UNIFORM LAWS
FOR CHILD LABOR,
SELIGMAN'S PLANS
New York Banker Wants Four
teen Years Made Minimum
for Wage Workers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Isaac n,
Seligman, of New York, chairman OF
the finance committee of the national
child labor committee, made an urgent
plea for uniform State laws regulating
child labor before the conference on
uniform State legislation in session
here. In part he said:
1.-THE Importance of uniform legisla-
ton is obvious, particularly where
States are within the same industrial
area. While there may be some ques-
ton whether the manufactures who is
forbidden to employ children under
fourteen years OF age is placed thereby
at a disadvantage in competition with
the manufacturer across the State line
who may employ children of twelve
years, he is apt to believe he suffers.
"A system of uniform laws carefully
codifled, so. thht there could be no mis-
understanding as to their provisions,
and as to the machinery of enforce
ment, would remove a considerable per-
centage of the difficulty now expert
enced by employers, employees, OIL
Gals n interested, citizens in rela-
ton to this entire matter.
w recommend the establishment
of IA years as the minimum age limit
for all wage-earning employments. Be-
low that age We. contend that ~ child
should be regarded as having any
economic value. Let us hasten to say,
however, that we do not regard the
mere fact of having become il years
of age a sufficient warrant for remov-
ing protection from children. In the
standards we recommend they must
also have attained a certain stage OF
physical development, roughly in
dicated, where more complete scien-
tihc tests are not available, by a
height of sixty inches and a weight of
eighty pounds They must further
have had sufficient educational oppor-
tunity to enable them to answer rea-
sonable tests Of mental development.
equivalent to the normal Development
acquired by children in the first eight
years Of the public school, We MAIN
tain that no child under. 16 years of
age should be employed in any occupa-
ton at night or should be employed
longer than an eight-hour day or forty
eight-hour week."

conference Yesterday was the ovation

BOARD OF TRADE TO FLAY
FEDERAL TAX LAW AT MEET.
Committee to Protest Against
Measure in Resolution.

a special meeting of the Board of
Trade has zee called for next Thurs
day evening to consider the Federal
corporation tax law, as expressed in
the Payne act, and to protest against
II with the view of arousing public and
official attention TO the alleged evils
of the act.
In the resolution to be offered for
the consideration of the board by the
committee on commerce and trade the
main objections of tho board, as far
they have been determined, are voiced.
The first alleged fault of the act deals
with the cost of the administration Of
the law, which, the resolution states, is
often greater than the tax to be paid.
The second fault pointed out by the
resolution is the putting on public
record of the returns on their assets
and receipts, made to the internal
revenue office by corporations. This
the resolution declares to be against
all the rules Of business, and harm
full to all trade.
The third alleged fault in the act
is said to be the vagucncss with which
it is said the act Is framed. Through
this it has become necessary for the
treasury department to fix rules for
the administration and Interpretation
of the law, and in that way lay those
subject to the tax open to the incon
yenience and loss involved in a change
Of administration of the treasury de-
partment.

for this district. e.. Allen Smith. au-
nounced today his intention of attend
ing the meeting. The local Office is nat
urally bound by the ruling of the Wash
inston authorities. but in order TO learn
the exact nature of the objections TO the
law MIR. Smith is going to be present.

Gave Grant a lob.

George Bissell, a retired business
man Of Topeka, once gave General U.
S. Grant a job at 50 a week in his
harness shop at Rockford, III. Later
both worked in the Grant tannery at
Galena, and then Bissell and U. S.
Grant went to buying and shipping
hogs together.
Mr.. Bissell was conducting a har'
ness shop in Rockford when Grant 9
young man. asked for a job. He was
put to work and stayed only a short
time. He announced that he was go
ing to Galena and did so. Bissell told
Grant to look around and If he found
an opportunity to let him know and
he would go to Galena also.
In a short time Bissell received q
letter telling of vacancy in the Grant
tannery at Galena. Bissell sold bis
shop and went to Galena and worked
for Orville Grant. q brother to the
future general. who was the manager
of the tannery owned by Jesse Grant,
the father Of the two boys. Both Bis
sell and q. S. Grant received 50 q
week.
During the winter Of 1859 Bissell.
who had laid by little money, began
buying hogs and shipping them to Gin
cinnau. After the first consignment
U. S. Grant expressed desire to quit
the tannery and join Bissell In the
hog business. This was agreeable.
and they did very well financially that
winter and the following summer.
Shortly after going to Galena a son
was born to Mr.. and Mrs. BisselL
Grant. at his request. was permitted
TO suggest a name for the boy. and he
offered his own, Ulysses Grant Bissen.
But the mother took a hand and
changed the name TO Edwin Ulysses
Bissell.
"When Grant left Galena," said Mr..
BisselI. "he begged me to go with him.
he was a colonel then.

A WAR STORY.
BY a Survivor.

y " ERE is war story told Ny a
| survivor of Magruder's com
~ ~ mand in northern Virginia:
"Magruder's army was not
much more than 10000 strong, reckon,
and it had to do some right sharp work
to stand off three well fed, well equip
ped Federal armies. each of them nearly
twice as large. Well, one day Magru-
der was out accommodating with his
staff In the Shenandoah valley, and he
stumbled across a likely looking plan
tation.
"He sent his orderly off on the jump
to present his compliments to the. mis-
tress of the mansion and tell her that
he and his officers were powerful hun
gry-would she be kind enough to
give them some dinner? OF course she
sent back word she'd do her best.
Along comes a yellow haired young
soldier right after that, and he tells her
the same thing. 1t seems he was on
his way to join his regiment and was
covered with dust and looking tired to
death.
My young friend, I'm doing my
best to get up good dinner for Gen.
eral Magruder and his staff. Get down
and come in. and If there is anything
left after they get through you shall
have it, said this hospitable lady
1.-THE young chap was hardly out of
his teens, and it happened that he
came from one of the finest families in
Virginia. He dismounted and went
into the house. Just naturally he knew
how affairs were conducted in the old
plantation households, and when Ma
gruder and his staff arrived he did
some pretty tall scouting around the
dining room. AS soon as dinner was
announced he marched in at the head
Of the procession and took q seat next
to Magruder. The general looked at
him pretty savage for a minute and
said:
"'Sir. do you know with whom you
are diningT
"The young man looked at him just
as sharp and answered back:
"'No, sir, l don't Before Joined
the army l was mighty careful who
ate a meal Of victuals with. but now
make no distinction whatever
THAT settled it Magruder looked
nettled for a minute and then burst
out laughing. So did the others, and
the dinner went on with everybody in
high good humor."
