CRIES
END CHILD LABOR!

The following editorial is printed
in the Woman's Label League Jour
nal, organ of the Woman's Inter
national Trades Union League and
Trades Union Auxiliary;
One of the most pressing duties
Of Congress is to enact a law for
bidding child labor which shall meet
the objections which caused the Su-
preme Court to declare the old law
unconstitutional.
Awaiting themselves of the Su-
preme Courts decree, hundreds of
employers have put children to work
within the last six months. Gradu-
ally conditions are becoming as bad
as they were before The law was
passed.
Such state of fairs is a re-
proach to nation which has just
fought and won a war to free hui
mainly, Child labor is child slav-
cry, nothing more. Indeed. it is in
some respects worse than slavery.
In the slave days the slave own
er cared for his human chattels,
knowing them to be valuable prop
orty. The child SLAYER knows that
his little slaves will not live very
long anyway, so he works them as
hard as possible while they are in
his power
There is no work, not even the
work Of reconstruction of industries
to meet peace conditions, which is
more important than that of free
ing American children from this in
tolerable form Of peonage.
AS long as little children are per
mitted to toll in factories, stunting
minds and bodies, that a few greedy
employers may be enriched, we have
no right to call ours a free coun-
try.
There has recently been inaugural
I'd in Washington a movement to re-
ourn to school thousands of children
who have been drawn into industry
Turing the war emergency
This movement deserves earnest
end energetic support.
The first war workers to be re-
leased should be children of school
are, and once they are released there
should be an investigation to see how
children of school age ever got into
war work.
Never has labor been so scarce
N this country, never has even the
war emergency been so great, that
It was necessary to call upon school
hildren to work in factories.
But this movement, excellent as it
s, is but temporary in its scope.
What the country imperatively
needs is law that shall be proof
against the legal technicalities or
sordid manufacturers, a law that
viii stand every test and cure the
evils Of child labor forever.
Unfortunately there are still in
Congress men who defend child |
slavers and uphold child labor.
Child labor is born of criminal
avarice, and thrives by the protec-
ion Of rascals, in or or out of of
flee
Congress can stop it. The Su-
rene Court has made it clear that
, properly drawn child labor law
will stand 1t will be to the ever
asting credit of the present Con-
gress if it concludes it's splendid
work. in helping the President to
rec humanity on the other side of
he water by passing bill which
brewer frees American children from
he merciless grip of their captors
and eXploiters.

A3OR STANDARDS
AT THE PEACE TABLE
United States Called Upon to Adopt
Social Insurance Measures Equal
to Minimum Protection for Work
ers in Allied Countries.

In advance of the peace confer
cnce, Chairman E. M. Hurley of the
United States Shipping Board, in
Europe, is endeavoring to bring
about an agreement among the
great maritime nations for the
standardization Of wages and work
ing conditions Of seamen. Americas
advanced laws and standards for
the protection of seamen, which
include insurance benefits, will be
urged for universal adoption.
This announcement from Wash
irgton is being received with more
Jhan ordinary interest, as giving
official significance to the movement
to the movement in allied countries,
/ growing out Of the war, for inter
national uniformity of legislation
to safeguard the health and eff
eiancy Of workers.
In the midst Of the war several
international labor conferences have
insisted that number of protec-
tive labor standards be embodied in
he peace treaty-a request formu-
AGED by representative workmen in
France.
That all countries agree to estab-
ish minimum standards of social in
sufance protection was prominently
mgad at these conferences and en-
lonsad by labor representatives of
all the principal European countries,

issued by the American Association

Quoted by Miss Marie Ames of
st. Louis, in the council room of
the city hall, the 18th and 18th
of this month, was a decided
success. Miss Ames, a national
worker and field worker for Mis-
sohri, is a brilliant woman and
thoroughly informed on public
questions and methods of pro-
cedure. Her account of the man
ner in which the bill was put
through the Missouri legislature,
giving women the right of Pres
idential Suffrage was thrilling
and dramatic. The mock election
held was very instructive. In
teresting and educational talks
were given by Mr.. B. M. Little,
Judge S. N. Wilson, and Capt. l..
B. Wykoff The only regret was
that more of our women were
not able to attend.

With Same Score 2 to /.
The Lexington and Richmond
baseball teams duplicated their
performance of a week ago last
Sunday, by playing another fif-
teen inning 2 to l game, with
Lexington on the long end "a
gain. The game was not quite as
exciting as the former one, but
nevertheless was a very nice
game to watch-for the Lexing-
ton fans.
Campbell, who struck out
twenty-three of the local boys
in the first game, came back and
struck out seventeen, allowed
five hits, and passed six.
Cross, who heaves for Lex
ington, allowed eight hits, one
of which was a home run by
Helm, the visitors third base
man, and hit one batter.

taken before Justice of the
Peace C. C. Wright. He acknowl-
edged the corn" and offered to
make restitution to the last pen
ny. This privilege was granted
him and on payment of $120.05,
the total amount of the several
checks plus all costs, the charg-

What makes matters infinitely
worse is the headlong speed
with which all our blatherskites
and even some of our wiser peo-
pie are backing all sorts of caus-
es in words when we have no in
tention at all Of backing them
with deeds. The welcome given
to Valera, noticeably in Chicago,
the passing of resolutions by the
Federation Of Labor, the advO-
cacy of the Sim Fein movement
by all sorts of responsible per-
sons is the sort of thing that
real patriots should detest. 1t
leads the Sim Feiners to harbor
hopes which are sure to be dis
appointed because no one of the
Sim Fein hackers intends that
America should fight England on
behalf of Valera's straw Repub-
lie. These people are fostering
rebellion in friendly countries by
holding out false hopes. A bad
policy for all concerned. And
what about the great anxiety of
Senators Lodge and Borah and
Norris to protect China's rights
in Shantung? When did we get
this feeling for China? Has not
Germany enjoyed precisely these
same rights in Shantung for
twenty years without our pro-
test? Did not Japan take pre-
cisely similar rights from Rus
sia in the Manchuran war, thus
gaining Port Arthur and the
Manchurian railway, which were
Russian interests just as Kiao-
Chau and the Shantung railway
are German interests? Did we
protest then? What were Lodge
and Borah and Norris and John
son thinking about at that time?
The trouble is that they have
got the Wilsonian trick of tri-
fling with facts. The japanese
have not got Shantung nor have
$4,000, 900 Chinese been present
ed to them as a gift" or as q
"bribe." Shantung is still Chi
nese. All that Japan has got is
harbOr and a railroad built by
Germans with German money.
These things are German prop
erty Just as the ships we took
over in our harbors were Ger
man property. Apparently we
don't intend to hand back the
ships. Why should Japan hand
back her German property? :?
These sad walls in the Senate
are out of date. China agreed to
cede the German concessions in
Shantung to Japan more than
three years ago. After that the
Lansing-Ishii agreement was
signed by us recognizing Japan's
special position in China. Why
all these tears now? Or are
they, as Senator Hitchcock says
only crocodile tears--Metropol-
Titan.
