OPPOSES CHILD LABOR.

Big Department Store Manager Who
= Favors the Clarke Bill. E
J. E. Baum, president of the Benz

ter to Representative Clarke of the
Legislature: b
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 81, 1907.-Hon.
Henry E. Clarke, Jr., House of Repre-
sentatives, Lincoln, Neb: My Dear
Henry-I notice statement in one of
the daily papers today to the effect
that it is expected that the depart
ment stores will exert pressure and In
fiuence against the child labor bill
which you are endeavoring to have.
passed by the legislature AS you
know, l am in the department store
business and, speaking for myself, Il
want to go on record, emphatically, in
favor of anything that will tend to;
keep children in school until they be-
come old enough to go to work, and
have enough education to make them
able to take care of themselves on
their way through the world There is.
no reason on earth why any depart-'
ment store should oppose the child
labor law, unless it is through a pure-.
ly selfish desire to get the cheapest
possible kind of help for some unim-l
portant work that must be performed,
and | think that any man who finds
himself able to conduct so important
a business as a department store ought,
to be able to make his living without
earning profit off the work of little,
children.
There are, of course, frequent in.
stances where it is almost necessary
for children to work, where the sick
ness or death of the father and mothers
brings about a condition of unusual
distress, but even in instances of this
kind there ought to be found some way
to- give such children the benefit of a.
good education
l sincerely hope that no one lin the
department store business will in any
way undertake to interfere with the
passage Of your bill, and 1 write YOU
this letter with the wish that it may
be of assistance to you in silencined
any such opposition that may arises
Very truly yours, j. E. BAUM, !
Pres. The Bennett Company.

steadily for the past twenty years. IN
1880. when the total number of chill
dren in the United States between ten
and fourteen years of age was 6,649,-
4S3. the number who were working for
wages was 1,198,356, or 16 per cent
of all such children. In 1900, when
the total juvenile population was g.
613,252, the number working for wages
was 1,75O,17S, or IS per cent of the
total.
Some of the children are shown to
be put to work when very young. In
Pennsylvania, for example, where the
bows are needed in the hard coal
mines, the census enumerators found
| 2,O67 boys ten years of age at work.
IL addition to these there were 3,614
boys eleven years of age, 1884 boys
twelve years of age, 1926 boys thir-
teen years of age, 23,779 boys fourteen
years of age, and 23.1O1 boys fifteen
years of age.
How protect these boys? Pennsyl-
vania is supposed to have statutes
against child labor and law officers &C
enforce them But Pennsylvania has
Mr.. Baer of the Delaware & Lacka-
wanna railway. leading spirit of the
coal trust and commissioned by the AL
mighty, as Mr.. Baer thinks, to make
! the business pay. The consequence is
Pennsylvania does not protect these
children.
The remedy which is suggested by
Senator Beveridge is very simple. He
| would make it illegal for anthracite
coal which these boys helped to pick
lover in the breaker houses to be ship
ped from one state to another. Thus
Pennsylvania would have to either dis
pose of all it's hard coal within it's owr
boundaries or the little breaker boy.
under fourteen years of age must be
taken out of the breakers and sent tt
school.
The same principle applies to thu
children employed, for example, in thu
cotton mills of Alabama and the knit
, ting mills of Massachusetts. Boil
these state are fragrant offender

The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-02-15

Ii, SOL boys and 1873 girls fifteen years
of age engaged in gainful occupations.
Another state which is a fragrant
offender is Georgia. The census re-
turns show that in that state there
are 6O,S7O boys under fourteen years
of age and 2S,74S girls under fourteen
years of age working mostly in the
cotton mills.
North Carolina also INDUCES in
child slavery, employing more than
half its children between ten and
fourteen years of age. There were in
that state in 1900 62,445 boys and
25,541 girls employed in gainful occu-
pations.
In Indiana there were 16,101 boys
SO employed and $500 girls.
AS one moves west conditions i'm.
prove in the matter of child labor. In
the section of the United States EN-
bracing the states from Washington
| on the north to California on the south
and coming east as far as Colorado
and Utah the proportion of boys be
tween ten and fourteen engaged in
gainful occupations is but per cent
4 The census figures show that the
largest number of young children and
women employed is in the cotton mills
Second to these come the silk mill
operatives. The hosiery and knitting
mills employ great many women and
children, as do the shirt factories, the
paper mills, the leather working fac
tories and the cigar and tobacco
works.
When Senator Beveridge will be
able to force his legislative remedy
in the teeth of the powerful moneyed
interests which will be arrayed against
him remains to be seen. Certain 1t is
that his fight will be harder one
than that put up by the beef trust.
In his fight for the children he will
encounter the opposition of a score O
trusts, including the glass trust, thu
cotton mill combination, the coal trust
the tobacco trust, the paper trust ant

How many children in the United

This is a question to which the atten-
ton of congress is to be directed this
winter by Senator Albert ]. Beveridge
OF Indiana.
Can the strong arm of the federal
government be interposed to save the
children? The senator from Indiana
says that it can. His announcement
and the plan which he suggests are
the most radical propositions which
have been brought before the country
for many years.
That the children have not been pro-
