This activity was observed on Thurs

ss7 knots, then $50 and $50 on the fol-

to seek for the cause, The water sud

high temperature was recorded and all

Friday the days run was eommuted II
was found that the speed logged only
SCI miles.
All this time. according to Captain
Ruser, there were light winds from the
southwest, high barometer and an in
tensely humid atmosphere. The weather
was ideal for the voyagers as far as
smooth seas went, but the temperature
on shipboard was almost nneearaele

Defense in Suits Says Foremen, Not
Companies, Are to Blame.


Trenton. y. J., Aug. l4.-Novel de-
fenses were made today to two suits
instituted by the attorney general for
Lewis T. Bryant, commissioner of labor
of New Jersey, for violation OF the
child labor laws prohibiting the EN-
ployment Of children under IA years
of age in factories of the state.
In suit against the Mercer Pottery
company il was contended that the law
should be literally construed and the
employer exonerated unless IL could be
shown that he knowingly employed a
child below the legal age, and that there
were no circumstances to justify be.
lief that it was above the age. Judge
MacPherson held that this contention
was without force. since the law requires
that afiidayits and proofs Of age for all
children under l6 shall be filed with the
department of labor. Another point OF
the defense was that the child was not
employed by the company directly, but
by the foreman of a department.
In another case against the United
Oil Cloth company, it was said that a
child who had been working for some
time had not been employed by author
ity of the company because the mana.
ger, who usually employs help, was alb.
sent in New York. Decision was re.
served in both cases.
