Status of the Child Labor Bill
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT
 By MRS. SIDNEY N. ULLMAN

A bill to create a child welfare board. which will provide for the appointment of commissions to grant allowances to widowed and deserted mothers with one or more needy children Is now before the legislature
 The bill has been issued by a commit tee from the Mothers's congress and the Improved Order of Red Men of Alabama, and has been introduced in the house by the Hon. E. B. Fite Of Marion county. The bill has been reported favorably to tho house by the committee on judiciary and has been introduced in the senate by the Hon. w. W. Hill of Montgomery. It Is now in the hands of the committee on finance and taxation.
 In the stress of our own civic unrest and the sensational lease system legislation, taxes, health bills and many other impor- tant measures, mothers pensions and child welfare boards have been entirely showed under in the news world, not that the leg islators do not consider 1t important, but that other matters are of so much more mon ent.
 Many of the general public are not acquainted with the bill for the creation of a child welfare board, and do not realize the importance of the measure. The bill is simple and good. It provides, in short, that each board shall consist of three members to be appointed by the governor, two members to be appointed by the pro- bate judge of the county in which the board is located and one member to be appointed by the executive officer of each incorporated municipality in said county. Women shall be eligible to appointment on such boards.
 The members shall receive no compen- sation, and it is the general opinion that such a board serving for the love of humanity will only have the best inter- est at heart.
 The question has been asked: ''Is not the conservation of the child of today equally as important and imperative as the conservation of the forests and

REIMBURSEMENT OF RATES ON EXPORT
 COTTON ORDERED
Interstate Commerce COm- mission Acts of Complaint of the Mobile Chamber
 of Commerce

Washington. July e9.-Readjustment of the rates on export cotton from several states in the south to Mobile, so that they will be upon basis that is not dis crimnatory in favor of Savannah, Ga, against Mobile. and many changes in the practices of the railroads serving Mobile in relation to rates on export cotton, are contained in noteworthy order of the interstate commerce commission on the complaint of the Mobile Chamber of Com merce against the carriers serving that city.
 The commission handed down decision in this case last November and suggested that the railroads meet it's terms by April 1, 1915. Failure of the carriers to carry out this suggestion is responsible today for the order which will be issued in a few days. It is said to direct the roads 10 comply with the terms of the decision.
 All the carriers serving Alabama, Ten nessee. Georgia, Mississippi and the Caro- linas were interested in the complaint. The reasonableness of the cotton export rates was attacked.
 The decision does not hold them unrea- sonable, but condemns many of the prac- tices of the carriers in making the rates.
 It requires the carriers to abandon the system under which many of them charged "a penalty rate" on cotton to compress point higher than the local rates and orders the establishment of rates to compress points not more than the reason able local rates It holds also that the carriers interested should join in the joint rates announced through routes to Mo- bile, and that there is discrimination against Mobile from many points in the south in favor of Savannah.
 Enforcement of previous order of tho commission requiring some of the defend ants to cease showing preference to par ticular steamship lines in the matter of docking facilities at Mobile was prom ised and dock owners were required to establish interchanglng switching system manifests. so that any shipper may ship to any dock Charges of cents per 100 pounds for terminal switching were held reasonab ble.

found and two more were needed to
make a quorum A motion was made
and carried for the issuance of war

VICIOUS WORK BY MILITIAMEN
Colorado State Soldiers Guilty Of
Brutal and LawIess Acts
During Mine Troubles.

Washington, March "a scathing
arrangement of the Colorado militia
for its treatment Of striking miners
report submitted to the House to-
day by the mines and mining sub
committee, which investigated the
Colorado coal strike.
While scoring conditions generally
in the coal fields and criticizing many
of the acts of the mine operators, in
Guiding alleged violation of state
laws, the committee reported that no
evidence was found of a conspiracy in
restraint of trade to limit the output
of the mines, nor conclusive proof
of the existence of peonage-
AS the strike has been settled no
specific recommendation are made
The committee appeals, however, for
arbitration in such situations. 1t de-
cIares that these disturbances are
Nationwide in their importance; that
the federal government is the only
power competent to deal with them
and, after referring to the testimony
of John D. Rockefeller, jr-, who dis
claimed responsibility for Colorado
conditions, adds:
Absentee owners or directors by
their absence from the scene of such
disturbances cannot escape their
moral responsibility for conditions in
and about properties in which they
are interested
Liberal extracts from the two thou
sand pages of testimony taken by the
committee are embodied in the re-
port, with this comment:
Considerable testimony on both
sides of the controversy, we believe
unreliable. Colorado has good min
ing laws, if they are enforced, yet in
this state the percentage of fatalities
is larger than in any other, showing
there is undoubtedly something wrong
in reference to the management of
its coal mines. 1t is contended by the
miners as one of their grievances
that the operators do not obey the
law.
