Child Labor in the South.

In recent wears, since cotton mills
became numerous in parts Of the
South, much has been said about child
labor in that section. The problem
has received much attention. both North
and South. and much has been written
about the evils of the situation. Now
we are told, on what seems to be the
hest authority, that matters have been
much exaggerated and that there is
Hess child labor in the South than here
lin New England. The Charleston News
and Courier refers to an exhau stive re-
port on the South Carolina cotton mills
| by August Kohn. vOuching for the
character of the man and the accuracy
' of his work BY actual count Mr.. kohn
shows that there are employed in the
mills of that state IS, $50 operatives. and
among them only 495 children under
twelve, 2S9 boys and 2o6 girls. or l IL
per cent Of the mill workers Of the
State, or one in every IS. There may
be three times the number ascertained.
but ever 50 the condition is not what
it has been represented. Aud in no
cases do managers encourage child
la Dor. being careful to exclude it as far
as they can.
W. Z. Curtis reports in the Chicago
Record Herald that men and women
are now in the southern states investi-
eating the question for the department
lof Commerce and Labor. Mill owners
at Charlotte. n. G., tell MIN that the
whole subject has been greatly exag-
Serated as to its extent and iniquity.
In North Carolina employment under
13 is forbidden. In all the cotton mills
south Of the Potomac there are about
1850 operatives, of whom between 5
and per cent. or from 5000 to 1000 are
children, nearly equally divided as to
the bobbins, Is light and done at inter-
walls. The work Of the girls, TO piece
the threads is harder and calls
for continuous work II hours Il day
with Is minutes at noon for lunch. The
pay is from 65 cents to 81 day. The
boys get from 80 to Is cents.
There are good managers and bad.
but all prefer labor from children more
than Ii years old. as younger labor IS
not profitable. And for years the Cot
ton Manufacturers Association of the
South has advocated a compulsory edu-
cational law. which will keep the
children out of the mills. In many
towns the mills give money to supple
mcnt the school tax so that tine usual
school year of four months may be ex-
tended to eight. The same men do be-
lievc, however. in children working in
vacation, as they say if left to iGleness
they deteriOate. Here, as in other
large manufacturing regions. it is the
parents that do most to force too young
children into The mills There is en-
couragcmcnt in knowing that tine stu
alton is not so black as it has been
painted There will be less in it to be
reformed.

BIG BARBECUE

Begin Fishing at Day.
light

Woe to the shy finny fish that inhabit
the waters near Redondo beach. This
morning the many members of the Rod
and Reel club will wend their way to
the popular resort armed with every
imaginable appliance and contrivance for
tempting the hungry little denizens Of
the deep to bite. Everyone Is anxious
to make the biggest haul of the day,
and more than likely fishing will begin
at daylight, for there must be enough
by D. m. to feed a multitude of hungry
fishermen and their friends who are
looking forward to a fish barbecue.
OF course enough fish will be caught
to feed everyone, but just the same a
few doubling housewives have prepared
elaborate lunches to take along-just in
case of emergency, you know.
There will be all kinds of fishing for
all kinds of fish Some will fish from
the beach for surf and yellow fin; others
will angle from the various piers and a
few will venture out in boats for the
larger fish.
A close tab is to be kept on all mem
bers, and anyone found hanging around
any of the Redondo fish markets will be
fined The members want fresh fish as
1t comes kicking out of the water and
they will be satisfied with no other
After the barbecue and refreshments
a regular series of contests will be pulled
off. There will be casting match from
the pier and from the beach, and a num-
ber of other stunts which delight the
skillful angler will be practiced.

FIGHTERS PLAN TO
DO HEAVY STUNTS
MANY SPECTATORS WILL FLOCK
TO CAMPS TODAY
fore Fridays Big Mill VIII
Be Taken by the
Sports

Today will be the biggest and the most
active of the session in the Cans training
camp at Arcadia, where the dusky light
| weight champion is working into shape
for his coming contest with Jimmy Burns.
Cans will begin boxing at 8 O'Clock be-
fore the large crowd which is always sure
to be present at the camp of the popular
fighter. At least a thousand spectators
are expected to be present to witress the
work.
Besides boxing with Bubbles Robinson,
and perhaps some others, the champ will
do few stunts with the punching bag
and will wrestle with the sandbag. Cans
has been taking things easy since his
fight with Britt just doing enough to
keep in trim, but of late he has begun to
| take up the hard work. Today's perform
apce will probably be the most interest
ing yet given.
Burns will commence work cs the same
hour In his Long Beach training quarters.
The plucky little fighter is having hard
times in his cramped quarters on the pier
and there Is little chance for the fans 70
get to see him. The ring in which ne
boxes and does his stunts is small and the
space around it is easily filled by hun
dred spectators.
Despite this handicap and the disap-
pointment in not getting the skating rink.
as he had expected, Jimmy Is doing good
work. His crowds are not so large as
those drawn by Cans, but this is partly
due to lack Of room in which to entertain
them.
Yesterday Afternoon Jimmy went to T..
for several rounds with Eddie Chambers
and Abdul the Turk, and both bouts were
| fast and hard. Jimmy uses his two hands
with equal facility, landing smashes with
one and then the other in rapid success
sion. He is tough little fighter, who
can stand lots of punishment and he has
a punch This will make him a danger
| Gus opponent for any one against whom
he is matched, and no one knows this
better than Cans.
Both Burns and Cans are now stripping
| around 1877 pounds. and they, have four
days In which to reach the 1876 limit re-
quired. Neither trainer contemplates at;y
difficulty in having his man down to re-
quired weight by the 9th and there is
small chance of any weight forfeit money
changing hands.
