limit is thirteen In the following 1t is
illegal to employ children in any factory
under twelve Years of age: California,
Maine, Maryland, North Dakota, Austria,
Belgium, Denmark. Great Britain, Hol-
land, Norway and Russia. During the
present years, Kentucky, Maryland, and
perhaps others, have enacted similar
laws, making under fourteen years the
limit, and Virginia has adopted the
twelve Year limit In Porto Rico, chill
dren under sixteen are prohibited by law
from working in factories more than six
hours in tWenty-four, and in Great Bri-
tain, children under fourteen years can
work only seven hours per day, and all
under tWentyone are prohibited night
work.
1t is said that only four States now are
without child labor law.
Yet the mill owners say these chill
dren are better off in the mills than they
are on the farm; that working in the
mills make them smart Where have
our brightest most intellectual men and
leaders during the history of this country
come from? Upon the farm in the
country were reared our greatest Presi-
Some mill owners say they have kept
the agreement made two years ago, but
not all have, for it is estimated from
the reports made to the Labor Commits
sioner that nearly 1,500 children under
twelve are now employed in mills. This
does not include those under that age
who are helping their older brothers and
sisters.
l have said nothing in regard to the
education of these children, because |
presume that all men know it's necessi-
ty. But how can a child become cdu-
Gated if you keep it in the mills all the
time? l must say that some mills in
the State are doing much for the young
children. I appreciate the value that
some of these noble men are to the State
and that they have recognized the nccS
sity for sparing the child and are try
ing to do so. But with no law the
thoughtless parent is not careful to tell
the true age of the child and some mills
are not careful not to employ children
under twelve, even after signing an
agreement not to do so. and mill owners
cannot make the parents send their young
children to school.
In conclusion, l will say, we need the
law, we must force these children to do
what is for their and the States best
interest. And I beseech every true citi-
zen of the State to use his time and in
fuence to get the committee which meets
on Wednesday to report favorably on a
child labor law. 1t would be a blot on
the State if this Legislature failed to
pass a child labor law.

LIVES DWARFEp AND sADDENED.
Pale, Puny Workers in the Mill Who Long
Vainly for Childhood's Joys.

To the Editor:-A little boy, Ernest
Murphy, very bright, whose brother is a
genius, is going on eight, wants to go to
school. He has the eyes and features Of
a man Of forty. His neck is scrawny and
hollow. He is stopped. He said the 9TH
er day: Just as soon as l can get some
body to work in my place l am coming
to school"
A little Jones boy is crippled and
stopped. He says he is ten. He is very
pale His own playmates on the school
ground as he hobbies by on his way to
the mill look rosy and hale beside him
and very happy. In fact not a working
child who passes by the school children
looks as healthy as the puniest child in
school.
There is one exception: One little boy
is in school because his health gave out
in the mill. He looks to be eighteen. He
has the slow movement of a man Of fifty.
They say he is about twelve. But his
size would indicate that he is uot over
seven.
One puny ten-year- old passes by on
his way from dinner
Four serious looking fellows go by.
Their ages are eight, nine, ten and eleven.
The children of one home said to a
visitor: please beg papa to take us
out of the mill"
One mother Mrs. --, does not
know what to do with her sixtecn-year-
old boy. He is so sckly and languid. He
has been working several years in the
mill.
When the children work on night time
they begin to grow puny and delicate
When these children enter school they
are pale as a whitewashcd wall. life
less and sleepy. Some children six and a
half and seven and a half have recently
worked on night time.
One little girl who used to be very at
tractiye and promising and had beautiful
eyes, Shocks her friends to see how hol-
low her eyes and cheeks have become.
Twelve children who work, or have
recently worked on day or night time,
have an average age of eight and one
fourth years.
Some colored people in conversation
with some of the mill operatives said:
The bottom rail will soon be on top of
the fence and the top rail will soon be
on the bottom, cause we send our chill
dren to school and yours have to work
ir the mill"
Tho palcst children in school are those
that have just come off from night time.
These very children "pick up rapidly
after they enter school. One family with
several children came from tho country
not long ago. Their children were pretty
and healthy Now they are conspicuously
pale and sickly. Some mothers speak
with delight of the prospect or labor
law. Some say they wish they mad never
seen a cotton mill. Many families have
gene to the country never to return 10
the mills One family buried beautiful
girl last spring who died OF consump-
ticn. They went to the country last
fall. Their children are happy again. \
family moved away today. Ihe wagon
with the children looked like picnic
wagon The passengers were so happy
for their freedom.
A mother said today: II we were
back in the country where we came
from several years ago, and know "nat
I know now, l never would leave there.

TIE RAILROADS TRYING TO
DODGE JUST TAXATION,

Last night there was a mighty array
of railroad lawyers before C.ie Joint FL
nance Committee. They are seeking to
defeat section fifty of the Revenue Act
of 1901.
In 1899 the Corporation Commission
assessed the railroad property at $42-
100000. Judge Simonton issued an in
junction against the assessment. He
held the State up in the middle of the
road like a highwayman. The State,
in order to get out of the clutches of
Simonton. agreed to a compromise.
The railroads in North Carolina ac-
cording to the sworn statement of rail-
roads, earn four per cent upon $751;
100000. They are assessed at only s42,-
600. O0O
Last night the attorneys of the rail-
reads went before the Corporation Com.
mission and asked, after their agree
ment, to have section 50 repealed. 1t
was a surprise to every fair minded man
that they should seek to repudate the
agreement made in 1901. 1t was an act
of bad faith that will recoil upon them
But of this, more tomorrow.

Spirit of the Press.
NOT A WHINE, A DEMAND.

NOT A WHINE, A DEMAND.
Charity and Children.
We feel rejoiced that the people OF
North Carolina are making their wishes
known in no uncertain way at Raleigh
That tremendous pressure they brought
to bear before the committee on Propo-
sitions and Grievances was new thing
but it was vigorous and clear. Mr.. hes-
Ter we'll said that it was not a whine
but demand and it had honest voters
behind it. 1t it enough to make Il time
server quake in his boots, as it has done
no doubt. 1t is just a faint indication
OF the voice of the people, and if the
Legislature dares to disregard it the
members would better stand from under
at the next election. But the voice is
not going to be disregarded. We are
to have some temperance legislation
worth while now pretty soon, and we
thank God that the old cry Of endanger-
ing the party cannot prevent it.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1903-02-11

The people of North Carolina are look
ing to this Legislature to wisely and
loourageously solve the liquor evil as
they heroically solved the suffrage evil.
