In view of the grave questions fac
ing the labor movement and the seri-
Gus situation that arose in Everett
when citizens took the machinery of
law into their own hands, the con-
vention will arouse more interest in
the labor world than has any other
gathering in recent years.
Delegates should not run away with
the idea that all the citizens of Ev-
erett outside the unions are antago-
nistic to trade unionism. Far from it..
There are many small business men
who have no sympathy whatever with
the destructive program of the union
haters, and the people generally are

will be no necessity for any delegate
wearing his artillery" and the dele
gates may be assured of a cordial and
hearty welcome from the majority of
Everett's citizenship.
Pleasing Entertainment Features
Plans are being laid by the Central
Council and Label League for enter
tainment features which will please
the delegates and make the serious
work of the convention lighter by
reason of the entertainment features.
1t will be necessary for delegates to
scatter out around town in a number
of hotels, so it would be the part of
wisdom for the delegates to write to
the hotels listed in the circular mailed
to them by Secretary Taylor and Sc
cure accommodations in advance
There will be ample accommodations
for all delegates and visitors, but it
will not be possible to house them all
in one hotel, as in some former con-
vention cities.
Next week we hope to be able to
give you further information of in
terest concerning the convention
program.

CHILDREN MORTCACED
TO INDUSTRIALISM

Theoretically, industrialism is here
for the benefit of the children, the
men and women. Practically, the
women and children are used for the
benefit of industry" declared B. R.
Perstalozzi, superintendent of at
tendance of the public schools in
Milwaukee in an interview. "The
wages paid to women, the mothers of
to maintain them in health, vigor or
virginity.
investigations show that in order
to be successful or profitable, indus
trialism, as it exists today, destroys
the morals and health of it's women
and child workers. A girl of IA, stand
ing at a machine or behind a counter
for eight, nine or ten hours, as the
law permits and industrialism insists
upon, will not be a strong mother
which means a weak child, an un.
happy family and a weakened pos
terity-an ultimate loss to the nation
Two million men are not getting a
wage sufficient for their physical
wants in the United States at the
present time. They are on a physical
level below that of a well-kept horse
or cow. Fathers do not earn enough
to support the family The child is
thus forced to give up its health and
youth in order to exist for the benefit
of industrialism."

NUDGE REBUKED BY EDITOR

Springfield, Mass, Dec. 16.-Ihe
Springfield Republican is not in &C.
cord with Federal Judge Hooks posi-
ton that the Adamson law is uncon'
stitutional, even though the court
confessed he knew nothing of the
merits of the case and only wanted
the United States supreme court to
hasten final judgment
Why did not Judge Hook assume
that congress has the right to pass
such law? asks the editor
THE judge admitted that his opin
ion was not based on study of the
merits of the question; what he did
was TO translate an impression into a
judicial decision, and his impression
might easily have been rooted in a
mere prejudice against the statute
No special harm was done, to be sure;
for the United States supreme court
will not be in the least influenced by
Judge Hook. Yet why should judges
of inferior United States courts, whose
decisions are not final on constitu-
tional questions, ever presume to null
lily an act of congress on the ground
of unconstitutionality? Why don't
they content themselves with a pre-
sumption that any law passed by con-
gress and signed by the president is
constitutionally sound? They might
we'll follow that course, leaving TO
litigants the privilege of appealing
from their decisions to the higher
courts. The practice OF minor judges
in multiplying laws on constitutional
grounds has been much overdone-so
much so that proposals have been
made that only the United States SUI
preme court shall be permitted by law
to deny the constitutionality of an act
of congress-
The editor of the Springfield Re-
publican did a real public service
when it issued that rebuke to Judge
Hook If the press of the whole coun-
try would take the same stand the
people would begin to regain lost re-
spect for the constitution of the
United States. The constitution was
after the civil war when congress
bartered away it's constitutional pre-
rOgative to gain a partisan political end.
The power which congress gave to the
supreme court of the United States
congress can take away from it..
Things have gone from bad to worse
until now the lowest federal courts
