treated i'll the same manner, which
goes to show that the same course
is pursued in every instance. In this
case the member died from natural
causes, but rather Unexpectedly. As
he had no relatives in this country.
the Typographical union provided
Christian burial, closed up his affairs
and forwarded his property to his rela-
tives. The services were largely at
tenderd by his fellow workers. and
the beautiful floral tributes attested
the esteem IN which he was held. He
had been prominent member of the
local union.
To prove that these brotherly acts
are not confined to the well-known
members however. the case of a poor
unfortunate who died from q lingering
disease. during which he was visited
and comfOrted by the members of the
woman's auxiliary may be noted. At
his death the union officials assumed
full charge of all arrangements. finan-
cial and otherwise. and his funeral ser
vices were as largely attended and as
much regret shown at his death as
had characterized that of the members

who had been more fortunately placed.
The foregoing cases are cited merely
to show that while the trade unions
are regarded in some quarters as hard
hearted business organizations. and
meet with considerable opposition
from superficial and academic observ-
ers because of this idea. there is an
other side to their activity that is sell
dom brought into public notice. but is
as much a part of the unions existence
as is the question of hours and wages
the fraternal side. And in this re-
spect the International Union. as its
records will prove, takes rank with the
greatest and best fraternal organiza-
tions, aye with the very church itself
for did not the Carpenter of Nazareth
say: What ye have done to one of the
least of these my disciples We have
| done unto me-"
| And this is only one of the many
phases of the fraternal spirit that is
daily practiced and preached by the
trade unions.

Washington. March 14.-Congress
having made an appropriation of 100,
600 to be extended by the Department
of Commerce and Labor to find out
who is responsible for the system OF
child labor that has been practiced all
over the country, unusual interest has
recently been manifested in this mat
ter because of the discovery that in
hundreds OF mills and factories five
per cent of the operatives are boys and
girls of very tender age.
The proprietors claim that their du-
ties are very light. Be that so, the
confinement and close attention which
they must needs pay to the delicate
work with which they are entrusted, is
a very great hardship.
More than that it keeps them from
school, where they should be until they
have at least passed their sixteenth
birthday.
They are never paid more than a dol
lar day and sometimes much less
The proprietors have been arraigned
and censured most numerically for
giving employment to these children.
Nearly all of the states have passed
rigid laws against child labor, when
as a matter of fact, some instances ex
cepted, the proprietors Of mills are not
to blame. Cruel and inhuman greed
of parents sometimes has much to dc
with the evil.
Naturally, in families where there
are many children, it is pretty hard
for the fathers to provide for them AND
1t is not surprising that they take the
chances of the effect Of this labor
which is always considered very light
upon the health and strength of theil
growing children for the meager sums
which they can add TO the income fol
the support of their families.
There are other cases. too, where
widows are absolutely dependent upor

their children for existence. There is
much to be said on both sides of this
question, but there should be some au-
thorized supervision Of the employ
ment and the kind of labor that chill
dren under age should be allowed to
do. The hours, also, should be ar
ranged to correspond to that of other
employees, making proper concession
on account of their immature years.
Parents should be compelled to allow
their children some part Of the year
to go to school. 1t seems outrageous
to defraud them of any kind of an ed
ucation which would fit them for
something more lucrative and import
ant when they grow older.
If children could go to school four
months out of the year and work
eight, 1t would enable them to acquire
some education which everyone is
compelled to have in this day and
time to make any success in life.
The probabilities are that if some
such arrangement was made, the chill
dren would be more attentive in
school because of the training they
receive in some industrial pursuit
All play or all work makes a girl
or boy dull, and it is the division that
produces the most gratifying and sue,
cessful results.
1t is reported that the question has
been so much agitated and legislatures
have taken hold of the question with
such determination to improve the
condition of child labor that already a
great deal has been accomplished in
that direction. Children are better
paid better fed, and have more rec
reation than they had formerly.
1t is reported by some Of the opcrat-
ors that they prefer to take girls over
10 to having boys and girls under age
because the salary paid to these older
girls is about the same that they have
to pay to children and they are much
better equipped and far more capable
to do the work than are the infants "

should be allowed to work; neither
should boys under age be permitted

Georgia Never Before Wit
messed Such Spectacular
Fight for Place.
SMITH AND BROWN IN RACE
BOTH HAVE BEEN ENEMIES FOR
MANY YEARS AND ARE BOTH
AS DisslMlLAR AS COULD POS
SiBLY BE IMAGINED.

Atlanta, Ga, May 3O.-Georgia is
fights for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton that has occurred in years.
The battle between Governor Hoke
Smith and Former Railroad Commits
sioner Joseph H. Brown.
The contest, which has been mark
ed with bitterness throughout, will be
decided by the people at the primary
June t.
While on the stump during his re-
markable campaign two years ago,
Smith repeatedly attacked Railroad
Commissioner Brown. The two held
opposite views on the regulation Of the
railroads.
IF l am made governor" Numbered
Smith time and time again, Il will re-
move this man Brown from office"
The governor has kept his word He
removed Brown.
Up to the middle of March no one
dreamed of opposition to Governor
Smith. Then Brown announced his
candidacy for governor. A great
laugh went up from the governors
supporters. The governor publicly
announced he would pay no attention
to the candidacy of Brown.
Smith awakened rather late to the
fact that real danger confronted him
He practically abandoned his executive
officers and inaugurated a tour of the
state, making campaign speeches al
small and large cities alike
Governor Smith and his opponent
are as dissimilar as it is possible fol
two human beings to be. Smith is
a physical giant. and considered one Of
the most powerful campagners in the
country He does not know fatigue
He can ride on a freight car all day
speak several hours in the evening
and dictate letters the balance of the
night. His capacity for work is {

Brown is small and delicate. H,
does not weigh more than 40 pounds
and probably could not make himsel
heard twenty feet away in a publ,
speech. But he can write wonderful
arguments. He knows the inner af
fairs of the railroad business as few
| men know it.
He is not of prepossessing appear
ance Governor Smith has made tn,
mistake of ridiculing his physical de
fects.
Brown has not made speech dur
ing the campaign. Nor will he ALLOW
any one to speak for him. His cam
pa1gn is conducted entirely by opel
letters to the people through the pres
and by personal letters.
