FOR UNIFORM FACTORY LAWS.
Textile Manufacturers Start Campaign
at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, May 81 The
textile manufacturers last night agreed
to launch campaign for uniform fac
tory laws in all of the big industrial
states. The association adopted a
resolution urging the Pennsylvania
Legislature to provide for commission
to investigate the conditions relating
to he employment of women and minors,
to ascertain the extent of occupational
diseases to which they are liable. to
report the best means for prevention
and to confer with a similar commits
sion from other states, with a view to
several states. Should the legislature
fail to provide for commission the
manufacturers agreed that the assoc1a-
tion shall create one.

bordering on the south the land at
present occupied by the district. IT
this lot is added to the Oak Grove
school grounds, the play grounds at the
rear of the school building will be
made much more valuable for all kinds
of sports, and, what is far more i'm
portant, in ease the building should be
enlarged at some future time. some
much needed space would be available.
4 glance at a plan of the Oak Grove
school property will show that the
Akeley lot naturally belongs to it, and
should be obtained by the district
while possible to DO so at a reasonable
price. We unhesitatingIy advise its
purchase.
Article 3, relating to the raising of
necessary funds, provided the first two
articles are acted upon favorably, sug-
gests that certain sum should be
mentioned in this place sufficient to
meet approximately the expense to be
incurred That sum, based upon care
full estimates, will be not far from
1000.
Articles and ) have to do with the
selection of a site for another school
building and the possible requirement
by the district of such property. The
full report of the committee in charge
will be given at the special school
meeting to be held Thursday evening,
but the statement of a few facts may
not be out of place here.
This duty on the part of the commit
tee, namely, to select the site for a
school building which is eventually to
accommodate the lower grades now
housed IN the same quarters as the
high school, is most difficult one.
| Three properties have been considered,
one that tract Of land which embraces
the High street school grounds and the
territory adjoining these grounds on
the west, terminating at Cedar street;
another the unoccupied land on Flat
street, owned by the 5. A. Smith
! company, Just west of its factory, a
| lot extending some $50 feet along Flat
/ street, with depth of about 500 feet;
and the third and last the Hines estate
| (so-caHed), now owned by Miss Annie
! L. Kirwan, situated on Green street
| This property contains about three
acres of land on which are four dwell
ing houses.
No price has been placed upon the
High street property, nor have we
/ tried to get an option upon it, since i
seems to our minds too remote from
/ the center OF the village TO be dNaIl
able. The Flat street property may
be purchased for 100000. The price Sc
upon the Hines estate in its entirety il
100000; or. if the two houses at it
easterly end are not included, tn,
amount asked is $4,000.
We do not recommend OF this tim
the purchase of either of these proper
ties, at the prices named, yet are glat
to have the matter placed before tn
citizens of the district for frank dis
/ eussion 1t is a subject of the great
est Importance to our schools, demand
ing deliberate Judgment, as well as
generous appreciation of the necessi
ties of the case. We trust that bot
may be in evidence at the COMM
meeting.

Brattleboro, May 26, 1913.
Editor of The Reformer:-
Some questions having been asked
relative to the business to be brought
before the special school meeting of
district No 2 on Thursday evening of
this week, the following statement,
covering briefly the first five articles
in the warrant, may he acceptable:
Article / calls for the finishing
ready for use, of the second story of
the Oak Grove school building This
action is in harmony with the state
ments made while this building was in
process of erection, TO the effect that
should the number OF children in this
section of the village be large enough
to Justify it, at the end of the present
school year, such additional accommo-
dation would be necessary. The pupils
in the two rooms now occupied number
from so to 80. These belong to the
first three grades with few of the
fourth grade. At the beginning of the
fab term there will be class of at
least 25 to be promoted; and, since
the corresponding grades in the Canal
street and Main street buildings need
all the room at their disposal, accom-
modations must be provided for this
class in the Oak Grove building it.
self. Possibly only one room may be
required at first, but it will be more
economical and create less confusion if
both rooms on the second floor are fin
ished off at the same time, even if
both are not equipped and furnished
ready for immediate occupancy. We
recommend the completion of these
two rooms, together with the Railways
and whatever else may be required tx
put the second story Of this building
in good order.
Under article reference is made tt
the proposed purchase of an additiona
lot to enlarge the Oak Grove schoo
grounds. The lot in question, owne,
by Mrs A. d. Akeley, has a frontag

ucts and the elimination OF waste, loss
and unnecessary charges. Concerning
the new division, Secretary Houston on
Saturday said:
There has been an inslstent and grow
ing demand that the government take
steps to help in the establishment of
economic systems of distribution and
marketing of farm products. Congress,
at the last regular session, made an APP
preparation of $4,000 to begin the work.
The business of farming is an important
part OF the great business structure OF
the country and economical methods OF
marketing farm products and the sup
plying of farmers with proper credit
facilities at reasonal interest rates are
the great practical problems that must be
settled before radical improvement IN
the social and economic conditions OF
country life can be attained
THE Office of markets will. as far
as possible, be manned by experienced
men. The cotton handling and market
ing studies will be continued and, as
quickly as possible, specific work with
food products will be taken up. Some

Washington, May l9.--Announcement
Saturday by Chairman Simmons of the
Senate committee that the subcommit.
tees considering the various schedules OF
the Underwood tariff bill had determined
to grant more time to protesting manu-
facturers than originally was intended,
aroused considerable interest at the cap
itol. Despite the fact that the effort of
the Republicans in the Senate to force
public hearings on the bill was defeated
by vote of 36 to Al, the minority lead
ers see in the changed tactics of the
Democrats a concession which they claim
has resulted from the denunciation of
secret consideration of the bill.
Another interesting development in
line with the extension of private hear
ings was the determination of Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia, member of
the subcommittee considering the cot
ton and chemical schedules, to have the
private hearings conducted by him taken
down by a Senate stenographer. This
is an innovation which, the Republicans
assert, was brought about through the
insistence of Senators La Toilette and
Bristow, who argued that the private

II also has been agreed that the finance
will send TO the manufaetur-
ers the list of questions on costs and
production proposed by Senator La Fol-
lette.
Still another liberalizing feature re-
sulting from the debate on the Penrose-
La Toilette public hearing amendment
was the reiteration by Senator Hoke
Smith and some of his colleagues that
members OF the press could attend the
private hearings. Though Senator Smith
