Commissioner Neil Compil-
ing Facts for Presentation
To Congress.
RESULT OF PROBE
MAY BE NEW LAW
Employment of Women Will Also
Come Under Scope of the
Investigation.

The report of the Commissioner of
Labor, Charles p. Nell, on the condi-
ton Of women and children in industry
viii be presented 10 Congress at its
regular session next winter The report
is one which has been called for by
resolution OF Congress. For months the
field agents of the office of the Com
missioner Of Labor have been busy in
gathering data for the report. That
data Is now being compiled and the
preparation of the report is in progress.
Practically all the facts necessary for
the report have been collected.
The coming Of the report will be
watched with great interest all over
the country, as we'll as by Congress It
self It is expected TO shed a clear light
on the facts of the employment Of
women and children IN the United
States II will be recalled that Presi-
dent Roosevelt was deeply interested in
this question and was largely nstru-
mental in having the investigation
brought about. He was convinced that
the employment Of women and children
under the conditions which many OF
them are employed under was calculated
10 cause the deterioration Of the people
fraught with the gravest of dangers to
the future Of the American people.
VIII Probe Conditions.
It is expected the report will also
make II possible accurately 10 judge
whether the work they are doing and
the conditions under which they are
doing Il are as dangerous and damaging
as has been represented.
Commissioner NeiIs report viii be
Of the more interest for the reason that
II the conditions Of women and children
IN the industries are as serious as they
are frequently said 10 be and as has
been represented at various times be-
fore Congress. there VIII doubtless re-
suit strong agitation for legislation by
the Federal Government
Legislation Probable.
A renewal Of the movement for Fed
eTal chill labor legislation is likely. II
viii be recalled that Senator Beveridge
of Indiaia has long been urging a Fed
ersi child labor law. Senator Beverfdge
has from time 70 time set before the
Senate portrayals OF the evils of child
labor in various industries and in vari-
Gus sections. But the legislation pro-
posed has always run up against the
constitutional difficulty Of regulating
child labor through the application Of
the interstate commerce clause Of the
Constitution, To what degree the move
ment for such legislation is revived will
depend on the nature of DR.. Nein's re-
port.
That the report viii show many con-
ditions which call for a remedy viii
without much question be proven cor
rect. Not only in Congress but in the
State Legislatures, viii 1t attract notice
II no Federal legislation results, it is
likely at least 70 further the movement
Tor more strict legislation touching the
labor Of women and children by the
States.

NO DEVIL?

The following was handed in for

it in n of his scrap books:
This is the latest announcement,
Men don't believe in the devil now,
as their fathers used to do;
l ..ey've forced the door of the broad
est creed to let his majesty thru.
There isn't a print of his clOven hoof
or a fiery dart from his bow,
TO be found in the earth or air today,
for the world has voted it SC.
But who is mixing the fatal draught
that palsies heart and brain;
And clouds the bier of each passing
year, with two hundred thousand
slain?
Who blights the bloom of the land
today with the fiery breath of hell.
If the devil isn't and never was: won't
somebody please arise and tell.
Who dogs the step of the toiling
saint and digs the pits for his
feet?
Who sows the tares ON the fields of
time, wherever God sows the
wheat?
The devil is voted not to be and of
course the thing is right.
But who is doing the kind of work
the devil alone should do?
are told that he does not go about
like a roaring lion now:
But whom shall We hold responsible
for everlasting row?
To be heard in home. in church. in
state. to earth's remotest bounds.
If the devil by vote is nowhere TO be
found.
Won't somebody step to the front
forthwith, make his bow and show
How the frauds and crimes of a single
day spring up?.
We want TO know.
The devil has been voted out and of
course, the devil is gone;
But the simple people would like to
know who is carrying his bust
ness on.
Now whoever knows please explain
this problem TO enquirers.
