NEW JERSEY IN LINE.
Children Under Fifteen May No Longer
Work at Night.


New Jersey takes step forward.
An effort has been made for five
years to restrict night employment of
children In factories which operate a
double shift, writes owen R. Lovejoy
In the Survey. This has been opposed
by glass manufacturers on the ground
that the industry could not succeed I'M
less children under sixteen years were
permitted to work at night.
The committee was able to show that
the glass industry has steadily in
creased In states which forbid such
employment-notably in Ohio and ILL
nois-and after lively campaign in
which the New Jersey child labor COM
mittee and the Consumers league, la
Dor unions, women's clubs, churches
and other organizations took an active
part, law was passed providing that
after July 4 no child under fifteen
years Of age may work at night and
after July 4, 1911, no child under six
teen may be so employed.
This places New Jersey with Illinois.
New York and Ohio among the glass
manufacturing states which forbid
child labor at night and gives the most
substantial encouragement yet re-
ceived to the effort which will be put
forth next year to secure similar legis-
lation in Pennsylvania. Indiana and
West Virginia.

UNIONS FOR WOMEN.
Only Way to Gain Their Rights, Says
Rose Schneiderman.


Rose Schneiderman. a prominent
leader in the Women's Trades Union
League and one of the strike leaders
who contributed to the success Of the
general strike of shirtwaist girls In
New York city, is conducting an agita-
ton tour of the country for the pur-
pose OF exhorting working girls all
over the country to join the ranks Of
organized labor.
Miss Schneiderman in her appeal to
the 100000 working girls of the
country to form unions says: 1.-THE
need for organization among the wom-
en- wage earners is just as great in
Holyoke mills as in New York sweat
shops. The girls must take united ac-
ton. II one girl should demand a if
ty-two hour working week the en-
ployer would tell her she was crazy
and could look for a job somewhere
else. But If all girls demanded IF.

their demands. The women wage
earners must learn the value of bar
gaining collectively, of the strength Of
working together and of the power Of
the working people.
1.-THE employer doesn't want his girls
TO organize because he knows their
power. He will give all sorts of brides
In order to prevent organization
among these is welfare work He Is
willing to pay girls doctors bill, but
he has ruined her health by hard
work; he will furnish a couch for them
to faint on when overcome by long
hours; he will give money to hospitals
to take care of the injured; but he will
not give fair wages and short hours"
There are 100000 wage earning
women in the United States.

SAFETY APPLIANCE LAW.
Makes Railroads Responsible For De-
fectivs Equipment.

fectivs Equipment.
The legislative agents of the various
labor organizations at Washington are
distinctly pleased over the agreement
in congress on the so called safety APP
pliance legislation. This new law Is
called IAN act to promote the safety OF
employees and travellers upon rail-
roads" 1t is amendatory to the exist
ing law, which compels railroads en-
gagged In interstate commerce to equip
their cars with automatic couplers ana
continuous brakes and locomotives
with driving wheel brakes.
One of the chief objects of the new
legislation is to bring about uniformity
In equipment. Some Of the new re-
quirements provided under the legisla-
ton are:
First.-That in the loading and haul
ing of long commodities requiring
more than one car the hand brakes
may be omitted on all save one Of the
cars while they are thus combined Tor
such purposes.
Second.-The interstate commerce
commission receives authority after
hearing to modify or change and to
prescribe the standard height of draw
bars and to fix the time within which
any modification shall become obliga-
tory.
Third.-Where any car shall have
been properly equipped as provided In
this legislation or by preceding laws
and the equipment shall have become
defective while the car is being used
by any carrier upon its line of rail-
road the car may be hauled from the
place where the equipment was first
discovered to be defective or insecure
| to the nearest available point where
the car can be repaired without liabil-
ity for the penalties imposed by the
law.
Fourth.-The movement or hauling
Of q car with defective equipment Is
to be at the sole risk of the carrier,
and nothing In the act is to be con-
strued to relieve such carrier from liza
bility in any remedial action.
Fifth.-The hauling of defective cars
by means of chains instead of draw
bars in revenue trains or In associa-
ton with other cars that are CONNER
cially used unless the defective cars
obtain live stock or perishable freight
is prohibited.
The legislative agents Of the employ
ees on the railroads have represented
to congress for long time that many
Of the fatalities OH the roads were the
result Of defective equipment. The
railroads, 1t is asserted, took long
chances If car with defective
equipment was urgently needed 1t was
allowed to continue in service. The
railroad employees are hopeful that
the interstate commerce commission
will enforce the new law rigidly. The
commission will. Of course. afford the
roads reasonable opportunity tC
make their equipment conform to the
provisions Of the new legislation.

The NEW FORESTER

With Henry Scott Graves, new for

Elected prominence untU few days
ago when he assumed the duties of his
office, for so much was heard of Gift
ford Pinchot and his now historic
fight against Secretary of Interior
Richard Ballinger that the general
public heard very little of the first
assistant chief of the forestry bureau
although he is an unusually capable
man and occupied the chair of Fores-
try at Yale university i'm addition to
his government position.
When Mr.. Pinchot stepped down and
and out Mr.. Graves succeeded him and
began To run the forestry bureau af-
ter his own ideas; so although he has
scarcely been i'm his new position long
enough to be known by all of his sub
ordinates, he has made them sit up,
and take notice" because he is show
ing himself entirely i'm accord with
the Pinchot theory of conservation
with the difference that he displays no
desire to burn alive those who disa-
gree with him on matter of forest
policy. In fact Graves and Plhdhot

this country. Graves was the second.
They have studied together and are
close friends. Graves IS not as apt to
use a tacllhammer on an opponent in
debate as is Pinchot, but he is equally
ardent i'm his belief that the forests of
the nation must be preserved.
Henry Scott Graves is thirty-nine
years old. Although born i'm Marietta,
Ohio, he was brought up in Andover,
Mass. so New England claims him.
He studied at Yale and Harvard, then
went abroad to be taught i'm the Ger
man schools how to hold an ailing
forest still long enough To drop calomel
on its tongue. He and Pinchot spent so
many of their school days together
that when PinchOt was made United
states forester. Graves became his
chief assistant. In this capacity he
thoroughly familiarized. himself with
the forest country Of the west, which
makes him the hest possible man for
the place he now holds. Jdi u
