in the weather condition throughout
the coast. Cold and raw weather IS
reported from every section while
Nevada is suffering in particular.
Sunday was more like winters day

pile are something scandalous. The
farmers are complaining as neither
grain or alfalfa are doing anything
in the wav of growing. while the
truck gardens are about down and

New Orleans, La, Mar. IL. - The
Times Democrat says Either govern
ment regulation of extinction, accord
ing to F. l.. Maxwell, who is one of
the largest cotton producers in the
south, is the arbitrary prospect before
the future cotton trading exchanges.
Mr.. Maxwell opposes legislation of the
Scott anti-future trading type which
he says would rob him and all other
cotton producers and cotton handlers
of the important benefits that accrue
from the buying aud selling of future
hedges, but he emphatically believes
in practical regulation of the eX-
changes by the federal government
Such regulation, he thinks, is due the
farmer, the merchant aud the eonSum
er, and may be obtained in manner
that will help. no, harm, the cotton
industry in any way.
Mr.. Maxwell raises some where be-
tween $500 and 5000 bales a year on
his model plantation at Mound, La. He
is a modern farmer and always takc s
a leading part in movements having
as their object the betterment of farm
ing conditions
In my opinion, said he yesterday,
the United States bureau of corpora
tions and labor should be empowered
by congress to prescribe the form of
contract under which the future trad.
ing of the exchanges is to be carried
on. Recently that bureau spent two
years in intelligent investigation Of
the cotton market, and in the report
issued by Commissioner Herbert Knox
Smith outlined the correct principle
that should underlie all contracting
trading. The principle is nothing
more nor less than that of common
fairness. The suggestions made by
Mr.. Smith were in effect that the buy
er and the seller of all exchange con-
tracts be given equal rights ana priv
ileges, that none other than CONNER
cial cotton be deliverable, that the
grade differences above and below
middling at which cotton is delivered
on contract be the natural or spot mar
ket differences, and that no artificial
conditions that tell against either buy.
er or seller be permitted to exist. Ho
also recommended the adoption by all
exchanges of the government standard
types.
Were all the exchanges compelled
to adopt the suggestions made by Com.
missioner Smith the cotton farmer
would get all that is coming to him;
the producer, merchant and consum-
er would continue to enjoy the bene-

ing system, the wings of the specula-
tor would be clipped in a practical and
lasting way. and the antagonism the

Obstructed Child Labor Law

lin the old world.
Through the seventeenth and eigh-
lteenth centuries" said Mr. McKelway,
there are numerous references TO
show that both in England and New
England the child began to be con-
sidered an asset instead of an en-
lcumbrance. And on both sides of the
water the cotton mill occupied the bad
eminence OF being the chief employer
of children. Parliamentary regula'
ton of child labor began in England
with the beginning of the nineteenth
century, and in New England nearly
a half century later.
I'm 1912 an act was passed in Massa-
chusetts making a ten hour day for
children under twelve, but only those
employers were convicted who know
ingly' violated it, safeguard which
was repeated in the Alabama law of
1907, the repeal of which proyiso we
find Governor O'Neal urging in his
message to the Alabama legislature in
1911.
THE census of 1870 was the first
to take notice of the extent of child
labor in the United States. Unless
the census of 1910 can show a change
for the better, the evil has been in
creasing for the last forty years The
census of 1900 shows that TO great
er extent than any other manufactur-
ing or mechanical industry the cotton
mill furnishes employment to children
and that in the north about one cot
ton mill operative out of every ten
was ten to fifteen years of age while
in the south the corresponding figures
were about three of every ten.
Mr.. McKelway called attention to
the recent report of the bureau of
labor on the cotton industry, showing
20 per cent of the employees in south
ern cotton mills are still under the
age of sixteen, and since "only age
data supported by positive evidence
have been used" this estimate comes
far short of the truth"
The facts furnished by this report,
Mr.. McKelway declared, were found
in spite of the difficulty in aseeTta II
ing the ages of the children and the
fact that in several instances "deliber.
ate and determined efforts were made
by mill officials to cover up the actual
in regard to child labor. .

had just returned from Jefferson City,
where he positively identified Craven
by peculiar scars. An anonymous let

Birmingham. Ala, Mar. Cotton
manufactures, by means of lobbies in
legislative halls, have obstructed child
labor legislation, in the opinion of A.
]. McKelway, secretary for the south
ern states of the National Child Labor
Committee, who addressed the sew
enth annual conference of the organ
ization here last night.
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 bur
dened with prohibitiye tariff because
cotton manufacture was an infant in
dustry, Mr.. McKelway 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
it's slaughter of the innocents con-
tinues in the twentieth century. When
next the cotton manufacturers come
before the representatives of the
American people, those representa-
tives may well insist that protection
to infant industries must be proceeded
by some measure Of protection for in
dustries infants.
THE cotton mill through the manu-
facturers' Hobbies which crowd every
legislative hall where child labor leg
islation is being considered is not only
condemning the host of children which
it employs to the curse of child labor
but is holding back the states of
America from the adoption of stan
dard uniform child labor law, And If,
as they frequently claim, the cotton
mills cannot exist without the child
labor system, with a wage scale too
low to survive on American soil, the
American people will contemplate with
serenity the putting ou of the factory
fires and will write upon the factory
walls the obituary of the Herods
They are dead that sought the young
ehilds life to destroy it."
Mr.. MeKelway reviewed the history
of the child labor movement declar
ing that one of the reasons which led
the Pilgrim fathers to leave England
was the oppression of their children
