nection with the world war, he said:
"Govenor Withycombe was mindful Of

due to his burning kilograms that the
conditions at Camp Mills, Long Island,
were corrected"

cent Social Welfare Congress held

The Council is a federation of
Canadian church organizations in

Among the things that will abate
poverty is social Insurance." it is
declared in an official explanatory
statement of the Councils princi-
Piles and program. THE bane of
the average workers life is fear of
unemployment. accident, sickness
and old age. He receives a bare liv-
ing at best while working. What
will happen If his revenue ceases
through any one of these contingen-
cies? The dread is capable of re-

remedy is social insurance.

ment continues, Lloyd George has
covered all these contingencies by
insurance. 1t will keep the

ut is found, too, that insurance

preventative. There is a motive to
provide safety devices, healthy con-

careful prevention. This is social

SENATOR LAMPING'S
SOLDIER BILL LOST

Last Monday the State Senate de-
feated the Lamping Bill appropriate
ing 100000 to suitably reward
Washington's contingent in the
military and naval service OF the
United States in the war Just closed
or about to close.
There are many good citizens who
believe the bill would do too much
for our soldiers and sailors in that
we would by its passage place too
great burden of taxation upon the
people in our enthusiasm and de-
sire to show our gratitude 10 those
who gave their all that freedom
and democracy might live.
The Legislature, controlled by
reactionary politicians, IN the early
days Of the session went mad in
the distribution OF pork" for the
purpose Of bribing several large
Washington cities 10 retain in pow
er the faithful servants Of the cor
porate interests. The pork" was
distributed in the shape OF armor-
les, not needed for the welfare Of
the State, but 70 boost state mill

The Representatives Of the dear
people" heard from their constitu-
ents in the shape Of loud protests
against the increase OF the already
too burdensome taxation, and some
of them heard the kicks" and call
ed halt in the reckless extraya-
gance Of the Legislature.
The Lamping bill failed by a vote
Of q to 81, and It fell to Senator
Thomle, Of Snohomish County, 70
cast the deciding vote. He promised
Senator Lamping to support the
bill, but at the last moment falter-
ingly cast his vote against It. He
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1919-03-07

gave as an excuse for his change OF
front the failure Of the bill to pro-
vide for raising the 100000 by
levying a poll tax so that those who
escaped the draft by rushing into
war industries would have to bear
their share of the burden. Some
excuse was better than none, but
this was a poor one. He would
tax many thousands OF worthy citi-
zens injustly TO punish the few who
avoided the draft. Does this look
good? There are others who avoid
ed the draft, but those who rushed
into war industries were needed
and Senator Thomle knows init the
country must have industries If it
would sustain an army.
There were others who supported
the poll tax provision, though not
for the reason given b. Senator
Thomle, but 10 place the tax upon
those least able 10 pay IT,
In the last analysis labor pays
nearly all the taxes Labor did this
during the war and labor will con-
tinue to pay II under any system
which can be devised, but justice
demands that fair proportion Of
taxes be paid from profits and
wealth piled up b. labor. no matter
in whose hands the wealth may be
held.
The failure Of the Government TO
properly demobilize the army ia the
primary cause Of this and other ef-
forts to aid discharged soldiers and
sailors. If the enlisted men had been
considered still in the service Of
the United States until they reach
ed the places OF their enlistment.
and we're there discharged By 10
cal draft boards and paid what was
still due them by nearest banks and
postoffices, on presentation OF dis
charge papers and Government or
ders for the amounts due them, all
this trouble in concentration camp
communities and inconvenience 20
and privation OF discharged service
men would have been avoided.

NEW CHILD LABOR LAW

The fact that the new Child La
Dor Bill has been passed BY Congress
does not mean that no further ef-
fort Is needed IN behalf Of the work
ing children Of the United States,
according to a statement Just is
sued by the Children Bureau Of the
L. S. Department Of Labor. While
the law is undoubtedly a step In
the right direction, even after It ia
in force young children will be able
TO work at some time, in some oc-
equations, IN practically every
State in the Union. and in many
States boys and girls will be per-
IGitted to work long hours.
The new law, In effect, prohibits
the employment Of children under
IA in factories and Of children IN
der 6 in mines and quarrles, and
insures maximum eight-hour day
and prohibits night work for chill
dren between IA and 16 employed
in factories, but the number Of
children employed in the occupa-
tions designated by the law Is com
paratiyely small The latest figures
OF any reliability relating TO the
employment OF children-those Of
the census OF 1910-give the total
Of working children between the
ages Of 10 and IS as in the region
Of 100000. Considerably under
300 900 OF these children were in
occupations coming within the scope
Of the Federal child labor law. Since
the State laws that have been pass
ed during the last ten years apply
chiefly to the occupations covered
by the Federal law, 1t is safe to as
sumo that the number OF children
touched by the new statute will fall
far below 100000.
The remaining thousands of work.
ing children will have only such
protection as is afforded by the
widely varying laws OF the States
in which they live While six
States, California, Michigan, South
Dakota, Texas, Montana and Ohio,
fix a minimum age higher than IA,
all save Ohio offer exemptions from
the law. Three States, New Mexico,
Utah and Wyoming, have no mini
