will

FATHER DEMPSEYS WORK.

Father Timothy Dempsey, pastor Of
St. Patrick's parish. has begun tenn
perance crusade in his parish, says the
St. Louis Post Dispatch He states
that he will not stop until every wom-
an under 6fty-fve years of age and ev-
cry girl who has made her first COM
munion in his parish has taken the
pledge of total abstinence. While his
efforts will be mainly directed toward
the organization of the women of his
parish into temperance organizations,
he will grant admission to his societies
to any women who have not similar So
cieties in their own parishes.
THE need of a woman's temperance
organization is very great" says Fa-
ther Dempsey, ''as the drink habit has
invaded the homes, the very stronghold
of society. It seems to be the custom
rather than the exception for women
to keep intoxicants in their homes for
daily use. Not only are intoxicating
liquors served to visitors, but parents,
in addition to sending their children
for intoxicants, permit them to acquire
the drinking habit"
A large number Of women of St. Pat
ricks parish have become members Of
the ladies' auxiliary of the Knights Of
Father Mathew, which was estab blisked
recently in st. Louis by Miss Katherine
Kelley, supreme president of the Or
der. Besides the council organized in
st. Patrick's parish, others were Or
ganized in St 4Leo's and st. Bridget's
parishes. A similar movement is on
foot in many of the other parishes Of
the city.
These are not the only results Of the
visit Of Miss Kelley. Since Miss Kel-
ley's return to sher home in Kansas
City she has been flooded with letters
from all over the country, not only
commencing the stand she has taken
and asking for information concern
ing the ladies' auxiliary, but entreat-
ing her to strive with friends Of rela-
t1ves Of the writers who may be fall

TRANSCONTINENTAL MERGERS

ern or some other line between St.
Paul and Chicago, and the New York
Central, forming another transconti-
mental line.
To avoid competition with the other
Pacific lines one of these systems
could take the Union Pacific, and the
other could absorb either the Atchi-
son Or the Southern Pacific. Neither
OF those lines could be as q whole
classified as parallel and compet-
ing with the line absorbing it.
As the Pennsylvania aad the New
York Central are on the best of terms,
the directing geniuses in each owning
shares in the other, any combin ations
in which they figure would eliminate
competition. Morgan has strong in
terests in each: 80 have the Rookie
fe]lars and great many other fnan-
clers. Each system would have an
immense amouns of local business in
which there could be no possible COM
petition, and where it could charge
all that the traffic would bear unless
restricted by legislation. As each
system would have a terminal both at
the northern and southern points of
the Pacific coast there would be no
competition to build up either section.
1t would be easy for them to divide
the business at these terminal points
IN q satisfactory manner.
It is useless to fight this spirit of
combination. 1t is the spirit OF the
age. All kinds of business institu-
tions have found out that competition
is q two bladed Instrument without a
handle, and will cut the wielder as
badly as the one it is aimed at.
The American people will have to
learn sooner or later that they are
wasting time in trying to prevent
these combinations. There is only
one certain way of settling the ques-
tion, and that is by combining all the
roads and making them public prop
erty.

"CHlLDREN OF LABOR"
Appalling DiScov cries Made by Spe-
ciAl Agent Waudby.


Seventeen hundred and fifty thou
sand-one million and hree-quarters-
boys and girls between ten and fifteen
years Of age are at work in the mines
and factories OF the United States, ac-
cording to the startling story Of child
labor written by Special Agent Will
liam s. Waudby Of the United States
department Of labor for Leslie's Month
V.
Agent Waudby's authoritative state
ment Of facts evokes this editorial COM
ment as an Introduction to the article:
''These true figures form as serious
menace to our political future as any
which exists. The following article is
certainly reliable and quite as dispas-
sionate as it is we'll to be in the face of
conditions which may properly be
called appalling"

which is plentfully illustrated with
photographs, secured despite the sys-
tematic opposition of employers Of
child labor, says: "Child labor of the
past and child labor Of the present are
two very different problems In the
first instance the child was not consid-
cred as a wage earner,' but was sent
into the mills, the mines or the facto-
ries for the purpose Of learning a
trade. Nowadays the child is sent into
these hives of industry to become an
integral part of machine and as such
IS looked upon with no personal regard
whatever. The employer has no inter
est in the youngsters welfare beyond
what his productive capacity will bring
forth.
Hundreds of thousands Of little chill
dren are being defrauded of their
American heritag right to lib
eral educa tion-by being compelled to
work in the mills, mines and work
shops, thus being stunted in body as

The government will not succeed in
sitting agitation against the measure.
The Socialists cried out in the chamber,
you do not want to kill alcoholism !;
you want to profit by it!'' And it might
appear as if there was some truth IN
their cry. There is none. This meas

of the necessities Of the old age pen
sions, is real attempt to check the
evil of what is known in these CONT

it has found the way to make the peo~

Good food sends one up or bad food

Health depends on food more than on
