pleting a public school course in his
native city he entered Yale College
and was graduated in the class of

recognized as one of the leaders of the
Pennsylvania bar. In 1892 President
Harrison appointed Mr. Shiras an as
sociate justice of the Supreme Court

to return to private life induced JUS

years. At the age of eighty-two the
former justice is in the enjoyment Of
excellent health for a man of his
years. In addition tc a permanent
residence in Washington he maintains

INCREMENT OF
CHILD LABOR Law
MISSISSIPPI STATUTE MADE
ouATELY ENFORCED, ACCORD
ING TO NATL COMMITTEE.

The following article on the situa-
ton in Mississippi relative to child
labor legislation and enforcement OF
laws already on the statute books,
sent out by the National Child Labor
Committee, is of interest at this time
as the legislature is considering the
enactment of more drastic laws
BIissful Ignorance.
well, now, 1 don't just exactly
know what the age limit for children
is in this state, or what the law is in
regard to hours" said a sheriff of one
of the counties in Mississippi. And
this state of blissful ignorance is typi-
cal of the majority of the officers
charged with the enforcement of Mis-
sissippi's child labor law, according to
a recent report of the National Child
Labor Committee. The county health
officer receives a SALARY Of $50 a
month. Naturally he has never been
inside of a factory. The deputies of
a county sheriff are many, and his
factory inspection must necessarily
be reduced to casual inquiry as to
chow conditions are" when he meets
a factory owner Upon the street. And
In the meantime the investigator for
sthe National Child Labor Committee
found children from to 16 working
ten and eleven hours day in factories
that were far from modern in their
sanitary equipment. Mississippi has
a law 10 prevent this. but of what value
asks the Mississippi Child Labor Com
mittee, is law that depends for its
iil1aid and already overworked to
such a degree that they are unable
even to inform themselves upon the
provisions of the child labor alw? AS
a way out of the difficulty, the commit
tee advocates the establishment of
state bureau which shall enforce the
labor laws. Until this is done, the
age limit for factories and the hour
day will not be observed.
If the child labor law is to be ade
quately enforced, the Mississippi child
labor committee thinks that it would
be advisable to have law which is
worth enforcing. The committee sug-
gests several serious defects in the
present law which should be remedied.
The present age limit applies only to
factories, mills and canneries, while
%fruit canneries are entirely exempt.
This means that boys and girls of any
age may be employed in stores, offices,
theatres, as messengers, or bootblacks.
The committee urges that the law be

the Newlands bill One is that 1t
would involve the outlay of too much
money, the other that the time re-
quired to make the preliminary sur
vey for all the projects contained in
the Newlands measure is so great
that several other floods might occur
between the passage of the measure
and the completion of the work out
lined, and it is especially desired that
whatever protection is to be given
farmers whose lands are frequently
flooded be given Immediately.
The fact that the administration is
going to take hand in the matter
and probably make it an administra-
ton measure, gives ground for the
belief entertained here that the New
lands and Ransdell-Humphreys fac
lions may get together The fact that
the President desires early action on
the matter indicates that he will not
consent to the delay in construction
that would be unavoidable in the New
lands bill. On the other hand, he will
insist that these irrigation, drainage
and other conservation projects be
carried out sooner or later.
Compromise Measure Likely.
For these reasons, it is believed the
two factions in the Mississippi river

dents great influence with Congress
makes it practically sure that any
measure he may lend his active sup
port to, will pass. And it is also felt
that his success in working out some
other measures for the benefit of the
people has been so phenomenal that
whatever sort Of compromise he ap-
proves will be generally satisfactory.
Will Give Adequate Relief.
This much is practically certain:
The measure that the President ap-
proves will not carry a smaller appro-
priation than the Humphreys
bill, which asks the Government for
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1914-01-26

$45,000,000 to be supplemented by
$15,000,000 from the landowners.
Probably it will not carry as large an
appropriation as the Newlands bill,
which asks for hundreds of millions
of dollars. The amount of the appro-
priation, in fact, has not been limited
at, but it is not the Wilson policy to
do things by halves, and the fact that
the President is taking a personal in
terest in the matter is regarded as
sufficient assurance that a bill will be
passed by the present Congress that
will give adequate relief to land own
ers in the Mississippi valley.
