Proposed Federal Child Labor Bil ILL.,
Representatives of South Carollna
cotton manufacturers on last Friday
appeared before the house lapoi
comrnittee to oppose the Palmer chllo
labor bill. The bill would bar from
interstate commerce all goods man
ufactured by children under IA years
of age, or by children between IA ano
l6 years, working more than elgnl
hours a day. Lewis w. Parker and
w. F.. Beattie, Of Greenville, 5. Z.
and Alex. Long of Rock Hill. >, =.
were among those who argued against
it's passage.
MIR. Parker declared that the child
labor question should be settled by
the states and that the Federal gov.
ernment was not equipped TO dea
with the conditions which varied
widely in different communities. he
said that the South Carolina manutac'
turers would favor taking the chll-
dren out of the mills IL arrangements
could be made to force the children
into schools, and to take care OF those
dependent upon the labor OF chllurer
for livelihood.
The effect of this measure would
be worse than futile" he said. You
say the child must not labor, but you
make no provision for sending it tC
school, or for faring for the depend
ent."
Mr.. Parker said of $4,000 cotton
mill operatives in South Carolina
about 5000 were children between
II and II years old. No negro chill
dren were employed, he said, and he
characterized the possible employment
Of negroes in the mills which, he said
the Palmer bill might force, as the
greatest curse that could come upon
the south"
Elizabeth c. Watson, social and
child welfare worker, appeared IN
favor of the bill and briefly described
conditions in the southern mills, de-
claring that children worked IL and
II hours Il day at occupations when
kept them constantly on their feet.
Compulsory education will be of
little avail unless these children are
taken out of the mills soon,' she
said "for soon they will be so work
ed out that they will be unable to

exhaustive investigation work could

The colonel said the work Of early
| Spanish explorers who discovered the
Amazon river made the explorations
of our day seem like child's play" He
added that these explorers also discOv-
cred the mouths Of several tributaries
of the Amazon.
What Was Known Was Wrong.
| Some Of these rivers were not
known beyond their mouths for CEN
turies," said the colonel. Even what
they knew of the mouth Of the river |

wrong"
The colonel said he had not gone to
South America to discover rivers, but
on Il purely geological mission, but that
DIR. Muller, Brazilian minister Of for
eign affairs, had inspired him to seek
out the now famous river Of doubt.
"Dr. Muller told me-" Colonel Roose-
welt declared, that as result of the
work of the Brazilian telegraphic COM
mission in western Brazil, all the maps
| in existence Of that part of the country
would have to be changed
Some Of these maps" the colonel
continued with twinkle, were drawn
by fellows Of the Royal Geographical
society and they are all wrong too.
Muller showed us that the whole re-
gion would have to be re-mapped. He
said the telegraphic commission had
discovered the sources of two rivers,
but they knew not where they went
One of these was the river of doubt

To undertake this task, the colonel con-

Everything we did was based on
what the telegraphic commission of
Brazil under Colonel Rondon had done
the past seven years. All We did was
to cap the pyramid of which they laid
broad and firm the foundations"
Colonel Roosevelt urged that the
geographic society recognize in some
way the work of Colonel Rondon and
the telegraphic commission, adding
they have had not too much recogni-
ton at home in Brazil"
Colonel Roosevelt criticised the mod

AVIATORS ARE
CREATED TODAY
;ignaI Corps Machines Used
BY Lieut.. Geiger Sold
Ait Auction

Al couple of aviators were automati-
cally created this morning when z. II.
Lewis and Tom Bradshaw become the
proud owners of fiedgling Curtiss fly
ing machines.
True, the planes are earthbound at
present, owing to the slight defect OF
having no engines, but they are sure
enough Curtiss machines and the new
owners say that they viii have the
prcpellers spinning in short order.
The biplanes were sold at public
auction this morning by Capt George
s. Gibbs, signal corps. This is the
pair of machines that was put up
some months ago. but failed to
bring a single bia. Five dollars would
have bought the pair at that time, but
this morning there was more compe-
,tition, Lewis paying $3.50 for the Cur
tiss tractor, while the hydroaeroplane
was knocked down for $500. This is
about Cne tenth the appraised value
of each machine, both having com
plete complement of spare parts, al
most enough to construct duplicate
machines. Had the property been
auctioned On the coast, where ayiators
and near-aviators are more plentiful,
the figures would undoubtedly have
been on the high side.
Both purchasers expect to fly their
machines as soon as they are equip
ped and tuned up.
Tom Bradshaw. who is now connect
ed with the Won Hamm-Young Com
pany, is q sflying man of some expert

The Aexposure of their methods In

Almost Immediately after the article

sealed.

turning down all applications for per-

Several applications were turned
