CHILD BREAD WYNN ERS.
Nearly Two Million Workers Under;
is Years OF Age.

Washington, Jan. 25-The extent to
which child labor is employed in the
United States is set forth in a bulletin
issued by the census bureau. The statis-
tics presented are for 1900 and relate to
the employment of children as bread
winners; IL millions, in round num-
bers, between 10 and Is years old were
so employed.
BY far the most important occupa-
tion for children is that of agricultural
laborers The number of children 10
to Is years old so employed was 1,054,-
446. Next in Importance comes domes-
tic service of the occupations OF ser
wants and walters, in which 13S,065 chill
dren were employed. About one-third
of the children employed in gainful oc-
equations were 10 years old and more
than one-half were II to Is years old.
The number less than IA years old was
100 623. OF the total number of child
bread-winners 10 to Is years old, 722 per
cent were boys and 27.8 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. In 1900 the number of cotton mill
operatives 10 to Is. years old was A.
At.
OF the 1,622 messengers and errand
and Office boys in the United States 81
messengers and errand boys, 23.3 per
cent were office boys and 14.7 per cent
were bundle and cash boys or girls. The
occupation of the textile worker or the
needle trades furnished employment to
,0f0 children between 10 and Is years
old, of whom 5,315 were boys and 20, 1874
girls The total number of children 10
to Is years old engaged in the tobacco
and cigar factories was Il, 462.
OF the 23,65 children for whom sta
tistics were specially compiled, the num-
Der of fatherless or not living with
fathers was 4.S43. The percentage of
school children in the total population
5 to years old was 53.3, which is only
a little higher than the percentage, 500,
shown for the selected families includ
ed in this study. Of the number of Chi
dren 10 to IA years old in these families,
only 31.9 per cent were in school, while
the corresponding percentage for the to-
tai number of children of that age in
the United States was 1913. But after
these children reach the age at which
the opportunity for employment as wage
earners begins, their school attendance
suffers.
OF the total number of children 10 to
IA years old in the United States IL
were nliterate, as compared with 1873
per cent for the child bread winners of
the same age included in this tabula-
ton. For the messengers and errand
and Office boys the percentage of Hitter
acy is comparatively small. BY far the
greatest degree Of illiteIacy is that
shown by the children in cotton mills

Gent" s
you say it is largely inefficient, Mr.
Blakeley. How much OF the sewer car
you say is inefficient from what you
personally know" asked Councilman
Nipps
.'Wen, there is the alley between Polk
and Tyler, between 18th and 18th streets;
about four hundred feet long, replied
Blakeley.
THE sewer is five miles long; that's
a pretty small stretch to call it largely
inefficient" said Nipps-
We'll just hold on, am not through
yet. Between Tyler and Topeka avenue
there is as much more and in the alley
between Harrison and Topeka avenue
and between 18th and 18th streets the
people have their cellars filed with wa
ter. That's considerable.
This is the most inefficient sewer
that I have ever heard of. This sewer
does not do the work it was intended to
do We don't propose to take these
fiinlsy excuses"
How did you take these borings to
discover if rock was underneath or not, -"
asked Blakeley of McCabe.
1--WE had a man go out with two
inch augur and make behring's along the
route Of the proposed sewer for every
leo feet said McCabe.
"One hundred feet. Didn't you take
them oftener than that? 1t appears to
me that you might miss the rock that
way. How are you going to tell where
it runs out at? Don't you go back to
measure if you strike the rock to find
out exactly where it goes out? Certain
ly you should have struck the rock in
boring. The rock in this section of the
lies with the horizon YnIl

of the country. The rock may dip a
little but it lies for the most part in

II didn't do the borings myself. My
assistants did that They reported back
to me that they found no rock" said
McCabe.
You ought to know. You have the
men responsible to you working for
you" replied Blakeley.
Councilman c. E. Jordan and Coun-
Gilman F. z. Nipps clashed last even
ing. Councilman Nipps said that the
committee had met to hear anything
new but did not care to discuss further
that had been previously gone
over.
It have got something new to say
said Jordan. The indications are that
the taxpayers paid for something that
they didn't get All the money that
has been paid
II would rather have you not reach
conclusions. I think that we should
leave that to some one competent to
prove it." broke in Nipps.
Il think 1 am entirely competent"
said Jordan.
-Oh, I didn't know that" came back
the retort.
Some Of the members of the commit
tee limited that they considered that
Jordan was going over matter that had
been threshed out. A flush of
anger mounted the First ward council
mans cheeks at this and he said: "WilI
you hear me speak?"
The meeting came to conclusion
soon thereafter. The property owners
said that they had nothing new to so
over beyond the objections noted but
that they desired to have them fully in
vestigated.
The charge that Gilmore paid Nc
Cabe over $4,000 was not mentioned.
