The Luxurious "Wrap-ArounF' stole Of

nothing, to my mind, no array OF

stoles are broad and long, and are

Edward r. Brown, one of the in

a tour of the canning districts of the
state on a motorcycle, devoting the en-

work. His description of conditions as
he found them will interest, if not
shock. everyone who believes that in

should be lifted above the level of those
of centuries gone by.

1t hardly is conceivable that sue

When a wealthy Gamer of western
New York was asked by an inspector
for the state factory commission why
he did not provide rest facilities for
his women employees, he made the fore
going answer. 1t fairly represents the
attitude of the majority of the cam
ners of New York toward the mother
hood. childhood and babyhood that
have been exploited in the amassing of
fortunes.

1t now develops that the testimony
of Miss Chamberlain is only a small
part of the mass of information in the
hands of the inspectors assigned to
this work last summer. The facts form
a severe arrangement of the men in
control of the Ginning industry as a
class.

America Has Euery Legal Right
Under Treaty Act With British
BY LEWIS X o

the United States rests on the modified
rules of the convention of C%onstantinople
for the navigation of the Suez canal.
We know thai a number of the sigma
tory powers directly rebate tolls collected
for the passage of their vessels, and most
OF them do so indirectly. Their right to do
so has passed unchallenged. yet our tory
friends In this argument confront US with
the weird contention that the United
states. having adopted these rules. is
barred from doing the very things that
other nations, parties to such convention,
have done and are doing.
30 that the powers who ratified the con-
ventton OF Co~nstantinople directly support
by their acts our rights under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty to favor our own ship
ping, and certainly no one will contend
that II we have the right to collect the
tolls at Panama and then repay them that
we have not the right to remit them in
the irst instance.
To quote the president Of the United
States upon this question:.
IF 1t 10 correct to assume that there is
nothing In 1.-The Hay-Pauncefote treaty pre-
venting Great Britain and the other ma
lions from extending such favors as they
may see at to their shipping using the
canal, and doing 1t in the way they see ht.
n II It Is also right to assume that there
p nothing in the treaty that gives the
United States any supervision over, or
r1gnt to complain of. such action, then tho
britlsh protest leads to the absurd con-
clusion that this government. in construct
tng the canal. maintaining the canal and
defending the canal. finds itself shorn OF
the r.ght to deal with Its own In
rtts own way. while all other nations using
the canal in competition with American
commerce enjoy that right and power un-
impaired"
Now. to show the Inconsistency Of those
who argue against the rights Of their own
country. we find them basing all their ar
Euments on section / OF article 3, one only
OF the rules adopted.
This rule says hat the canal sha be
free and open to the vessels of
and OF war Of all nations observing these
rules, upon terms Of entire equality. They
construe this to mean that we are prevent
"a from preferring our own vessels Of
commerce.
But Il IL appaies to vessels of commerce
II must in exac terms apply to vessels Of
war.
In other words. under any unauibbled
construction Of this section We cannot ex-
clude vessels OF war and include vessels
Of under our nag unless we are
u . class apart. ~ OF course We are.
Yet 1t IL claimed that We are forbidden
to discriminate in favor OF our own veg
sels of commerce. and ~ vessels OF war
and commerce are linked together, to be
consistent they must argue that We can
not discriminate in favor Or our own YES
sels Of war.

cars.
We found Instances in which the
padrone also received Il rake-off from
padrone. after delivering his human
herd. is engaged by the Gamer as an
overseel. receiving from $3.50 to So a.
day for this work. And still further,
the padrone often is granted the COM
mlssary privilege in the canning camp,
selling sausages. cheese and other
foods. Thus the padrone get a fee from
the employer. a fee from the employee,
sometimes a rake-off on transportation,
a job as overseer and often commits
sary privileges. He is therefore a most
important factor in the canning situa-
ton.
The Padrone's Rule.
I'm the matter of discipline he is vir-
tually supreme. He rules with an iron
hand. Not only the children but the
adult workers hold him in fear. In the
picking season, when the women and
~children-even the nursing babies-are
in the field. h padrone walks up and
down.. big stick in hand. urging speed
and seeing to it that the very small
children pick the vines clean. Children
scarcely out of their cradles can hard
ly be expected to do thorough work IL
left to themselves. During the pick.
ing. the babies too young to walk are
laid away in fence corners and left to
care for themselves.
From the time the dew is off the
vines in the morning until it gets too
dark the mothers bend over, stopping
in their work only long enough to nurse
their babies or eat a few bites of old

The tory contention of the Hay-Paunce-
fOte treaty rests on Section / of Article
III. taken alone and unqualified b. the
other sections of the other articles. They
Say hat the rules apply to all vessels of
commerce and war Of all nations: that the
United States. which makes and enforces
the rules. is a nation. hence the rules APP
ply to the United States vessels of war
and commerce..
There were two Hay-PauncefOte treaties
negotiated. The first was negotiated in
1900 and transmitted to the Senate for APP
prevail in February of that year.
Senator Root. who takes the tory side.
presented q document to the Senate on
January 1S. 1911. giving q history of the
amendments made to the convention Of
1900 to make 1t acceptable to the Senate.
Let US scan this document vised by Mr..
Hay n submitted by senator Root.
It will be noted that in Article III of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. instead of the
United States and Great Britain jointly
adopting 40 the basis~kf the neutralixA-
ton OF the the rules of neutrality
prescribed for its use as was provided in
the hrst treaty. the United States. alone
adopts them.
Let W quote from Mr.. Hays memoran-
dunn upon this change:
This change relieves Great Britain of
all responsibility and obligation to enforce
III neutrality OF the canal, which by the
former treaty had been imposed upon or
assumed by her jointly with the United
States.
THE United States alone. ~ the sole
owner OF the canal, as . purely American
.enterprise. adopts n prescribes the rules
by which b use, Of the canal shall be
regulated n assumes the entire respon-
stbility n burden Of enforcing, without
the assistance CT Great Britain or of any
other nation. It's ahsolute neutrality"
The whole idea OF contract right in the
canal On the part OF any Of the powers
was entirely eliminated and the vessels Of
any nation which shall refuse or fail to
Observe the rules adopted and prescribed
may be deprived OF the use Of the canal.
And please note that the rules are to be
observcd-not one rule.
Lord L~ansdoNne. under date Of August
), 1So1. wrote:
1T would appear to follow that the
whole responsibility upholding these rules.
and thereby maintaining the neutrality of
the canal would henceforWard be assumed
by the government Of the United States.
