Give Children Childhood.

"We are today face to face with
the dreadful fact that we are shorten
ing the childhood of our future
American, says President Gunsaulus
in the Beatrice Express. We are
taking from him his hours of deposit
in the bank of destiny. We are re-
quiring him to so haste the days of
production and his hours of maturity
that the sacredness of childhood has
almost vanished.
hope that every human being who
reads this will pledge the heart and
conscience of at least one American
citizen to further the emancipation
of the boys and girls of America.
Give your children their childhood,
for you may be sure of it that the
secrets of the child's destiny are in
his childhood. Let him play, play,
play: and tell him that he is going
to play all through lile, if he plays
well.
And, today, if give nothing else
to any boy or girl except little more
childhood, / know that by and by
we shall see the result and there will
be little more manhood ami little
more womanhood in the world"

THE PRESSMEN'S HOME.
Retreat For Disabled and Aged Work
ers Dedicated.


The International Printing Press
men and Assistants union held its
twenty-third annual convention in the
auditorium of the technical school and
administration building on the union S
properties at Hale Springs, near Rog.
ersville, Tenn.
The dedication ceremonies were held
on the opening day of the convention,
and all the speakers were generous in
their praise of the doubly worthy and
noble purposes of the unions new in
situations. When fully completed
these will include three separate main
buildings-a home for superannuated
members, a sanitarium and technical
school and administration building.
The first and last named of these
buildings are completed. The plans
for the sanitarium have been accepted,
but construction work has not yet been
begun.
The completed new buildings as well
which were on the property when it
was acquired by the union are of
frame construction, the lumber coming
from the hillsides on the property and
was cut on the ground.
The home for the superannuated is
n typical summer hotel building, with
all necessary appointments and l25
rooms. There are spacious accommo
dations here for a library, a subStan
tial nucleus for which has already been
provided by James l.. Regain, lead
ing Chicago employing printer, who
was in his earlier connection with the
trade a pressman and still cherishes
the associations of that time
In the administration portion of the
technical school building are housed
on the main floor the Offices of the
president and secretary-treasurer of
the international union. 1t is purposed
that the American FRESHMAN, the OIL
cial journal of the union. will also be
established here after next September.
The auditorium occupies the space on
the second floor above the offices and
will seat about 800 persons.

E Garrettson, president of the Order Of Railway Conductors at tOday's meet ing of the congressional joint com mittee investigation in the matter. GarrettsOn took especial exception to the compulsory feature of the bill, saying that with the small maximum payment for injury and the compara- lively brief time of payment an em- ploye would desire the privilege of a choice. He contended for an eXten- sion of some years during which con- PenSation should be paid for an in- jury. saving if the time is reason ably extended a smaller percentage would be acceptable. He said he did not believe employees should be re- quired to contribute to a disability fund. w. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Trainmen. endorsed the commissions plan but admitted most of his associates are opposed to the compulsory system. Other prom inent officials of the working bodies which would be affected by the law appeared and gave their versions O; the commissions plan.
