HONEST INSPECTOR
NOT ENCOURAGED
Local Juries Won't Convict, Says
Mrs. Florence Kelley.
SHE WANTS A FEDERAL LAW.

Child labor laws will not be enforced
until there is federal law which the
government will enforce. SO Mrs..
Florence Kelley told the Eleventh An
nual Conference on Child Labor at tn
recent San Francisco meeting During
her wide and varied experience Mrs.
Kelley has accumulated many exam
pies Of why a state child labor law
can never be properly enforced and
why the federal government must take
a hand In Il.
After a state child labor law il on
the statute books the difficulties of the
inspectors are only part of the obsta-
cles that confront the state in getting
that law enforced. II an inspector
works very hard he is commonly re-
moved-that is, II he works hard and
honestly and ably. have watched in
spectors working hard. honestly and
ably being removed for thirty-t three
years. One who does not work hard
and ably and honestly will probably be
removed anyhow when the politics Of
the state changes.
while the inspector is working hard.
ably and honestly 1t is exceedingly diff
ficult to get law enforced, II prosecu-
ton is required, because local magis-
trates are usually reluctant to enforce
1t and local juries to uphold II. Some
years ago We were prosecuting In Chi
cago certain sweater who had en-
ployed sixteen girls illegally. A. dozen
witnesses were subpoenaed, and they
all swore cheerfully that the law had
been kept, although they knew that
they had been working illegally that
day.
"The justice thought 1t a merry Jest
that we could not get warrants against
those perJured witnesses. He said, If
I were going to choke my Office up
with perjury suits against witnesses
In minor cases we would not get any
business done, so those perjured wit.
nesses went scot free"
As further illustration Mrs. Kelley
spoke of the difficulty the New York
State Department Of Labor has expert
enced In the past two years In prose
cutting Gamers. The trouble was not
with perJured witnesses there, but with
local Juries. The local juries would
not convict because most of them were
farmers who sell their goods to the
canneries and had no idea of partici-
pating In the punishment of their Gus
toners. THAT condition is so wide
spread throughout New York. New Jer-
sey, Maryland and Delaware" said
Mrs. Kelley, that there is no present
hope Of enforcing the child labor law
In the canneries of those states with
local jurors in local courts.
81 do not share the millennial belief
that we shall in any near future have
our laws Obeyed by the agreement Of
employers and employees in industries
in which the employees are inorganic
ed. Laws are obeyed only where there
are powerful organizations Of workers
to compel obedience. But where there
is a body of helpless aliens, as In most
sweated industries. or In remote vii
lagos far from the searchlight 1t will
take a great deal Of evidence, to con-
vince me that all employers will vol
unfairly obey the child labor law. Our
need is the passage OF
federal child labor law to enable the
federal government TO enforce the
law"

COWPEAS FOR SEED

The time is now here for saving
cowpeas for seed. II pays TO pick
and save them for home use. A
farmer can't afford to raise cow
peas for hay and turn under and buy
his seed every year. As the peas
begin tc ripen. pick them. Put
them in sacks, sun them a few days
before stacking away in barn or
crib.

To Cure Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises viii be glad
10 know that this distressing affhction
can usually be successfully treated al
home by an internal medicine that in
many instances has effected a COM
plete cure after other treatments have
failed. Sufferers who could scarcely
hear a watch tick tell how they have
hal their hearing restored TO such an
extent that the tick Of the watch was
plainly audible seven or eight inches
away from either ear.
Therefore. if YOU know of someone
who is troubled with head noises or
catarrhal deafness, cut out this form
ula and hand il TO them and you will
have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. The prescription can be pre-
pared az home and is made as fol-
lows:
Secure from your druggist 1 o.
Farmint Double Strength). about -5c
worth Take this home and add to it
IA pint Of hot water and OF. Of
STanulated sugar: stir until dissolved
Take one tablespoonful four times a
day
Parmint is used in this way not
only to reduce by tonic action the in
tlammatiOn and swelling in the Eus-
tachian Tubes, and thus to equalize
the air pressure on the drum. but to
correct any excess Of secretions in the
middle ear, and the results it gives
are nearly always quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial and free themselves from this
destructive disease.
