:. - citizen. The most
( s distressing OF these
-.-~--~' revelations was the
Testimony concerning the condi-
tion Of the lives of the miners
children. It was shown in many
ceases the parents had made false
statements of the age of their
children. in order that the little
ones could be permitted to work.
The children were taught to lie
by their parents and stoutly per-
sisted in lying as to their age,
even when immunity from punish
ment was promised them. The
lads who pick slate ia the coal
breakers persisted in giving their
age as over thirteen, and the girls
who toll in the silk mills asserted
almost unanimously that they were
above the age the law requires
before a child can labor for hire.
In many cases the little ones were
vivid witnesses to the falseness OF
their certificates, often being
found to be under nine years of
age.
Some writer's have unjustly
blamed the fathers of these chill
dren for making false statements,
and inducing the little ones to
second the lie. But the root of
the evil lies deeper than that; too
deep for the vision of shallow,
prejudiced minds The trouble is
mot with the parents bowed down
with the burden of poverty, nor
with the little ones robbed of
childhood, but the evil lies ina
pernicious social system inoculated
with an apathy more cruel than
the tyranny Of the Roman Caesars.
The laws of the state of Pennsylva-
mia protect children against the
avarice of their parents. A boy
cannot labor for wages until he
has reached the age of thirteen,
and then he must present certifi-
cate to the employer stating that
The has passed the prescribed time
slimit. This is the protection the
law gives childhood in Pennsyl-
wanna.
THE question arises: Why is
1t necessary for children to be
protected against the avarice of
parents? The only logical an
sswer is that the parents have not
enough, nor can they earn enough,
to maintain their own children
during childhood. There may be
"a few cases where the necessity fol-
the children to labor is not ap-
parent, but the Investigation has
mot disclosed many such.
We find that society protects
the child, but does not protect the
father. We cannot blame a parent
for permitting his child to labor
when it is beyond his ability tc
provide for it otherwise. If the
parent cannot provide for his chic
under existing conditions, it il
time such conditions were changed
Laws to restrict child labor will
not do it; that remedy has proven
futile. 1t makes liars of children
and perjurers of parents. Strike a
the root of the evil. Do away with
the necessity for child labor; tina
rs the only logical remedy. No
nation is just, nor any government
sgood, that permits the child O
