Child Labor Still
Menace to South,
Says Georgian
A. J. McKelway Tells Of Conditions
in Oyster Canneries, Cigar Fac
tories and Cotton Mills.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 13.-The session
of the National Conference of Charities
and Correction meeting here this evening,
was in charge Of the committee on chill
dren. During the evening A. j. McKelway
of Atlanta, Ga, secretary of the National
Child Labor committee, for the southern
states, attacked the institution of child
labor In the south. He contradlcted the
claim of southern manufacturers that con-
ditions there nave been exaggerated, that
the numbers of toiling children are rapidly
decreasing and the evil itself disappearing,
by showing many stereopticon views of
actual conditions In three OF the larger
industries.
Mr.. McKelway said in part, The Amer
lean intelligence appreciates the evils of
the system, in racial degeneracy, perpet-
uated poverty, growth of illiteracy, the
disintegration of the family, the increase
OF crime, the lowering Of the wage scale
and the swelling army of the unemployed.
THE oyster packing industry in the
south is extensive along the gulf coast,
The wages today are below the standard of
American living, and the workers are
mainly Bohemians brought from Balti-
more. During the summer season they are
CIHplOytu III luC lIulN dllu NS6SNdblS All
ming industry Of Maryland, whose child
labor law has a special exemption for the
canning industry. The communities where
they are employed testify to the pitiful
plight in which the workers often find
themselves, Their children are numerous,
and from eight years old and upwards
are employed In shucking the oysters piled
upon tram cars, after having been run
through a steam-heated chamber. Out of
one force of $50 hands at work, l counted
thirty-five children not over ten years old,
apparently From the peculiar conditions
Of their employment, they have absolutely
no chance for an education.
This cigar industry in Tampa. Key West,
and to a lesser degree in Richmond, Peters
burg and Danville, Virginia, employs a
large number OF children. In Tampa alone
the number OF children under IA increased
in two years from a few score to over q
thousand. Formerly, only Spanish and
Cuban children were employed, but now d
great number Of the native white people OF
Florida have moved to Tampa that theil
children may learn this trade, The in
evitable effect will be the lowering Of tht
wage scale in what is now a high-wageC
Industry.
The students Of the child labor problem
know that the cotton mill has always beef
cursed with child labor and its natural &C
compartment of long hours and low wages
On account Of non-enforcement of laws
themselves defective. southern cotton mill
are conspicuous for the employment 0
children. Hundreds Of them rave beel
photographed at work, within the last year
and they are but typical Of tens Of thou
sands Of them working from ten to twelv
hours a day, or night. The evil is to,
great TO be concealed. and the children to-
numerous to be hidden. There is no pos
sible excuse for such wholesale abuse o
childhood"

Emperor Will

Wilhelm Scheduled to Tell Them
How Much He Loves the
British People.

BERLIN, June 13.-The emperor will re-
ceive sixty visiting British c%lergymen at
the palace at Potsdam tomorrow, His mai
esty will make a speech of goodwill to-
ward Great Britain, although probably he
will make no mention of recent alarms in
England over Germany's naval construc-
ton,
The German government has been wait
ing for some opportunity to make further
expression Of the country's pacific aims
toward all the powers, and this is consld-
cred a favorable occasion, clearly and un-
equivocably. to set forth the kindly feeling
entertained by Germany toward Great
Britain.
1t is hoped both by words and a peaceful
and just policy to win the British people
to the belief that no aggressive designs are
entertained against their country.

CRUSADE FOR PURE MILK
City Solicitor Kimball Drafting 0rdi-
nance Regulating Diaries.
REQUIRES TUBERCULIN TEST
Dsirymen, Health Omcials and Others
VIII Hold Conference at the
Mayors once This
Evening.

AS one result Of the recent lecture in
this city by DR.. J. W. Kline Of Fort Dodge
on Animal tuberculosis and the MIX
Supply the municipal authorities are plan
ming a crusade against the sale Of impure
milk in Council Bluffs. City Solicitor Kim
ball is drafting an ordinance requiring the
tuberculin test OF all cows in diaries sup
plying milk In Council Bluffs.
Mr.. Kimball said yesterday that he would
be unable to have the ordinance ready to
Introduce at the meeting Of the city coun-
ell tonight, but expected to complete II
before the end OF the week. In order that
the proposed measure might be discussed
with q view to having 1t meet the situa-
ton as nearly as possible a meeting of
city officials, including the health off
GERS, dairymen and others interested in
the question of pure milk is being ar
ranged for tomorrow evening by Mayor
Maloney and City Solicitor Kimball. The
meeting will probably be held at the city
hail.
AS at present outlined the ordinance will
require licenses for all dealers supplying
milk in the city. All milk sold in the city
will be required to be produced from cows
which have been subjected to the tuber-
culin test and all dealers will be required
W SHOW CeIIHlCateS tnat tnelr cattle nave
been so tested before they will be issued
licenses.
The ordinance will also provide regula-
lions for the sanitary condition of all
diaries which will be subject to regular
inspection by a city official. 1t is Mr..
Kimball's intention, so he said yesterday,
to frame the ordinance so that 1t will
bear equally on dealers whose dairies are
located in Council Bluffs and on the firms
and dairles which, located in Omaha and
in the country adjoining the city, supply
milk to patrons in this city.
To test the full value of a dollar you
should let c. Jensen do your painting The
painting proposition is one that puzzles
many people, on account of the materials
and work that some painters furnish
that is, they do the jobs as quick as they
can and gee the money as quick as they
can and furnish materials as cheap as
they can. We do not work or sell under
those principles. Our way is to guarantee
the material and work and satisfy the
customers. Our price and the work we
do holds our trade and our customers al
ways have a good word to speak for c.
Jensen, when it comes to painting in or
