CHILD LABOR
HORRORS PICTURED
Federation of Women's Clubs Urged
To Take Action In
Matter
A HISTORY OF LEGISLATION.
An Address BY Senator A. J. Beverage
of Indiana on The
Subject.
A HISTORY OF LEGISLATION

Senator Albert j. Beverage of In
diana delivered an address on Ma
tional Legislation on Child Labor" be-
fore the General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs at Boston, his remarks be-
ing in part as follows:
AT the lowest estimate more than
one million children between the ages
of five and fourteen are being killed
or ruined in American factories, mills,
sweat shops and on the coal breakers
of the mines Every years ten thou
sand die of overwork and poor food.
Every year more than two hundred
thousand reach maturity broken in
body, stunted in mind and debased in
soul. We are adding to our citizen
ship nearly a quarter of a million of
degenerates every year In the Ameri-
can republic at the beginning of the
goth century precisely the condition of
child labor exists that shamed England
at the beginning of the 10th century.
But the English people have ended
this infamy throughout the United
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-07-21

Kingdom. The American people must
end it throughout our entire republic.
1t took the English reformers under
Shaftesbury so years to stop this out
rage; it ought not to take the Ameri-
can people five years to do the same
thing And it will not take us five
years to do it if American wOmanhood
determine to end it,
Those who try to prevent this re-
form say that the states and not the
nation must end child slavery. But
it is not confined to a single state. It
exists in many states-more states
than maintained black slavery 80
years ago. These states have not stop
ped it-cannot stop It,
The interests that thrive on child
labor are so powerful in the states
where this practice is worst that they
prevent effective laws from passing,
or if passed, from being executed.
Again, if one state passes a good law
and enforces it, and another state does
not, the manufacturers of the state
with good laws are at a business as
advantage with the manufacturers of
the state that has bad laws or no laws
for the manufacturers of the latter
state can use infant labor at childhood
wages, while the manufacturer of the
former state must use adult labor at
manhood wages. When Tennessee
passed a good law and enforced it car
loads of children in charge of over
seers were shipped like cattle from
Tennessee to the cotton mills of South
Carolina. Nothing but a national
law can stop this national evil.
The District of Columbia law
which we passed in the closing days
of the last session was reluctantly
passed to stop this agitation. 1t is a
little step in the right direction, but
amounts to nothing as practical rem
edy. Preventing child labor in the
District of Columbia does not prevent
child slavery in the cotton mills OF
the south, the silk mills, glass factories
and sweat shops of the north, or on
the coal breakers of Pennsylvania. 1t
is useless to say that the district of
Columbia will be an example for the
child labor states to follow, for these
states have had even better and have
not followed those examples. Moral
example means nothing to the men
who are pilig up unrighteous profits
from the labor of little children. Moth
ing but direct law which will per-
sonally affect them means anything to
these men.
Those who oppose national child
labor laws say that the constitution
prevents the nation from ending this
evil, but the same kind of men have
said precisely the same thing concern
ing every great evil which the nation
has ended in the past When the ma
ton tried to end the curse of lotteries
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-07-21

precisely the same arguments word
Tor word, were made against a national
law to keep lottery tickets out of inter-
state commerce that are now advanced
against the proposed law to keep child
made goods out of interstate CONF
merce. The same was true when the
nation proposed to end the shame of
obscene literature in the same way.
The same mas been true of every at
tempt of the nation to stop by national
laws every national evil in our history
But every time those laws are taken
to the supreme court that tribunal d1,
cided that they were constitutional. In
our entire history the supreme court
has never overthrown a single national
law which kept any article out of in
terstate commerce.
In the last quarter of a century
congress has passed more than 20 laws
keeping various articles out of inter
state commerce, and these laws are
now in effect and being enforced.
Some of these laws keep out of inter
state commerce articles which are
harmless to the health or morals of
the people, such as the law prohibiting
from interstate commerce gold and
silver goods with certain marks upon
them. we also prohibited from inter-
state commerce meat. cattle and dairy
products until they nave been inspect
ed although these things may be
found to be perfectly healtnful.
"Of all the laws now on our statute
books keeping various articles out of
interstate commerce, not one was re-
sisted in congress or in the courts
excepting only those which ended evil
practices from which financial inter-
ests were coming unhoiy profits. This
was true of the lottery law, the OBJ
scene literature law and many others
Unless some evil financial interest
that is hurting the people is attacked
! no so called constitutional lawyer
sees any constitutional objection to it
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-07-21

