z Hour !. / Day
Makes Men Slaves

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-William
e. Redfeld, Secretary of Commerce
presided at the closing session of the
Association for Labor Legislation this
afternoon. 'sThe combined effect OF
the twelve-hour day and\ the day-and
night alienation of shifts in the con-
tinuous Industries is to produce a
class OF men who can be regar ded as
but little better than slaves to the
machines which they operate. They
are worn out more rapidly than were
the slaves on the Southern planta-
tons, and more effectually debarred
from the common pleasures of life
than many of the prisoners in our
penal institutions" said Basil M. Man

of labor in the recent investigation
Of the iron and steel industry. NThe

SCHOOL AND THE CHILD
(Rv IoSornh. n. Eohenl

The education of the child is large
ly what We make it.
Flowers sometimes grow beautiful
ly in filth, but more often disease
breeds there and sacks the city.
The farmer does not scatter his
seed to the wind, with the prayer and
hope that some may settle in fertile
ground and bring forth crop. He
selects the soil which carries the best
store of feed for the seed he wishes
to sow, drains the ground or irrigates
it, as the case requires, and lines
fertilizes it, waits for the right season
and day to pltn, removes the weeds
and the plants enemies, and lends
nature whatever other aid he can to
bring forth good yield in the har'
vest.
And this is how we must do for the

memories of his own childhood and
MS long forgotten youth.
1t may therefore we'll he true that
as the Saviour blessed the little child
rem the shadows may have lifted from
off His face; the saddened look may
have departed for moment and the
lips of the Man of Sorrows may have
been wreathed in a smile.
But there is another side to the
picture. Christ was not the only one
who said for the little children to
come to him and not to be forbidden,
for the modern factory owner says,
paraphrasing the words Of the Saw
Jour, Suffer little children, and for
bid them not, to come unto me, for
of such is the kingdom of hell"
What a difference in the two invita-
lions. The first is the embodiement
of all love and tenderness. and com;
passion; the second is the embodie-
ment of utter selfishness and greed
and heartlessness. The one blesses
childhood; the other curses it.
The pity of this whole picture of
churches and in land called by some
Christian land, where the teachings
of Christ are proclaimed in every
section of the country, little children
,, are chained to the wheels of toll; lit
tie children are forced to labor their
strength, because of mans greed for
gold In this so-called Christian land
in the year of our Lord 1913, little tots
lot children, three and four years OF
age toll fop their daily bread and can
not remember the time when they did
not work.
Childhood robbed of it's joys; child
hood crushed BY the iron hand OF
modern commerciaIism. And why are
the children employed instead of men
or women? Because their labor can
be bought for less and therefore there
is a. greater dividend. Nor does it
matter to the factory owner that those
dividends are blackened with their
i blood. The factory owner makes
money out of the toll of his child
slaves and so is happy, for he knows
that the gold which he derives from
such a source is powerful and off.
| cac1olls. He knows that it will silence
the press and muzzle the priest and
chain the legislator and SO allow the
factory owner to go on in his own
sweet way, coming the blood of the
child toilers into more gold.
But the end is coming. The gold of
the factory owner cannot silence la
Dor and Socialist press; it cannot
muzzle the labor and Socialist speak
9rs; it cannot chain the labor and
Socialist legislators; nor can all the
gold in the universe make true
Christian keep silent in the face OF
the awful inequity of the child slavery
Of the American INDUSTRIAL system OF
the day. -
No man or woman whose heart
beats in sympathy with suffering
humanity will keep silent or inactive
when confronted by the stern fact that
thousands of children are being ruin
ed in body and ruined in mind and
ruined in soul that a few men and
women may live on the fat of the
land.
Some day, because child slavery is
fundamentally and eternally wrong, it
Will be utterly destroyed; cast into
