Editor Virginian:
Sir-Your editorial of Friday, No
vember s. relative TO the cotton man
ufacturers and child labor is abso-
iutely based upon a misunderstanding
ing, and SO nsanifestIy unfair, that j
ana taking tire iiherty OF calling your
attentit-. to the facts.
Every state in the South with the
exception of North Carolina. pro-
hibits the employment of children
under fourteen years of age and no
effort whateyet has been made to
put children IL that age back to
work during T. period. or at
any other time.
The cotton m, trers OF North
Carolina at the, ing in Ashe-
Vile on July 4, unanimously
requested the legisi., so of North
Carolina, which will meet in January.
1913, to enact "A law prohibiting chill
dren under fourteen years of age to
be employed, and that law will be
passed without any question.
Instead of seeking to employ chill
dren under fourteen years of age, as
stated in your editorial, the only
state that permits such employment
has asked the legislature to prohibit
same, and your editorial is very unfair
TO the industry, but is, no doubt. based
upon a misunderstanding of the case.
/ also state that there is no state
in the South that permits the employ
ment of children for more than sixty
hours per week.

CONVERTED
TO PROHIBITION

Austin, Texas. Nov. 21.--The recon,
decision OF the Texas court OF crimi-
nal appeals, one of it's three members
dissenting, that the statewide prohi-
bition statute was unconstitutional,
does not seem likely to prove very
serious setback to the cause OF prohi-
bition in the state. In the first place
assuming that the decision stands. II
will affect, while the war lasts, only
limited areas containing few cities.
Most of the larger cities are dry by
virtue of the so-called zone law, war
measure, while the greater part OF
the state outside the cities Is dry by
virtue of local option.
The legislature meets in January.
There Is no doubt that ii will submit
to the people the question of writing
prohibition into the constitution; and
there is very little doubt as to what
the response OF the voters will be.
1t is safe to state that there have
been thousands Of converts to prohi-
bition during the several months that
the cities have been closed. The ma
jority in the state were already of
that conviction. and the larger towns.
notably Dallas and Austin, were going
dry.

Iupon the resolution. stated that he had

that only 90 or 100 of the wooden
ships have been built, that only thlrty

brought out In the investigation ana
now that the war emergency is over,

Shipping board officials pointed out
that while it is true that wooden
ships were unable to Withstand the
elements and had proved uusea-
worthy, they had not proved a total
failure. 1t also was stated that wood
