THE WORLD WIDE WAR TRUST
by Congressman Clyde +. Tavenner)

every time the government manufac-
ture of war munitions is mentioned
have been struck in the region Of the
pocketbook, an exceedingly tender
part of the anatomy.
Comparisons are odious, but in 1909
the Investors Review of London ex-
amined the stockholders litss of sew
eral British war traficking concerns,
and 1t found in the list of one COM
pany alone (Armstrong, Whitworth)
the names Of:
Sixty noblemen, their wives, sons,
or daughters.
Fifteen baronets.
Twenty knights.
Eight members Of Parliament.
Twenty military and navy officers.
Eight journalists.
Later lists revealed marked con-
nection between stock holding In
armor and munition companies and
active membership of purely patriot
ic" organizations, such as the British
Navy League"
In this country it is impossible to
obtain lists Of the stockholders in the
war-trading concerns. The Stanley
STEELE investigating committee was
unable to obtain them, and when I
applied to our Federal Bureau of Cor
porations l found it did not possess
them, and that there was some Ques-
ton as to whether the bureau had the
authority to attempt to obtain them.
Why not permit the public to know
the identity of the PARROTS behind the
War Trust?
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1915-07-22

After the paragraph providing for
the purchase Of the armor plate / Of
fered the following amendment:
Provided, That the Secretary of
the Navy shall not consider any bid
for the supplying Of the armor or
armament herein provided for unless
such bid is accompanied by a sworn
list of stockholders and bondholders
of the corporation submitting such bid,
such list of stockholders and bond
holders to be taken from the books Of
said corporation as of date of July l..
1914. And it is further provided, That
such list of stockholders and bond
holders shall be transmitted to Con-
gress in separate report by the Sec
rotary of the Navy"
This amendment went to its grave
on point Of order made by the chair
man of the Naval Affairs Committee.
My purpose in offering the amend
ment was to ascertain the names of
the shareholders of the war trust, the
names of the men who profit from the
manufacture of war munitions by pri-
vate construction. Those who are ad-
vocating the taking of profit out of
war and preparation for war by hav-
ing all army and navy equipment
manufactured in government plants
can make more intelligent fight if
they know exactly who they are fight
ing. Until the IDENTIFY of the stock
holders of the war trust can be estab-
lished it might, perhaps, even though
unpleasant, be logical to assume that
those patriots who cry out in anguish

they go to, work in order to add to
the family income. By what legal
machinery are these children protect
ed?
Child labor laws are designed to
protect children at work, and in such
laws the employment certificate, or
the child's working card, is the key
to their enforcement. The working
card is the cnild's Identification card
1t shows that he is entitled to work,
and it furnishes record of every
child at work and therefore subject
to the law. For this reason the Chill
dren's Bureau is studying the employ
ment certificate systems to learn how
far the laws which have been made
to protect working children actually
do so.
70 whom does the hid apply for
his working papers? If the certificate
states that he can read and write
Simple sentences" how well must he
read, how well must he write, and
who is to judge what is a Simple"
sentence? How does he prove that he
is of legal age to work? Whose prop
erty is the working card? Are work.
ing papers given child regardless of
the prospect of employment? If SO,
what is done to keep line on those
who do and those who do not get
work? Can a working card be used
10 thwart truant officers? Do the
working papers issued tally with the
children actually at work?
These are some Of the questions
that the Children's Bureau studies are

~. s. Department. of Labor, Child
ren's Bureau.)
The Children's Bureau of the De
partment of Labor issues today re-
port on the administration of the child
labor certificate system in the State
of Connecticut. This is the first of a
series of studies to show how the
laws to protetc working children &C
tually do SO in practice.
~ When legislature has been induc-
ed to plae a child labor law on it's
statute books, the public often as
sumes that it's duty is ended. On the
contrary, this inquiry assumes that
such a law is only a beginning in the
task Of protecting children from over
work and exploitation. The next and
by far the greater task is to see that
the law is carried out.
According to the U. S. census of
191Od over $4,000 Of our nations chill
dren from 10 to Is years old were at
work in factories, shops, and other
non-agricultural positions. At that
age the boys and girls who leave
school to go to work do not leave it
for life of luxury. For the most part

designed to answer.
In Connecticut a child cannot go
to work until he is Ia years old, and
until 16 cannot work unless he has
an employment certificate. No child
can get certificate and stay out
school unless he has a job. If he
quits work his employer must notify
the State Board of Education, and be-
fore he can go to work again perm
anently he must secure fresh certi-
ficate.
The most striking feature Of the
Connecticut system of issuing work.
ing papers is that the State Board of
Education controls it's enforcement
and dovetails the working of the COM
pulsory education law with the child
labor law. Practically every step is
under the direct supervision of the
State Board of Education. Agents Of
the State Board travel from town to
town, issuing working papers, inspect
ing shops for violations of the certii-
cate law, and visiting in their homes
children who have left their jobs.
Studies similar to the one in Con-
necticut are being undertaken in
other States, and it is believed that
by discovering the strong and weak
features of various systems in use,
some standard will be reached of the
best methods for protecting children
at work.
This inquiry is under the direction
of Miss Helen l.. Sumner, in charge Of
the Industrial Division of the Chill
dren's Bureau.
