STRICTER SCHOOL
LAW URGED, FIGHT
CHILD-LABOR EVIL

Washington, June 4.-Miss Julia
Lathrop, chief of the children's bu-
reau; Louis Brownlow, chairman OF
the board of commissioners of the
District of Columbia; DR.. Dorothy
Reed Mendenhall, of the children's
bureau; DR.. Radmila Lazarevitch Mil
achevitch, Of Serbia, and DR.. Taxa
yuld Manage of Japan, delegates to
the international child welfare con
ference, spoke last evening at one in
the series of reconstruction confer
ences being conducted by the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage as
sociation.
Miss Lathrop urged stricter school
laws to combat child labor. She
said: "Of the 100000 children un-
der 10 years old gainfully employed
less than 100000 are in occupations
controlled by the child labor law.
Three-fourths Of the children in the
country are employed in agricultural
work. Their only legal protection
is the school attendance laws, many
of which are inadequate and poorly
enforced. State and federal reports
on rural schools are filled with de-
scrlptions of short terms, poor school
houses and underpaid teachers. In
England the root of rural child labor
has been cut by the new education
act, which provides that all children
up to IA years old shall go to school
for the full term. The United States
could secure the same result by in
voking the method of joint state ano
federal contributions now employed
to promote vocational education. TC
make it possible for children to re
main at school, scholarships shoulc
be established to pay at least par
of the wages the children might be
earning.

ing the work of the alien property
custodian's office.
"When the enemy character of per
sons rests solely upon their resi-
dence it will be seen by change Of
residence into non-enemy territory,
they lose their enemy character.
The attorney general has adopted a
liberal Interpretation of the fact,
which permits such persons when
they lost their enemy character to
be treated as if they had always been
non-enemy persons and to have their
property returned upon a proper
showing of loyalty"
American citizens who lost their
property in Germany will be allowed
in the opinion of the attorney gen
eral. to present claims to this gov
ernment, which will see that they
are reimbursed from German hold
ings. He said that would be much
letter than turning back to Germans,
for he foresaw that the Germans
would not be welcome as business
men upon an American soil within
the next decade at least.

Only routine matters were discuss
and no date was set for public hear
ings on the petitions. The next meet.
ing of the Public Utilities Commits

Opponents OF the straight 7-cent

growth of suburban sections OF
Washington will be checked by the
granting OF the increased fare on
the three subsidiary lines of the W.
r. & City and Suburban, Wash
ington Interurban, and George town

.SUNDRY CIVIL VETO
|. DELAYS CLERK PAY

! Government employees in Washing
ton affected by the veto OF the sundry
civil bill remain unpaid. Inquiries
/ this morning at the different bureaus
/ in which employees depend upon the
| passage OF the bill for their salaries
/ revealed the fact that nothing has
| been done to tide the employees over
/ the period until the bill which pro.
vides for their pay again comes up
( for the Presidents signature.
In one District institution the sal
aries OF some OF the employees have
been paid out OF funds belonging to
! the institution. In this way the suf
fering of some OF the lower apid in
dividusls, who received checks twice
monthly. has been alleviated
approximately 4JO persons in the
office OF the alien property custodian
remain unpaid because Of the failure
OF the sundry civil bill 10 receive the
Presidents signature. But these en-
ployes count themselves very fortu-
nate. They only received their June
checks a few days ago. and though
most OF IL went in paying June bills.
there is some left over for the pres
ent emergency.
II was stated this morning upon in
quiry as to the effects OF the failure
TO receive their salaries that the un-
paid war workers will suffer more
from embarrassment than from actual
want or hardship. Many Of the work
ers. il is said. are unable to meet
their bills, but landlords are willing
to wait for the final passage Of the
bill.
There was a rumor current among
the department workers this morning
to the effect that last years appro-
priAtion bill would be extended TO
meet the salaries OF the workers un
til this years bill pasFes. But this, IL
is thought. is very improbable.

