CHILD CONGRESS.
MANY STATES REPRESENTED
AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
Fight Against Child Labor VIII BE
Continued Throughout Country
Darkest Sides OF situation We're
Discussed-Poverty Among Work.
erS Received Attention.

Jacksonville, Fla, March 25.-
Especial 1.-The ninth annual Child
Labor Conference is over and the
delegates have scattered to the thirty
one states from which they came.
taking with them new courage and
hope for their fight against child la
bOr.
The darkest sides of the present sit
uation were set forth; the moral
hazards of night messenger service;
the low wages of adults in southern
cotton mills where more young chill
dren are working a long ten or eleven
hour day than in any other industry;
the physical dangers Of work in glass
factories, still permitted to boys un-
der 16 years old in Pennsylvania and
West Virginia; the interstate COM
merce in little children between the
canneries and berry fields of the
middle states and the shrimp and
oyster canneries of the south; the
horrors of tenement home work in
New York and other large cities; and
the mockery of good child labor laws
written on statute books with no SUI
ficient provision for enforcement.
And yet there must have been i'm
mense encouragement in the tone OF
the conferences. In the first place
more states We're represented than
ever before: thirty-one in all, includ-
ing distant Iowa and Texas and all OF

ually it won't be long before the bald
spot appears.
The time to take care of the hair is
when you have the hair to take care
of.
For thin, falling hair the best rem
edy known to mankind is Partisan
Sage. 1t is compounded on scientific
principles and furnishes to the hair
root a nourishment that acts quickly
and promptly and causes the hair to
grow.
But remember this 1t kills the
dandruff germ, the pest that appro-
PIRATES all the natural nourishment
that should go to the hair root.
Partisan Sage is sold by Tallman &
Co. under a positive guarantee to
Danish dandruff, stop falling hair and
itching scalp in two weeks or money

and radiance that is most fascinating
and causes it to grow abundantly.

generous bottle costs so cents

the southern states east of the Mis-
sissippi. Dr. McKelway, southern
secretary OF the National Child Labor
Committee, at one of the sessions,
spoke OF the changed attitude OF the
southern delegates. no longer a little
inclined to be on the defensive, but
even outdoing him in unsaring criti-
cism of ther own state conditions.
People were, in fact, so busy think
ing out the difficulties of local situaI
tions which they would have to face,
that no time nor eloquence were vast
ed on evils in remote sections except
as they offered the lesson of expert
ence to points under discussion.
The subject Of the conference was
Child Labor and Poverty. All through
the papers and spontaneous discus
sions the speakers put far more en-
phasis on child labor as the cause OF
poverty, than on the oder idea OF
poverty as the cause of child labor.
Statistics were given from such wide
ly scattered critics as New York, Lit
tie Rock. New Orleans and Colum
bus, Georgia, to show that the widow
ed mother whose sole support is a
va &c Garner Of tender years exists
largely in the imagination of the men
who fins il profitable to employ the
child. Poye IS was shown to be the
indirect cause a. child labor, in its
limiting of the horizon of those par
ents who have worke hard or drift
ed with their neighbors and have lost
Gf they ever had it, the vision of
what education and citizenship might
mean to their children.
But Florence Kelly made con
vincing plea that industry should be
compelled to pay its way and bear
the burden of the disabled worker. of
the woman widowed by industrial ac-
cident, and of the workers who do
not now receive from industry a wage
that will support their families. Right
here the thread of argument was ta-
ken up by the conference and many
speakers dwelt on the lowering of
adult wages by the employment Of
children
The Alabama Child Labor Commit
tee called on the National Child Labor
committee to send a speaker through
out the state to make the people of
Alabama know about the little chill
dren in the fish canneries, and the
boys coming in contact with vice in
the work as night messengers. but as
Mr. Lovejoy explained, the commit
tee faces in every state a situation
demanding an expert worker and with
! is present resources there are not
enough expert workers to go around.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-03-25

The following resolution was pass
ed with unanimous enthusiasm
Resolved That the National Child
Labor Committee in convention as
sembled at Jacksonville, Florida
March 16, 1918, recognizes that upon
it has been laid the chief responsi
bility for bringing about the abolition
of child labor in the United States,
fully appreciates the magnitude of its
task and deplores the fact that
through the meagreness of its re-
sources thousands of American chill
dren, many yet unborn. will never Sc
cure the protection Of child labor
laws unless there is a greater awak-
ening of interest throughout the ma
ton in the cause of child labor re-
form.
"That we therefore appeal, not only
to the citizenship of the nation to
increase the resources at our COM
mand and thus our opportunities for
service. but also to all other nation
al organizations which stand for the
welfare of society in the respective
| spheres of education health, industry
and social service for their co-opera-
| tion.
THAT this committee asks especial
| ly that there be supplied for the pro-
motion of child labor reform not
| only the active sympathy of these or
| ganizations but that special investi-
cation of child labor conditions be
I conducted from the different points
of view which these organizations
| have taken in their respective spreres
| of work, and we mention among them
while excluding none, The National
| Education Association. The American
Medical Association, The American
Academy of Medicine The National
| Association for the Prevention of Tu-
| berculosis, The American Red Cross
The American Bar Association. The
Russell Sage Foundation, The Gener-
al Federation of Women's Clubs The
,, National Council of Jewish Women,
| The Social Service Commission of the
Federation of Churches, The Catholic
/ Conference of Charities. The National
| Conference of Charities and Correc-
! tions. The American Association OF
Labor Legislation, The American Fed

| the hild-employing industries, while
forming only a small percentage of
| industrial establishments have
brought the reproach of child labor
upon American industry itself, the
