CRITICISES
SOUTH'S LABOR LAWS
Omitted Press Day Service)

New Orleans, March 19-"South-
erners feel that the poor child was
born to toll aud should be set at it
early Wiley II. Swift of Green's
hoco, n. e.. told the delegates to the
tenth annual con:e1cace on child labor
here. His address was scathing de-
runciation of southern standards ami
southern ideals. "Our people have
always been kind and charitable, but
they have never been just" he cried.
He said in pert:
why is the south so far below
standard in its child labor laws? l re-
fer especially to North and South
Carolina, {. orpia, Alabama and Mis-
siSs;pni. We southerners are not indif-
ferent to the rights of childhood; per-
haps we are victims of an accumu-
lation of facts and circumstances over
which We have not had control. AS
successors to the civilization Of 50
years ago, we still feel that there is
Il difference in children, that the poo.
child was born to toll and should be
set at it early. Our people have al
ways been kind and charitable, but
hey have never been just. The chill
dren OF the poor have been allowed
to work because we have known or
thought little of absolute human
rights. Furthermore we do not prop
erly understand the laws of COM
munity progress or know just what
we are doing. We have no reliable data
because there have been no investiga
tions, or until recently we have re-
sented any suggestion that we needed
to learn.
"We of the south have been pecul-
iarly jealous of our reputation and
have in many cases hid our eyes lest
we see things that were not good. Mr..
Walter Pages speech on the Forgot
ten Man was bold. When DR.. Stiles
said we had hookworm, the lie was
all but passed. But the signs are
hopeful. Our educational forces are
now hunting for the forgotten man
and as a result of the investigation
carried on through Rockefeller insti-
tute, hookworm is almost as fashion
able as appendicitis.
"Up to this time we have allowed
ourselves to be deluded because our
manufacturers have said things were
all right and We have respect for men
of influence and wealth. If we have
cried out against the bad rich it has
been because in our opinions most OF
the bad rich live next to Wall Street
and certainly north of the Mason and
Dixon line. To appoint an inspector
j for our own mill villages would be a
reflection upon the word and charac-
ter of good men!
"But above all, the reason child
labor continues is that the manufac-
turer wants the child in his mill. Since
this manufacturer considers child la
Dor of such vital Importance that he
is willing to go to the legislature to
fight for the right to work child, you
need not be surprised that he still
permits large number Of our chill
dren to be taken from school and
placed at work, and that on any work
day in the cotton mills, week in and
week out, hundreds Of girls in short
dresses may be found standing ii
hours"