and no politician sees in it any dan
gerouS tendency toward Capitalization
But whenever an evil financial interest
is attacked these so called constitu-
tiOnal lawyers at once declare that
the constitution is violated and these
politicians who expect campaign con-
tributions from. these financial interests
at once see dangers to our liberties
When anybody tells you that Z:
national child labor law is unconstitu-
tional, answer them that the supreme
court of the United States has de-
cided in 81 cases that the power of
congress over interstate commerce is
absolute; answer them that the SUI
preme court has never yet overturned
a single law of congress which kept
any article out OF interstate COM
cerce; answer them that there are
now on our statute books more than
score of laws exercising, this very
power more fully than the proposed
child labor law. Ask them why they
are not willing to pass such law and
let the supreme court decide its con-
stitutionality Ask them why they
are not willing to pass the child labor
law when congress unanimously
passed without any objection whatever
the gold and silver goods law, which
is a far more rigid exercise of the
very power of congress which they
now deny
Remember what this means Re
member that thousands of little girls
seven years old, and some as young as
five, are pulled from their beds at
O'Clock in the morning, fed coarse
fooG driven to distant factories and
compelled to work, standing on their
feet, from 6 o'clock in the morning
until o'clock at night; and that other
shifts of little children work from 6
O'Clock at night until in the morn
ing. Remember that tens of thousands
of little girls and boys from five to II
years of age never heard the word
fplayI' and do not know what it
means Remember that these children
are morally brutalized and mentally
benumbed; that every year thousands
die outright, and hundreds of thou
sands become degenerates and the
parents of still other degenerates. Re-
member that all this is established by
the sworn statement of many wit
nesses. Remember that there are plenty
of men and women to do the work
these innocents are forced to do and
the only reason for child slavery i'm
this republic is greed,
And remember as you go out on
this holy crusade that this greed Will
fight you every inch of the ground
and every hour of the daylight you
with sOphistry in argument, falsehood
in statement, fight you with abuse,
with cunning, with money and with all
but force. We cannot end child slavery

RICH GOLD STRIKE

Mining Ore Which Runs ST.
900 Per Ton; Have Three
and a Half Foot Ledge,

County Assessor r. E. Merritt, who
has returned from trip to the northern
part of the county reports gold strike
in the vicinity of Payson which will
probably prove to be one of the rich
est ever made in this section of the
country. The strike was made on prop
erty belonging to Supervisor w. G..
Colcord and his brother II. s. Colcord,
in Round Valley about five miles
southeast of Payson, the ore being en-
countered in a tunnel on one of a
group of three claims belonging to the
Colcord brothers. A three and half foot
ledge was struck, which carries high
grade gold ore. Several assays were
made, the lowest of which shows $50
gold value and already fifteen tons of
ore which average $1,000 a ton has
been extracted from the tunnel. There
were two and half feet of snow in
the ground when Mr.. Merritt left, but
it was not impeding the work to any
great extent.
The strike was made on claim on
which practically no work had been
done, although for three years Mr.. Col
cord has worked surrounding claims. \
ten stamp mill which was shipped into
Payson by the Single Standard com
pany, is being put into shape at the
property of that company, which Is

YAQU|s ACTIVE
MANY MURDERS
Dr. Clements, Who Arrives in
Globe, Tells Of Recent
DepredationS.

DIR. j. Morgan Clements, the well
known mining engineer, who was very
prominent in the initial work of the
Globe Consolidated company two years
ago, arrived in the city last evening
from a trip to Mexico and will be here
several days before returning to New
York. DIR. Clements reports that the
Yaauis are more active than ever in
Sonora and that military guards are
necessary on trains on the Sonora road
between Guaymas and Nogales.
Numerous murders have been recent
" committed by the Yaquis and in one
place on the Sonora road an entire Sec
ton gang was murdered. The Indians
are not molesting Americans, however
as was evidenced in the ease of one
of their raids, when they killed several
Mexicans and allowed the one Amer
lean with them, to go uninjured. Con
sequently the activity in the mining in
dustry is not sunering greatly through
the depredations of the Yaquis.
Hundreds of Yaquis are being deport
ed, according TO DR.. Clements, but those
who are being herded together anC
shipped to Yueatan or the lsthmus OF
Tehauntepec are all peaceful ind'a
who are employed on ranches.
