CHILD LABOR IN GEORGIA.
State Slow to Adopt Measures Pro
hibitine Infant Toll.

Again has the Georgia legislature
voted to continue the states dishonor
by CHASING her among the few remain
ing states which fatten on the labor
of children. Year after year Georgians
who honor Georgia try to redeem her
from this disgrace by enacting a law
prohibiting child labor. The house
passes the bill, and the senate under
the guidance of the mill owners either
kills it outright or passes it in such
shape that it is unobjectionable to
them. This year the melancholy farce
is again repeated.
There are signs. however, that the
enemies of Georgia's good name are
not to have their way forever. This
years BILL emasculated and feeble as
it is, is little stronger than any yet
passed. 1t is an encouraging sign that
the house plucked up courage to de-
mand a conference and still more en-
couraging one that, according to Sen
ators Mcneil and Miller, the senate
conference committee was packed. The
friends of the mill owners were SO
afraid OF the result tnat they dlQ not
dare to take any chances, and they
violated the custom of appointing at
least one leader in the fight for bill
to the conference committee.
The mill operatives have been union
lied. too and will show as they gain
strength what they can do to end the
competition of men with children. 1t
is much to be regretted, however, that
Georgia should not abolish the iniquity
while she can still claim to do so from
altruistic notifies instead of waiting
until she is coerced by organized labor.
Sooner or later she will have to come
to it, and she should take the step
while she can do so with credit.-New
York Times.

Chadwick WithhoIds Opinion.

We are also told that Judge Chad

has not as yet written his opinion on
the case. Many of us hope that that
opinion will be forthcoming before
election day. I am sure it will be

Without in anywise desiring to hasten
the judges deliberations, I make bold
to add my prayer to a petition that
we may have an early decision from

render. On the other hand, they are
equally DESTROYS of fixing the lowest
possible valuation when it comes to
paying taxes. It is apparent, therefore,
that the proposal to make the rate
fixing valuation serve as a taxing basis
was anything but desirable from
the standpoint of the corporation. Con-
sequently most strenuous efforts have
been put forth to ditch this measure.
Through the supreme court, this effort
has at last been crowned with success.
This opinion viii make interesting

/ CAUSE OF LABOR'S APATHY. .

. To the weakness of all labor is
to be ascribed its lack of interest
. I'm the efficiency of industry. An
employer will tell you in one
. breath that he will stand no in
reference with "hfs" business
. and in the next that his employ
ees take no interest in that bust
. ness. or course they don't.
They haven't any interest. They
; are unconsulted outsiders. You
might as well expect an Indian
. peasant to be interested in the
administrative efficiency of the
; British government. What pos
sibility is there for sense Of
: craftsmanship when you are a
mere hired hand? What incen-
. tive have wage earners to take
a personal interest in the prob
. lens of industry when nobody
asks their advice and everybody
. resents it? If labor Is apathetic,
hostile to efficiency. without
; much pride, it is because labor Is
not a part Of industrial manage
; ment. People don't take SYM
pathetic interest in the affairs of
; state until they are voting men,
bers of the state. You can't ex-
pect civic virtue from a disfran-
chised class nor industrial virtue
. from the industrially disfran-
chised. From "A Key to the La

THE BURDEN BEARERS.
Union Men Control the Wages of All
Those Who Toll.

Some persons, who are nonunionists
at heart, claim that the members of
organized labor should not refuse to
work with nonunionists and that 1t is
against all laws of personal liberty.
1t Is our contention that the union
man has the right TO refuse to work be-
side the man who has not the courage
to fight for his rights and his own up
lift The member OF organized labor
is giving both his time and money for
the advancement of his cause He at
tends, his union meetings. works on
committees and is endeavoring at all
times to do something for the advance
ment of the toiling masses. In times
past this union man has been spat
upon and ridiculed by the very men
whom he has favored and caused their
wages to be raised.
Did you, nonunion man, ever stop
and study this wage proposition? Did
1t ever occur to you that the union
man controls your wages? Don't you
know that when d plumber. painter.
carpenter, butcher, printer, plasterer or
any other tradesmen gets more pay and
shorter hours the boss must keep
step with that raise in wages? He
knows If he doesn't he will not be able
to hold his men. for they will quit him
and join the union. where they can get
more pay and better hours.
The men composing big business"
admit that the workingman has the
right to work for whom he pleases.
etc, yet when the man who has his
labor to sell upon the public markets
sets certain price upon that labor
you hear an awful wall about the
workingman not being competent to
Judge what is best for him.
The workingman has been in the
game long enough to know that If he
does not fight for his rights no one else
will. He will certainly choose the man
for whom he wishes to work. and he
undoubtedly will have something to
say as to what salary he shall receive.
