Sioner for Statement as

MEETING is BITTER
TOWARD SECRETARY

ar Conservation Congress-Praise
Pinchot and Newell

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. t.-Op-
ponents Of Secretary of Interior Bal
linger in the Seventeenth National
Irrigation Congress today landed
hard on Acting Land Commissioner
Schwartz for his statement of yes
terday in behalf of his chief in which
ii was alleged that tie power site
iiled in the Bozeman land office was
a sheep watering tract.
Led by Ex-Governor Pardee, of
California, the critics of Secretary
Ballinger declared that this tract of
1858 acres, filed upon by the Col
lins Land Company for George L.
Ramsey, of Helena, was necessary
for filling out the holdings of the
power company and to prevent an
entering wedge Of competition.
PARDEE SHOWS LETTER.
Mr.. Pardee showed that q letter
from the General Land ONCE di-
rected that all but forty acress of
this fling be allowed. The dele
gates to the congress wound up the
meeting with a continued attack on
the Ballinger administration. It
was freely predicted that the fight
between Forester Pinchot and Sec
retary BalIinger VIII not reach its
elimination until week after next
at the National Conservation Con-
gress at Seattle. when developments
of real sensational nature will
come out.

In view Of the attack made By the
washington officials on tne criticisms
Of Esallinger's action IN the Bozeman
incident, which wax iaerely made by
the opponents Of the Secretary OF the
Interior as an instance Of the Power

States Senator George Turner, one
of Secretary Bauingers defenders.
declared that the land could not
have been entered on that date,
because it vas not subject TO entry
under the law so soon after il had
been restored, whereupon PardJe read
from a copy of letter indorsed by
Secretary Ballinger, ordering the land
restored Immediately without tne for
mallty OF advertising its restoration.
Practically the whole period Of the
Congress was devoted 70 the fight be-
tween Pinchot, who Is looked upon as
the embodiment of the Roosevelt policy
Of conservation, and Secretary Bauin-
ger. WhOst ideas have been proven radi-
cally different from those entertained
By his predecessor, Secretary Ga field.

CHILD LABOR Law
TO BE MORE RIGID

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, March 12.-There was a
spirited argument yesterday afternoon
over the House bill to amend the Child
Labor law, which was passed by the
House. Among other things It raises the
age of employment OF children to four
teen years, and provides that no child
under the age of sixteen shall be en-
ployed at ANY gainful occupation" un-
less the child shall have had 14O days
schooling in the year prior to going to
work. The bill also requires applicants
under sixteen for certificates to go to
work TO be able to read and write Eng
lish and to work arithmetic.
Mr.. spruance and Mr.. Brockson ear
nestly advocated the Bill, and Mr.. Con-
nelly as bitterly opposed it. Mr. Spru-
ance contended that it was necessary
to protect the children in their tender
years so that the future fathers and
mothers Of the country may be sturdy
and healthy. He also spoke OF the prac-
tice Of some parents putting children at
work at tender age to wiring dollars
from their labor
Mr.. Connolly resented the latter re-
mark, so far as It could apply to his
constituents. He lauded the Polish resi-
dents OF Wilmington saying they are
thrifty, Industrious and anxious to edu-
cate their children, many OF whom can
read and write Polish but not English,
as they have not been in this country
long enough.
Mr.. Brockson made some remarks
along the line that the children Of for
eigners intending to become Americans
should learn the English language. His
remarks were applauded. Speaker Cooper
and representative Ainscow also spoke
/ for the bill.
A letter was read from the Executive
Committee Of the Central Labor Union
Of Wilmington, Of which Thomas Taylor
lis president. regarding child labor legis
lation. The letter stated that the Cen
tral Union advocated changes that woul,
give the factory inspector $1,000 a yea
and a woman assistant at 500 a year
They should have public office wher
they could be called on at regular hours
and should be required to publish re
port OF their Investigations and act
monthly, and devote their entire tim
to the job. 1.-The Legislature shoult
take as much interest in children as ii
parades Of the militia or the protection
Of swapping turtles" the letter stated
II asserted that the present law is
farce. and under it the money expende,
for the factory inspector is wasted
EITHER amend the act to make it effec
tive or wipe it Off the books" the lette
concluded.
The bill was passed by vote OF 2
to Z, those voting against the bill beinl
Messrs. Connolly. Hopkins. Marsh. Min
ner, Mcdonald, Truitt and Williamson.

ton yesterday afternoon was given a

that already has passed the House TO
tax automobiles on basis Of their actual

property is taxed the Levy Court in each
county to tx the tax rate on motor cars

ton, were spokesmen against the bill,
and declard it unfair and unjust They
argued that the county might as well

The automobilists already pay their
State license fees.
Senator DreXler, who is opposed to the
bill. said that his two automobiles at
Bethany Beach already are taxed by
Sussex county on basis OF their esti-
mated value and he has been Obliged
to pay taxes on them as personal prop
erty.
