IN THE COTTON MILLS
secretary Of Child Labor Commit
tee Makes Charges Against
the Cotton Manufacturers
OF Country.
Associated Press Special.

Associated Press Special.
Birmingham, Ala, March TO-
Cotton manufacturers, by means of
Hobbies in legislative halls, have OBJ
struggled child labor legislation, In
the opinion of A j McKelway, sec
rotary for she southern states of the
National Child Labor committee,
who addressed the seventh annual
conference of the organization hers
last night. ~e
Referring TO the plea of the New
England and southern cotton manu-
facturers at the tariff hearing in
1900 before the ways and means
committee, that cotton goods should
not be burdened with prohibitive
tariff because cotton manufacture
was an infant industry, Mr. Nickel
! way said:
IF an infant industry is one that
employs infants, this is emphatically
an infant industry. The cotton mill
is the Herod among industries. and
its slaughter of the innocents con
tinues in the twentieth century.
When next the cotton manufactur-
ers come before the representatives
OF the American people, those repre-
sentatives may well insist that pro-
lection to infant industries must be
preceded by some measure of protec-
ton for Industries infants.
Progress in the prevention Of the
evils of child labor in the last seven
years was noted in a speech by Ow-
en- r. Lovejoy, general secretary OF
the National child labor committee,
today. Mr. Lovejoy was Speaking be
fore the seventh annual convention
on child labor. Mr.. Lovejoy said:
when this committee was form
ed seven years ago there was no ac-
cepted national standard of protec-
ton against child exploitation. The

ans clubs to the general abolition o.

cnsed of selfishness; the woman
clubs were charged with femini
sentiment and the socialist pal
was ignored as without power or

League and a respectful BILE number
enlightened Individuals. child lab,
| In America may be said to have bee
| without an enemy.
Then rapidly, as public interes
| is wont to grow. there swept Owe
! the face OF the country the excited
news that child labor existed in Au-
erica. that the coal mines, glass fac
tories, and even our public stree :
were scenes of oppression to the
tender bodies and souls of lite boys
and girls.
And it is to the credit Of the
south that the initial suggestion Of
such militant band on a national
scale originated with a citizen Of
your own commonwealth Mr.. Edgar
Gardner Murphy. 1t grew out OF a

ments OF Alabama 10 west from
