Submitted to a Fine.

Edwin Markham, the famous au-
thor of THE Man with the Hoe" is
bitter opponent of child labor. Dis
cussing the effort that he is making to-
ward the reform of child labor laws,
Mr.. Markham said recently:
II would abolish, too. the contempti-
bly, unjust system of fines. What right
has an employer to fine a hand an
hours pay for five minutes lateness?
What right has he because the hand
has damaged some goods 2 cents
worth to fine him a dime?"
Mr.. Markham, after a moment
pause, smiled.
II wish to goodness" he said, that
every victim of the despicable fine sys-
tenn had the same story to tell as an
actor 1 heard of yesterday.
This actor worked under mana
ager who was great finer. For bad
makeup, for lateness, for noise in the
wings, for a hundred things, the play
ers were bilked from quarter to 81
The worst of all the fines was one OF
10 cents for failure to return proper
ties;' for this was a duty that every
one continually forgot.
In a financial drama one night the
supply of stage money ran out and the
manager lent an actor IS or ~ IN
real bills to use in the next scene.
THE manager said sternly to the ac-
tor the following Saturday:

turned that SO gave you in Act Ill
