CHILD LABOR is RUINOUS.

Waterbury, Conn.-"Childrcn are a
communtys greatest and most valuable
asset" said Superintendent Johnson of
the State rcformatory, in an address in
this city.
Upon them the futures welfare or
degradation must depend. OF what avail
is it to build magnificent structures or
great commercial organizations if the
human beings who are to be the motive
power in them are not of the proper kind.
We like to think that in our democracy
there are upon the streets today some
future president of the United States or
some future governor of our common
wealth.
1T is true that ont from the children
must come the leaders in goodness, but
the future leaders in wickedness and
crime are also to come from the same
group in communal life. The child can
not speak for itself, it therefore be-
hooves those of us who are interested
in the better tomorrow as well as a
brighter today to see to it that the chill
dren's rights are protected and their
interests conserved.

CONSUMERS MUST PAY.
Anthracite Operators Say Higher
Price Will BE Necessary.

Philadelphia - Anthracite operators
here last Monday said that the prices
of prepared sizes of coal will have to be
increased to the consumers as result
of the agreement that has been reached
with the mine workers in the hard coal
fields. What the amount of the increase
will be will not be known until the de-
tails of the new agreement have been
worked out
New freight rates on anthracite coal
will have to be figured in the proposed
increased prices A readiustment of
freight rates from the Pennsylvania
mines to New York and New Jersey
points went into effect April /. and re-
ductions of freight rates to Philadelphia
and other Pennsylvania points are being
fought out in State Courts.
S. ID. Warriner president of the Le
high Coal and Navigation Company,
chairman of the Operators General Con-
ference Committee, said the new agree
ment would involve a general wage in
crease of slightly more than 10 per cent.
or between S1O0OOOOO and $l2.OOO,OOO a
year.
The General Committee of the anthra-
cite operators met here May l. heard the
report of its subcommittee which negoti
ated the agreement, and formally ratified
the new wage scale.
Without waiting for the tentative
agreement to be ratified formally by the
mine workers. the Lehiph Valley Coal
COMPANY Nav | placed all day workers
in the IIazelton district on the eight
hour system.

HUNDRED THOUSAND IDLE
In New York Due To Strikcs-Gar-
mcnt Industry Is ParaIyZcd.

New Hork.-ApproXmately 100000
persons employed in various trades in
this city now are on strike, according to
estimates made. and thousands more are
threatening to quit work unless their
demands are met. With shipping virtu-
ally at standstill, owing to the walkout
of engineers and iiremen employed on
tugboatS and lighters, and the garment
industry almost completely paralyzed by
a lockout and strike, employers general
ly declared that not III many years had
labor conditions here been SO chaotic.
Officials of the various unions said
there was comparatively no change in
the situation. Although hundreds of
pickets were employed during the day
in the garment strike, it was said that
seldom, if ever, have labor differences
here, affecting so many workers, been so
free Of disturbances.
The 10000 garment workers employed
in 900 independent shops, who went on
strike recently in an effort to enforce
the demands of an equal number of
workers who were locked out from the
/ shops of the Manufacturers Protective
| Association, were attircd in their best
clothes and poured from the many build
! ingS as il they were off for a brief
holiday.
Considerable relief was expressed in
shipping circles tonight by the announce
ment that the larger companies probably
would follow the lead of the lntcrnation-
al Mercantile Marine in acceding to the
demands for higher wages of the long
shorcmen, 10000 of whom threatened to
strike The chief development of the
day in respect to this class OF labor was
a strike Of several hundred freight hand
lers in Jersey City. The great difficulty
now confronting them, however, the en-
ployers asserted. was the tie-up of tug
boats with approximately 100000 tons of
freight waiting to be moved.
1t was announced tonight that a com
mittce had been formed to take up the
differences which exist between striking
carpenters and their employers, and thai
an early adjustment was expected. The
statement also was made that 10000
painters who walked out recently, would
return to work in less than week.
The forces of the striking garment
workers were increased when 1000 mem.
bers of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union went on strike. They
were employed in the manufacture OF
mems clothing and are the first in the
industry to quit work.

ARBITERS FIX CONTRACT
For Cincinnati Stcamfittcrs For
Period of Three Years.

Steamftters and Helpers Union, Lo-
cal 3o2, and the Cincinnati Master
Steamfitters' Association, last Friday
signed a new three-year working agree
ment. thus averting, it is said. possible
industrial strife, May /, when the old
contract expires. The Joint Arbitration
Board. established under an agreement
entered into between the Building Con-
structon Employers Association and the
Building Trades Council brought about
the settlement between committees rep
resenting the master steamfitters and the
journeymen.
Under the new agreement the men will
receive the present wage, So day. for
the first two years of the contract. On
May /. 1918, a ) per cent increase goes
into effect to remain in force the re-
naming life of the agreement. The in
crease will amount to % cents a day for
the steamfitters and 1917 cents a day for
the helpers.
Another change from the old agree
ment is that not more than one helper
will be allowed to a steamhtter. This is
what the steamfitters term a straight
gang proposition and does away with the
surplus helper, allowed under the old
agreement. This change went into eff
feet Monday. May L. Under the new
contract the employers are granted the
right to employ laborers to do the COM
mon labor connected with the trade. The
hours of labor remain the same.

WHERE "PUBLICITY" FAILED.

Phoenix, Ariz.-Ned Creighton, who
conducted a publicity bureau for the
mine operators during the recent copper
strike, pleaded guilty in the United States
district court OF violating the federal
law relating to printing advertisements
under the guise OF news matter. Creigh-
ton was proprietor of the Arizona News
Service, which supplied newspapers with
reading matter and photographs in an
attempt to turn public opinion against
the strikers. Many Of the newspapers
that accepted this subsidy from the mine
operators failed to print the word "ad-
vertisement,' even in small type, i'll the
reading matter Creighton, who pro
cured the printing OF the advertising,
was indicted as a result

suit in delaying revision of the franchise
indefinitely.
Culkins Announces His Plan.
Nothing but details are being discuss
ed here he said, "and there seems to be
no system. My suggestion is that this
committee and, perhaps, a small commit
tee of citizens confer with the traction
officials to formulate some sort of a
franchise which can then be thrown open
to the public for criticism and sugges-
tions. Perhaps the company would be
willing to surrender its present franchise.

Councilman Mullen said that he could
not agree with Mr.. Culkins.
81 think it is due to the people that we
give them every opportunity to be heard
on this subject, and after this has been
done we may then follow Mr.. Culkins'
suggestion he said.
A number of citizens present all fav-
ored a universal transfer system.
Vice President Draper, of the traction
company, informed the committee that
the company has secured the services of
Peter Witt, of Cleveland. to devise some
simplilied transfer system that would be
satisfactory to the citizens and the COM
pany alike.
