LABOR OF CHILDREN.
Several States Still Permit Infants to
Toll In Factories.


1t is certainly we'll to have collec.
tions of figures made on many sub
iects, but on none is 1t more important
than in the case of children. Thus,
the national child labor committee re-
ports more than 100000 llliterates in
the United States and that one in
seven of the children between ten and
fourteen are not in school; that twen-
ty-nine states do not care whether
children can read and write when they
have reached an age at which such
states permit them to go to work.
There are 100000 children today un-
der the age of sixteen years who are
employed in various industries in ad-
dition to another 100000 in agricul-
ture, of whom only a part are helping
their parents on farms.
1t may surprise people to know that
only thirty nine states have passed
child labor laws In the last seven or
eight years. 1t will surprise them that
so many as five states, one In the north
and four in the south, permit children
to work who are under fourteen and
often down to seven and eight years
and allow them also to work in mills.
Such facts as these are not new, but
they must be repeated with a constant
repetition until they sink into the
heart and conscience as well as into
the mind of the nation and people real
ize that the beginnings Of all good
things in society and in the common
wealth alike are in what is done for
the children. There is where the seed
is planted that is to develop into cit
izenship that is worth while, and If
that is not done then there will be
none to blame but the adults them
selves If society inclines toward fee
bleness and corruption and dishonor.
Not quarter Of the truth about the
burdens laid upon children to earn liv-
Ings for families would be known
save for the exertions Of those who
contribute their own money, employ
the inspectors, stimulate the Iawgivers
and generally devote themselves to
the tremendous task of protecting
childhood against the encroachment Of
selfishness for the earnings of chill

WHAT THE LABEL STANDS
FOR.

The union label stands for
home industry, the protection of
the interests of labor, the pro
lection of just and honorable
employers from competition by
cheap labor rivals. fair wages for
the toiler and better trade con-
ditions generally for both en-
ployer and employee. 1t guaran-
tees the worker a better living,
shorter hours, better conditions
and more money for the neces-
saries of llfe-the true fouuda-
lions Of general lasting prosper
ity. 1t is the trademark of in
dustrial prosperity and the SYM
Dol Of living wages and humane
conditions. Its presence is the
death certificate Of slavery and
starvation, and it should be
sought and encouraged in every
possible way. If the organized
toilers themselves do not support
and upIift it. who in the name
Of heaven can be looked to TO
support and uplift it?
1t is the sacred duty of ev-
cry union man, woman and sym
pathizer of either sex to buy
nothing but what bears that ster-
ling mark Of honest workman
ship and living wages. 1t is the
only protection of the toiler and
the foundation Of the entire cate
CORY Of benefits he is deriving
from being in the union ranks.
Don't forget this when you are
again buying, no matter what

As REGARDS THE "sEx WAR;"

"I quite agree with you" / said. But
talking about sex cleavage. there's a gen.
eral feeling in America that this mill
fancy has resulted in a sort Of sex war
in England"
"Oh. that's not so at ALL" exclaimed
Christabel hotly. Indeed, it is not so.
We have no feeling of bitterness. We
only feel that we have been insulted. We
have been put OF by promises Of what the
House Of Commons will do for US, when
We know that the proposal must be made
by the government itself And there Is
no feeling Of personal bitterness against
US. Who is better treated than a suf-
fragette? She can go anywhere and re-
ceive courtesy. Men really respect strong
women"
Dear Christabel. do admire her but
I'm sure she didn't realize that I've been
over here some time, when she made
those statements, or perhaps she really
does believe them herself. and thinks
that when a suTragette's hair is torn out
by handouts and she is bruised and
: scratched It is only playfulness on the
part of the male Britisher.

get very good perspective"
Why don't you go back and take your
punishment" I blurted out. 1 didn't
mean to be too curious. but the idea that
Christabel would mind facing the punish

so wanted to hear what she would give
as a reason.

1t was her little joke. and I smiled ap-
preciatively.
She paused for a few moments. and
| then she grew grave and older looking,
and her nice. mellow voice took deeper
notes as she said. very earnestly:
The movement has never been stronger
than It is now. More women are joining
1t all the time, and We have all the volun-
teers we want for any sort of difficult

nodded.
We'll of course. that's simply funny.
for many of our women are very happily

self-engrossed, whereas 1t is sympathy
for their less fortunate sisters which
makes happy women join us. We're only
amused, not indignant, at this sort OF
cabal. It's one of our jokes-just an evil
dence Of masculine vanity"
The plump little lady who ran the hotel
waddied in at this point bearing a large
sheaf Of letters for Miss Pankhurst, who
glanced at them and laid them aside. so
ventured further.
