LAWYERS WAR ON
JUSTICE COURTS
Bar Association Begins Fight
for Adjustment of the Minor
Tribunals in Cities.

The Atlanta Bar association has be-
gun a statewide fight for the proposed
constitutional amendment abolishing
Justice of the peace courts in larger
Georgia cities, and today the commit
tee in charge of the work mailed letters
to each member of the general assem-
bly, asking their support of the measure.
Several days ago the association ap-
pointed committee, headed by w. A.
Fuller, to solicit support of legislative
members and business men generally.
The work of the committee has been
secret, to prevent, if possible, any an
tagonistic organization the city justices
might form.
We are soliciting the support of the
legislative members as well as all other
men in the state to carry the proposed
amendment in the general election Dc
tober ,, and we have sent many of
them letters asking their support of the
bill said Mr.. Fuller today.
Only City Justices Hit.
The one thing that might prevent
the peoples Endorsement of the bill at
the polls is that many of them do not
understand what it means.
THAT is what we are aiming to ac-
complsh by sending the letters. We
are asking each man to explain to his
reighbors that the amendment pro-
vides that only justices in cities of over
10000 population are to be done away
with
The amendment does not provide
that all the courts shall be done away
with That is not what we seek, for as
they are conducted in smaller places
than those of 10000 population they
give the best possible. means for dispos-
ing of legal tangles.

But in a city it is different The
practices common to some of the courts
are such that they had better be thrown
out of existence if the people want jus

the legislature, who introduced the JUS

out the circular letters.
I'VE want the judges of the justice

foolish-it is positively criminal-to try
and avoid or deny your personal respon-
sbility in the matter.
Aside from the fact that we are told
by Him who has told us all truths that
we are our brothers keeper" it is as
manifestly wrong to ignore this vital
question as it would be to shun respon-
sibility for the proper protection of uni
versal life and property because yours
might not require protection.
And any neglect on your part to give
this question first consideration, then
your best efforts to remedy, cannot be
ascribed to ignorance of the conditions
crying aloud for betterment. For who
has not read or known personally of the
little breaker boys in the eastern coal
mines clogging their lungs with coal
dust as they toll all day for a pittance,
or of the little ones, both boys and girls,
Shaving in the grease-stenched, lint-flled
air of the great southern cotton mills,
and not receiving enough to decently
feed their little starved bodies?
The writer has personally visited one
of these large mills and made tour of
the so-called homes of these people, and
he wants to go on record as saying that,
in all that has been written on this sub
ject, the half of the hideous truth has
never been told. Four or five of family,
ranging from the parents to little tot
whose dress does not reach her knees,
stretched out crosswise of one bed just
as they came from a sweltering nights
work, and, after meagre breakfast, had
dropped there in utter exhaustion.
But, as stated above, we do not in
tend to burden the reader with much
that we feel he already knows, but sim
ply to ask that you think it over, bring
it home to yourself, and forget for a
moment your own happiness in a
brotherly study of others misery.

MINERS RENEW FIGHT.

Plans for continuance of the cam
ern Colorado fields will be determined
held by the union miners in Louisville,
Friday afternoon.
That the United Mine Workers organ
ization is determined to win its fight in
securing recognition at the hands of the
operators is evidenced ythe arrival in
Denver of Frank ]. Hays, international
vice-president; j. l.. Burton, interna-
tional organizer of Arkansas, and VIII
liam Hartgrove, international organizer
from Indianapolis, Ind. These officers,
together with John r. Lawson, interna-
tional board members from this district,
and John McLennan, president of the
State Federation of Labor, will address
the miners. They will also assist in the
launching of new method of agitation
and systematic course to reach the con-
sumers of the products of the northern
coal fields.

coal breaker, These are signs, say the
weather prophets, that another Monday
is near. The worlds week wears along
to dingy close. Over its dirt and con-
fusion shall come sound, not of Sab
bath chimes, but of the weekday morn
ing alarm clocks. Gray Monday of drudg-
cry. blue Monday of depression, red
sunshine cleansing and health-giving-
it is ours to make it as We will"
The question is, where do you stand?
1t has always been regarded as small
and mean for one to assail and criticise
a condition and not at the same time
suggest a remedy, and in order to avoid
being placed in the above class we will
set forth a suggestion as remedy.
1t is manifestly plain that the mere
arousing of public sentiment will not do
the work 1t is going to take strict and
honestly intended Observation-Disclosures
ton from city and town ordinances up
to state laws and federal statutes. That
is sometimes hard to get, but, il prop
erly directed, this aroused public senti-
ment will assure and hasten the legis-
lation, and there is not a village in
America today that is too small to help
in this work. But even a powerful pub
lie sentiment, floundering around in the
shape of infinitesimal atoms, unorgan-
lied, undirected and without any posi-
tive plan, is an abortive force.
Let the papers-the most powerful in
struments for right or wrong-in every
village, town or city take this question
up, urge the organization of Anti-Child
Labor Clubs. if you please, or, to our
notion better still, The Riddles Clubs,
for, while their membership would not
consist of The Kiddies, the latter would
be the inspiration, and the reason for
their existing.
Then, again, it is patent fact that
the proper direction of force like this,
the spreading and directing of the doc
trine, will require some money. So let
each club organized fix sum of money
consistent with their particular condi-
ton, to be paid weekly or monthly, as
the case may be.

