WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The de-
partment of labor authorizes the fol-
lowing:
Warned by the increasing number
of children leaving school for work
and the corresponding decrease in
school attendance, the children's bu-
reau of the United States department
of labor announced today "back-to-
school drive" This is the third step
in the children's year campaign to
provide adequate protection for the
children of the United States in war
time. Like the two previous children's
wear drives. it is to be conducted thru
the thousands of child welfare COM
mittees organized under the child con-
servation section of the council of ma
tional defense.
Studies made by the children's bu-
reau in industrial and commercial
towns prove that large numbers of
children are wage earning instead of
studying to train themselves to fill
skilled positions after the war. When
the call for men and women trained
to help in rebuilding the world will be
insistent.
Child Labor Not Essential.
The "back-to-schoor' drive is an at
/ tempt to induce more children and
parents to realize that the training
/ the children can secure now to tit them
/ for after the war tasks is patriotic
service Its aim is to carry out the
\ purpose to conserve the country's chill
dren expressed in various orders of the
departments directly concerned with
war production. These orders show
! that child labor is not now considered
necessary in essential war industries.
The war labor policies board has ruled
that no child under Il years of age
shall be employed on work done under
government contract. The fact that
the government is now the largest em-
ployer of labor makes this ruling af-
feet n very large number of children,
The United States employment serv-
ice has recently directed its branch
offices thruout the country to discour-
age the employment of children under
l6. and to place the children who can
not be returned to school not in blind
alley jobs but in occupations where
they can become increasingly skillful
and useful.
School Welfare Committees.
In carrying out the drive local chile
welfare committees will cooperate
with the school authorities in learning
why the children in each community
are at work instead of at school. Th'
school welfare committee assigned t
each school house will visit the chill
| dren reported by the school rs having
not come back this autumn.

old individualistic dogma of every
man for himself and the devil take
the hindmost is gone forever. No
longer can the welfare of the indi-
vidual be disregarded as of no concern
to society"
This declaration is made by United
States Senator Hiram Johnson, who in
1912 received over 100000 votes as
vice-presidential candidate, in n state
ment to the California social insurance
commission strongly urging state leg
islation for workmen's health insur-

and advanced by distributing the cost
and the loss incident to sickness,
Senator johnson says, 1--WE should be
wanting in our duty if we did not
undertake the task. That this prog
ress and betterment can be accom-
plished by social health insurance the
experience of the world has now dem
onstrated.

Having been appointed as one of the
Judges of election and member OF
the registration committeeln precinct
50 Ell Paso county, which includes the
Union Printers Home and Mob Hill,
the Home correspondent, Samuel Boil,
resident from Big 6" Typographical

that capacity on election day, Tues
day.
Herman Mulack, resident of the
Home from Typographical Union No
s, St. Louis, received the cheerful news
last Thursday that his son, Edward.
21 years old, also a printer, member
of the same union, arrived in Camp
Bowie, Fort Worth, Texas, a week
ago last Monday. He enlisted last
June and mustered out from the One
Hundredth division from st. Louis
This is Mr. Mulack's only child, and
altho unable himself to invest in Lib
erty bonds or help financially in win
ming the war, he feels proud and happy
that his only son is aiding in the fight
for liberty and democracy for this
country and to stamp out autocraiy-
One of our recent arrivals coming
to the Home on Wednesday, October

prove TO be the deciding factor in the
child's staying out of school. If the
family earnings have been reduced by
the fact that the father or older broth
er is serving in the army, the Red
Cross will help the child to stay IN
school. Many children will not be af.
fected by this provision, however, and
for such children the bureau urges
that local committees secure scholar
ships. These scholarships are similar
TO those now established in practically
all colleges and universities; they al
ready exist in certain city school sys-
tens.
There are PSI, 1000 school houses in
the United States, and for each a
committee on school welfare is to be
appointed for the ''back-to-school'
drive. As the children's bureau points
out, if each committee will provide
scholarship to keep one child in school
this year it will mean that 2S1,OOO
children will be kept from premature
entry into industry. The cost of one
such scholarship is usually about s12O
year.

WAGES A GIFT?
By JAMES NJ. LYNCH,
Former President international

York State Industrial
missioner.

There is no gratitude in them" ="
This assertion was recently made by
"A manufacturer discussing his EN-
ployes. Il voluntarily raised one
mans wages; he had been with me
for years at the same weekly rate,
and | made the increase on my own
motion. without request from him.
Going thru the factory the other day,
I was stopped by this man. Of
course. ! thought he wanted 10 thank
me. Nothing Of the kind; he told me
the increase was not enough. ! tell
you. there is no gratitude IN them,
no matter what you do FOR them
This set me thinking. What
prompted the employc 10 express for
the first time in years his wage aspi-
rations7 Did the unsolicited and long
deferred increase in wages break the
bonds Of fear that economic isolation
brings TO the unorganized wage
Garner? Was there the sudden out
burst Of pent-up resentment against n
condition Of servitude that precluded
any voice, direct or indirect, in the
sale of labor and time?
Gratitude may be unfettered or
slavish; IT may be the natural eS-
precision of free wage Garner, or the
hypocritical and cxpectant fawning of
the unorganized toiler protected only
by his mythical IL legal right of con-
tract" Organized wage earners are
self rcliantly grateful; they are ap-
preciative of their hard-won right of
collective bargaining; they are con-
scious OF their gains thru mass action.
To organized toilcrs wages are not
a gift

the same service as men will receive
the same pay.
