WOMEN LINE UP
TO BEAT PRlDHAM
HIRES CHILD AND FEMALE
LABOR AT LOW WAGES
International Label League Asks That
PitifuI Cries of the Weak Be
Heard on Election
Day

The International Women's Label
league yesterday distributed thousands
of circulars In Los Angeles headed,
Are You in Favor of Child Labor"
addressed to voters in the Fifth Super
visorial district in which Anthony
Schwamm is the Democratic candi-
date.
1t bears this statement:
IF you favor crushing the lives out
of women and children vote for Il. w,
Pridham for supervisor; If you are OPP
posed to child slavery and favor
the safeguarding of womanhood vote
against him."
The remainder of the circular is as
follows:
us there anything more pitiful than
the cry of a child? Nothing unless 1t
is that that cry should be unanswered
with help. Such is the condition of
the children who are not helped by
the child-labor law when 1T is not en-
forced.
'There is a child-labor law, but it
seems that the mere statement Is all
that can be said for it.
IF Il candidate for supervisor en-
ploys children and women in his es-
Establishment at such small wages that
they are unable to obtain the bare
necessities of life is he the man to
elevate to the position of supervisor?
If he conducts his private business in
such manner, is it not reasonable
to assume that he will also debauch
the wage-earners of the county IL he
is elected supervisor?
"These women and children are
without voice in law making or its
enforcement. They have not one word
to say or one act to perform so far
as betterifig themselves is concerned.
They may not realize at the time what
child slaVery-which is the real name
for child labor-really is doing for
them, but those few who survive the
misery and the wickedness of it will
sometime know and hate their kind be-
cause of it.
"If ever the world owed anybody a
living it owes it to the child.
when that child cannot get 1t with
out giving its very life for 1t almost
in infancy, If the victim of employers
greed does not live to reach his or her
majority, what will be the result? A
race of pessimsts and misanthropes-
If not iworse.
There will come time, If what we
read in the Bible is true. that en-
ployers will remember with infinite re-
greet and woe of the lives they ac-
tually have taken by stunning minds
and starving bodies.
'That time-if not in the courts of
man-will come in the tribunal of God
himself, when He may repeat Christ's
saying:
"'Suffer little children to come unto
me. for of such is the kingdom of
heaven"

Editor of The Herald:
Since President Roosevelt has inject
ed himself into the present political
campaign and is therefore a factor of
the campaign, and since he boasts that
his policies are to be . policies of
Taft, if by any curio~s circumstance
Taft should succeed. ] would like to
quote a few passages from one OF the
suppressed works of Roosevelt, in which
he evidently aired his own opinions to
a very great extent and which are no
doubt his policies" at least much OF
his career has shown these passages TO
be very plain statements of the plan OF
operation he is to follow.
These quotations are taken from
Roosevelts life of Gouverneur Morris,
"A prominent character at the time OF
the American revolution. The book was
published in 1883 in the American
Statesmen series and I had the pleas
ure of making a pamphlet of quota
tions from said book, which was dis
tributed broadcast by the Democratic
national committee in the campaign OF
1900 when Roosevelt was running for
vice president. These quotations speak
for themselves as to the mind of the
man, and it is well to notice in read
ing them that Roosevelt does not state
simply what Morris said and thought,
but brands every sentiment which his
own approval by some strenuous ad-
jective.
If these are Taft's policies, they
should be published abroad so that
everybody may read. The quotations
give are as follows:
In speaking of the trouble with Vermont
Morris spoke in congress:

acteristic contempt for half-measures, and
capacity for striking straight at the root
of things; Either let these people alone OF

cidng-it is of no consequence. success
