SHIP OWNERS SHOULD
BE ASHAMED SAYS STAR

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE
Star Of this city is not alarmed over
the wailings of ship owners against
the seamen's bill. This paper makes
the, point that the predictions of
wholesale disaster to the shipping in
terests are heavily discounted by ex-
perience," and that these interests
have opposed every measure for the
improvement of the conditions of sea-
men. H.. :
I'VE should think that shipowners
would be ashamed to acknowledge
that they have been doing business
under system that is ANTICIPATED, to
say the very least. The shipownera.
BY their opposition to the seamen'a
bill, !" says the Star, mot only make
this Acknowledgement, but actually
claim the right to continue practices
that are repugnant to the most

CHILDREN WITHOUT
A CHANCE FOR LIFE

The children of America who have
no chance will be the subject of one
of the notable gatherings at the San
Francisco Exposition, when the elev-
enth annual conference Of the Nation
al Child Labor Committee is held there
the last three days Of May. The
special topics to be considered are
Child Labor in the. West, Federal Con-
troll Of Child Labor, and a Charter for
Childhood, and the speakers will in
clude Mrs. Florence Kelley, Dr. Felix
Adler, Owen r. Lovejoy, and others
who have been active in the national
movement for several years, together
tinguished for their interest in labor
problems and education.
Thousands Without q Chance.
Recent Investigations of the Com
mittee have shown that in spite Of
the marked advance in child labor and
school legislation there are still in
this country hundreds Of thousands
of children who have no chance. In
fact the Committee says that there is
no state in the Union which COM
pletely protects it's children, even all
Of those under IA, from overwork and
ensures to them the elements of good
education. All the states except five
have recognized the need of a 14-year
plies it consistently and effectively to
all the various forms of exploitation
to which children are subjected.
Will Re-Introduce Owen Bill.
After ten years Of active state cam
paigns the Committev last year draft
ed a federal bill which was passed in
the House of Representatives by an
overwhelming majority. This bill,
which will be re-introduced early in
the first session of the new Congress,
would exclude from interstate COM
merce the products of the cotton mills
and canneries, the tenement work
shops and the miscellaneous industries
in which thousands of young children
| under IA years arr now employed;
the products of the glass factories
and the coal mined by workers less
than 16 years old.
The-commitee, organized primarily
as protest against the exploitation
of young children, has been more and
more active in constructive efforts for
the benefit of the children who have
been released from industry And at
the request Of other social workers
and children's organizations it is now
taking the lead in an attempt to form
ulate charter of childhood which
| would harmonic and coordinate the
| various phases of the child welfare
problem.

A. F. of. WITHDRAWS It's ENDORSEMENT
OF J0URNEYMEN TAIL0RS UNION LABEL

WASHINGTON May 1.-THE label
of the Journeymen Tailor's union Is
no longer recognized by the American
trade union movement, and officers Of
this organization have been notified
by the A. F. of l.. executive council
that it cancels and withdraws the
endorsement, of the label of, the Jour-
neymen Tailors' Union of'America.'
This unusual procedure is the re-
suit Of a refusal of the Tailors' union
to obey A. F. of l.. convention man
dates, passed unanimously last Novem-
Der, at Philadelphia, and which au-
thorized the executive council to take
this action if the tailors failed to
abandon present practices, fully ex-
planning in the following letter to
