100 PERMITS ISSUED
MANY VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW
PRosECUTED PAST. YEAR BY
STATE DEPARTMENT
OF LABOR
100 PERMITS ISSUED

One Of the most interesting features
OF the work of the State Department
of Labor ia that which has to do with
the child labor question.
1t Is principally upon the shoulders
Of this department that the enforce-
ment OF this law falls.
Since the 1910 report Of the Depart
ment OF Labor was made permission
has been granted to 100 children be-
tween the ages Of twelve and four
teen to work In the various manu-
featuring establishments In Virginia
OF these permits twenty-five have
been given by the courts, 122 by may
ors of cities, and % by justices Of
the peace.
In four of the cases the reason that
the children had to work was that
they had been deserted by their faith
ers; forty-two were dependent upon
their own labor; twenty-three had In
valid fathers; twenty were orphans;
sixty seven had to work to support
widowed mothers: and in four cases
no reasons were given.
Forty-one such permits were issued
in Richmond, and In twenty-four Of
the local cases the reasons assigned
were that the work was necessary to
support widowed mothers.
Suffolk furnished the largest proper
ton of such permits to its population.
twenty three having been issued.
while in Norfolk only two permits
were issued.
Unsatisfactory Experience.
Commissioner Doherty has had con-
siderable unsatisfactory experience the
past year when he investigated the
statements made to employers Of labor
By parents seeking employment for
their children. Hereafter much more
In his annual report Mr.. Doherty
SAYS as to the work of his depart
ment:
"One OF the chief activities Of the
inspector. and the one trenching most
on his time. has been the enforce
ment OF the Child Labor Law" and
the law governing the hours OF daily
labor of women and children. These
laws were being violated by neglect
or intent. and wherever a violation
was discovered proper notice was
given. and where such violation was
persisted In after such notice tho ma
chinery Of the law was invoked to
impose the penalty prescribed for such
violation. 1t has been found In many
instances difficult to get testimony to
convict, the cupidfty of parents fre-
quently prompting them to misrepre-
sent the ages OF the children: and
in the absence Of vital statistics by
which the age can be accurately as
certained the department has no re.
course. To correct this evil as far as
possible. the department has deter
mined hereafter to require all state
ments as to the age OF child to be
made under oath.

St-atton, pastor OF Seventh Baptist
church, Baltimore. in a sermon yes
terday morning at the FL. Baptist
church.
Christ has his quarrel with the
bad social and political conditions
He is offensive to many of the
rulers OF today. and they are more
off nsive to aim. His principles are
inexorably opposed to those public
abuses that sanction and protect evil
and thus prostitute the people and
undermine their moral fiber. The
ministry and church OF Christ are
traitors to their trust. they are re-
creant to their duty. unless they cry
aloud and spare not--unless they bat
tie heroically against such evilA as
unjust wages. especially to women
workers, child labor. the hell black
social evil. lawlessness and the aw-
full shame and disgrace Of the licensed
liquor traffic.
Mote again that Christ came to
disturb bad business condition. With
unutterable scorn he dashed the
money changers from the Temple.

Of meekness and peace. he neverthe-

Revelations OF graft. and business

are not in the opinion OF DR.. STRAIT

age in which we live. They indi-

making progress. for they demon
strate a keener public conscience
against these abuses than the world
has ever known before, Such evils
to destroy them that the individual
might be saved from forces which
make for his moral undoing. And we
have no greater or more imperative
duty today than to take up Christ's
whip Of small cords and scourge the
dishonest money changers from the
temple Of modern civilization"
The subject Of DR.. STATIONS SER
mon was "The Meaning Of Christ's
Coming into the World" and in its
treatment he discussed Christ as the
donor Of saivatation. the creator OF
character and the guarantor Of life.
DR.. Stratton exchanged pulpits yes
terday with DR.. Mcdaniel. Last night
he preached the annual sermon to

THE FORCES OF THE FUTURE
l(Our Dumb Animals)

(Our Dumb Animals)
We conserve our forests and our
waterfalls and calculate the utility
of each chip of wood and drop of
rain; but we destroy living creatures
in millionfold without estimating the
potential forces which broader and
saner system of economics could har-
ness to tasks Of utility.
The mightiest mission of civiliza-
ton is still before the world. The
noblest ambition of charity is yet to
come. The most beneficient philan-
thropy is still to be promulgated.
There is less need of great fortunes
than of great understandings. The
universe is stated with material
wealth and hungry for simple kind
