is in the service in South Africa.
Like magic she becomes the pet Of
the family. and she is happy as can
be- But the day Of reckoning comes
when her family prepare her we'd

greater part of their working time,
should be classed as street traders,
while those working during school
hours should be in the employment
certificate class. Whether our posi-
tion is justified by a reasonable con-
struction of the law we are not quite
sure but will say that It has worked
very well so far. AS we have had
occasion to mention in peryious reports
the great majority OF the actual So
called street traders is made up OF the
newsbOys and as in the application OF
tie law to this class II has been the
practice to exclude from its provi.
sions those who serve the papers. our
supervision is limited to those found
in the process Of selling and the num-
ber of such is not very large.
We submit herewith as required by
Section 81 of the Child labor Law, a
report OF special permits issued during
the past four months, and would call
your attention to the classification as
suggested at the last meeting Those OF
children under fourteen years of age
being classified as "Class A. while
those over fourteen are classed as "B,
being such children as were unable 20
produce the necessary papers for the Is
suance Of an employment certificate, but
required TO seek employment from nc
cessitv. The number Of Class 4 per
mits issued since our last report is six
and the number of Class B, twenty-five
and the total number of special permits
issued during the present adminisira'
ton and active at the present time Is
twenty-oue
Violations OF the law are still quite
numerous but not OF a serious ma
ture, and we have found II neces-
sary to bring eight cases into court
in order to command respect for the
law and its administrators. In three
Of these cases the decision OF the
court was adverse to our contention
and brought about a change in our
plan Of administration as herein
mentioned.

SENATE RESOLVES
| TO CEASE WORK
Democrats Will Seek to Hold Re-
publicans to Promise of CO.
operation.

Washington, July 16.- Senate
Democrats have resolved on an ad-
journment of congress by August 20
if possible, and work of speeding up
the urgent Legislative programme
outlined by the party caucus last
night will begin in earnest tomorrow.
When debate on the naval appro-
priation bill is resumed Democratic
leaders will seek to hold Republicans
to their pledge of cooperation and
will urge their colleagues to limit de-
bate. The big building programme
probably will be disposed of in two
or three days.
Following the naval bill will come
the army appropriation measure car
rying approximately $500, 100000.
Leaders now estimate that both of
these national defense bills can be
sent to conference by the end Of the
week. The senate then will be ready
to take up the shipping bill, which
promises to develop the only serious
opposition confronting any of the
legislation on the administration i'm
perative programme.
eff we adhere to the action of last
caucus" said Majority Leader Kern
today 81 can see no reason why ad-
journment cannot be taken by Au-
gust 49,. ..,"' *
"Such measures as the child labor
and immigration bills, food control
and vocational education bills, the
woman's suffrage amendment and
other measures on the calendar were
worthy of consideration but the cau-
Gus determined that other matters
were of more urgent Importance and
that these should 60 over until win
ter session with an understanding
that they would be taken up as soon
as possible after congress meets In
December" ..'." j.. ~ -.
The Democratic steering commit
tee will meet early this week and
probably will agree upon a pro.
gramme including consideration of
following measures in the order
named:
Appropriations, shipping, revenue,
workmen's compensation, corrupt
practices, Philippine self government
Civil war and Spanish war pensions
and interstate commerce commission
enlargement bills. All of these have
passed the house.
The federal workmen's compensa-
ton bill it was reported today is to
have precedence over the child labor
and immigration bills because of the
keen interest President Wilson has
exhibited in it.
While the senate is finishing its
programme the house will remain in
practical inaction.
