wracking work results in break
down of health and spirits, in prema-
ture senility.
In the South, whole families of
poor whites" settle in the manufac-
turing towns and live on the labor of
their children. Among this class are
the dinner toters,'' fathers who
bring the midday meal to their chill
dren at work in the mill and then GO
back to doze in the sunshine.
The results of child labor are far
reaching and bad. Child labor, Vag-
rancy and petty vice are intertWined
in a strand of annoyances that beset
the country. 1t is responsible for the
floating Iaborer," the unskiIIed
workman, who weakened by his early
Iabors, the resulting lack of nourish-
ment and deficient physical powers,
intensifies the problem of the unem-
ployed which confronts the big cities
at certain seasons.

The Palmer Bill is drawn on the
and seeks to prohibit the employment
featuring occupations and to limit
the work of children under 16 to
hours a day.
The penalties imposed for the
breaking of the law are fines and the
Secretary of Commerce, the Secre-
tary of Labor and the Attorney Gen
eral constitute a permanent board
on rules and regulations and the Sec
rotary of Labor is authorized to in
spect and prosecute for violations.
The law also provides that state fac

shipment is made to constitute sep

There is nothing new in the body
of the proposed law except that it
puts child labor under the jurisdic-
ton of the federal government.
Child labor presents an economic
problem that is intertwined with the
other problems of our communities.
1t is caused by sheer poverty of par
ents, by the ambition of parents and
by the ignorance of parents as well
as by the Law of Market which de-
mands that product be turned out
at the least possible cost to sell at
the highest possible price.
Then, too, the schools are some

prefer working to spending their time

The plan that will end the war accord

clubs will be allowed to divide the players
under contract.
Next season, however, according to
the rumor, the Federals will be an eight

BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

Charlottesville, Va, March c-On ac-
count of the sudden cold spell which hit
this town full tilt today. the chances are
that the opening practice game between
the Nationals and the University OF Vir-
ginia team scheduled for next Saturday
will be either called of or postponed.
Lambeth Field is entirely free Of snow.
but the ground Is frozen hard, and as
Manager Grifith plans to improve the
diamond. two days at least will be re-
quired fer this work. which cannot be
started until the frost disappears.
The young Nationals held their first
practice under the watchrul eye Of their
manager today. and II was held in the
gymnasium because of the strong north
wester that was tearing across the field
all day.
Griffith paid particular attention TO
Harry Harper. the southpaw from New
Jersey. and when the hour was over he
seemed very much pleased with the
youngsters work. Harper has a hitch in
his delivery that Griffith disliked. and he
spent most of the morning period trying
to get rid of II under the direction Of
Altrock.
Shanks and Henry got into their uni
forms for the first time and limbered Up
for a short while. Ainsmith. who Ie-
turned TO camp last night, also donned
his nit Griffith said he intended letting
Acosta rest UP for a few days, rs the
lad was in good condition. and he
thought the rest would do him good.
Griffith came down with an idea Of
getting a line on his young pitchers. but
when he left this afternoon for Washing
ton he admitted that he could get no
line on them.
Both OF the left-handers took his eye,
and after he had taken a good bit OF
his time giving Harper a few pointers, he
