In these savage hours the mind of
John Rawn cast about for rescue, for
hope. No rescue, no hope, appeared
except one last desperate alternative,
purchasable not now with cash or
power or influence-since these were
gone-but with what other and dearer

were counted almost invincible
We're the Ascensions of MINNEAPOLIS
and the Oswego IN. W military
team. Oswego came west after having
beaten the Buffalo Germans in three
of four games, this being the first
time Buffalo ever had been beaten in
a series. Oswego, with this record
behind it, expected easy sailing at
Fond du Lac, but dropped four
games to Company e and lost another
by forfeit. Another of the big con-
tenders with Company E this season
was the Cornell team. of Chicago

of the nation.

Plan TO PROHIBIT
CHILD LABOR
Would Pass Law Forbidding Inter-
state Shipments of Articles Manu-
featured by Their Assistance
PARCEL POST PLAN PAYING
Need of More Money for Increasing
Work is Indication of the Growing
Prosperity of the Service
BY Congressman G. H. Tavenner.

BY Congressman G. H. Tavenner
Washington March 2S-The pro-
hibition OF, child labor by forbidding
the shipment in Interstate commerce
of articles manufactured or produced
in whole or in part by child labor is
the effective principle of a bill on
which Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer, of Pennsylvania is urging
a favorable report by the House COM
mittee on labor. 1T is Mr.. Palmer's
own bill.
This bill differs from previous mea-
srres of similar character urged for
passage by Congress. The Beveridge
bill made it unlawful for common
CARRIERS to receive for shipment goods
manufactured by children. The Pal
mer bill makes it a misdemeaner for
the producer, the man who employees
child labor, to put his products into
Interstate commerce.
"Ten years ago." said Mr.. Palmer
to the committee, 'fthe question of the
extent of child labor-perhaps the
question of it's evil character-might
have been debatable. Five years ago,
perhaps, there would have been men
found on both sides of the question,
but today it seems to me that there
can be no argument upon it.
"The country has awakened to the
fact that millions Of our little child
rem, despite some advance in the
States upon this question in the way
of regulatory legislation, are being
employed in the mines and quarries
and mills and factories of the land,
and that the result is bound to be in
the future so appalling upon the
health and morals of the children
and Of the men and women as they
develop, that it will constitute a
great, crying evil which calls for cor
rection'
Mr.. Palmer showed that many
States fear to pass Legislation pro-
hibiting child labor because it would
throw their manufacturers at a dis
advantage with competitors in States
which will not pass prohibitory laws.
The way to attack the evil, he said,
is in all the states at once by feder-
al law The Palmer bill has the en-
dorsement of the national child-la-
Dor committee and will doubtlessly be
reported favorably to the House. ;
Parcel Post Pays
With a good deal Of glee certain
reaotionary quarters called attention
to the 100000 item in the argent
deficiency appropriation bill for par
eel post as an indication that the new
service is piling up deficit. Of
course, there is nothing in this re-
port, which received quite wide cir
culation. Although the Postoffice
Department pays its expenses out of
it's own revenues, it is necessary I'M
der the law for Congress to appro-
pirate these revenues by items for
postoffice needs. The parcel post
needs an additional 100000 for
expenses until June 80. The net
profits lit will make in that time are
far in excess of $2,OOO,0OO. In fact,
need of the department for money to
extend the work of parcel post is an
indication of the growing prosperity
of the service rather than the reverse.
