Meeting to be Held in State ArmOry
Tonight---Interest Urged.

A meeting Of those interested in
forming a platoon Of the proposed
machine gun company in Annapolis
will take place in the Bladen st. Ar
mory at eight o'clock this evening.
Enough young men have expressed in
terest in the matter and promised to
be present 20 assure its success IL
most of them become members.
Ii is hoped that the success of the
movment is certain, and that, not only
that the young men will respond in
sufficient numbers. but that parents
and employers will help the movement
in any way they can. instead of him
dering it. The country is greatly in
need of trained machine gun men, and
those who join the company will be
performing a distinct patriotic service
as well as one which will bring credit
to Annapolis.
It will be a reflection on the pa
triotism and public spirit of our people
if they allow this opportunity to be
lost. Annapolis has the chance Of
forming II e first machine gun company
in Maryland, and the only one that
can be formed outside of Baltimore.
If it does not take advantage of it
promptly, some other city in Mary
Ian will take it away from US.

acted similar and in some cases
more liberal laws governing the
employment of women and child

Many business men who opposed
the woman labor law before its
passage, now admit the law is wise,
and that it has worked no hard
ship to their business. Its provi-
sions are so arranged as to inter-
fere but little with the usual hours
required by fair employers OF fe-
male labor twelve hours being al
lowed on one day in the week, and
the schedule of hours being flexible
enough to suit any class of business
But suppose it does a little Gin

paltry pelf they cost? Women and
children are the very foundation
stones upon which our Common

to tamper with these foundation

Newark post., 1915-02-03

The following version of the cir
cumstances leading to the Child
Labor Investigation, is given by
the Middletown Transcript:
The Child Labor Commission
whose members are appointed by
the Judges of the Supreme Court,
was created to act as a non-partl-
san board to secure certain needed
reforms in child labor. A few
Democratic politicians contrived to
foist upon the commission as in
spector one Of their henchmen,
William J. Gibbons, a bitter op-
posent Of all child labor reform,
and pensioner Of a big manufacture
ing company which is also opposed
to all child labor legislation.
That their purpose in thus put
ting the execution of the law in the
hands of a man who was opposed
to the law, was to hamstring its ef-
ficiency is shown by the fact that
in the same year wherein Miss Ma
lone, as inspector under the wom-
an s labor law at a salary Of 81 900
with no travelling expense fund,
made 1000 visits all over the State,
this politician Gibbons for the
snug salary of 81 800, plus 5000 for
travel expenses, made only 800 Wis
it's!
And when Miss Bissell, the
chosen chairman Of the commission,
told Gibbons his work as inspector
was not satisfactory, this employe
of the commission-that is what
the law calls him-insulted her, on
one occasion, as lady witness told
the writer, snatched a paper out of
her hands and told her she "didn 7
know what she was talking about -
The law expressly gave the COM
mission power to discharge " forth
with" any unsatisfactory inspect
or. At last, after enduring Glib
bon s insolence and inefficiency for
six months, six out of eight mem.
bers of the commission, upon his re,
fusal to resign, removed him.
Now these Democratic polite.
ians, backed up by greedy big bust
ness eager to exploit inhumanely
the womenhood and childhood of
our State, have drawn their hire
ling knives to assassinate both the
child labor and the Woman labor
laws, and are button-holing this
Legislature to undo the benefcient
legislation of 1913 which at last
placed this laggard State abreast
of the 40 other states that have en-.
