To Start a Colony.

Rev. Francis Pribyl, pastor of st.
Stephens Slavonan Catholic church.
Plymouth, for the past four years and
three months, announced to the congre-
CATION on Sunday that he had rendered
his resignation to the vicar general OF
the diocese, and would leave this week.
The announcement came as surprise
to the parishioners.
Father Pribyl's health has been fail
ing for some time past and his reason
for rendering his resignation is to avert
threatened breakdown.
He has purchased 400 acres of land in
Delaware, Md, and holds an option on
1900 more. 1t is his intention when
thoroughly rested to start Il Catholic
colony at that place. He has already
sent numerous families there.

Liquor license court opened on Mon

four judges. About half the applica-

der were heard yesterday. Owing to
the small army of witnesses brought by
those interested, the judges decided to
hear but two on each side, feeling un-
less the number was limited that it
would take them all week to hear the
new applicants alone. Short work was
made of the old applicants for old
houses, and in the case of new appli-
cants for old houses and applicants for
new houses the business was hurried as
fast as possible. No announcements
will be made unit all have been heard

FreeIand Girl Found Dead

CHILD LABOR.



From the Philadelphia Press.
The anthracite strike investigation
had no more hopeful, helpful or encour-
aging outcome than the mutual decIara-
tion at one Of the hearings from repre-
sentatives Of both miners and operators
that each was willing to unite in rails
ing the age of boys on the breaker and
in the mines TO l6 years
This should be done. 1t is called for
by humanity. 1t is demanded for JUS
tlce. 1t is necessary to protect society
against ignorance. If bill to this
effect is urged on the legislature by the
united efforts of miners and operators
nothing could prevent its prompt pas
sage.
A measure of II different order has
unfortunately, been brought before the
legislature, apparently with the in-
dorsement of the United Mine Workers.
month ago, toward the close OF Janu-
nary, Mr.. Garner, OF Schuylkill, intro
dnced in the house of Representatives
and week later reported IL bill on child
labor in the mines. Instead of raising
the age limit to l6 as should be done,
it does very different thing. 1t pro
vides that it shall be unlawful for any
one ITO employ at any work or labor in
or around any Goa mine or colliery any
minor child under the age of 81 years
for more than eight hours per day"
This is not an act to protect children
from the rapacity of their parents and
the avarice of employers, 1t is an act
for an eight-hour day. 1t leaves the
present child age limit unchanged Ten
der children can still be put to work on
the breaker aud in the coal mine. No
effort is made by it to raise the age limit
for children of both sexes as proposed
and promised at the Anthracit Com
missisn hearing to l6 years of age. The
evil of child labor will still remain and
children will still be turned from school
to hard labor two or four years earlier
than they should.
All that this bill would really accom-
pltsh would be to make the plea for an
cght-hour day for adults stronger be-
cause the breaker would have to stop
and the boys in the mines would have
to come out in eight hours. Much can
be said for an eight hour day. In due
time it is sure to come as industry i'm
proves and the total product increases,
just as the old indefinite day of the mid
die ages shrank TO twelve hours and
then twelve hours diminished to ten and
in many trades ten hours has fallen to
eight.
But this step should not be confused
with the restriction of child labor. The
way to reduce child labor is to raise the
age limit. This winter is golden op-
portunity II the United Mine Workers
urge raisin < the age limit to l6 years
the operators are pledged to make no
objection, the public will universally
approve and the legislature will pass
the bill
