100000 Needed

ENFORCEMENT OF NEW
CHILD LABOR LAW.

Under appointment by the Gov
ernor Craig Of Labor and Print
ing M. L. Shipman goes to Wash
ington to participate in a confer
ence Of representatives Of the sew
eral states and the u. S. authori-
ties in the matter of cooperation
in the operation Of the new fed
eral child labor law, which takes
effect September l. The confer
ence is called U. S. Commissioner
Of Labor Wilson for July 81.
Mr.. Shipman suggested to the
legislature last winter that the
state ought to take some action
looking to cooperation in this mat
ter and not leave the North Caro-
lima mills and factories to be in
spected and regulated solely by
the federal agents. But nothing
was done, this state now being
almost alone in not having sucn
cooperative machinery. Mr.. Ship
man may well be trusted to prop
erly represent this state at the
conference. He has a record Of
many years Of being an advocate
Of child labor regulation and of
being a friend to the minors en-
ployed in mills. But he is not q
fanatic' on that or any other
subject. AS a patriotic North
Caroliian he is the friend of man
ufacturers Of any kind and is not
disposed to do any thing radical
that would injure a single indus
try in the state-and he has sense,
enough and experience enough to
know what ought to be done-and
the courage to perform any duty
with which he is charged.
The proper spirit should prevail
and if it does there is no ikeli-
hood that any North Carolina
manufacturing industry will be
seriously "crippled' by the ope-
ration Of this law-not even a cot
ton mill in time Of the war draft
Because the proportion Of male
adults in cotton mills is small.
