MATERNAL DEATH RATE
AMONG COTTON WORKERS

That utterly inadequate means Of
guarding the life OF mothers at child
birth have led to the strikingly high
maternal death rate found In, re-
cent survey of lowland cotton-rais-
ing mountain county of North Caro-
lima is stated by the children's bureau
department OF labor. In a report just
made public. 1t is stated that con-
ditions found in these counties is typ
ical Of the rural areas in many states.
Among negro women the maternal
death rate was 93.9 per 100000 pop
ulation-more than six times the ma
ternal death rate in the death regis
tration area.
''No one of the mothers visited can
be said to have had adequate prenatal
supervision" the report says. It is
pointed out that nearly one-half the
infant deaths occurred within the first
two weeks Of the baby's life. a period
when practically every infant death
comes from causes 1related to the
mothers care before her child was
born.
Better nursing and medical care
through public health nurses and
county centers is recommended BY the
bureau to overcome this high NOR
.tality.

CAPTAIN DOLLAR STILL

The s"solution' Of the merchant ma

funny bone" and Editor scharren-
berg makes this comment on the plan
proposed by this toe OF the seamen's
law:
I'VE don't know whether it is co.
lossal nerve, or that bland, child like
artlessness said to be acquired by
white persons from long and intimate
association with the sons Of the dow-
cry kingdom. But for sheer audacity

the sale by the government Of its
ships to private individuals has every
other scheme Of the kind lashed to
the mast. backed off the boards, and
in general, beaten 81 different ways
from the Jack.
If there is anything to compare
with it, it must be the captains fur
ther proposition that the government
pay to American ship owners the
differences between American sea-
mems wages and Chinese seamen's
wages.
.'There sure must have been some
gasping for bretah when these two
propositions were first sprung upon
the unsuspecting gentlemen compos-
ing the United States shipping board"

PORTO RICO ''M|lkED"
BY U. S. EXPLoITERS

The merciless manner in which
Porto Rico is ':nilked" by American
exploiters is shown by Santiago Igle-
sias. senator in the island assembly
and A. r. Of L. organizer, in a state
ment just issued. >
The economic and social life Of
the island is indicated by Iglesias'
summary:
Gain in business for the year 1918,
$58,175,755; lost in education for
1918, 49,389 children out of schools
Last year the people paid in ex-
cess of $1o.0oo,o00 over the regular
prices on food stuffs imported from
the United States under the SUPER
vision of the food commission. (Gov-
ernor Yeager's annual report is quot
ed as this authority.)
The school attendance of the 400,-
900 children of school age has
dropped from 207. 900 in 1914 to 142,-
S36 in 1913.
The sugar, tobacco. railroad and
ship trusts in the United States says
Iglesias, sho':d be satisfied with an
average profit OF IS per cent and
the people of the island starving and
losing in schools.
General Mcintyre (Washington)
of the military bureau Of insular at
fairs wants to settle many of Porto
Rico's economic sufferings by recon-
mending that some good jobs in the
insular government be given to re-
liable natives.
"This will not affect the economic
exploitation of the island by the
trusts, but it will at least content
some of the politicians and anti
Americans. The masses of the people
do not seem to be of Importance.
1.-The truth regarding Porto Rico
is that President Wilson's meaning
of democracy and freedom is not, the
same as is advocated by his repre-
sentatives in the island. The demo-
cracy applied by Porto Rican officials
is entirely different from the de-
mocracy which the American people
want for the world"

OUR DUTY TO OUR FLAG

Less hate and greed
Is what we need,
And more Of service true;
More men to love
The flag above
And keep it first in view.
Less boast and bras
About the flag,
More faith in what it means;
More heads erect,
More self respect,
Less talk: OF war machines.

The time to fight
To keep it bright
Is not along the way,
Nor scross the foam,
But here at home
Within ourselves-today.
Ills we must love

With all our might and main;
For from our hands,
Not distant lands.
Shall come dishonor's stain.

''Well, has he engaged rooms?"

REYN0L DS' NEWSPAPER
Defends BRITISH LABOR

Reynolds Newspaper is one Of Bri-
tain's even balanced and liberal news
papers. It ignores wild charges
against workers because of present.
day social unrest, and rejects the
vaporings Of space writers. politicians
and publicity seekers who discuss this
question.
1.-The simple fact is" says the edi-
tor, "that labor is determined to
have a far greater share of the
wealth in whose production it is the
principal means. Not merely higher
wages, for higher wages which are
balanced by correspondingly higher
prices, mean: no real change in the
position. What labor means to have
is a bigger share Of what is produced,
and that capitalists and landlords
shall have less share. Those classes
do not yet seem to have realized
this fact.
when engineers are given more
money, or are established at the
wages which were said to be tenn
porary they are told that they must
produce more. Yes. but for wAom /?
1t is on the answer given to that
question that depends what chance
there is of industrial peace.
1T is said that labor is unreason-
able in its demands; that it wants an
unfair share. It may be 80. But
it looks round. and sees quite plainly
that manufacturers and importers,
m1ddlemen and warehousemen. spec
ulators and dealers have all grown
wealthy in such a way as has never
been known
THE way to tackle labor unrest is,
first of all, to deal with the regula-
ton of prices in such a way that
will strike at the root of pronteerins,
which latter should be made an ex-
tremely, unhealthy business"

I'VE must not sacrifice, even in an

Committee OF the American Fedora

whose organized activities American
labor became a recognized and tre-
mendously important factor in win

Cannot this mighty organization see
to it that education shall begin with
the beginning of a child's conscious
activity; and that habits Of order,
cleanliness, and obedience, as we'll as
the awakening and directing of the
power to do shall be started before
the child is years Of age?
Can they not see the necessity that
the kindergarten shall e added to all
our public schools? For it is now a
well established fact that it organizes
a child's life and starts him along the
right road of happy cooperation with
other children, into q love Of worth
while activities. into a realization that
his hands can construct instead IT

GETTING AFTER PIEZ.

A big Industrial conflict such as they
had in Seattle last week is not without
it's cause. Radical @gitators cannot
provoke strike alone. Men do not
strike just for the fun Of the thing.
There is always reason. The $4,000
shipbuilders whom the other union
men of Seattle tried to back UP are
still out. There has been no break
in their ranks.
The Seattle Ministerial Federation
appointed committee to inquire into
the cause of the strike. This commit
tee reported in favor of the men. and
it's report was supported by all but
two preachers in the city. They charge
that Chairman Piez Of the Emerg-
ency Shipping Board has unjustly in
terfered In the matter; that the ship
builders were willing to grant the men
a minimum wage Of $3.50. which they
are asking for.~ but Piez. threatens to
