0LNEY AND CHILD LABOR
Remarks on the Record Of a
Warm Dix Republican.

DR.. Stephen s. Wise. John Mitchell, John
Haynes Holmes. Gaylord S. White and
Charles c. birmingham have prepared a
statement exposing the attitude of James
p. Olney, Republican. who has announced
his intention of voting for Dix for Gov
ernor. The statement refers 10 Mr.. Olney's
employment of child la Dor. and in part fol-
lows:
Those familiar with the progress of child
labor legislation in the State of New York
during recent years know that Mr.. Olney
has come to enjoy the wholly unenviable
distinction of being the most bitter and re-
sourceful foe of legislation aiming to serve
the welfare of women and children in so
far as his own particular industry is af-
fected.
1t was Mr.. Olney who, at a hearing be-
fore the Assembly Committee on Labor and
Industry, in the spring Of the year, de-
family announced that whether the bill
passed or not the Gamers would be
obliged to continue conducting their fac
tories as they had been doing
The Boshart bill was admittedly intro
duced in the last Legislature at the in
stance of Mr.. Olney and his. canned goods
associates. This bill in its first form pro-
posed 10 exempt all employees over sixteen
from the provisions of the law respecting
hours of work. and If enacted into statute
would have meant unlimited hours of labor
by day or by night for women and chill
dren over sixteen. al the pleasure Of the
New York Canned Goods Packers Asso-
ciation. The bill as first proposed so out
ragged the conscience of the state that IL
was amended so as TO permit overtime
work for the term from June Is TO October
10 The sinister meaning of the words
average of ten hours a day is readily
appreciated. Under that clause a girl six
teen years old could be employed from &
a m TO u midnight for sixty-seven sue
cessive DAYS without violating the law
The bill was dropped, not as M Olney
states by mutual consent" but because of
the determined opposition OF the labor
unions Of the state and few voluntary
organizations.

STlMS0h IN WESTCHESTER
speaks on Time, Despite Break
down of Automobile.

henry L. Stimson had an unusual ex-
per1ence yesterday in Tarrytown. when the
taxicab he was riding in broke down, and
sheriff Henry Scherp. who was his escort,
was forced TO hire another machine to get
him TO New Rochelle in time TO address a
mass meeting there.
Mr.. Stimson was on his way from Pough-
keepsie to Westchester County and his
special train stopped at Tarrytown that he
might make quick run TO towns along the
Sound. He was accompanied by Speaker
James W. Wadsworth, and previous to the
New Rochelle meeting was the guest OF
Sheriff Scherp at dinner at his home
The nominee for Governor addressed a
large audience at Gern.ania Hall, New
Rochelle, and he also received a big re-
cepion at the Westchester Auditorium in
Mount Vernon, and in Yonkers. The New
Rochelle rally was presided over by Mayor
Henry Colwell, while in Mount Vernon the
chairman of the meeting was Alderman
George r. Taylor
Although Mr.. Stimson overstayed his time
In Mount Vernon, he made a record run in
the big machine to Yonkers, in spite Of the
pad roads. and arrived on time
In the course of his speech in Mount
Vernon Mr.. sttmson said:

cies and standards in public life of Gov
ernor Charles E. Hughes believe in an
efhcient and vigorous state government. and
l think the great achievement of Governor
Hughes and the great lesson which he has
perhaps more than any other American
statesman OF the present day, taught the
American people is the value of a vigorous
state government
1T now is clear that the surest safe
guard against undue federal extension s
an efficient state government. and IL has
also become clear that one of the things
we needed most and have needed most In
the development of our nation is increased
efficiency in our state governments. They
are the ones that have fallen most behind.
The American people are a practical people
and they are not going 10 allow things to
remain undone Just because their local gov
ernments will not do them.
And if the state governments should con-
tinue 10 neglect the duties of protection and
ether duties which they owe 10 the individ-
Ual citizen there will be irresistible pressure
and temptation brought to bear upon the
only other government that we have to
accomplish those ends, and so l say that a
vigorous state government Is the surest
safeguard against Crowding too many duties
on the central government at Washington.
And that is the lesson which Governor
Hughes has taught US.

In another column will be
found a communication from
Congressman Edwards in which
represents a letter from the en-
gineer in charge of The Cumber-
land river Improvements. 1t is a
clear cut fact that the improve
ment is badly needed and it is
also fact that the information
asked for should be forth coming.
The people of this section should
not be slothful in this matter, but
do all they can to keep the good
work going. The improvement
of The Cumberland is of inestima-
BILE value to this part of the
State and the immense timber,
mineral and agricultural pro-
ducts within easy reach of it
should stimulate the National
government to keep the work
going until navigable water is
obtained from Nashville to
Burnside. To accomplish this is
one of the great tasks presented
to the Congressman of this dis
trict and the people should give
all the assistance possible.
