Measure to Prevent Employ.
ment of Children Is Still
Valuable One, However
WORK OF woMEN's FEDERATION
Thorough Investigations Have Re-
veaIed That in Very Few Cases Is the
Employment of Children in Depart.
ment Stores and Various Mercantile
Establishments a Necessity

Special TO Times Republican
| Des Moines, Feb. la.-The bill 10
prevent the employment of children IN
various lines of labor in the state OF
Iowa passed the senate and now VII!
run the gauntlet OF the house. The
bill suffered some DETACHMENT in the
senate. The principal point OF attack
was that part which included forbid :
ding employment in mercantile estab-
illshments. This term was like red
rag to some OF the opponents OF the
bill. They finally got 1t worked out OF
the bill entirely. The inclusion Of
mercantile establishments was espa-
cially desired by the women Of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs
who were back OF the bill.
THE bill has been seriously In
jured.' said Mrs. w H. Bailey, OF this
city. former president OF the women's
federation. after the vote had been
taken in the senate. hut 1t is still a
valuable bill. We very much desired
the feature Of keeping the children out
OF the department stores. We Of Des
Mpines have seen the evil OF this en-
ploytnent of children more perha PSI
than elsewhere In the state. Sometime
ago the womens cluos caused can
vass "a be made an thoro IN investi-
CATION as to the flmsles OF the hun
dreds OF childr.n 81 N,.< ir inlart-
ment stores and various mercantile es-
Establishments. In not one case did we
find such employment was necessity.
1t Is not true that this service Is 70!
the benefit Of dependent widows. We
have found no such cases in Des
Moines. In Chicago, where the women
had fight to get such a law. they in
vesugated and in all that city found
only three cases where widows were
dependent in part on the labor thus
done in stores by children. 1t Is the
same here and everywhere. In the
great majority OF cases where children
are employed regularly 1t is because
the families or parents desire to adj
10 their incomes ,..af tlierf LAY be
added luxurles or less effort elsewhere.
And so we were DESTROYS that the state
OF Iowa should forbid the employment
of children in these great stores and
in the many lines where 1t Is not nee
essary. But We are willing to make
start In the right direction and believe
ii will all come out right in the end
A great deal was said In the debates
abou, this being a bill to encourage
idleness and improvldence and 10 re-
strain boys from learning useful oc-
capations. but this argument was pref
ty thoroughly emasculated before the
finish.

nal sleep he began a search for his
son. the only member OF his family be-
sides himself remaining, but whom ne

knowing where to look. his efforts
might have been in vain. but further

leaving home John Miller had been liv-
