Sunday. The request is made by the
National Child Labor committee
which just closed it's annual meeting
in New York.
The committee report shows that
during the year just closed better
child labor laws have been issued in
so states, and that the Commission on
Uniform Laws of the American Bar
Association has prepared and sent out
to the public model child labor
law to be used as q standard of uni
formity in all states. 49," :.
These gains in the development OF
child labor reform in. America, de-
clares the committee. indicate the
widespread public interest and the
timeliness of such observance of the
day as the committee invites.
Although these results have been
secured, the report of the committee
also directs attention to conditions
against which every church ought ia
issue its protest, especially against
the abuse Of young children In. coal
mines, glass factories, cotton mills, ci-
gar and cigarette, factories, oyster
and shrimp canneries, and in the
sweatshops of many large cities. Par.
ticular attention IS directed to the
fact that although, there are over
$4,000 licensed tenement workshops in
New York city alone, and that these
licenses cover but fraction of the
houses in which homework is actu.

ent no actual law to adequately com.

SMOKERS BURN MANY
DOLLARS IN CIGARS
Almost Seven Billion Cigars Are
Manufactured in the
United States
Pennsylvania Leads-Florida Ci-
gars in Low List-0ther
States Excel.

The cigar bill of the American
smoker is something terrific. In
1910 there was ship pped5lfsom Havana
ma 17l,42S,724 cigars. This Is exactly
S5,309,305 less cigars then were i'm
ported in 1906. f@'.'
The tobacco trade paid $67,005,-
950,56 in taxes into the federal treas
ury during the fiscal year of 1910-11
This is an increase of $6,887,49a.53
over the previous year. -
There are 23,050 cigar factories in
the United States, Of which 531 are
manufacturers of cigarettes. These
factories turned out during the year
1910 almost seven billion cigars, or
to be accurate, just 6,s52,421,917.
There were in the same period over
eight billion and a half of cigarettes
manufactured.
To supply the cigar and cigarette
trade in the United States it required
172,33S,779 pounds of tobacco. This
was for the year 1910. =:
Pennsylvania made more cigars
than any other state. In it's output
is included the Pittsburgh stogies,
and the cheap five cent cigars Of that
state. The total number made in the
Keystone state was more than two
billion. These were made in 4.14o
factories.
New York comes next with 1,300.-
900 cigars in 1891 factories. Florida
turned out 290,87S,975 cigars in 451
factories. Minnesota's output was
71,s64,703 cigars in 400 factories:
Illinois. Michigan, New Jersey,
New. York, Ohio,t Pennsylvania and
Virginia all exceed Florida in out
put. So it will be seen that there
are a good many cigars palmed oft
on American smokers as Tampa
goods, which, as matter of fact,
are made elsewhere.

FEDERAL REGULATION
WOULD LESSEN DANGER
In Colorado Alone 81 Out Of
Every Thousand Miners Lose
Lives in Single Year.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 28.-
"Twenty-one out of every one thou
sand miners lost their lives in Colo
RADIO in a single year," said DR.. John
r. Haynes of Los Angeles, California,
in his address before the joint session
of the American Association for La
bor Legislation and the American
Economic association, In Washington,
d.. c.. this morning.
Under State regulation during the
last 20 years, 10000 coal miners have
been killed and $4,000 seriously in
jured. We kill every year more than
all of the rest of the world beside.
Both common sense and humanity de-
mand that the Federal government
safeguard the life of the miner as it
has come in recent years to safe
guard the life of the railroad worker.
"All the coal mines in the United
States should be protected by the
establishment of an interstate mining
commission with power to enact and
enforce regulations in this industry
DR.. Haynes said.
For Federal Inspection.
This commission should. have di-
rect charge of the coal mines owned
by the nation whether operated by the
nation or under private lease Ma
tional regulation in European coal
mines has enormously reduced the per-
centages of fatalities in the last 1S
years, while with interstate regula-
tions in the United States during the
same period. the rate has steadily in
creased from 2.67 in 1895 to 1856 in
1907. The death rate in the various
states, too, has varied tremendously
from 2.25, the average rate in 1lli-
neis fora term OF years.t to the fright
full figures in the case of Colorado
for the year 1907 when Fl out OF
every 1000 miners lost their lives in
a single year, more than twenty times
the rate of fatality for Belgium OF
France. -,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The
Journeymen Stonecutters' association,
during the past year has made most
remarka BILE progress. General Secre-
aryTreasurer James F. Ntzhugh,, in
speaking of the wonderful advance
made has this to say of the general
membership:
''They brought it about without the
slightest frictiam between themselves
and their employers. Intelligent COM
mittees were appointed who discussed
the proposition with the bosses, man
fashion, and gave and took as the
case deserved.
"They did not demand the keys to
the safe or turning over the employ
er's business to them, but went about
it just like good, square union men,
making their wants known, showing
why they deserved what they asked
for. Their arguments were sensi-
BILE and just" ~'."}, .-...>. =.
There were 66 branches receiving
an increase during the past year,
ranging from ten cents to $1.00 per
day. The total increase aggregates in
additional wages paid to the men ap-
proximately $250,000 a. year. In ad-
dition to this there have been added

Nationally Noted San Francisco
Graft Prosecutor Makes
Emphatic Speech.


believe the constitution of the United
States possesses some defects which
are fatal to true democracy, and be-
lieve further these defects were de-
liberately inserted by it's trainers to
accomplish that very purpose.
IF this be treason, then make the
most of it,
In this statement Francis J. Heney,
the noted graft prosecutor, replied to
.Assemblyman W. B. Griffiths who, on
the floor of the assembly chamber,
spoke of him as "One of the higher
ups of Adrianism," which, asserted
Griffith, lis robbing our school chill
dren of patriotic ideas.
by 'Adrianism,' Griffiths referred
to recent utterances by Superintend-
ent of Schools Adrian of Santa Bar
bara which raised a storm of protest
against his teachings that the revolu-
tion of 1776 was unwarranted and un-
necessary.
Reverence for Constitution.
Il am not one of those who rever-
ence the constitution to that point
which prevents me from investigating
and questioning either the wisdom or
the intentions of its framers," contin-
ueG Heney.
Some of these patriotic gentlemen
would have us believe that the franz
ers of the constitution were more than
human; that they. like the king, could
do no wrong"
Assemblyman Griffiths had said in
the course of his rebuke of adrian
ISM and his reply to Heney's argu-
ment at the last session of the legis-
lature, when the latter was champion
ing the recall of the judiciary. that
3 Heaese was not "a good citizen L be-
cause he DETAINED the constitution and
its founders"
Reply of Heney.
The following is Heney's reply:
The constitution of the United
States was not intended by it's franz
ers to secure government by the ma
jority Of the people; that is, to secure
actual democracy.
THE present movement for the
initiative and recall is the result of a
realization of this fact on the part of
the people and a determination on
! their part to bring about an osten-
sible government of, for, and by the
people.
NO man who has ever studied the
debates occurring in the constitutional
convention can have any doubt on
this subject. A majority of the lead
ers in that convention frankly avowed,
after pledge of secrecy had been ex-
tracted from all it's members, that
they believed in monarchial form of
government. But they realized that
public opinion in this country would
not tolerate or accept any form of
government except a republic.

again in debate. that by permitting
the selection of United States senators
