HURTS COTTON MILLS
ALABAaGA's CHILD LABOR LAW MAY
 wE TESTED
T. ", Pratt of HuntsvilTe Says En- fsfcemenf ef sfstmte yVflI Gsm- pe1 Plants to Clese--No
 Help to Chiidren

Huntsville, Jan. 2s.--(5pecial.)-- Should the new child labor law of Alabama be put in effect as construed by pr. c. F. Bush, inspector of cot ton mills, practically every cotton mill in the State will be compelled to close. That Is in substance the statement of T. w. Pratt. prominent cotton mill operator Of Huntsville. The situa- tion that confronts the cotton niIll men of Alabama Is one apparently in- possible of solution unless there is a more liberal interpretation of the law. The schools, in many instances main tained by the cotton mills themselves. are overdowing and the city schools are unable to aceommodate more pu- pills.
 Conditions in Huntsville are summed up in a few words. The appropriations made by the State are insufficient to l provide schools in the mill villages as they should be provided for and tho cotton mills pay the greater part of the expenses of the schools out Of their Individual treasuries.
 The cotton mill operators of Hunts- | ville, representing ehcut 50 per cent Of the spIndIes in Alabama, have decided kto act in concert and at a recent meet ing, T. W. Pratt was appointed to take the matter up with the State au- thorities and ascertain JHst what is intended by the State and what may be. expected by the min interests and other employees of child labor.
 In letter to c, E. Bush, inspector of cotton mills, Mr. Pratt has reviewed the present conditions and shows what kind of difficulties ,a face the mill men. He states 4hat a census of chN- dren of school age in Huntsville cot ton mills was recently taken, and It disclosed the fact that 800 Of tlrefn would be compelled to go to school during this year. Today every school 1 in the mill villages Is packed, while there is room for no more of them in the city schools. Most Of the schools close in June, and there is no psos- pect of any more school buildings be- ing put up In this district during the summer. What is true of Huntsville Is believed to be true of great ma jority of the other cotton mills in Ala bama.
 pr. Bush claims that every provision of the act must be obeyed to the letter. Sh ould a child become If~years of age on Nov 1, for instance, he cannot work the following year unless the eight weeks requirement. of the 18th year has been compiled with.
 Mr. Pratt thinks If this Interpreta- ton of the law Is put in effect, the act which was intended to result in benefit to the mill children of the state win be curse to many thousands of them. and will not only eauso them to lose jobs that have yielded them greater incomes than any other line of work open to them, but will result in 6 permanent injury to the cotton mill interests of the State. The law, he says, will cut the children out of em- pioyment and will not furnish them with schooling.
 Mfr Pratt. who has consulted attor- .neys in behalf of the cotton mill in- terests, expresses the opinion that the law Is defective.

NEW YORK WEEKLY REVIEW.

 New York. Jan. 2s.-The effects Of hq- uldation have been apparent at times. and also some aggressive selling for short &C., count. but despite this and some increase in the receipts at the interior townss tho mar kat has behaved very well. There Is talk hte South, but February and March commit ments. both for export and home account are believed to be very heavy. The gene ral belief is that the reaction of late has been so moderate, so far as net results are concerned, as to throw into clear relief once more the inherent strength of the .cct- ton position.

were all more or less injured Miss
Cleveland had an arm injured, Miss
