boys who ought to be in school, and also
declared that it had been proven to the
satisfaction of glass manufacturers that
very young boys are not necessary to
the success of the business. He said
further that more machinery has got to
come, and is coming rapidly, including
devices to take the place of the carrying
in boys, but these have not yet been
perfected, although they are used now
in a few works in Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania. a clerk employed in this
factory said the manager hired no young
girls and always preferred male employees
to young women whenever available.
There is much hope for better conditions
to be derived from the attitude and the
system of these two factories; but the
industry is extensive in this state; the
plants numbering fifty in all, and it may
be a long time before their wholesome
influence is generally felt.

looked TO be ten years old, and several
apparently between eleven and fourteen.
There were also number of young girls
ranging III age from twelve to eighteen
years, working with men and boys in the
packing and grinding rooms. AS the
language of boys employed in glass
works IS seldom clean AM wholesome
the moral atmosphere is decidedly not
OF the best, and the influences at work
among these young glr.s are extremely
bad. In the packing room of certain

reason for complaint, otherwise such a

In spite of the fact that most of the
public schools were in session at the
time, there We're found in the factories
many children from twelve to thirteen
years OF age. Two small boys of twelve

suddenly that she was only thirteen, and
was instantly reprimandcd by man at
her side, who whispered to her to say
fourteen. One who is interested in
the child labor problem, and who has
made personal inquiry into conditions in
the homes, told the writer that she had
the names of twenty-five boys from nine
to thirteen years of age who are work
ing i'll glass foctory of the town in
which she resides. They work all

When asked how they managed to keep

These lads declared there were about
sixty employees under fourteen years of
age working in that one glass factory.
or the twenty-five boys interviewed, not
one could read write. This is most
significant when it is considered that in
the United States census report for 1900.
West Virginia with respect to illiteracy
stood thirty-third in the list c. fifty
states ana territories, having a percent
age of ia based upon the total popula-
t'on OF the state ten years of age and
over. In the same report, 10 per cent

32-3 peg cent of the coiored population
were given as illiterate, The officers of
some glass works refuse admittance to
visitors, particularly 10 certain parts of
their plants, stating that they have trade
secrets which they do not want to have
revealed; in these same factories young
boys We're found who Were either below
the age limit or dangerously close to it.
In one factory were found employed a
man and his five sons, the boys ranging
IN age from II years up. Four of them
earned $3.50 each daily; one, $l.25, and
the farther wages amounted to $1.75
daily. The combined wages of the six
amounted to 1920 daily The family
consists of the farther, mother and seven
children, the two other children being
smaller than those employed. They live
IN one-ha.f of a tumbIed- down house,
and the children are peing reared in
comparative Ignorance. Political econ
ony proves that child labor lowers wa
ges; il boys were not emp.oyed, the
wages of men would be higher, and faith
ers would be able to maintain comforta-
bic homes and educate their children.
The father earns $175: his boys, $i45 !
What a pitiable comparsion!
The greed of parents and the cold in
difference of the employer are depriving
these young boys of the benefits they
might secure from education-robbinp
them of the better wages they might
earn in few years as a result of the
increased intelligence and efficiency
that would be acquired at school. Con.
dltions such as obtain in this family are
not necessary. They are the result of
ignorance, and ignorance not only on
the part of the parents but on the part
of the public as we'll. AS long as the
public is ignorant of abuses, and indif-
1erent as to consequences, these con-
ditions will continue and the state must
be the loser thereby.
The conversation of the manufacturer
IS most remarkable. We Americans al
most lnvariable pride ourselves upon
the enlightenment and progressiveness
which we think characterize the Ameri.
can manufacturing spirit, and yet the
manufacturers who are willing to ex-
pertinent and to change their long-fol
lowed customs for the sake of improving
conditions are the exception rather than
the rule. But the few in the end force
the other to follow. For these except.

is to be found at Morgantown This is
Il cooperative concern, making bottles
and tableware, in which the employer
cooperates with the employees to the
end that there shall be no work at night.
When asked why this was done, one of
the workmen said, eve got tired of
working nights, and SO we started this

The men cannot do their most careful
work at night for they cannot see so
we'll - This arrangement proves that
conditions can be made better, and this
without losing business. The prevention
of night work is long step in advance,
and child labor reforms must also come.
The substitution of machines for hand
labor has been steadily revolutionizing
glass manufacture for several years past.
The manager of one factory said that
one half of the bottles he manufactured
were made by machine blowers; yet he
still employed boys to carry the ware
to the leers. Asked why he did not use

said that the use of machinery involved

require such skilled labor. Carryinp-in
boys are still employed, however, although
the manager said that in time they
would probably install machines to do
their work also. .'In fact he said,
the whole business Of glassmaking is
tending toward the supplanting of hand
labor by machine-work. Asked about
the advisability of employing boys, he
said, eve have to do it, but the wages of
the boys are SO high that we really might

At a secret conference held at Buffalo,
n. Y, Monday, in the Office of Joseph P.
Bradfield, assistant general manager of
the New York Central, committee of
switchmen from the Buffalo yards, headed
by Peter Shriver, presented to the road
official formal demands for an increase of
wages of 6 cents an hour for switchmen
and foremen, and demands for changes
in working conditions similar to those
made by the switchmen at the Chicago
conference.
1t is known that the men submitted
their demands, but what the outcome of
the conference was, is not known, though
it is said good authority that the Of

ers at Neighborbood Rallies on
Political Questions.

Good attendance characterized both
of the Democratic rallies last night.
when spellbinders of the party talked
to men and women who had gathered
at homes of patriots in different parts
of the city.
One rally was held at the home of
c. Ii. Carlquist, 1927 Ninth East street,
when William H. King and Prof. Jo-
seph F. Merrill talked to the assem-
bled neighbOrs. Mr.. King spoke Of
prohibition for a time and then told Of
the fundamental differences between
the Democratic and Republican parties.
Prof. Merrill spoke on some of the
planks in the Democratic state plat
form-the direct primary. initiative
and referendum and the public utilities
commission.
Another meeting was held at the
home of Mrs. c. II. Reid. 80 Delmar
avenue. Here speeches were made by
John F.. TObin, W. \. Dusenberry.
Mrs. Matte Hughes Cannon and John
Jones. There were Democratic dos
trines expounded TO the followers or
the party who gathered in such num-
bers that there was trouble finding
room for all of them in the house.
