Pension Plan Economical.
The pension system has been found
economical as all the money goes d.
rectly to the children and their mother
and the family is not subjected to the
insult OF charity any more than the
pupil in the public school. Under this
system families are not broken up;
hope Eliminates the life OF the moth
err; she remains at home and takes
care Of her own children; the little
ones may have home Of which they
are proud, and the records Of the juve-
nile courts show that the usual juve-
nile delinquency has about disappeared
from pensioned families
Before the pension system was
adopted in Chicago, 300 out of 100
children were brought into court on
charges OF petty theft and other in
fractions of the law. After these same
1900 children had been pensioned only
three were brought into court on
charges The cause of this is the pen
sion which enables the mother to re-
main at home and look after her own
children. The results are amazingly
successful, and Chicago will soon abol-
Ish entirely from the city limits, child
poverty, the blight of civilization.
Begging must stop. 1t is failure.

Crime Against Motherhood.

Early in 1911 l happened to run into
this supreme crime against mother
hood and childhood. Selling black ba-
bies away from their mothers, out
ragged humane persons throughout the
world and helped bring on the bloody
civil war. But have seen white moth
-ers, good mothers, noble mothers, se-
parated forever from their own chill
dren, because they were poor and this
crime was committed in the name of
kindness and charity. l hope God will
forgive them. This Is, going on in
New York state at this very hour and
any person may prove it by visiting the
juvenile courts and observing the pro-
cesses.
Appalled, at the separation Of mother
and child, the supreme crime, and the
most awful punishment that could be
devised by friends, l conceived the idea
of pensioning mothers. Quietly the
law was passed in Illinois and went
into effect on July /, 1911. Since that
time thousands of children have BEEN
relieved from poverty and the breaking
up OF homes has been checked The
new system met with the approval of
the public and at this time has been
adopted by eighteen states. The beg
ging charities of Chicago have proven
inefficient, in the eyes of the public.

horde of investigators" could not

minent business men. Many heartily |

In every city, large and small, are
organizations OF well meaning people
who propose to care for children in
poverty. These people beg from the
rich and well-to-do to get money,
clothing, shelter and food for poor
children. Children who fall into the
hands of these charitable organizations
are first disgraced, then taken from
their mothers and in the end poverty
is not even relieved.
| Begging Is demoralizing to all con-
cerned, even when it Is done by fine
lady, or fine organization of our best
people, on fine stationary from a fine
Office. History shows that begging
failed to educate the children and as
industry demanded girls and boys who
could read and write, the free public
school system was established and has
just about abolished illiteracy.
Charity Schools q Failure.
Charity schools were "a miserable
failure. They have gone. But the Rus
sell Sage Foundation and other great
institutions will go piffling around try
ing to convince the people that charity
will relieve child poverty. Charity dis
graces the receiver, teaches him to beg,
and fills the giver with false pride
that hurts his character. Charity can
not even relieve child-poverty and 1t
does not even propose to abolish 1t.
For scores of years this begging
business went on unhindered. The
United Charities of Chicago collected
more than 100000 year, seyenty-five
per cent of which went to salaries Of
investigators. whose chief work was
jobs for dependent mothers |
Such jobs as they obtained were wash |
ing and scrubbing, laborious work |
which ruined the mother and broke up |
the family. Thousands of families
were broken up In this way. The tech
meal court charge for breaking up the
family, however, was truancy, delin-
quency, failing to keep the house
clean," or the mother was sent to the I
hospital broken down. Thus, juvenile
court records and the amazing Stats
les OF the charity trust show that no
ZONES were broken up by poverty. The
acts are that poverty was the cause
II all the broken homes that passed
through the juvenile court and charity

Big Federation
Fight IS SETTLED
Amalgamation Of Macbinists
and Elevator Con-
Structors.

Philadelphia. Nov. 19.--What was
regarded as the most important
jurisdictional fight in the American
Federation of Labor this year was
settled in convention today in favor
of the International Union of Eleva-
tor Constructors over the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists. For
more than five years the machinists
sought to have the elevator con-
structors amalgamate with them in
order to do away with numerous jur-
isdictional disputes. The matter has
been before several conventions of
the federation which has favored the
amalgamatiOn. but the elevator men
have always been able to fight off
the merger.
Today the Committee of Adjust
ment reported resolution instruct
ing the President and Executive
Council of the Federation to call a
conference of the parties in interest
within ninety days for the purpose
of bringing about amalgamation.
There was a protracted debate partic-
ipated in by officers of both unions
and other crafts more or less affected
in the dispute.
Finally James Duncan, first vice
president of the Federation, offered
a substitute resolution which provid-
ed that the present status of the ele-
vator constructors be continued with
the understanding that the elevator
men with the assistance of the ma
chinists and allied trades and the
cooperation of the Executive Coun-
Gil of the Federation, make every
effort within their power by trade
agreements and otherwise to erect
only material that has been manufac-
tured by union men.
There was a long discussion on the
substitute and it was adopted by a
vote of 1850 to S,O4S.
Nearly the entire days session
was taken up with the report of the
Committee on Adjustment. which re-
ported the amicable settlement of a
number Of jurisdictional disputes.
Some of the jurisdictional differences
were put up to the convention by the
and these invariably caus-
ed discussion.
The trouble between the stationary
engineers and firemen was referrd to
a future conference of those involved
with a view to amalgamation. Fur
Their efforts will also be made to
bring about amalgamation of the
and the lithOgraphing
proofreaders. There was a long fight
over the question of the American
of Cement Workers be-
ing absorbed by the International
Hold Carriers. Building and Common
Laborers' Union of America with the
result that further efforts are to be
made by the Executive Council to
have the cement workers agree to the
absorption.

The Remedy Is Available.

Adverity falls heavily upon the
persons woho have increased capi-
tai business enterprises and the pub
lie learns it by the announcements
of the passing and the cutting of
dividends, but the blow which falls
upon the investors also hits the army
of wage-earners. Under normal con-
ditions there are $4,000 employees
of the Stetl corporation. Today, with
the plants operating at less than one
half of capacity, the number of en-
ployes must be cut in two. Through
idleness the wage-earner suffers a
loss of income just as does the in
weston whose capital cannat be profit
ally employed.
If Industrial conditions do not i'm

nate in retaining partial employment,

in the operating force of the Steel
Corporation is not exceptional. The
Baldwin Locomotive Works, employ
ing when operating at capacity 49,
900 men, now have work for less
than 1000. The Roebling plant at
Trenton has but small payroll at
present compared with the usual
number OF employees. and such condi-
tions are common.
Lack of employment and reduc-
ed incomes follow naturally in the
wake of a low tariff law To the
