REAL REASON FOR
IGNORING THE LAW

The real reason why Southern CAPT.
talists are attempting to scuttle the
anti-contract labor law and import
hordes Of cheap foreigners is cropping
out. They fear the growth of union
ism and are constitutionally opposed
to paying decent wages. Capt. Rob-
ert Holden, of Pittsburg, has been in
vestigating factory employment and
the labor situation in the South. He
says it is not true that there is a
scarcity Of labor in the South. There
Is an abundance Of workers, but the
mill owners will not pay a living wage
and themen refuse to work for less
According to Capt. Holden, the work.
ers Of the South are beginning to ex-
ercise the power of unionism. He
says, 1.-The apparent condition Of the
South is one Of prosperity, and the
wage earners, inspired by the aid of
the same class Of the North are hold
ing firm for their rights and refuse
to work for less than a just recon-
pense."

HONOR To THE |. 7. j.
FOR ITS GREAT WORK
It Has Broken ALI Records in
Raising Strike
Funds.
To the Faithful Members of
the Craft Much Credit is
Due.

The United Mine Workers Journal,
which stands at the very top in the
ranks of labor papers, published in
it's issue of December 10, the following
much-appreciated comment upon the
International Typographical Union
and it's contest for the eight-hour
day.
1.-THE international Typographical
Union has broken all previous records
in the shape of contributions to a
strike. When the United Mine Work.
ers raised $2,700,000 to support the
anthracite strikers in 1902, it was
supposed that the limit had been
reached. But her come the printers
with a membership Of but $4,000, who
contributed up to December l, over
100000 to support their eight-hour
battle, which they have virtually won.
1T is a pleasure to record that
every penny Of this vast sum has been
accounted for and not single COM
plant has been raised about It's dis
tribution. No more striking comment
can be offered upon the officials of the
Unions for their integrity and eff
cheney than a simple recording of the
facts. How different their conduct
appears and what striking contrast it
makes to the conduct of men at the
head Of our financial institutions. All
honor to these faithful men,"

UNIQUE LABOR STRIKE.

The most unique labor strike in the
history Of strikes is on in Colorado,
writes A. H. Floaten. According to
Mr.. Floaten, who lives at Fort COL
Inns, CAL, about $4,000 acres in that
vicinity are devoted to raising sugar
beets The sugar trust has six fac
tories in the territory. The price of
sugar beets has been IS a ton. Now
the sugar trust offers $4.75 a ton. The
farmers formed union and declared
they will not accept the reduction.
The trust replied that its factories
will be shut down Indefinitely. The
strike and lockout is on and it looks
like a fight to the finish just like the
farmers are getting wise nowadays
struggles in other industries The
and it is probably that the trusts will
soon have them educated sufficiently
to understand that they are in the
same boat with other working peo-
pie.

MANY Of OUR YOUTH
ARE BREAD WINNERS
Government Report Shows
That Nearly 100000 Boys
and Girls Work.
Many of Them Support Their
Parents and Their Age is
Between TO and Is.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE extent to
which child labor Is employed in the
United States is set forth in a bulletin
issued by the census bureau The
statistics presented are for 1900, and
relate to the employment Of children
as bread winners, of whom 100000
in round numbers, between the ages
Of 10 and Is, were SO employed
Bread-winners are defined as those
earning money regularly by labor, con-
tributing to the family support, or ap-
probably assisting in mechanical or
agricultural industry. BY far the most
| important industry for children is that
of agricultural laborers, the number
of children, 10 and Is years, so en-
ployed being 1,054,446.
About two thirds of the total num-
Der Of child bread winners were en-
ployed on the farm and most of these
! children were members Of the farm
! ers' families.
Next in Importance comes domestic
service or the occupations Of servants
and walters or mattresses in which
I 38,065 children were employed, most
of them being girls.
| About one third of the children en-
ployed in gainful occupations were IS
years Of age, and more than one-half
were IA or Is years old. The num-
Der under II was 79O,333, or 45.2 per
| cent Of the total.
OF the total number Of child bread
winners. 10 to Is years of age, 1872 per
cent was boys and 278 per cent girls.
Almost invariably the percentage of
| bread-winners is much greater among
foreign born children than among ma
| tive born children. The percentage of
bread-winners among negro children
IS much higher than among white chill
dren.
The cotton mills furnish employment
| to children to a greater extent than
any other manufacturing or mechanic
| cal industry.
