CHILD LABOR ON
CRANBERRY BOGS
Growers. in Annual Session,
viii Resent Charges of Cruel
ty to Young Pickers.

CAMDEN. Jan. 22.-Aroused by the
criticism heaped upon the cranberry
industry in New Jersey in recent
magazine articles, which have at
tackled what the writers allege TO be
a pernicious system of child labor to
gather the great crops. the growers
are preparing TO grapple with the
labor problem and to deny the
charges of cruel treatment and over
working the young pickers, at the
annual session of the American Gran
berry Growers Association, Saturday
morning next, at the Hotel Ridge
way, this city.
Federal and State agricultural ex-
perts will read papers on cranberry
culture, and there will be a talk on
Packing and Loading of Cranberries
for Long Distance Shipment by
William Coffin, district freight agent
of the West Jersey & Seashore Rail-
road But growers. are looking for
ward with more interest to a dis
oussion that is expected to develop
over the employment of children as
pickers. There are 5000 pickers re-
quired to gather the harvest every
fall and 200 of these are said to be
children. more than half of whom are
under ten years old.
The cranberry growers have been
ranked by the comparison of their
picking system to that of the use Of
child labor in the factories and other
city industries They hold that only
the adults are actually employed and
that foreigners make a picnic Of the
picking season by leaving their
squalid quarters in the city slums
and bringing entire families TO the
bogs. This. say the growers, is 8
physical as well as a financial bene-
MT to the slufn- jewellers.
John Harding voorhees,, an expert
of the New Jersey Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. at New Brunswick,
who has done considerable expert

past few years. declares that the

Plan to Make a Messroom
of Court House Basement
Especial to the Newark start


MoRRISTOWN, Jan. 2,-Plsns for
the feeding of Morris county Jail
prisoners in the basement of the
Court House, instead of in their cells,
are being discussed by Chairman An
derson M. Guerin and his colleagues
of the court house and jail committee
of the Board of Freeholders. The
scheme, suggested by Robert Carroll,
son of Jail-keeper Edward Carroll.
Is to put a stairway in from the
keepers office to the basement at n
point where at present is located the
dumbwaiter upon which is brought
up the food from the kitchen. This
stairway would lead into room for
merly used for storage purposes and
which with the addition of table
and electric lights, could be utilized
as dining room
Adjacent to the kitchen, the use of
this room would eliminate the neces-
sity of carrying the food from the
basement to the upper floor of the
Jail and the serving of it in the cells
of the prisoners. 1t is estimated
that the work will cost about $3.50,
and this would soon be saved, 1t is de-
clared. in the 50 wing on mattresses,
many of which are spoiled By the
prisoners spilling soup and coffee
upon them. While il has not yet
been decided to do the work. pre-
liminary work for the change has
been done. The barrels of disinfectant
and other articles stored in the base
ment room have been removed to the
barn in tho rear of the jail and the
room has been thoroughly cleaned.

SUMMIT. Jan. 22.-The COMMITTEES
on taxation Of Common Council IS
endeavoring TO straighten out tax
tangle which resulted IN the sale Of
property by Ia Receiver William
Schultz last December Of a tract
Of land for non-payment Of taxes
John Bogosia thought he owned
the land which is located in Aubrey
street in the northern section Of the
city until q few DAYS ago. when he
learned that the property had been
sold by the tax receiver 10 Michael
Garafano for unpaid taxes. Garafano
bid in the land for thirty-year
period.
An investigation By Lawyer John
e. Walsh, Of this city, counsel for
Bogosia, disclosed the fact that
Bogosia had paid his 1911 taxes, but
through an error the payment had
been credited by the then tax re
ceiver. Stephen r. Mullen, to the
Martin estate, which owns three
plots adjacent to Bogosia's tract
When Schultz took office he found
that the tax on BogosIa's lots had
not been paid in 1911. as shown on
the tax receivers book. This was IL

ing his property tax for 1912, he paid
the amount Of the bill. Bogosia, VINO
cannot read or speak English, did
not get a receipt for the payment
Of the 1912 taxes which had been
credited to the payment Of the 1911
tax.
To rectify the error It is under
stood Common Council is willing to
take the necessary action to have
Bogosias payments properly credit
ed in the tax receivers books. but
have declined to go further in the
matter. Lawyer Walsh. however, in
sists that II is up TO council to pro-
cure the release of the title to the
property from Garafano and to bear
the expense of reimbursing Garafano
in the amount he paid IN acquiring
the property at the tax sale as well
as such other costs as may be in
volved In restoring the property to
Bogosia. With City Solicitor Cora
Williams the taxation committee is
still considering the problem, as
Bogosia's counsel declares his client
will bear no part of the cost in get
