For falsely pretending that he would sell
Joseph Tyler of Hillsdale two horses for
$2T5 and thereby obtaining money from
him, Samuel McIntire was committed to
Jail yesterday from the Police Court by
Judge Kimball for one year. less day.

West Indies and that he could raise horses
there very cheaply He further stated that
he had a shtpload of the horses on the way
to this country and that he would sell two
horses cheap. Tyler was impressed with

gave Mclntire some money account,

of waiting for the horses to be delivered
and he reported the matter to the police

1t was first pointed out that one tract

money had been spent in Improvements

that during all the Intervening time the

route and heavy roads over which it is

Congress will appropriate will probably
carry the Improvement as far as 2oth street
and the additional $4,000 would serve to
open direct means of communications into

DISCUSS CHILD LABOR
SECOND OF. SERIES OF SOCIAL
PROBLEM MEETINGS.

Washington is proud of system of
night schools which provides instruction
for working children, even those fourteen
years of age and under, but such a system
is disgrace to the community which sup
ports it, DR.. Charles P. Neill, commits
sloner of labor, declared in an address on
The Situation in Washington The adj
dress was delivered at a meeting at the
Public Library in connection with which
Child Labor was the topic of discussion
The meeting was the second of the series
on social problems
DR.. Henry j. Harris, also of the Depart
nlent of Commerce and Labor, followed
Ir. Neil, speaking on The Necessity of
Legal Regulations" Mrs H. Ida Curry,
an agent for the Associated Charities, cited
numerous instances OF the evil effects in
TINS city of child labor ON the moral eharac-
ter OF the children coming under observa-
ton.
Clifford Pinchot, who was to have pre-
sided was unable to be present, and his
place was taken by Charles Z. Weller. The
meeting was closed by three minute talks
on the general subject, in which discussion
many persons in the audience participated
Evil of Child Labor.
The evil of child labor" DR. Neil said,
is two centuries old, and all arguments in
It's favor have been proved long since to be
absolutely without any economic or scien-
tific basis Any industry which cannot ex-
list without the exploitation of child LABOR
is in the position of that man who, when
reproved by the great Dr. Johnson for keep
ing low grog shop, replied: But l must
llVe see no necessity for it,, was John
son scratching rejoinder
A strange paradox is that child labor is
an accompaniment of prosperity" continued
DR.. Neill. The period of Englands great
est glory, which followed the Introduction
or machinery, was the blacklist page in
human history Her apparent prosperity
was built on the horrible foundation OF
child labor. and children died like flies in
winter from the effects of their awful bond
age in her factories.
The cost of production should not be
considered merely in the sense in which
that phrase is ordinarily used, to mean the
number of dollars it costs the manufacturer
to produce a given commodity. 1t should
be used to mean the cost to society itself
that cost expressed in fatigue, in shattered
health and shortened life, in the ruined
character of women and the dwarfed bodies
of children

Proposed Law Discussed.

The proposed law for the District to re-
strict the labor of children was discussed
by DR. Harris. He said that a mere COM
pulsory education law would be insufficient.
Only stringent laws against the employment
of children can possibly prevent the exploit
tation of their labor
You surely do not expect us to show
hundreds of children who have been ruined
by the stunning of their mental and moral
faculties" the speaker added. 1T is enough
that these conditions DO exist here and
that 1t has been proved by Inquiry that the
moral condition of children here is quite
as bad, even if their Surroundings are more
wholesome physically than in some COM
mun.ties"
That the theory of putting girls and boys
to work has a rational basis was denied by
all the speakers, and the particular cases
given in illustration of conditions In this
city by Mrs. Curry aroused sympathy.
