rebuilding shall find their fruitage in
an outburst Of achievement such as
our fathers yearned for, and it is
now our high privilege to help bring

Report on Labor in Cotton Mills.


The report of the bureau of labor
on the employment of women and
child labor in the cotton textile in
dustry has been sent to Congress BY
Secretary Nagel, of the department
of commerce and labor.
A summary of the report prepared
by the bureau shows that in forty-
six New England mills investigated
43.3 per cent of all the operatives
were females over 16 years of age,
and 5.2 per cent were children under
10 years, while in 152 Southern mills
women constituted 81 per cent of the
total and children 20 per cent.
The greater percentage of children
in the Southern States is accounted
for by the fact that, at the time of
the investigation, it was legal and
customary in those States to employ
children II and 13 years old, while
In New England employment could
not legally begin before IA years.

Government Makes Money.


The government swung a little bus
iness project on its own account in
connection with the building Of the
great Roosevelt dam on the Salt
River irrigation project, and all that
remains for that particular part of
the job is to close it out at q profit.
Secretary Ballinger has taken the
first steps to that end.
1t required nearly 4OO& barrels
of cement for the work on the pro-
ject, and the best bid the reclama-
tion service could get from outsiders
was $4.89 barrel. So the engineers
set up a mill, and turned out all the
cement the job required, and the cost,
figuring the mill and all, was only
$3.50 a barrel.
Now Secretary Ballinger has order
ed the mill sold at public sale. Not
only did the government save money
Tor itself, for the settlers, who will
have to pay back the reclamation
charges. The government saving in
the manufacture of cement alone was
$675,O00. The proceeds from the
sales of the mill will add to them
still more.
