Will Campaign in States.

A campaign Ito release half a mil
lion American children from exacting
and injurious work.. during the coming
year will be opened in this city a
week from tomorrow at a conference
under the direction OF the National
Child Labor Committee. The confer
ence urges the passage of the Palmer
owen child labor bill now pending in
Congress.
Senator Owen. Senator Kenyon. Con-
gresham Mitchell Palmer, Congress
man Victor Murdoch. Miss Julia Lath-
rop, Miss Jane Adams. Jasper Y.
Brinton. of Philadelphia. and William
II. Maltbie. of Baltimore, will be pre-
sent. The committee will also arrange
at that time for a nationwide celebra-
ton of Child Labor Day" on jan
uary a.
This campaign for a Federal law
will not take the place Of State work. -
says a statement sent out from the
headquarters of the committee in New
York, but representatives OF the COM
mittee will appear before fifteen State
legislatures In connection with child
labor and compulsory school attend
ance bills.
THE Palmer-owen bill would eliminate
the ten-year-old cRnnery children and
the youngsters under fourteen in the
cotton mills: Il would back up the eff
forts OF the State authorities 10 enforce
laws that already exist; II would shorten
the hours of 10000 children who are le-
galiy working a nine, ten, or eleven
hour day. and IL would do away with
the Ubiquitous night work OF children in
glass factories.
But only improved State laws can
deal with the equally important mat
tiers Of the education and health of chill
dren who go to work, or regulate their
employment in occupations in which in
terstate commerce is not involved
