Protecting Children.

Forty-four states have adopted an
age limit for the employment Of chill
dren. The limit In some states is still
pitifully low, but the organizations Of
labor that have wrested an age limit
from unwilling legislatures will soon
force the limit higher.
Forty-two states have set maximum
hours for a working week for children.
Thirteen states have boiler inspec.
ton laws.
Thirty.seven states order seats pro-
vided for female employees.
Seventeen states make provision for
protection Of employees engaged on
construction OF buildings.
Fourteen states officially inspect
bakery shops.
Forty-eight states and the District
OF Columbia have laws conserving
wages, making 1t possible to secure
wages due, by mechanics liens" thus
making wages preferred claims. These
liens in some instances are attached
to the property itself, In others to
chattles or to designated funds.
Thirty-ive states have established
bureaus of labor statistics

WILL STUDY LABOR PROBLEM.

A comprehensive investigation OF
the relations of capital and labor will
be undertaken by the federal govern.
ment. The Investigation Is to be con-
Quoted by a commission of nine per-
sons to be appointed by the presidon mt,
and with the advice and consent OF
the senate.
The commission is specifically or
dered to investigate:
The general condition of labor in
the principal industries, including az
riculture, and especially in those car
ried on in corporate forms.
The existing relations between en-
nloyers and employees.
The effect Of the Industrial condi-
tons on public welfare and the rights
and powers of the community to deal
Herewith.
The conditions of sanitation and
safety of employees and the provisions
for protecting their lives, limbs and
health
The growth of associations of en-
ployers and wage earners and the ef.
feet of such associations upon the re-
lations between employers and EN-.
ployees.
The methods tried In any state or
foreign countries for maintaining mu-
tually satisfactory relations between
employers and employees.
The methods for avoiding or adjust
Ing labor disputes through peaceful
and conciliatory mediation and negoti-
atoms.
The Qfiuestion of smuggling or other
Illegal entry OF Asfatics into the Unit
ed States or Its insular possessions.
The underlying causes of dissatis-
faction in the Industrial situation.

in New England with all her
hallowed memories and traditions,
the movement for industrial up
lift should find expression among
the descendants of the men
whose sacrifices and achievements
contributed SO much to the establish
ment of political independence and
religious freedom on this continent.
While the problem of labor is one az
fecting all sections of our country and
all the countries Of the world, yet We
may look to the east, to the men of
New England, for a voice that, like
that of the immortal Revere, shall
warn US of our danger and point the
way to safety.
There are at this time many aspects
Of the labor question that deserve and
demand immediate consideration; noe
the least Of these being the revision OF
our laws so as to make them compati-
BILE with the changes in our social and
industrial life that have followed the
momentous development of machinery
and methods of production.
Wage earners must take the initia-
tive In any movement calculated to
promote their own interests or to pro-
tect them against the evils which have
grown out of the combination and con-
solidation of capital; they must be
both courageous and patient, aggres-
sive yet prudent; they must build
their organizations on sound founda-
tons and conduct them on business
lines, and 1t is highly important to the
security Of the wage-earners and the
safety of society that women workers
shall be organized, and thus protected
against the demoralizing influences
that have always attended overwork,
excessive hours and under-nutrition.
The exhortation Of Wendell Philips
cannot be too strongly emphasized:
Organize and stand together! Let the
nation hear united demand from the
laboring voice"

The young man left the room. As he
passed down the stairs he shivered- Falk-

Already he had guessed who 1t was wait
ing for him. Mademoiselle rose to her
feet with a little cry.
AT last she exclaimed Dear maker
of toys. how long you have been! How
weary IL has been to waltz
She came into his arms. He patted her
head gently.
Dear little one,"
You are taking me to supper" she
begged.
He shook his head. Her face fell, the
big tears were already in her eyes
But you are troubled" she cried. 'Oh,
come and forget it all for a time! Isn't
that what you told me once was my use
or sing. or lead you through the light
paths. SO that your brain could rest? Let
me take you there. dear one. Tonight. II
ever. you have the look in your face.
You need rest. Come to me,'
He looked at her steadfastly, looked at
her feeling as one far away gazing down
upon some strange element in life- Then
a thought came to him.
Little one he whispered. you are

YOU desire. Only after supper / pass
on"
And with you2" she implored.
He shook his head.

Estermen shrieked. He half rose to his
feet. but Falkenberg. holding the wheel in
his right hand, struck him across the face
with his left so that he fell back In. his
place.

Il swear that 1 will stop and come back.

looking, settled down in his seat. A grim
smile parted his lips.

upon your shoulder now!' he cried. Can
you'll hear the water In your ears! Hold
fast. Don't spoil the end!''
They were going at sixty miles an hour,
and with the slightest swerve Of the steer
ing wheel they turned to the left on en-
tering the bridge and struck the boards.
Henri. in his account of the accident de-
clared that although the car turned over
before it reached the river. Falkenberg
never left his seat. Estermen, on the
other hand, was thrown violently out and
struck the water head foremost. From
the condition Of his body it would seem
that death was instantaneous. Falken-
berg was found with his arms locked
around the steering wheel. his head bent
forward. He. too, seemed to have been
drowned almost Immediately. The steer

The authorities, who had left only a

censured. The makers OF the car were
subjected to a very searching cross-exam-
lnation. The brakes and the uncertain
light were blamed. Henri who from the
