TALKS OF CHILD LABOR
Rev. Calvert Smoot Says Legislation
on Subject Is Needed

Rev. Calvert Smoot, pastor OF the
Second Unitarian Church, Twentieth
and Capp streets. preached yesterday
morning on Child Labor in America" :"
He gave some startling facts on pres
ent day conditions, saying that there
were at present 100000 children in
the United States engaged in gainful
pursuits The remedy he saw in Fed
eral control He said. in part:
Nearly all our States have child la
bor laws. but their diversity renders
them OF little value. We need Federal
laws, enforced by Federal authority.
The greed Of manufacturers makes
them employ the cheapest kind OF la
bor-children when they can get them,
and where they cannot get children
they employ women, and when they
cannot get women they employ cheap
coolie labor. We shall never get laws
that exclude the cheap laborer while
the manufacturers can hire lobbyists in
washington.
Child labor results in illiteracy,
dwarfed bodies, stunted intellects and
perverted morals. The keen stress of
our competitive commercial system is
responsible for the present conditions.
Where it is unavoidable that children
should work in order to earn money
the state should go TO their aid

COMMERCIAL WAR WITH
GERMANY IS imminent
Root Warns Congress That
Present Situation Is
Dangerous
NEGOTIATIONS BEGUN
President to Call Special
Session if Tariff Is Not
Removed
NEGOTIATIONS BEGUN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Secretary
Root has sent to Chairman Payne of the
ways and means committee a signifi-
cant personal letter, which reads as
follows: 'T should hardly think it
would be useful for the House to pass
resolution No. S2S, calling for informa-
tion regarding negotiations with Ger
many.
mo agreements have been made be-
tween this country and Germany since
the modus vivendi was established last
year and communicated to Congress. As
the matter now stands, the maximum
tariff will take effect as against inn
ports from this country on June 80
next. unless something is done to pre-
vent it.
I'VE are engaged in active negoti-
stions to prevent it, but 1T would not
be compatible with the public interest
at present to make public any of the
papers involved in this negotiation
There is no doubt of the fact that If
Germany should carry out its threat to
enforce its maximum tariff on all arti-
cles coming from the United States
there would be an immediate and seri-
Gus commercial war between the two
countries.
There is good ground for the belief
that If Germany pursued this action the
President would Immediately call a
special session of Congress- There
would then be adopted a law provid-
ing for maximum and minimum tariff
in the United States. The minimum
would unquestionably be the present
rates. The maximum would be prob
ably % per cent higher. This would
almost absolutely destroy German COM
merce with the United States, and yet
Germany could hardly object to such
legislation because it would be merely
putting into effect the system of tariff
which the Kaiser's Government has
been threatening.

EXPERTS FIND RELIEF
ACCOUNTS IN ORDER
Auditor Says the Board Had
Nothing to Do With
Federal Case

William Bolge, auditor of the San
Francisco Red Cross and relief fund
which is handling the general relief
contributions, said yesterday that the
organization of which he was the au-
ditor had had nothing to do with the
s2.500,000 appropriated by the United
States Government for relief work in
San Francisco. According to a dis
patch from Washington no accounting
of this fund had been made. Bolge
said:
The appropriation made by the Federal Gov
eminent for San Francisco relief work wa
turned over in part to General Greely at first.
and then to his SUCCESSORS. Our organization
had nothing TO do with the fund which is now
being handled by the inspector generals office
at Pacific and Steiner streets. 1 have not heard
of any discrepancy OF misuse of the Govern
ment appropriation.
The accounts of the Relief Corpora
tion have been examined by two Gov
ernment experts. who completed their
work last week, having found all
money properly accounted for.
