Conference.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 12.-"Child

normal standard of living" said Mr..
Mckelway. The wages of child

communities are high enough to tempt
the parents to send their children to
work, while at the same time bring
ing down adult wages to the child's
standard"
"Out of 3,409 workers whose actual
wages were copied from the pay rolls
of southern cotton mills" he said.
only 1,444 earned from So to SO a
week, and one of these was boy and
one girl under twelve years Of age.
I'VE shall never reach a living wage
for the individual worker in the child

pIoyment is everywhere prohibited by
