CHILD LABOR AND
CHILO'S WELFARE
Bill to Establish Bureau
to Look Especially After
Little Ones
(By L. III. McGOWAN.)

~aShington. Aug. 2e-The next
session Of Congress viii probably see
enacted a law which has long been
wanted by many persons and organi-
cations interested in the condition OF
children.
The bill, which has just been formu-
lated, has for its r the establish
ing OF a bureau in the Department OF
Commerce and Labor under the di-
rection of a chief. to be appointed
by the President with the advice and
consent Of the Senate. the said bu-
reau to investigate and eport upon
all matters pertaining 10 the welfare
of children and child labor. /, is
especially charged with investigating
the question of infant mortality. the
birth rate, orphanage, juvenile courts,
desertion, dangerous occupations. ac-
cldentS and diseases OF children. en-
ployment, legislation affecting chill
dren in the several States and terri
tories, and such other facts as have
a bearing upon the welfare of chill
dren. The results Of such investi-
cation are to be published from time
to time.
h bill IS drawn Il recommend
ed for passage confines the operation
of the bureau primarily to the ques-
ton of investigation and of reporting
the same, the design and purpose be-
ing to furnish information in this
general way from all parts OF the
country to the respective States to en-
able them to deal more i~ntelligently
and more Systematically and uniform
ly with the subject. The bill Is not
designed to encroach upon the rights
or relieve the States from the duty
Of dealing with this subject, but to
furnish TO enable them
to deal more successfully with il. 1t
was the opinion of the m
that the duty devolves primarily upon
the States to legfslate pom this i'm
portant subject and the States can
more effectively deal with it. But
it seemed to the committee thai, there
was a duty upon the part Of the
National government TO aid in get
ting Information and data with the
view of assisting in this work, ana
that the National Government could
get such and data more
effectively than the respective States.
The bill treats of d subject which
has engaged the attention and the
widespread interest of the people
generally for q number of years. Such
organizations as the National Child
labor Committee, the National Fed
Grafton of Women'S clubs, and a
number of other organizations and
individuals have given much time and
consideration TO the subject and have

and more carefully guarding their
welfare. After d thorough invest-
cation Of its relation to other bu-
reaus and departments in the gov
it has been found that the
proposed bureau will in no sense dup
licate work that is now being done.
though it would be greatly aided by
cooperation with such bureaus as
the Census Bureau, the Bureau OF
Education and the Bureau OF Labor.

Manchester, N. Y, Aug. 90
Speeding eastward behind time.
Lehigh Valley passenger train No. 4
ran into a spread rail on a trestle
near here today and two day coaches
from the rear section Of the train
plunged downward 40 feet, STRIKING
the east en1banknent like a pair or
prOjectiles.
In the awful plunge and crash at
least 81 persons are tonight believed
to have been killed and more than
sixty injured. The injuries Of sew
eral are so serious that it is feared
they will die.
The wreck was the worst in the
history of the -Lehigh Valley line in
this State, and n Of the most DIS
astrOus ever recorded ON the system.
Crowded with passengers, many OF
whom were war veterans and excur-
sionists from G.. A. R. encampment
at Rochester, the train made up or
fourteen cars, drawn by two big
mogul engines, was 40 minutes late
when it reached Rochester Junction,
and from there sped to
make up time before reaching Ge-
neVa.
The engines and two coaches had
just passed h center of a four hun
dred DOT tTestle over Canandaigua
outlet, $50 yards east of the station
at Manchester, at 1888 O'Clock when
the Pullman car Austin" the third
of q long train, left the rails. 1t
dragged the dining; ear with it and
two day coaches ana two PuIlrnans,
IN this order, followed. All bumped
over the ties a short distance When
the coupling between day coach No.
23' and the real end Of the diner
broke. The forward end OF the train
dragged the derafled Pullman Austin
and the diner over safely after which
both plunged down the south en-
bankment and rolled over.
The free end of an i'll .fated Lehigh
valley day coach, in which most Of
the victims were riding, showed out
over the gulf and followed by a Grand
trunk day couch. stripped the rear
guard off the south side of the trestle
and plunged to the shallow river bed
more than 40 feet below.
The end Of the first day coach that
Went over struck the east .embank-
ment of solid masonry. and with the
other 60-foot car behind it both shot
against the wall with terrific force.
Both cars lay, a mass of crumbled
wood, metal and glass under which a
hundred men, women and children,
many Of whom We're killed instantly,
were buried. The greatest
occurred in the day coach NO. 20,
and a dozen persons were TAX en- later
dead from the second day coach,
which after following the first over
the trestle, snapped its rear coupling
and thus saved the rest of the train
from being dragged along.
