paid a fee for his services. instead of
a salary as at present, and the un-
~dersheriff looked to him for his pay.
At the end of Sheriff Nicolis
term a salary compensation was fixed
for both officials. and although Bene-
dict continued TO give his extra time

In proportion to nearly 10000, 600 people of New
York the number of tiny children employed in canneries
in the State is small. Yet their cruel bondage should not
be tolerated. Such an abuse is not measured by arith-
metlc but by sympathy. And we doubt if any industrial
revelation of recent years has SO shocked the community
as has Miss Chamberlain practically undisputed descrip-
hon of young children with bruised, cut fingers, yawning
at their monotonous toll, beaten by their parents when
they rebel or when the instinct of play overbears their
WEAKNESS.
1t will be said that the canning industry cannot be
maintained in New York if children under ten are not
employed, since their puny strength is used in other
States. If that were true, then we should say, let the in
pushy perish. Let New York set a high example to other
States and shame them to her level.
) But It is not true. 1t is an old, old story, proved false
a hundred times. The insurance companies, we were
