BY A. j. NcKELwAY.

The present child labor law OF the Dis
trict is defective because of the proviso'
| attached to it by way of Senate amend
ments when the bill was passed by Con-
gress in May, 1905. These amendments
allow children of any age to be en-
ployed as pages in the Senate, allow
| children Of any age to be employed on
the stage. and allow the judge OF the
Juvenile Court to lower the standard OF
child protection by allowing children OF
| twelve years Of age to be employed un-
der certain conditions of poverty and de-
pendence.
Nearly every State of the Union which
had at first adopted the poverty cXemp-
tion clause in its child labor act has re-
pealed this provision of the law un-
sound in its philosophy. not only in
placing the burden of family support
upon the immature shoulders of a child
and in condemning the child already
handicapped by poverty to the ranks of
the unskilled workmen, but also as OPEN
ing a wide door for the violation Of the
law. This has been the history Of this
provision in the District.
The cases of forty-one children who
were given permits to work during school
hours during 1900 were carefully studied
by the field secretary of the Children's
Council OF Washington and in all but
eleven cases 1t was proved that there
was no need in the poverty of the family
for the issuing of these permits.
The permits for the employment OF the
children of the stage are issued by one
of the Commissioners. which means that
a subordinate clerk in the Commission
er's office grants the permits to practi-
cally all applicants. though il is under
stood that the Commissioners have re-
Gently ordered that no child under four
years OF age shall receive a permit ex-
cept I'm exceptional cases. Two hundred
and twenty-nine permits were issued for
children on the stage during twenty
months from July /. 1910. more than two
thirds of these permits being given to
Iocal children. A very large proportion
OF these children being from four to
eight years of age.
Five children, whose ages range from
eight to fourteen. have appeared at the
Gayety. a theater which does not have
women or boys under sixteen years in
its audience. Many of the children sing
at out-of-door theaters in the summer
The real attraction for the children is
the amateur nights at the Majestic and
the Casino Theaters. During one month
thIrty-four children received permits to
appear at these two theaters. We have
now a group of about thirty children.
who might be called professional anna
teurs. and, at six years of age, they
have all the airs of the oid-time pro-
fessionaIs
Another abuse in the District which |
needs to be corrected by a better law |
and some adequate enforcement Is the |
employment of children in what are /
known as the street trades. which in
cludes the selling Of newspapers. Even |

the air passages than the smoke Of any
other substance that burns.
That tobacco engenders a taste or
craving for alcohol Is a prehistoric fall
lacy preserved for us, in fossil form, by
the Sunday school tracts and physiology
books. Against il lies the fact that no one
has ever produced an iota OF evidence
that smoking and drinking have any
relationship whatever. Indeed, II is a
common observation that devotees of the
weed are often teetotalers. and that dip
somaniacs not infrequentIy avoid tobacco
altogether. 1t may be alleged with some
reason that drinking now and then leads
to smoking II we base the charge upon
the honorable American custom of call
ing for a cigar when ones capacity for
liquids has been reached, but the op-
posite transition is omething that occurs
only in the pages of moral romance

particularly in winter, Is to be laid. not
TO the tobacco. but to the general i'm
becility of the smoker. A man who
smokes in the open air when the tenn
perature is at 20 degrees. and thus in

air. or begins to smoke before break
fast and keeps his mouth membranes and

he would grow hoarse much more rapidly

Child Labor Legislation
in District of Columbia

! a younger age than the law allows.
| The selling Of papers Is great en-
/ couraSer OF truancy from the schools.
In still another particular the child
| labor law OF the District is below the
| standard of several Of the more ad-
| vanced States. The law contains al age
| limit of sixteen for the employment OF
boys In the night messenger service.
New York, New Jersey and several other
States have forbidden the employment
OF boys under twenty-one in this occu-
patton. 1t should be stated in fairness
that conditions in Washington are bet
ter than those OF any city that has been
investigated in the East with regard to
the employment of messenger boys, in the
delivery OF messages to the redlight
districts. But the evil is great enough
here to demand a remedy.
The child labor law OF the District
has become in some features a dead
letter for want OF child labor inspectors
to enforce IT. In spite OF this fact the
Commissioners have recommended that
the two policemen detailed as child
labor inspectors be withdrawn from
that service. Doubtless the police are
needed elsewhere, but there should be
more than two inspectors to give their
whole time to this task. A model child
labor bill. based upon the Uniform Child
LABOR Law, which has been unanimously
indorsed by the American Bar Associa-
ton. has been introduced in the House
or Representatives and referred to the
District Committee, but there is little
hope OF its passage at this crowded
session OF Congress. 1t Is confidently
believed that the next Congress will
bring the District OF Columbia abreast
of our most progressive States in the
matter OF the protection OF working
children and the aid ana influence of all
patriotic citizens is invoked to this end.
The Day in the Churchhes.
This years observance of Child La
Dor Day Is marked by thousands of SER
mons and prayers in churches in the
District and In the States. Both yes
terday and to-day have been set apart
at the request of the National Child
Labor Committee. Last year on Child
Labor Day $3.50 ministers delivered
sermons urging the members Of their
congregations to fight against the en-
ployment Of children before they have
attained an age and development which
would not be injured by work. The
elimination of the campaign, which
had lasted seven years, was the estab-
lishment of a Federal Childs' Welfare
Bureau. Ministers are asked to discuss
child labor in tenement house manu-
featuring and to urge reform in the
conditions of child labor.