COTTON INDUSTRY in JAPAN.

The cotton spinning and weaving in
dustry in Japan is expanding by leaps
and bounds. During the last fiscal year
eight new corporations were formed
with capital of s6.2s0.000 and operat-
ing $4,000 new spindles. Many Of the
old companies have increased their cap
ital and have added new machinery to
their plants. The Japan Cotton Spin
ners' association report for March. 1912,
that they had 80 mills operating 1861
O26 spindles, running 26 days month.
working 20 hours a day. producing a
daily average of 1914 ounces for ring
spindles and Sk ounces for mule spin
dies. They consumed during the month
S,S2S,2S3 pounds of cotton, employ H.
967 males and 1924 females, paying
the males an average of 23c per day
and the females 15c a day. This is
equivalent to an increase OF almost 5
per cent. over the wages paid during the
year 1911. II this industry continues to
expand in Japan and China with the
same relative proportion the prospects
for the export trade to those countries
in the cotton industry Of the United
States and Great Britain will be very
materially restricted.

AS soon as the club is organized, pub
lish that fact in your local paper, giving
name of secretary or other officer, and
ask to hear from other clubs. This with
the definite plan in view of getting to-
gether under the guidance of national
organization, at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
When the work has gone this far, the
methods of further procedure will be SO
apparent with the guiding lines of the
organization as to need not even sug-
gestion from your humble servant.
In conclusion. we want to ask our
friends, particularly of the newspaper
contingent, to write us just what you
think of this article, what you think of it
viewed from every angle. Do you think
we have overdrawn anything, if we are
right or wrong. and also what you think
of an article of this kind in publica-

object the advertising of our business

DEATH OF MRS. ALLEN.
Wife of George Allen Killed by Auto and
Her Sister Injured.

Mrs. George Allen was killed by an
automobile at the corner of Seventeenth
and Curtis streets last Friday about 5
p. m, and her sister, Mrs. ]. A. Brittan,
seriously injured. The two sisters had
stepped from the curbing to take Kali
amath car going toward Sixteenth street,
when an automobile owned by l.. N.
Stuttsman backed into them. The car
was standing at it's usual place for hire,
in front of the Denver Delicatessen, and
the owner was cranking the machine
preparatory to making a trip. The re-
verse lever was on and when the ma
chine was cranked it gave quick lunge
backward and caught the two women
just as they stepped from the curbing.
Mrs. Britain was knocked back on the
sidewalk, and Mrs. Allen was dragged
by the machine some distance. When
taken from under the machine she was
unconscious. Several ribs were broken,
one of which had perforated a lung
Death followed quickly. Mrs. Britain
was taken to the hospital in an ambu-
lance.
Mr.. Allen was standing at one of the
windows of the Trades Unions Benefit
association, and recognized his wife
when she was being put into the ambu-
lance. Mrs. Allen is survived by
brother, her sister, Mrs. Britain, and
two children, Frank, 81, of Fairplay,
Colo, and May, II, of Cripple Creek.
The funeral services were held from
the undertaking rooms of Hackethal

There is a little vest-pocket magazine
styling itself Quest: A Monthly Maya
zine of Aspiration published at Keota,
Colorado, in which we recently noted an
article by Flora Warren Smith, of Phoe-
nix, Arizona, a part of which we quote.
1t was apropos of saying in one of
"Chesterton's Inimitable Whimsicalities"
The whole world will have another
wash-day." Soil and CRIME are on our
vestments, brush and turn them as we
will. That tri-colored garment our fore
fathers of the eighteenth century so val
iantly wove for us of the threads of lib
erty, equality and fraternity-how sadly
have we dragged it in the dust! That
white mantle of freedom our fathers
fashioned in 61-how befouled it is! The
garment of liberty has been trailed
through the dusty courts of reaction,
through the dark alleys of sloth, through
the Shiny bitches of greed and graft.
Children's toil-worn hands have clutched
it in hopeless supplication."

fore it was given him. The letter from
Mr.. Mcdonald was turned over to the
labor department, through Deputy La
Dor Commissioner Brake, and the depart
ment has taken the matter up with Rep
resentative John A. Martin, at Wash
ington, d. c.
There is a federal statute that pro-
hibits any contractor working his men
more than eight hours on any work that
is being performed for the government.
The above case is a clear violation of
the law, and the matter will be vigor-
ously prosecuted by Representative
Martin. The labor department is to be
commended for its prompt action in this
most important matter.
