TRADE
IS IMPROVING

NEW YORK, June Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade to-mor-
row will say:
Seasonable weather in most sections
of the country has done much to stimu-
late tagging retail trade in light wear
ing apparel and greatly improved the
entire business situation by accelerat-
ing the maturity of agricultural pro-
ducts. Labor controversies are not dis
turbing, several more agreements hav-
ing been signed, and less than the usual
number of struggles are threatened for
July l. Building operations are more
numerous and involve a greater amount
of capital than at this time in recent
preceding years. Railway earnings for
June thus far exceed last years by 81
per cent and foreign commence at this

comparison with last year, while i'm

market. Foreign dry hides continue
dull at the recent decline, and, al
though less active than last week,
leather is still moving freely.

CHICAGO CHILDREN
HELD AS SLAVES
EARNED Ont as Servants In
stead Of Being Sent to
School.

CHICAGO, June "a system of vir-
tual child slavery. in which children un-
der IA years of age are 'farmed OUT into
households in an attempt to solve the
servant girl problem. is state of affairs
that has been brought to the attention
of the department of compulsory educa-
ton, following startling revelations in
various Justice Courts of Chicago in the
last three weeks. That such a system
exists to an alarming degree is the dec
laration of Superintendent w. l.. Bodine,
who has secured the conviction of Mrs
Ottilie Krosdick on the charge of violat-
ing the compulsory education law.
This is the tenth of its kind that I
have had in the last three weeks" said
Bodine. Judging from the testimony of
various Witnesses at the trials of these
cases am convinced there are hundreds
of children from institutions who are
drudging as servants in many households
of the city without being sent to school,"

CABINET TALKS
OF EXCLUSION
Metcalf and the President
Said Not to Be in Accord
on Policy to Be Pursued
HAY TO TAKE A HAND
Will EndeavOr to See That
the Cordial Relations With
China Are Not Disrupted
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU. POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, June 23.-There seems to
be a decided difference OF opinion be-
tween President Roosevelt and Secretary
Of Commerce and Labor Metcalf- AL
though it has been repeatedly denied that
the President has asked Metcalf, with
some degree Of severity, to use his Off
cial prerogative to lessen the evil Of ''un-
jusss discrimination" against Asiatics, 1t
was emphasized to-day at a lengthy Cab
met meeting that the administration does
not think that the immigration bureaus
of the country have shown as much di-
plomacy as is necessary.
The Cabinet discussed the situation for
nearly three hours. Prior to the confer
ence, Secretary Taft sald:
This is very serious question The
President is inclined to modify the ex-
clusion laws, but only to that extent that
will permit of fair and impartial treat
ment to students and merchants. He has
not deviated from his policy Of legislat-
ing against the coolie.'
Secretary Metcalf said:
II am In favor of following to the letter
the provisions of the Chinese exclusion
act 1 am really in no position to talk
of tie matter"
While it may be shown on the official
surface that the Cabinet Is in harmony
on the subject of modifying the exclusion
act, there has been an effort to prove
that the claims of the Pacific Coast OF
yellow peril are unfounded. Secretary
Metcalf has attempted to qualify this
impression, so he says, and make the
East understand that California Is not
fighting immigration from Asia on any
other ground than that upon which Is
fought the battles against immigrants
from the lower classes of Europe.
The President made it clear at the
meeting to-day that he was determined
the Chinese should have fair treatment
under the law, whenever they applied for
admission to this country at any port
He believed this was not only in the In
terest of American manufacturers and
business men, but no more than just to
the Chinese. While no definite decision
was reached at to-day's meeting, IT was
the generally expressed opinion that the
amicable diplomatic and trade relations,
which this country has always main
tanned with China, should be continued II
possible. To this end Secretary Hay will
take action on behalf of this country
The report that the commercial guilds
of China have entered into hard and
fast agreement to boycott American
made goods has had disturbing effect
on American producers interested In the
Chinese trade. 1t will be the effort OF
this Government to endeavor to correct
any misunderstanding that may exist IN
China as to the enforcement or the Cnl-
nese exclusion laws. There Is no dispo-
sition to exclude from the country any
of the classes of Chinese who are exempt
from the operation of the exclusion law
