PLANS FOR CHILDREN'S Week
IN CLARENDON COUNTY

At the County Convention held in
the Presbyterian Church on Friday of
last week, plans were outlined for the
| observance of "Children's Week" in
South Carolina from April 81 to May
4. At the afternoon session of the
Convention the State Children's Di-
vision Superintendent, Miss Holland,
stated that the purpose of the observ-
ance was to arouse the consciences
OF the parents and religious leaders
to the needs Of rcligiously training
all the children. The objccitves of the
week are to reach and enroll as many
OF the children as possible who are
not in Sunday School, and to organ
u re e, new departments such as Cradle
Roll, Beginners, Primary and Junior,
to introduce Graded Lessons when
they are not being usual, mad to stress
training for the teachers Of children.
The suggestion was made that
through the community leaders, who
VIII work with representatives APP
pointed in each Sunday school, a can
vass be made to get the names of
all children under twelve years of age
end that efforts be made to enroll
them in some school.
Because all sections of the county
were not represented at the conven-
ton it was not possible for "Commun-
lty Leaders" to be elected in every
community. The following we're elect
e! for the Districts or communities
in the county:

Miss Maggie Kirby, Of haywood

are asked to get in touch with Rev.

AF7ER-WAR CONDITIONS
WORRY WOMEN ABROAD

Critical times for the woman work
ers of France and Great Britain were
reported by Miss Mary Mcdowell Of
Chicago. vice president of the Chicago
Women's Trade Union League. to the
conference of women just held in
Washington to advocate the league OF
nations. Miss Mcdowell has just re-
turned from Europe, where she was
sent by the industrial department of
the Y. w. c. A.
During the war they called us
heroines. but they throw us on the
scrap heap now" the women are say
ing, according TO Miss Mcdowell. who
adds that the situation is the more
distressing because most of these
women are workers who for the first

have set up new standard OF living

COMPENSATION LAWS
ARE GROWING IN FAVOR
Six More States Adopt Legislation
in Last Two Years, Bull
letin Shows.

Steady progress Of the movement
tn commensurate for Industrial acct
dents without suits to prove the neg
ligence of the employer Is noted in
a bulletin issued by the bureau of
labor statistics, showing that six new
states adopted compensation legisla-
ton in 1917 and 1918. and that only
ten states or the Union have not as
vet accepted the principle.
.1The day seems not far distant
when the obsolete system of damage
suits and charges and counter
charges of negligence and contribu-
tory negligence will no longer be used
in the disposition of industrial in
Jury claims" the bulletin says.
Burden Is Distributed.
Fear that such legislation would en-
tail undue burdens on industry was
said largely to have been eliminated
as a result of satisfactory experience
under compensation laws and be-
cause it is becoming better under
stood that the laws do not cause
injury loses, but only distribute the
burden of them on the industry as b
whole, instead OF on the weakest ele-
mept of the systematic injured
worker. This realization has opened
the way for amendments liberalizing
the awards allowed.
Advances noted in the bulletin are
the shortening of the waiting time,
for which, as a rule. no compensation
is allowed, and the increase OF the
allowance of medical and surgical
aid. A notable departure in this con-
nection is the provision of the Wash
ington statute for local funds, sup
ported and administered by employ
ers and employees jointly. for the more
effective and equitable administration
of medical benefits.
Among the important court decfs-
ions on the laws was cited the SUI
application Of state compensation
Jaws to employees of interstate car
riers.

Is Chief Information Sought Of
Labor Department Regarding
Its Program.

Inquiries being received by the De-
partment of Labor as to the $4,000
100000 building program of the de-
partment center chiefly on informa-
ton as TO how prospective builders
can get government assistance for
construction projects. State and mu-
nicipal governments. according to late
reports reaching the department. are
making Roadway with construction
public work adjacent to Industrial
centers.
Officials of the department feel that
the growth of the labor surplus in
this country indicates the prudence
of opening up construction work
wherever it can be begun with rea-
sonable dispatch Programs which
necessitate long delays for legisla-
ton or plans, and bond sales, will not
assist in meeting the immediate sit
uation, it is held, although the fact
that they are contemplated and are
getting under way VIII tend to
strengthen confidence.
AsCpOIto ICdthAh6 liz NSPoA ehtCAt
during the last few days reflect a
more optimistic attitude toward the
immediate future of the building in
dustry. Officials believe that state
ments made by Secretary of Commerce
RedfieId and Secretary of the Treas
ury Glass, in which the former gave
positive assurance of the determine
ton of the government to go into the
price situation and Secretary Glass
suggested there was no reason why
necessary building projects should be
delayed longer, are exerting a helpful
influence. Another favorable factor
to early resumption OF building is the
Senate's action in providing way
for an early settlement by the govern
ment on war contracts, both verbal
and written.

since the mines and the mills of Eng

to domestic needs Before the war
very little coal-less than half mil
lion tons a year-was supplied by the
United States to Italy, excepting, OF
course, bunker coal supplied to Ital
ian steamers calling at these ports or
taken to Italy for steamers belonging
to owners whose vessels ply between
Italy and the United States. Before
the war Great Britain used to send
nearly twelve million tons of coal to
Italy each year. but. as stated. this

it is natural that the United States

The same considerations apply to
steel. and it is known that. although
many Italian war orders had been
been substituted other large orders
for steel to be used in the Industrial
reconstruction of Italy.
In the matter of foodstuffs, it is ex-
pected that the shipment of enormous
quantities of common grades OF pink
Alaska salmon to Italy will be con-
tinued, a staple which, before the war,
was not widely known in Italy, but
became of general use during the
war. owing to the fact that scarcity
by the Italian government made the
packing of funny fish a costly and
limited operation. Compared with
funny fish, canned pink Alaska SAL
mon. in normal times, is cheap, not
withstanding the cost of transporta-
it will become one of the staple foods
of the Italian working classes. espe-
cia1ly in northern Italy, where sea
fish is dearer than in any other part
of the country.
With a new era beginning for the
economic life of Italy and the awak-
eniug of the agricultural classes which
the war threw into very close contact
with industrial classes, and the clam
oring of the people for internal colon
liza ton first, it Is expected that the
old agricultural systems will soon
give way to modern methods and the
use Of agricultural machinery. which

tend to all the other regions of the
