plea of the lobbyists CT inning to repre-
sent the sentiment of the Illinois man
.ufacturers and employers was that
the law would put the home interests
under unequal operating expenses in
their competition with the dreaded
and uncurbed manufacturers of Ohio,
Indiana, Kentucky and Minnesota, 1t
was an argument designed to catch
the impartial ear and the public was
inclined to go slowly if doing away
with child labor in Illinois would per
manently embarrass the Illinois pay
roll.
But now comes A. ]. McKelway,
southern secretary of the national
child labor committee, with the pre-
diction that the coming Congress will
once and for all legislate upon the
problem from a national standpoint,
affecting Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
ETC., equally. Can it mean that the
end of child labor is in sight? The
outlook is at least certainly promis-
ing If the powerful forces that have
defeated state action, at the same
time expressing humane and interest
ed views on the general policy of fore
ing the half-developed child mond and
body into a pittiless industrial ma
chine, prove consistent. It is impos-
sible, for instance, that the arguments
for State rights should be invoked,
unless it is plainly to confound the
movement, first by demanding that
State legislation is unfair because it
L is unequal, and then opposing equal
national action because it is an in
fringement upon State rights. The
demand for national action is appar-
end from the standpoint of accom-
plishing something within the next
decade also. Georgia has a decent
standard for the protection of the
child, but an Inadequate appropriation
for enforcement. Alabama has an eff
I1cient enforcement of fair law and
an attack is now being made to abol-
ish the office. Illinois defeated the
legislation upon the plea that it is
unfair, and New York has made a
shameless record.
+ National legislation will have the
good effect of equalizing the condi-
lions and. insuring wide enforcement.
