ABOLISH CHILD LABOR,
URGE PRESBYTER|ANS
IN STRONG TERMS
Protection of Children from
Exploitation in Industry and
from Work That Is Degrad-
ing Is Advocated.

ATLANTIC CITY, N J., May 8.-The
Presbyterian general assembly sought to
finish all remaining business at this
mornings session. in order that final ad-
journment may be taken. The principal
question yet to be decided is the place
for holding the next assembly. Several
western cities are mentioned with Chi
cago the favorite.
the report of the committee on social
problems was adopted as follows:
The church declares that the getting
OF wealth must be in obedience to Chris
tian Ideals, and that all wealth, from
whatever sources acquired must be held
or administered as a trust from God for
the good OF fellow-men. The church
protests against undue desire for wealth
and, untempeerd pursuit OF gain and the
immodeTate exaitation of riches; and
calls for more equitable distribution of
wealth.
THE church declares for the abolition
of child labor-that is, the protection of
children from exploitation in industry
and trade, and from work that is dwarf
ing. degrading or morally unwholesome.
THE church declares for the employ
ment of the methods OF Cancellation and
arbitration in Industrial disputes.
THE church declares for the release
of every worker from work one day In
seven and 1t declares further for ade-
quate protection of working people from
dangerous machinery and Objectionable
conditions of labor.
Tho church declares for some pro-
vision by which the burden imposed by
injuries and deaths from individual &C
cidents shall not be permitted to rest up
on the injured person or his family"

GERMANY HAS AMERICAN
FARMERS ON THE HIP
Fertilizer Men Say the Situa-
ton Involving Price of Pot
ash Looks Pretty Rocky

The meeting Of fertilizer manufactur-
ers in the Piedmont noteI Thursday was
very brief. They had been called to-
gether to discuss the situation in Ger
many, involving potash, a necessary in
gredient OF all high-grade fertilizer; but
it didn't take them long to arrive at the
conclusion that no matter how much
they discussed the s--uation. they could
not do anything to relieve IL.
Getting right down to brass tacks. the
fertilizer men realize that tn cir last and
only resort is interference by the United
States government. But IL what the
state department has already done-or.
rather. failed to dos to be taken as ali
indication or what the department Is
willing to do, then they believe there
isn't much hope in this direction.
Through the ambassador to Germany
the state department recently filed a for
mar and polite protest against the ex-
port tax OF $40 per ton on muriate OF
potash and kainit. The bill providing
for this tax was at that time pending.
1t is still pending. The chances seem
to be that 1t will keep on pending
until II is made law.
The formal and polite protest from
the state department, say the fertilizer
men, appears not to have amounted to
anything. Iney are convinced IL VIII
amount to nothing, unIess made several
degrees stronger and couched in less
formal language.
A COMPLICATED SITUATION.
The situation in Germany Is ex-
treme1y complicated" said Col. W. l..
eel, one Of the leading fertilizer manu-
facturers in the south. The truth is II
is controlled by trust, and a trust fos-
tered by the government. The answer to
