TACOMA DAILY NEWS
FAVORS S-HOUR DAY

arguments against the eight-hour
day are for the most part the il
lusory imaginings of men who will
not see," says the Tacoma Daily
News.
"They will not see because preju-
dice clamps their intellects. They
are themselves the imprisoned vic
tins of the long day, just as their
workmen are. Their intellectual
freedom-and what else is worth liv-
ing for?-is compressed by the cold
and miserly notions of day that is
past-past because those notions
have been chushed by fact, which
does not admit that the eight-hour
day is an economic waste, but which
insists instead that it is conservation
plus, saving of man power, a
guide to a better citizenship and a
happier order. The way is clear to
those whose visions are clear"
In anothereditorial the Daily News
says:
"The eight-hour day is unacceptable
Sophists may argue themselves into
shirtless frenzy! employers who think
ruin confronts them may protest to
hoarseness-it makes no difference
For the turn of the tide is at hand
and the short work day will become
a general fact very shortly.
ITO attempt to stem it will hasten
rather than delay, the day of its
coming. For it has reached that
happy status in its career where OPP
position helps it.
"The northwest will be ahead by
a princely sum if mil lowners will
accept the idea now, and then light
in to make the profits that are GER
tain to be made with all hands
busy"

CHILD LABOR LAW
WILL BE EFFECTIVE
ON SEPTEMBER |

Tomorrow the new Federal Child
Labor Law takes effect. Hereafter
no child under Ia may be employed
IN any factory, mill, workshop, or
cannery in the United States whose
products are to be shipped in in
terstate commerce, and no child I'M
der 10 in any mine or quarry. The
working day of children ID and Is
years of age in factories may not
be employed between p. m. and 6
a. m.
The enforcement of the law has
been delegated by the Secretary of
Labor to the Children's Bureau of the
Department of Labor and the head of
the new child-labor division of that
Bureau is Miss Grace Abbott of Chi
cago. Miss Abbott has been at
work for several weeks on the de-
tails of administration with staff
OF temporary assistants in order that
there might be no delay in enforcing
the law.
The issuing of Federal certificates
of age in States where the State
requirements for proof of age are
below the Federal standards has al
ready begun and the methods of co,
operation with State officials have
been worked out. Although the
Children's Bureau will have it's own
permanent staff of inspectors and
will, when necessary, initiate its
own proceedings for prosecution in
case of violation, it will so far as
possible avoid duplication of the work
of State labor officials.
Miss Abbott has had broad ex-
perience in industrial matters in
this country and abroad. She has
lived for many years in an indus
trial neighborhood and has visited
Europe repeatedly to observe in
dustrial committees especially in
countries from which immigration
has been large in recent years. Since
1908 she has been actively engaged
in work on industrial problems as
they have affected immigrants, part
of the time as executive secretary
of the Massachusetts State Immigra-
ton Commission and more recently
as director of the Immiprants' Pro-
tective League of Chicago. The
permanent staff of assistants will
be selected from candidates approved
by the U. S. Civil Service Commits

his union and his town. Brother

OUR LAND.

There ts a familiar strain in all the 1otterB published from American sol-
 0ers abroad. It is: Oh, for some Good old American tobacco; oh, for " cigarette that is real cigarette!
 Before the war started we used to hear some wonderful tributes to the lands oer the sea. and all the great things they produced. Everything abroad was supposed to be 50 much better than those articles produced or Manufactured here.
 k sNow We hear the lamentations of Jour boys who are lover there..' The |tobacco cannot compare with the brands on sale here. If the truth were known, it has always been this way Europe has held the fascina- tion of those green hills far away" Ut is the old story of distance lending enchantment. Hereafter we shall hold more respect for what We have 1h America. It Is not such a bad place after all.

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAvY
Retro spect.
BY LIEUT.. FITZHUGH GREEN. U. g. N.

Bismarck once said God takes care of drunken mon. fools and the United States"
 We can concede that Bismark was a clever man. Also we may bank pretty heavily on our generosity towards Belgium, our magnanimity towards the whole world. and upon other sub- s1antial virtues to give us a good stand-in with Providence. But we can never be entirely sure. Which ex- pcses us to the danger Of being sure at all.
 The greatest naval luck in the his tory of mankind was ours in the war with Spain. Even Noah had fore sight. In '98 we plunged into decisive engagement with European power which had 137 vessels on her naval list to 87 on our own. Yet in 109 days we wrested from her an empire and prestige extending over two hem- ispheres.
 The Spanish Army register of 1898 set her military forces at 492,067. Our standing army including hospital corps and cooks West Point cadets and their professors, came to the ridicu- lous figure of 28.183 men.
  ish generals and admirals were all that flag officers with whiskers should be. The generals certainly were NOT. And the admirals-or admiral. for poor Cervcra bore the brunt of our punishment-wero puppets in tho clutches of such gOV0UDment graft that there wasn't even coal and shell for target practice. Cervora's fleet had never maneuvered together before 1t steamed west under war orders.
 repeat: We didn't know all this We just decided to fight, and we fought. And when the time came to cj4eer and jubilate we pinned medals on ourselves for the grand triumph we thought we had achieved. We swelled so big that the earth was but q clod beneath our buoyant feet.

"A COAL DEALERS FIGURES.

"1n regard to the shortage of coal," writes g. disgruntled dealer, I've are told by the editor of the New Britain Herald that there will be plenty of eoal in New Britain.-And we are mighty glad to hear it-In other places of the state, yes, all over the United States, they complain about he scarcity of coal, but they probably have not got such good editors" Nor, may we add, do they harbor such won- derful coal dealers. New Britain, in this instance, stands in a class by it. eelf.
 At the very moment the local coal nealer broke into print with his dec- aration the Herald in its editorial col lmns printed pertinent facts about the coal situation. There will be coal for New Britain, and all of New England. And this despite the mumblings of To- eal dealers. It was not the editor of he Herald alone who said there would be coal. The authority for such a
 
 kble to give forth this information. t was no less parsonage than James l. 6tarrow, Federal Fuel Administra- LOT for all of New England, who said we will have coal. Probably Mr. Star row is mistaken. Probably he would Withdraw his statement after consul EAtion with several of the local deal- prs. They evidently know more about the national coal situation than he. Eet, in our innocence, we like to look ko those in whom the Government has placed its faith. They have not gone Do far wrong.
 Coal dealers and coal operators are n the business, not for their health, but for the money they can make out of such business. Any time any one doubts this statement we take partic- ular pleasure in calling their atten- Hon to frank and honest declara- ton of principles enunciated by one Df the nations biggest coal dealers, William Scott, president of the Mis- gouri and Illinois Co.,, who, testify Ing recently at St. Louis, said:
 "It Is tho policy of coal men to make all they can, both in war and peace. There Is no limit We get all we can''
 AS if verifying this statement, pa Lriotic in the extreme, the coal deal pr who yesterday set forth his side Df the case in the columns of this newspaper, gave out a list which pur- ported to show in detail just how much it costs to do business in this town. We reprint the list, because of It's extremely interesting nature: Start Ing off with the startling assumption that a ton of coal net, on the tracks pf New Britain costs $7.80 cents, tho cost of handling after that is set forth as follows:
 6 per cent. interest on money
 invested in business ..... 40 1dA0S .VS Repairs ................ .O1 A03Oranoo .O4
