CHILD LABOR LAW
is NO HARDSHIP

Philadelphia. to the as
sertions of its opponents, the new
child labor law has not caused the
hardships predicted. The law provides
that every child between the age of
IA and 16 employed in an industry
shall have eight hours schooling every
week According to Henry Gideon
chief of the bureau of compulsory ed
ucation, the claims of the Manufac
turers' Association and other oppo-
nents of this legislation have proven
The number of children
leaving school and seeking employ
ment certificates so far this year is
| 100, against 1000 issued in CORES
ponding months last year. According
to Mr.. Gideon, if the present rate of
reduction is maintained, between
Z 900 and 5000 children who would
have left school under the old law
will remain in school because of the
provisions of the new law.

where the workmen's rights will be

WHY OPPOSITION
is PASSING

1t is a fact, that where formerly al
most everyone was more or less op-
posed to labor unions, the general
sentiment of the whole country is
undergoing a change. Men who few
years ago were most bitter opponents
of the unions, are today advocating
tunity to work out the true democ-
racy for which they stand. Amerl-
can ideals stand for a perfect democ-
racy; perfect democracy is that
form of government which guarantees
to all an equal chance. More and
more, men who have the welfare of
the nation at heart are coming to
realize that trade, unions stand for
equal opportunity for all, and that
instead of being the "unreasoning
monster" as it was formerly consid-
cred, the labor union is far more
reasonable in its demands and more
inclined to grant a measure of JUS
tice, than is the representative of
capital, who still cltngs to the idea
that labor is a commodity and that it
ought to be for sale at the lowest pos
sible figure to insure them big profits,
and who totally disregard the human
factor in the matter.
The opposition is passing because
the trade unionist himself is getting
a better education in the principles of
democracy, he has fought a good
fight; has climbed over obstacles APP
parently insurmountable at one time
and has pioneered the way for re-
turn to the ideas upon which the
government was founded; this educa
tion has developed powerful sympa
thies among the trade unionists and
taught them the lesson, that to ben
eft themselves selfsacrifice is neces
sary, and that to insure the fulfill
ment of present promises, it is neces
sary to remember, that an injury to
one is the concern of all,-Oklahoma
FederatiOnist.

TIE PACKERS GENEROSITY

The st. Louis packers have raised
the wages of their employees 100000 a
week. Sounds big, doesn't it? But
here are 10000 of them, and this is
he first raise in eighteen years.
Meanwhile the cost of living has
'sen by not less than 80 per cent
The packers take great credit for al
lowing this advance unsolicited.

ers' Journal0
AS society and industry are organ
lied today the individual is helpless.
The problems which affect the sew
eral groups in society can only be
worked out through collective effort
and labor has the right to expect that
as the industrial problems are being
worked out, no right or privilege
will be allowed to any one group
which is not fully granted to the
others.
Labor believes that the courts
should set aside as antiquated, i'm
practical and unjust much of the COM
mon law based upon judicial prece-
dents which were established at "a
time when the conception of the rela-
tionship between employers and work
men differed from what it is at pres
ent.
We have passed the time OF owner
and slave; the implication contained
in the term master and servant" as
applied years ago is repugnant to
our present conception of the work
ers' rights as free men and citizens.
The industrial condition today,
which forces the workmen to depend
upon the owners or controllers of
tools and capital, for labor and wages
differs as much from the former con-
dition which existed, as our steam
railways contrast with the period
when overland transportation was by
stage coach and turnpike. Instead
of depending upon presidents hand
ed down at a period when conditions
were far different than at present,
labor expects of the American courts
that they shall first of all make a
study of the actual conditions affect
ing labor today, and if necessary
have the courage to establish prece-
dents by their present decisions
which will aim towards establishing
equality of rights, privileges and OPP
portuntes under conditions which af-
| feet the workers today.
If the workers who compose the
great mass of our people are to make
progress, they must work out their
salvation largely through their own
initiative They must abandon the
individual effort as wholly inadequate
and instead use their efforts collec-
lively If they are to have an ade-
quate voice in regulating the terms
/ labor is to be performed, they
must establish democracy in the
industries so that government in the
shop, like government in the nation
shall be through and by consent OF
the governed.
Three great struggles have taken
those conditions of liberty which
would make man truly free. Relig-
| ous liberty and political liberty have
been firmly established in the prog
ressive and civilized nations of tn
earth. Industrial liberty still remains
more of a shadow than a substance
for large portion of the wage-earn-
ers, and it is unfortunate that many
of the wage-earners efforts to estab-
lish a necessary degree of industrial

Philip Has Gone tsBug-House.

Philip Alexander, the negro dray-
man employed by R. J. Madry & Co.,
while selling few bales Of hay to the
band of gypsies Saturday afternoon,
became suddenly frightened at the
curios jargon employed by the nomads
in the course of the sale of the long
feed, and became instantly mentally
distracted. He abruptly left the com
pany for which he worked and began
rambling about town making foolish
statements. The evening that he left
his job he spent in the woods to the
north of Scotland Neck The next
day he returned and at his sane inter
walls asid that he interpreted the words
Of the gypsies to mean eve killum
niggers.' The authorities were mott

Loses Fine Mule,

While removing earth from a ditch
on his farm, which is about two miles
from Scotland Neck last Monday, Mr..
w. L. House lost one Of his finest
farm mules. 1t seems that a negro
who was working the mule to a scoop
had emptied the earth and was in the
act of turning around to go after an
other load Of dirt when the scoop
struck root and turned itself over
with the blade striking the mule on
his rear right leg and severing the
main leader and breaking the leg bone.
Mr.. Lawrence House, then to end the
suffering of the animal, emptied the
contents of his Colt s revolver into
the mule IS head, instantly causing his
death.

with them.
