Mr.. Birmngham-Do you know any
thing about the mental condition Of your

"He would get all excited so that the
veins i'm his temples grew larger ana ne
acted very peculiar. He wouln look at

times and call things by wrong names.
For instance he would say. There's

feet. He would say that he had seen fig
ures OF saints and madonnas i'm heaven.
He drank once in a while. but was sober
when he spoke of seeing heaven by WIS.,

DR. Jewett, an insanity expert. and Or.
Mcdonald OF Butler hospital were exam

not be shaken In their belief that the

the stories OF anger and OF visions was
not sufficiently strong TO change other
evidences OF sanity on the part OF Per-
fecti.

CHILD
LABOR
DISCUSSED

Pittsfeld Mass, oct 1.-THE report OF
the committee which has been sonsider-
ing the subject OF child labor in MSHsa-
chusetts factories and the election OF Of
ficers were the principal matters of busi-
ness which occupied the attention OF the
delegates at the annual meeting OF the
Massachusetts, Federation OF Labor to-
day.
Joseph O. Jackson OF Fan River. first
vice president OF the association, submit
ted on behalf OF the child labor commit
tee a report, which, after setting forth
the situation as found I'm this state makes
several recommendations In the interest
OF the fight against the employment Of
children I'm factories. The report declares
that the latter should be considered by
the national as well as the local body,
and recommends that the incoming ma
ional executive council OF the American
Federation of Labor, should be instruct
ed TO communicate with the different
state branches OF the association and
with individuals and associations i'm SYM
pathy with the movement with view To
starting a national association
The plans, details and scope of the
work should be left 10 the executive coun-
ell. The state laws Of Massach chusetts
the report says regulating the employ
ment OF children. are liberal and some
thing that the citizens OF the common
wealth can justly be proud OF but. "as
much cannot be as truthfully said OF
their enforcement"
The report states that the factory in
spection system Of Massachusetts Is both
inadequate and inefficient"
These faults are not SO much the faults
OF the personnel OF the board but rather
are caused by the small force employed
They are not large enough for the thor
ough enforcement OF the law. The com
mittee recommends the introduction Of
bill, at the next session OF the legis-
lature. calling for the reorganization Of
the factory inspection system.
