Great Need Exists for
Laws on Child Labor,
Says Chief Of Bureau

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE time
has come when the whole subject
of child labor should be considered
anew with reference to education as
the most effective and profitable
means of control" Miss Lathrop de-
clared yesterday in her annual re-
port as chief of the children's
bureau. In cooperation with state
officials, the bureau is preparing a
plan of uniform reporting to work
certificates issued to children in
states having certificate require
ments, which it is believed will FUR
nish much valuable information re-
garding child labor.
More than 6,500,00O children have
been weighed and graded in the
bureaus children year campaign to
save at least 100000 babies who die
from preventable diseases. The re-
port said wide spread interest was
being shown in the campaign and
many eminent physicians were CIV
ing their service to aid in raising the
physical standard.
Public health nurses and adequate
care for mothers and infants were
urged by the bureau.
Juvenile delinquency was in
creased in many cities by war con-
ditions. Especially notable was the
growth in the number of cases of
carrying concealed weapons. An in
crease in immortality among young
girls in Chicago was attributed to
their Alteration" for soldiers and
sailors.

ASKS PROBE OF
Treatment FOR
A. E.F. WOUNDED
SoIdier-C Congressman Charges
Medical Officers Refuse
Treatment to Soldiers
at Hoboken.

y Aberdeen, S. d., Jan. 2.-(Spe-t
cial.)-Representative Royal c.
Johnson of the Second South Dako-
ia congressional district COM
menced his active campaign for an
investigation of alleged mistreat-
ment of officers and men of the
United States army by members of
the medical corps and hospital at
tendants when he sent a telegram
to the secretary of war and Repre-
sentative julius Kahn of California,
ranking republican member of the
house military committee, demand
ing an immediate investigation OF
charges made.
Representative Johnson's accusa-
tons are based upon his own ex-
periences as he arrived in New York
harbor from France, where he
served as lieutenant in the Amer
lean expeditionary forces, and by
statements furnished him by others.
Insult Officers.
His telegram to Secretary Baker
reads:
"When u. S. S. Maui arrived at
Hoboken December II last, no
proper provision was made for the
care and treatment of convalescent
. officers and enlisted men on board.
Officers convaescing from wounds
were not fed for nine or ten hours
and instead of being placed in hos
pitfalls they were taken to casual
camps at Camp Merritt. Wounded
convalescent officers we're deliber-
ately insulted by Major Gilbert, ap.
parently in charge. Among the Of
fcers were Maj. Oliver L.. White,
3loth infantry, Roanoke, Va; Capt.
William Nudge, Honeois Falls, N.
Y, and myself.
This statement of facts was made
to General McIntire at Washington
on December l9 and Investigations
and corrections promised. l now
learn that these officers have not
been transferred to hospitals up to
three days ago. None of them has
been receiving treatment, but their
liberty has been restricted and they
have been treated as unruly children
instead of as wounded officers. They
have not even been allowed to leave
camp to see the naval parade or to
attend to their business affairs.
Refuse Furlough.
Zone sergeant now at Merritt, for
merly with the l5lst artillery, with
the AID division, received telegram
notifying him that his father was
dying. He was refused pass to
see his father before death. The
father died and the sergeant was not
permitted to attend the funeral and
was not furnished clothes so he
could 20. He later received a tele-
gram that his mother was dead
from the shock of his fathers
death. | have today received this
information from creditable sources,
and its truth can be verified from
officers OF the lSlst field artillery
now or lately at Camp Merritt. Any
of these facts may be verified from
officers and enlisted men arriving on
