and stores. Some of the bills had
many most desirable features, and if
enacted and enforced, might result
in great good to those whom they
were designed to benefit.
But, like so many excellent things
which look perfect in the planning,
there are drawbacks which prevent
the contamination so devoutly wished
for, and while conditions may be bet
ter in degree, the average of abuse
is about the same.
From the viewpoint Of some of us,
the Child Labor Bill, if enacted in all
states, would enact harm on the
child, though to the ardent support
ers and devotees of the bill, this
seems impossible.
Several weeks ago the matter was
discussed in this column and an eff
fort made to show that a child,
taught to be an expert weaver in
mill, stood better chance at becom-
ing a successful man or woman, than
if left to grow up in ignorance and
loneliness on an isolated farm
Some adverse criticism was called
forth by this statement, and it made
fertile field for argument, so we
might carry it further and ask: why,
instead of agitating so much against
the employment of poor children in
mill, factory or mine, do we not
agitate a great deal against the own
ers of those mills, factories and mines
for the manner in which they make
these children live?
All arguments to the contrary, the
human body, when healthy and we'll
nourished, is capable of a vast
amount Of physical labor, even in it's
young days.
The normal boy or girl, given good
wholesome food and plenty of it, is
capable of feats of endurance which
exact no toll of life, everything be-
ing normal and properly nourished.
Good food is the firsl essential,
and if we had a little less agitation
against the laboring Of poor children
and a deal more for their food, we
might in time arrive somewhere not
down in the theoretical pamphlets.
And that brings us to the commits
sary.
To those of you who live in large
cities, within reach of the butcher,
baker, grocer and dry goods store of
your CHOICE, it will be necessary to
explain that, in nearly every town,
North, South, East and West, where
the mill or factory is the hub of the
towns industry, the cOmmissary is
the nav into which goes the greater
part of the earnings OF the entire
family
Usually the commissary is run by
the company controlling the factory,
or maybe some relatives have been
graciously permitted to establish it,
but the chances are ninety-five per
cent in favor of it's being owned by
the company which operates the mill
or factory.
The stock in trade consists of ev-
erything from sugar to jews-harps,
and in an emergency collins are also
provided.
The less said of the quality of the
goods, the better
Likewise we will draw the mantle
of forgetfulness about the weights
and measures used, as the commits
sary is usually outside the city's
limits.
In some factories, especially
those of the South and West, it is
almost obligatory on the employees
to get all their supplies from the COM
missary, and here is where the actual
hardship of the mill and factory
worker is conferred.
Man is prone to cheat, as the
sparks to fly upward; if he doesn't
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-02-16

race
The prices charged for the sup
plies drawn from the average COM
missary are almost beyond belief;
take into consideration the short
weights and measures, and you wont
find it difficult to understand why
the entire earnings of a family are
required for the simple matter of
living.
A butcher shop is also run in con-
nectiCn with the average commissaTy,
and, though as a rule, only the
cheaper cuts of meat are sold, the
prices charged would make the
Barons of the Beef Trust weep-be-
cause they hadn't gotten there first.
Can you understand NOW why the
average child who works in factory
is understood and under-nourished?
Change these conditions: psy
decent living wage to employees; give
them their money once a week; let
them buy their supplies where they
will; see to it that those employing
children treat them as little humans
and not as machines-would there
be so great dread to raise chill
dren as mill workers, living for the
most part outside crowded cities?
This'is not fancy theorizing-i is
actual facts; I have seen a commits
sary keeper charge hand" twenty
five cents for a red bandanna hand
kerchief that could be bought in any
other store for ten cents; l have seen
the wife of "hand" pay fifteen cents
pound for sugar when any other
store was giving three pounds and
half for twenty-five cents. I have seen
soda crackers sold for ten cents a
pound when the price in any other
store was five: have seen ham sold
at twenty cents a "slice" (this was
before the days of thigh prices'') and
the slice weighed but a little over
half pound. I have seen coffee of
the very cheapest grade sold for
thirty cents a pound, when any other
store sold it for fifteen.
With these FACTS in your mind,
doesn't it occur to you that it is the
owners and the managers of these
mills and factories who need iegis-
lating against?
Wouldn't it be good idea now to
see to it that these little mill toilers
and their parents were PAID the
money their services were worth, and
then got all that was coming to them
when they spent that money?
