]. B. Clinedinst Cites Alexandria Man
ufacturers to Appear in the Police
Court This Morning.

Most of the time of the Police
Court this morning was consumed il
investigating the cases of five Alex
andria manufactures, the operator:
of which had been summoned to ap
pear and show cause why they shoulc
not be fined for alleged violations Of
the child labor and safety laws of the
state. j. B. Clinedinst, factory in
spector of the Bureau of Labor anc
Industrial Statistics, of Virginia, was
the complainant.
The proprietor of the Alexandra
Iron Works, it was charged, had vio-
lated the law in not having safety
appliances in connection with betting
pulleys, etc., at his plant at the
southeast corner of Wilkes and Royal
streets. The proprietor signified his
purpose to comply with the law, and
the charge was dismissed.
J. & H. Aitcheson faced similar
complaints. Their case was disposed
of as was that against the Alexandria
Iron Works.
Harris S. Merino, superintendent Of
an overall factory, in the upper story
of the Gazette building, was charged
with violating the child labor and
safety law. Two children, 13year-
old girl and boy year or two
younger, had been found, it was al
legged. sewing buckles on overalls.
Their mother is employed in the fac
tory and the children have been ac-
companying her to work and virtually
helping her, she working by th~ piece.
The children are not upon the pay
roll. The case was dismissed and
Merino told that in future he must
secure a permit from the Judge of
the Corporation Court in order to al
law children under IA years of age
to work in the factory. He was also
directed to have doors at his fac
tory open on the outside.
The National Biscuit Company was
charged with violating the child
labor law by employing negro child
-ren under. IA years of age. It was
shown that the boys had been receiv-
ing fifty cents day, they not work
ing regularly, but only when they
felt like it. Sometimes they came
to the factory and cleaned cans for
as many cakes as they could eat The
charge against the company was dis
posed Of as had that against Merino.
The superintendent of the Rammel
Manufacturing Company next faced
the court. He. too was charged
with working boys IL years of age.
Rammel said he did not know the boy
who had been at the bottling machine,
which was lin charge of a youth of
lawful age. He suggested that he
may have ben operating the machine
while the older youth was away tenn
porarily., This, case was. also dis
missed. - - =

wasted from his farm carries away
these elements in solution.
In conclusion it may be said that
these losses may be avoided by ser
wing to the land only aus much water
as the crops can utilize, and while
the rain belt farmer drains his land
and must submit to the excessive
rain falls that leach out his coil, the
arid farm irrigator has the moisture
conditions absolutely under his con-
troll and there is no good reason why
his land should not be more fertile
and productive in century than
when first reclaimed.
