A year ago little Ola Owens was a
type of sweet American childhood.
Today she is type of the child

the cotton mills of the south alone.

great nation neglects and abuses
its children as we do.
Our president only little while
ago cried out against the threaten.
ing approach of race suicide. Mr.
Roosevelt must lack sense of
humor. at least. Larger families
inevitably mean more children to
be ground up in our mills.
In America over $4,000 children
are working at the age of 10 years,
and the number gradually Increases
until there are over $4,000 working
at the age Of 10, 100000 at Is. The
sum total of all children working
between the ages of 10 and Is years
is nearly 100000

figure of Ola Owens is concrete
proof to the contrary. They are
white. The negro children do not
show great adaptabilty to the tex

the southern mills are white. The
