A bin to leEalize the playing OF pro-
fessiOnaI baseball on Sunday in the Dis
trict OF Columbia, was introduced in
the House today by Representative Cou-
drey. of Missouri
The bill. If enacted into law, gives
Washington the distinction of being the
only eastern city where baseball IS

or professionals.
While general in its terms so as to
Include the permitting of sports OF all
kinds. the specific object Of the bill is
10 legalize the playing Of baseball and
the charging Of admission on Sunday as
we'll as any other day.
II realize that Washington viii oe the
only Eastern city TO have SUNDAY base
ball. II my bill is passed" said Repre-
sentative Coudrey. but why shouldn't
the East have Sunday baseball? We
have it in the West. and think it is
good thing I hope the East will see
fit to emulate the example Of the West"
The bill was referred to the House
District Committee. Of which Mr.. Cou-
drey is a member.

Child Labor In Massachusetts,.

+ In the annual conference of the
national child labor committee at
Boston, Mrs. Florence Kelly told
the New EngIanders TO tkeir face
that it is New England which is
holding back the reform of child
labor abuses in America. It is
because the New England states
@on't stop child labor in their
textile mills that laws'against the
evil can't be secured in the South,
for Southern legislators always
hide themselves behind the excuse
that it would ruin Southern mills
to be put under restrictions that
do not apply to their New Eng
land competitors. And Massachu-
setts, as Mrs. Kelley pointed cut,
Is unfair even to it's own neighbor,
New York, in allowing it's manu-
featuring firms to practice in en-
ployment of cheap labor q COM
petition which New York factory
owners under their state law can
not meet. Massachusetts is rop-
ularly supposed to be the wy
shrine for American worship of
education, yet there are eleven
other stats in the union which RS
quire children to have more
schooling than Massachusetts Ks
before work certificates are issued
to them. There are twenty-three
states which lay heavier restr.c-
tions on children 8 nightwork than
| Massachusetts does, and fourteen
states that protect young WORKERS
better in regard to hours of d&y-
time employment. These ia ts
are not only a reproach to the
state, but they are a good deal Of
an Indictment against the church.
The church has had a splent d
historic chance in New Englan l.;
it ought in it's three centuries Of

immigration Restriction.

Washington, March 1O.-"The
Jews of Russia come to this coun-
TRIP because they are oppressed at
home, and if you raise the head
tax to $40 or any such sum you
will bar them from coming here
and compel them to remain in
Russia and endure their troubles.
Representative Bennett of New
York, member of the lmmigra-
tion commission, thus addressed
the House committee on immigra.
tion to-day in opposition to the
proposed increase in the immigra-
tion head tax.
'The Russian Jew when he
comes to the United States bring s
with him his family" continued
Mr.. Bennett, land to pay a heavy
tax on each member would be i'm
possible for him, for he is gener-
ally too poor tc bear it. The
same rule applies tol tbe Arme-
nian."
Mr.. Bonnet opposed both the
increased head tax and the educa-
tional test. He will address the
committee at length Saturday in
opp sition to the plan to bar i'm
migrants out for illiteracy.
