CHILD LABOR LAW VALID.
Supreme Court Declares Illinois Statute
Constitutional.

supreme COuTE declares itIInclS statute
Constitutional.
The Illinois child labor law has been
declared constitutional by the United
States supreme court.
In the cause at issue the court held
that the state was within it's rights in
prohibiting the employment Of children
under sixteen years Of age in hazard
Gus occupations. Moreover, deCreed
the court, any person employs youth
under such circumstances at his own
peril. even if the employee represents
himself as more than sixteen years old.
The case was that of the Sturges &
Burn Manufacturing company of Chi
cago. which employed Arthur Beau
champ as a press hand in stamping
sheet metal. The boy was injured and
sued for damages in the Cook county
superior court. He showed he had
been employed in a hazardous Occupa-
ton, although under sixteen. He was
awarded damages, and the Illinois su
preme court affirmed the verdict
1t was on the appeal of the company
to the United States supreme court
that this tribunal affirmed the decision
of the state supreme court.

A SIGN OF PROGRESS.
Labor Movement Has Outerown Need
of Artificial Stimulants.

Labor Movement Has Outerown Need
of Artificial Stimulants.
There was no parade of workers in
Chicago on last Labor day, and the
Chicago Tribune had the following to
say about the discontinuance of ira
ditional custom:
The describing Of the Labor day pa
rade in this city may be interpreted by
superficial observers as a waning of the
force and influence of labor. Yet the
reverse is the lesson to be drawn. 1t
shows the advance the labor move
ment has made in this country. The
road to progress leads over broken ira
ditions.
When the labor movement in the
United States was young it needed
brass bands and snowy uniforms and
drills and marching to keep its follow
ers tOgetheI-at times even to keep
their courage up. All Of these artiti-
cia organization stimulants have been
outgrown by the working masses. To
day the workers in every trade have
weekly and monthly Journals which
give them lessons regularly not only
in organization, but in the economics
of their trade, of their home and their
shop. The labor literature Of this
country is also doing extremely etlec-
tive work in giving the masses a civic
education. With the aid of these jour
mails the labor hosts of the United
States are gaining deep insight into
the needs and the problems of the ma
ton. The laboring man of today is
thinking MS he has never done before
He is coming into the vanguard Of
American citizenship The discarding
of the Labor day parade is only one of
the many symptoms of his growing
mental breadth and Independence.
Germany has always prided herself
upon the education Of her working
masses education not as measured by
public school diplomas, but education
in citizenship, in ciyics. The German
workman is now having close second
in the laboriug man of America. Be
fore long he may be superseded.
