CENSUS BUREAU PLANS INvEsTI. CATION OF EMPLOYMENT OF
 WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
MAKE CHANGE IN SCHEDULE
OiHerent Line of Inquiry to Be Fol. lowed by Collectors of Statistics for the Coming Census
 Revision.

Washington, b. C.-Dreetor Du- rand, of the census bureau, will make an effort to get more accurate infor. nation regarding the employment of wome. and chlldren in manufacturing Institutions throughout the country. The bureau of labor, for a long time. has been engaged in collecting statis- ties in regard to child labor for which purpose $150000 was appropriated about two years ago. The statistics of the bureau of labor have not yet been compiled and published, but they were collected on a different basis from that employed in former cen suses, and that which will be em- ployed in the thirteenth census.
 "In the years 1900 and 1905," says Director Durand, the manufactures schedule called for the average num- Der of men, the average number of women, and the average number of children under 1G, employed each month in each establishment. Could this question have been answered ac- curately. it undoubtedly would have furnished information of greater value that that which we are now proposing to secure. To answer this interroga- tory with strict accuracy would. how ever. require the special agent or the manufacturer to go in detail through every pay roll of the year. counting the number of men, women and chil- dren separately on eaeh-the segrega- tion of those under 1G involving pc culiar difficulty, and averaging the count for each month.
The Forrest City times., 1909-10-22
chedule Revised.

"As revised, the schedule calls for the number of men, women and chi!- dren employed during one specific week only and for the total number employed, without distinction of age or sex, on the first pay roll of each month. The relative extent to which woman and children are employed will be ascertained approximately from the figures for the selected week; and, although that week may not, in some industries. be typical of the year as whole the accuracy of the figures will compensate for the sacrifice in the amount of information obtained.
 We have deemed it wise to omit the question regarding classified wages, to which l have just referred, and which appeared in the census schedules for 1900 and 1905. These schedules called for the number of employees during a selected week, clas- sified according to their earnings, and also separating men, women, and chil- dren under 16.

Too Much Difficulty.

This interrogatory, if correctly an swered would furnish information of great vaiue. However. for many es- tablishments. correct answers cannot be obtained by any amount Of effort, and for others the amount of effort necessary to obtain anaswefs would involve expense and delay precluded by the limitations of our appropria- lions and requirements as to .he date of publishing the results"

PariIe

The Union Veteran Legion, under
Gen. T. ]. Shannon, was in line on the
mornine of the stormy March 4. as part
of the escort of honor to the President
elect, but Gen. Shannon did not think
it at all wise to make the march. and
so called it off. When he made known
his decision there was such a protest
against it by the comrades themselves
that it was determined to march. and
the command fell in with Commander
E. III. Holbrook, of the Department of
the Potomac. The march was a terrible
one thru slush and snow against a Sc
we're gale, but the comrades made il
unflinchinglyn- Among the visiting com

vision, Twentieth Corps, which was as
signed to the center of Sherman's army.
His regiment was armed with Spencer
repeating rifles, and did great execution
on Corbett's 4th Ga. Battery at Resaca,
Ga.
Comrade Merryman received slight
wound in this battle, but not serious
enough to keep him from active duty.
He marched with Sherman's army to
the sea. thence north thru the Carolinas
and Virginia and on to Washington for
the Grand Review; was mustered out
in Washington, received his discharge
at Chicago, returned to his home June
Is, 1865, his goth birthday. He was
married year later; entered the en-
ploy of the Deere Plow Manufacturing
Co., of Moline, ILL.,, as mechanical fore
man and contractor, remaining with
the company II years.
He then emigrated to Kearney, Neb.,
and engaged in agriculture, the success
of which has placed him in good finan-
cial circumstances.
Comrade Merryman was every inch
a soldier, and is sociable, jolly good
fellow and will be great help to the
Department should he be elected De-
partment Commander.
