CHILD LIFE VERSUS DOLLARS;

Labor Commissioners Forthcom-

BY w. s. Couch.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 8,
The battle over child labor is
about to begin again.
On one side are arrayed a few
heroic men who hate the traffic
in the bodies of American boys
and girls.
Against them stand brutal
manufacturers, backed by SNUG
politicians of high and low de-
gree, who are willing to enslave
the children of the poor, grind
their tender flosh upon industry's
dollar wheels, take from the
bleeding hands of babes, silks and
laces, autos and yachts, homes
and plenty for THEM SELVES
AND THEIR WIVES AND CHILL
DREN.
Labor Commissioner Chas. p.
Neill is about to report in COM
pliance with an order issued last
spring by the government bu-
reau of labor for an investigation
of conditions OF child and woman
labor.
The report will be sensational.
1t will describe conditions in
American factory life which will
make red-blooded men and pro-
tected women shudder with hor-

A switchman who was standin g

After an hour they found the
switchman sitting upright, packed

Fourteen more bodies have

STRUGGLE
AHEAD

NEW YORK, March 9.-Jacob
II. Schiff, whose remarks about
the situation in the orient have
stirred the papers of Toxic To
vigorous replies, declares today
that he did not predict war.
ut was simply my desire to
put the situation clearly before
the people of the United States, /"
said Schiff. 81 spoke only from
my own observation. i referred
to coming struggle, but not to
war. / wished to emphasize the
necessity of the people of the
United States meeting the situaA

Schiff sees o great industrial

to grow out of the Japanese

posed to have the sanction and

THREE FIRES KEEP
DEPARTMENT BUSY

The fire department was kept
busy last evening between the
hours of 6 and 8, answering three
calls. The first came from 1885
Commerce street, where an avn
inging over a secondhand store
was burning. The blaze caused
about 500 damage.
The second run was to 1913
South l street, to put out a small
chimney fire.
Then, at 1925, an alarm came
from the California building,
where a lot of paper in the ele-
vator shaft had become ignited.
The elevator boy, using an extin-
guisher, had the blaze out when
the department arrived.

lror.
1t will lshow how some 1900
900 American children are being
sacrificed; their blessed childhood,
their education, their physical,
mental, and, ofttimes, moral, de-
jvelopment stunted or completely
destroyed in the name of dollar
greed. The details of the report
are not now available, but it is
known that Commissioner Neill
has facts to present which will
startle the political protectors of
the evil practice and will doubt
less FORCE A CONGRESSIONAL
INVESTIGATION.
Neill says his evidence is COM
plete and he can support every
statement.
When it was noised about in
inner circles that the Neill re-
port was going to take the lid
off, the sinking child labor stu
alton, manufacturers and their
political aids essayed to head
Neill off.
They know Neill as a courage

was carefully planned.
Thos. r. Dawley a former EN-.

out with charges intended to dis

have, and to destroy the reputa-
ton of Commissioner Neill as
well.
Dawley's charges were carefully
Investigated on Neil's demand
under the direction of Secretary
Nagel. Several other dismissed
Iemployes appeared with Dawley to
support his charges.
Neill, by his own choice, was
not represented. Members of his
staff were assured their commits

timony. The verdict was that
Dawley had made no case, nor
even the shadow of a case. At
the same time the Dawley charges
will figure prominently in the
fight. The manufacturers are
overlooking nothing.

voked the law in an endeavor to
collect $62.50 for the non per-

of Manager Timmons of the Pan

the position of illustrated song

Over in England they hold to
the theory that the speaker of the
house of commons is a presiding
officer in fact as we'll as in name.
There the speaker is not the
house. All he does is to try to
preside over the deliberations of
the lower house of parliament
with as much fairnes and imparti-
atty as he can command, entirely
disregarding the political side of
any issue before the house.
Jas. VIM. Lowther, who has
Just been reelected speaker of
the British house of commons,
has served in parliament for the
past "a years. He was deputy
speaker for 10 years and has been
unanimously chosen speaker at
the opening of each parliament

NOW SETTLED UPON

After nomination, withdrawal

of President Taft's customs court
today is practically the same as
that announced by the president
some time ago. Judge Robert M.
Montgomery, of Michigan, howev-

presiding judge of the court.
After Taft had nominated the
members of the court congress

passed a bill reducing the salary
attaching to the position from the
figure expected by the president.
Taft withdrew his nominations
on the ground that they had been
made on the expectation of a high
er salary for the appointees.
Today, however, he re-nominat-
ed the same men, thereby indicat-
ing that they had expressed a
willingness to serve for the re-
