CHILD LABOR DAY POPULAR.

Child Labor day las been observed
for the past ten years but January 23,

day of them all, according to bulletin
just issued by the National Child

promises to observe the day have come
into the committees offices already
from school superintendents teachers
clergymen, women's clubs and other
organizations, and more are pouring
in every day

Labor day falls in January" said
Owen r. Lovejoy, general secretary Of
the National Child Labor committee,

day to emphasize the need for action
in behalf of the bill and the resu.
should be an overwhelming demand
for its enactment.
"The bill will not pass the house
this year as easily as it did last year
because our opponents were not
awake then. The only opposition to
the bill came from cotton manufac-
turers and only three of them Sp-
peared at the hearings. This year ad
vice from Washington indicates that
there is to be concerted action on the
part of the cotton mill interests and
attempts to block the bill have already
been made This means that we shall
need the help of every individual who
believes that the bill should be passed
because only by convincing the house
and the senate that public opinion is
not with the cotton mill lobby, can
the enactment of the bill be secured.
