LE CHILD
 SHALL LEAD THEM.

SHALL LEAD THEM.
 It is the factory child who has jed the Alabama Federation of Womsn's Clubs to met in Montgom ,ry. the capital city of Alabama, and to gather together not as heretofore in May, the month or fowers-but in the stern winter when the fibers are strong. the senses keen and alert and the energies of soul and body feel the tonic .n sky and air.
 To save the little children of Alabama from mill labor through the force and authority of law framed by the Legisla- ture now in session, this is what the wo- men have come to do. Their first public effort was made yesterday when to the desk of every member was sent the pamphlet of the Legislative Committee written by Mrs. Erwin Craighead. a com pilation of the pros and cons on child labor, complete summary of all the objections, and each objection answered in its turn. This pamphlet proves the power of the Federation to think and to reason, and to know business princi- pies and to recognize the highest patriot ism. The motherhood of Alabama, were 1t as untutored as is that of savages, would instinctively save children from work that destroys its vitality and out rages the bond of parenthood-panoplied III WlSQOlnp porn OI tHe eXpeflenCo OI those who have won freedom for child hood in other lands, supported by the good men of the State, they will not ask in vain for justice to those whom God and nature commands them to protect and cherish.
 At Montevallo and at Decatur the Fed eration pledged itself to the support of such child labor legislation as should be offered by the Central Committee of which Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy is chairman and A.-. ! r. Marks, Jr., Is Treasurer. The present ,-: ontion means to consum- mate that pledge and secure through the manhood of the Legislature that law for which they have been striving with voice and pen and in all possible ways in the months that have led up to the present and brought them here to speak face to face with those who shape in legislation the destinies of the future.
 The legislative pamphlets were given to all delegates yesterday with their cre- dentials at 12 m. in the Methodist Church
