who are now introducing a bill seeking

experience of what Is necessary. These
same parties for the past two years have
been going into the newspapers with the
allegations that there was no child labor
in Colorado. and that there was no neces-

n strike is Illegal under the jurisdiction
of the Typographical union. All strikes
must have the sanction OF the executive
council at indianapolis.
While the strike was in progress yes
terday. the printers on the Journal set
the type for the Hearst papers. and all
the papers in the Newspaper Publishers
association reduced the size of their pa
per TO four pages Representatives of the
publishers association said that II any

While the big dailies reduced the size

fights RESULTED between the circulators
on the big papers and the newsies on the

Washington. gave out n statement last
night In which he said that the strike OF
printers against the Hearstt newspapers
in Chicago was unwise. Illegal. and ir-
respective of the outcome. could not be
otherwise than disastrous to the cause
of union labor. The statement was given
before the settlement in Chicago was ac-
complished.
He added that when the members OF
the International typographical union
understood the facts they would be unan-
imous in condemnation OF the Chicago
demonstration against n publisher OF
eight union newspapers. The Interna-

would stand for the protection and fulfill

Labor Commissioner Edwin v Brake,
who has been attacked from all sources,
has received the latest attack from
source that is pathetic, to say the least
This time It is Mrs. Ida l.. Gregory. clerk
of Judge Lindseys juvenile court. The
Judge has child labor bal that he
wishes to become a law, and in order to
strengthen his position his clerk has at
tackled Mr. Brake, who is supporting the
4 Leftwich child labor bill, which takes the
granting and revocation OF permits TO
children between the ages of IA and 10
wears out of the hands OF the school
teachers of the state and places the work
in the hands of the labor department
This is purely an Industrial situation,
and all workers believe that it should be
handled by the Industrial department
The attack by Mrs. Gregory was made
through the public press. She did not
discuss the merits of the bills but en-
deavored to state the intent of the labor
department in supporting the bill that
will bring results.
Mr.. Brake felt the sting of the unjust
attack and sent Mrs. Gregory the follow
ing letter. which explains itself:
Denver. Colo. Feb. IS, 1911.
Mrs. Ida Gregory. Clerk Juvenile Court.
Denver. Colo.
Dear Madam:-I notice by the News
of this date that you felt 1t incumbent
upon yourself to charge that my support
of the Leftwich child labor bal is for the
purpose of putting myself in position
where can graft under this bill, II en-
acted into n law This statement coming
from you somewhat surprises me ana
still II was all | could expect from one
of your knowledge of child labor In this
state, and your general tendencies TO
either rule or ruin. Your disposition TO
butt into matters that you know nothing
about was very apparent to me during
the last Lindsey campaign when | had

So that the people may know the eN-
act situation regarding these three child

matter in the same hands as formerly.
1t appears to ME that it is not an honest
effort on the part of these people who
are opposing the Leftwich bill TO do
something to benefit the children, but
an effort to protect the employers that
are now working these children in viola
ton of the laws.
Judge Lindsey has just realized that
his efforts in the past to incorporate in
the laws of this state good and suffi-
cient child labor law has been failure
and he has in his efforts to secure some
legislation that might be beneficial.
largely adopted the suggestions of this
department in drafting of his bill, still
he, like the others. has insisted that the
superintendents of schools shall issue
the permits. outside of Denver. Colorado
Springs and Pueblo. This has been the
weakness in all former legislation-plac-
ing the issuing of permits in the hands
of school authorities. This theory is un-
tenable. can see no reason why in the
industrial field that the permits should
not be issued by the department created
purely in the interest of wage-earners.
School teachers as a rule have about all
they can attend to without investigating
the employment of children in different
factories and places of employment of
this state and have been asked on nu-
merous occasions to relieve them of this
burden, and the Leftwich bill is the re
suit of work carefully prepared by this
department. and we feel as though we
have TO great extent solved the prob
lem of child labor in this state by the
passage of this bill.
The insinuation that there is graft in
any child labor bill certainly comes from
one whose mind is perverted and whose
inclination would be to graft IL the op-
portunity presented itself. do not be
lieve that any person. either friend or
enemy of this department. will allege
that there has been any graft either di-
rectly or indirectly by this department
or any of its employees.
Very truly yours.