DECISION IN
WOOD CASE AUG. |

The decision in the case Of Miss
Alice Wood. the Western High School
teacher suspended for alleged defense
of Bolshevism. is expected on or about
August /. Paul E. Lesh. Miss Woods
attorney, stated today.
Justice Hitz. OF the District Supreme
Court, who heard the case OF Miss
Wood versus the Board OF Education,
in which Miss Wood asked that the
order suspending her be rescinded. is
now in the White mountains on his
vacation. He expects to return the
latter part of the month.
BY its action in suspending Miss
Wood without hearing, the Board Of
Education established precedent
which the teachers declare will work
immeasurable harm to the public
school system OF the District II it is
upheld by the District Supreme Court
Provided the boards action is sus-
tanned, the school officials in the
future may summarily suspend any
public school teacher in Washington,
upon complaint. without permitting
her to state her side OF the case. Such
action, teachers say, will prove disas-
trous to discipline and efficiency and
will lower the standard OF education.
Attorney Lesh. Miss Wood. Miss
Alice Deal, president Of the High
School Teachers Union. and others in
terested in the controversy are con-
fdent. however, that the case will be
cleared up by Justice Hitz to the
satisfaction Of the teachers.
DR.. John Van SchaiCk. jr.. president
of the Board OF Education. whose
election to the presidency Of the board
this month was hailed with satisfac-
ton by the teachers, the Parents
League, and organized labor. is known
to favor the teachers cause. and il
is considered possible that he will do
all in his power TO make the teachers
lot better in case Miss Woods petit
ton is denied.

Low PAID WORKERS
GET INNING TODAY
Will Be Heard in Protest
Against Amendment Rob-
bing Them of Bonus.

The lowest paid employees Of Uncle
Sam will again have their inning to-
day. when the House resumes con-
sideration OF the Nolan minimum
wage bill
Congressman John !. Nolan, author
OF the measure, plans to ask the
House to recede from its action of
last week in favoring the amend
ment by Congressman Good which
would deprive those affected of a por-
ton OF the S24O bonus
Many members Of the House who
voted for the Good amendment did so
under a misunderstanding of its real
effect. they say. Since the bill was
considered last week, several mem
bers have called on Mr.. Nolan for
more light on the measure and they
have promised to vote for the bonus
when il again is considered.
Luther c. Steward, president OF the
Federation of Federal Employees. yes
terday headed a delegation OF six
teen members of the federation, and
a canvass Of members OF the House
was made. The delegation urged the
elimination OF the Good amendment
After the operation OF the amend
ment was explained to the members,
Mr.. Steward said last night, senti-
ment seemed to be against it.
The Good amendment would de-
prive those receiving 5000 to 5000
year Of a part Of the $40 bonus, but
would not affect those receiving
more than 5000. IT is pointed out
that those in the lower grades stand
most in need OF the bonus to meet
the high cost of living, particularly
in Washington.

LIVING COST
PROBE IN D. c,
Promise to Support Senate
Committee in Effort to Fix
Blame for High Prices.

Government employees in Washing
ton, represented by the National Fed
GRAFTON of Federal Employees. will
work with the Senate subcommittee
IN its investigation OF the cost of liv-
ng in the District. The federation
stands ready to take any steps which
will disclose the actual facts Of living

II is probable representatives. OF
he federation will shortly call upon
Senator Sherman to lay before him
heir plan to assist the Senate COM
nittee in its task.
Two Methods Suggested.
Two methods were suggested today
; being available for the clerks to
resent their side OF the case.
Federal employees of the different
ay grades may be summoned to tes-
ify before the committee as to what
costs them to live in Washington.
The federation can submit to the
committee the results Of its own pri.
vate observations as to the steady in
crease of prices here. These facts are
gathered from individual reports of
profiteering and high rents which
htNp tic Pog Vi NAAC EONCIh-
ment worker spent even before he
earns il.
The federation will help in every
possible way" said Luther c. Steward,
president of the organization. 1--WE
realize this is a matter that vitality

Der of the organization. whether the
member resides in Washington or not.

"If the committee finds out that the
cost OF living here can be reduced its
method OF forcing that reduction will
be OF interest to every member OF the
AS soon as the Nolan minimum
wage bill is finally settled in Con-
gress, the federation will devote
more attention to the matters which
come under the attention Of the Sen
ate subcommittee. Senator Sherman
has made it plain that the committee
wants to get all the facts possible re-
garding living costs in the Capital.
Already many agencies have offered
their help. The federation of clerks,
with its limitless opportunity for
private reports from the clerks them
selves as to living costs, can doubt
less supply the committee with much
information, officials said to-
lay.
