labor problem at present is that of the
| little oyster shuekers on the Gulf coast.
| These children are nomads, coming on
oyster luggers from the north Atlantic
coast to the southern coast for the win
ter oyster packing season, and return
ing to the Chesapeake Bay canneries
for the summer. The children are with
their parents-parents without mental
ability or moral standards, with no con-
ccption of right living and no interest
beyond their daily food supply. Wheth-
er the case is for the law or the Cos
pei, local charities or national philan-
thropies, | confess, | cannot determine.
Perhaps measure of responsibility rests
on each"
Mr.. Swift said:
Time and time again during the past
year, / have been made to feel that
what we need in North Carolina is
larger membership in the national child
labor committee. So far as | can see,
we must depend upon this organization
to aid us in doing many of the things
which must be done.
Back of all attempts to secure prop.
er legislation and proper inspection lies
greater work, namely, that of making
the people themselves feel such neei
for improvement that they actually de-
mand that it be made. If the commu-
nifty only knew the worth of children
and could only place the proper estimate
upon child life, children would come into
their own at once. What we need in
North Carolina and in the whole South
is somebody who will shake up this fac
tory population as our farmers have
been shaken up. The trouble with us
is that our people do not consider"
Rev. DIR. Weltner of st. Luke's Luth-
eran mission, among cotton mill opera
tives at Olympia, Columbia, S. c., said:
"Welfare work among cotton mill
operatives is a perplexing problem be-
cause of the illteracy and the transient
character of the mill population. 9th
er phases of their condition, such as
the absence of leadership and organiza-
tion, the low age limit set by the child
labor law of South Carolina, and the
prevalence of early and illadvised mar
.iages and weakening of home life
greatly complieate efforts at welfare
work. The greatest needs of the pres
mt are statewide compulsory school
attendance law, l4year age limit for
working children and birth registration
aw. Also, we need to have labor
inion of cotton mill operatives, whose
eaders have brains, hearts and con-
cienees."

Suffragette Tells of Ruse Used in the
Parade, As She Testified at
Hearing.

Washington, March l5.-The Washing.

senatorial investigating committee yes

Thomas Nelson Page, who was chair
man of the reception committee, COM
| plimented Chief of Police Sylvester. He
said he saw the disbandng of the parade
and that everything was orderly at that
point. All he heard from marchers at
that time was that the crowds were SO
dense that nobody could have driven
them back.
Charles C. Lancaster, an attorney,
said it was wrong to blame the po-
lice for conditions beyond their pow
er.
A defense of Major Sylvester was
made by suffragettes themselves. Mrs.
j. NJ. Meyer, who marched in the Flaw
section" of the parade, said that the
police as a rule used every effort to con
troll the crowds. She praised their con-
duct generally, giving only two instances
in which two officers laughed or jeerel
with the crowd at the paraders.
Representatives. A. S. johnson OF
Washington state, who prefaced his tes-
timony by saying that he was one nj
the first advocates for woman, suffrage,
highly praised the police.
Il did not see one officer who was
not doing all he could" he said. "The
police formed human chains to push
back the crowd, which was most good
natured One reason the crowd was
a busiye was that the managers of the
parade did not provide some comedy
Mrs Elizabeth Weed told of her ex-
perienees as a marcher.
I'VE planned to use our hatpins if the
crowd didn't stop encroaching," she said.
"At one time some one in our section
shouted, Girls, get out your hatpins'-
but as soon as the roughs heard that
they backed away"

day of July. 1914. This bill has re-
ceived an unfavorable report at the

representatives of the South Carolina
Cotton Manufacturers association. that
if the compulsory education bin was en-
acted. they would unite with MS in Sc
curing the passage Of bill raising the
age limit in South Carolina"
Mrs. Bailey told Of the enactment Of
the present law that gives Mississippi
the distinction OF being the only south
ern state with an eight-hour day for all
under lG wears She then said:
To the best Of the knowledge and
belief Of the chii labor committee. the
child labor law has been strictly en-
forced. as regards cotton mills and fac

FEWER AIDES FOR WILSON
Likely to Have Only Half the Officers
That Accompanied Taft.

Washington, March l5.-President
Wilson is working out a plan to elm
mate as much OF the military about
him as possible. II was announced yes
terday that Major Thomas L. Rhoads,
who was President Taft's chief mill
tary and personal aide. would be con
tinued under President Wilson. but that
the assignment of other aides at tie
White House would probably be changed.
There are now twelve officers serving
as aides. and il is believed that the new
executive will reduce this number by
al least half. Wilson is opposed to
military display and has already direct
ed that when aides accompany him in
public they shall not wear a uniform.

the greatest preacher in the world
that his countrymen and the whole

he talked in Washington before q

things he said which show why he
stands monumental man in our
public life like some great modern
apostle, beyond the hurt of any
shaft of envy, malice, ridicule or
