MELTSFLOR|DA MEN
Conference. Received at First
With Disfavor, Is Dined by
Jacksonville Citizens.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. March IL
Just to show the Child Labor Conferees
that their hearts are in the right place,
and that the movement for the emanci-
patton of little fingers from body and
soul-shriveling toll is of not interest
alone to reformers. the business men of
Jacksonville entertained the delegates
of the annual child conference at lun.
cheon today.
Commercial men of this city have
been a little dubious about this con-
ference; their enthusiasm was luke
warm at first But degree by degree it
climbed the thermometer of interest
until yesterday. when the conference
adjourned after a particularly eloquent
session. the rock-ribbed conservative
citizens Of this progressive CONNER
cial city decided the child labor agita-
tors were worth while. and asked them
all to stay over for blowout"
hd sSor more of ors
than fifty charter members has been
organized and will spread the doc
trine against the employment of chill
dren in the cotton mills.
Plain Fact Oratory.
The final session finished in a.burst
of real oratory. 1t was not the ora
tory of words and fanciful flights of
imagination. 1t was the oratory of
cold, plain facts about child labor
that were eloquent than any words.
Senator Hudson of Florida, chairman
Of the meeting. sounded the note of old
time American democracy. and its
threatened destruction through the
building up of a feuaal system by the
great employers of the nation. He is
sued call to all good citizens to ar
ray themselves against the forces OF
evil. controlled by the mill and factory
owners
The Senator was followed by DR.. Nc
Kelway, who confined his talk to The
cotton mills. He told the audience
things about child labor in the mills
that were new even at this final stage
Of the game.
Standard of Pay. -.
He said child labor was being used as
the standard Of pay that keeps the
workers below the poverty line. while
the employers pile up millions and grow
greedy for more power
THE employers have their strong
State and national associations" he
said, but they fear to permit their
workers TO organize and see to IL that
the constables escort out of town the
union delegates who come to preach
lords OF the cotton mills draw UP petit
tons for the employees to sign begging
to be delivered from working less than
sixty-five hours a week. They literally

The carpenter lives a wild, free life on
the ridge poles and caves like a cat and
likes nothing better than to fill his face
full OF single nails and put a new lid
on the house of a prominent citizen.
Nothing fills the common citizens with
more awe than to see a carpenter drive
a large low-browed nail into the side of
a house without using guides or sights
i carpenter can drive a nail six inches
into a beam with five blows, but an
amateur can do better than that. He
can drive it AZ feet IN an obique direc-
ton with one wild swat.
Carpenters make from 81 to 5 a day
and 90 home at o'clock leaving a lath
hanging in the air without visible means
Of support. Unlike school teachers, they
take their vacation in the winter. After
a carpenter has waited for three months
for the weather which viii allow him to
get out on a scaffOlding and work with
out freezing his ears, he sometimes
wishes he was a banker or some other
beast of burden.
A bright boy with a true eve can be-
come a carpenter in four or five years.
Other people can learn the trade in from
100 to 400 years, providing a good ma
tured public gives them enough houses
and timber to practice upOn.-COpyright
