Is U. 5. Department Of Education
A Part Of Union Smashing Gang?

SUBMIT 10 you that this constitutes
the high water mark of dishonest
and contemplate hypocrisy.
Written by a wealthy manufacturer
and published by an association of
men whose sons and daughters re
main in school and college for eight
years after they reach the age of
fourteen, and, even then, seldom en-
gage in productive toll it is a plain
Justification Of the facts, regarding a
system that uses hunger to force the
children of the poor into mines and
factories just at the time when they
should be best able to receive in
struction that would fit them for the
appreciation and enjoyment of the
finer things of life, with the sacrile-
giOus suggestion that God has aban-
doned the little ones, and is on the
side of the men who are crushing out
their lives in mine and factory.
Continuing his argument, the au-
thor of this pamphlet, which you
have so widely circulated, says:
Let us remember, too, that sub
stantially all the working people of
the world have quit school at this
early age, and are likely to as far
ahead as we can see."
If your government bureau made
practice of sending broadcast all pub
lications on the subject of industrial
education, some palliation might be
found for your conduct. But l found
that you have not distributed the re-
port of the government commission
which investigated this subject. Nor
have you circulated the declaration of
the American Federation of Labor,
representing two million organized
workers of this country, adopted at
the annual convention in San Fran
cisco, in November last, and which
said:
"In approving industrial education
equal attention should be given to the
general studies and requirements of
the school children. The convention
believes the latter of greater import
ance to the future welfare of the work
ers than the former instruction. In
dustrial education shall include the
teaching of the science undertaking
the various industries and industrial
disputes, being taught their historic,
economic and social bearings"
The Committee on Industrial Rela- |
tions demands of you a quick repudia- !
ito nof the pamphlet which you have
and an assurance that
any additional literature on this sub
ject, or any other, connected with the |
of the American youth,
which the National Association of !
may issue, shall not |
be given the stamp of the United |
States Bureau of Education, by your
self or any other public official, nor
under government frank
Unless this request is complied
with, the opponents of child labor ev-
erywhere will be asked to petition
the president to remove you from of
flee, and formal request will be made
of congress to institute an investiga-
ton of the means by which this pros
titution of the Bureau of Education
was accomplished.

!
lished by the National Association oi
Manufacturers, an organization that
has earned the contempt of the Amer
ican people.
But, on reading your pamphlet,
find, in comparing it with Emerys
statements before the congressional
committees, that the advantage is all
with Emery.
This representative of the National
Association of Manufacturers brazen-
ly defended the exploitation of the
little children on financial grounds,
whereas the pamphlet circulated by
you undertakes to disguise this pur-
pose by hypocritical expressions of
socilitude and sentiment, couched in
the familiar cant phrases with which
the Pecksniffian uplifter vainly en-
deavors to gloss over the hideous
facts found in the economic and in
dustrial field
The purpose is apparent, through
out, to still further stimulate child
labor, and, at the same time, to throw
about it a mantle of responsibility
More children are to be diverted into
industry at tender age, if the hopes
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers, as here set forth, are real
lied, and they are to be made more
skillful, in order that the wages of
their fathers can be still further de-
pressed, and boy and girl set against
father and mother in the killing strug-
gle for bread
Thus, the pamphlet reports an en-
ployer as saying, on a visit to an in
dustrial school conducted under the
dual system of control:
why, l pay ten dollars a day for
the kind of work that fifteen year old
boy is doing"
Supplementing its defense of the
dual system of control, by which in
dustrial education is to be admins
tered by separate board and class
divisions thus emphasized. the pamph-
let says:
Business men must largely deter
mine the character of these schools
if they are to be worth while"
But, above all, direct your par
ticular attention to the authors fall
of the facts regarding child
labor making it appear that children
enter factories for other reasons than
the true one-that they are driven
there by the payment to their fathers
of wages too low to keep their fami-
lies alive.
Says this report circulated by you,
under the stamp of the United States
government:
children do not leave school at
fourteen simply because they are
fourteen, nor because the law allows,
but because they are adolescent At
adolescence the will and the creative
faculties assert themselves. Says
Carlyle, All true work is sacred. In
all true work, be it but true hand la
Dor, there's something divine In the
impulse of the adolescent child to go
to work at fourteen there is, after all,
a reaching for the divine. In the
child's hunger for the world of work
and of real things is a tiny reflection
of that Infinite Spirit which in seven
lays made the world"

ONLY 1884 MINERS
KILLED LAST YEAR
Low DEATH RATE IN MINES

WASHINGTON. OF the 100000
men employed in coal mining last
year, 2,264 were killed. the lowest
death rate in the past 16 years, ac-
cording to bureau of mines figures,
just made public. The number of
men killed is actually the lowest in
the last eight years, despite the in
creasing number of men employed.
The number of tons of coal produced
for each miner killed is the largest in
the history of the coal mining indus
try in this country.
If this decrease continues it will
soon be as safe to go to work as to
go to war.

OUR DUTY IN MEXICO

sake. We are not that kind of peo-
ple, and our interests do not lie In
that direction. But we are confront
ed with a situation in Mexico which
Is calculated to exhaust the patience
OF any person with an ounce of red
blood in his veins.
1t is time for us to stop quibblins
and do some real acting.
Our states bordering upon Mexico
are raided with impunity by the out
laws and cutthroats who infest the
northern section Of that country.
Our citizens are murdered or outrag-
ed and their property stolen or de-
| stroyed. The defacto government
~ MovicO Is not only powerless to
stor these forays. but we have every
reason for the belief that the author
tiles are making no effort whatever
TO check them,
Every American city or town on
the border is in constant danger OF
invasion by the bandit followers OF
the Mexican leaders. No home is
safe from the destroyer, no feminine
heart IS ever devoid of the constant
" increasing fear of the brutal raw
isher.
Under these conditions the duty
Of the United States IS clear.
The citizens of our border states
are our own people. they are our
own flesh and blood. and their in
terests are our interests. They are
entitled to the protection Of the
whole nation. and as nation 1t is
our duty to afford them that protec-
ton.
Tho government Of Mexico will do
nothing. It therefore is up to us
to do something.
We have waited for years for the
restoration OF law and order In
Mexico. and conditions are infinitely
worse today than they ever were be-
fore. The future holds out no hope
Of anything but unlimited and un-
bridled brigandaee, an impossible
condition for this country to longer

own interests.
