CHILD LABOR LAW
 WILL BE ENFORCED
Miss Nila F. Allen of Child Labor Division Calls Upon Con- ~
 necticut Officials.

Following a visit of Miss Ni1a F. Allen of the child labor division of the ipkernal revenue bureau at Washing ton, who explained the policy of the bureau relative to the internal revenue law, requiring 10 per cent. tax on the profits of industrial plants employing children, Collector James J. Walsh >an- ncunces that he will strictly enforce the law. Miss Allen is visiting tie dis tricts in New England for the purpose of discussing the matter.
 The law provides that those employ ing children under A years old, or children between IA and 16 years o1d more than eight hours day and more than six days a week, and before a. m. or after 7 p. m. must make a state ment to that effect, and upon receipt of a notification of the tax due the taxes must be remitted to the collector within 30 days after receiving the notice. Those subject to the tax are mines, quarries, and cannery workshop and manufacturing plants.
 The first taxable year under the new law will be from May 24 to December of this year, and deputies are author ized to make inspections to insure en- fOrcement of the law. Cards are being sent out in an effort to warn against violating the provisions of the law and if there is any doubt as to the correct ness of the returns submitted to the office of the internal revenue bureau, the firm or individual filing the returns may be called upon to prove the truth of the statements made. To protect employers against the possibility of be- ing misinformed as to the ages of chi1- dren, cards are provided, on which will be secured information as to the birth, age, school and other records of the en- D10vee

HARTFORD CARPENTERS
 WORKING IN HARMONY
Union Men Exclusively Employ ed on Big Buildings-Build-
 ing Trades Alliance.

Hartford, Sept 12.-George J. Ger ety, business agent of the Carpenters and Joiners' Union, said at the close of the last meeting, that the union voted an additional $1OO contribution tc the strikers from the Underwood Typewriter Company's factory i'll addi- ton to $2O0 previously donated. Other local unions, he said, are contributing large sums to the striking typewriter workers.
 All differences with Marc Eid1itz & Sons of New York have now been ad- justed, MT. Gercty said, and union men are being employed exclusively on the new Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company building on Elm street, where a strike was called some weeks ago, following the employment of non-union men. The disagreement with the Eid- litz house, MT. Gerety said, was due to the action of sub-contractor in bring ing in out-of-town non-union men, rather than to the contracting com pany, which has done a great deal of work Ill Hartford, having built the Travellers Tower and been given the contract for the new Hartford Fire In suIapce Company building.
 At present there. are about 5000 members of the six unions affiliated in the Building Trades Alliance and MT. Gerety says that there are at present no real differences with employers here and there does not appear to be any cause for future trouble Carpenters and Jo1ners are now working on union scale of $7 day, masons and brick layers on an $8 a day basis, steanft- ters are receiving $7, iron workers-are getting $7 or better, and the plumbers intend to establish the $7 wage scale soon.. The painters and paperhangers are Also members of the alliance

James Duncan, familiarly referred to by his friends as "our Jim," has been one of the bu1warks of the labor move ment. Strong in character, a splendid orator and a firm believer in his con victions, Duncan has been an imposing figure in the struggles of the labor movement for recognition. His s1edge- hammer verbal blows against all labor heresies have many times killed the propaganda of those who would desffoy the labor movement for partisan politi- cad purposes. His courage IS phenom- enal, as.he never sits silent when an at tempt is made to endanger the labor movement
 Duncan is a granite cutter. He join ed the International Granite Cutters Union in 1881 In 1895 he became its general president, and has held that office continuously since. Next |, to President Gompers he has the longest recosd of representing his union )as a delegate in American Federation of Labor conventions. His first-conyen- ton was in 1886 Tn that session he established himself as leader of men. Almost his first act was to present a resolution favorings compulsory educa- ton, principle he has vigorously sup ported ever since. ---. .> '. <, In 1894 at Denver he, was elected -second vice-president and in 1900 was made first vice-president, position he has held since continuously. One of the dangers recognized in the early days was the attempt on the part of certain men to betray the labor movement into @chimerical schemes that would interfere with trade union activity.
 e. Early in the history of the American Federation of Labon Duncan won dis tinction by his cle~erness in debate, his logical reasoning and his efforts to prevent what were termed 'ghost dancers" getting strang1ehold on the organized labor movement.
 Duncan's ability was recognized by President Gompers in 1887, when he was appointed on the constitution com mittee. But his splendid ability to an alyze propositions presented for con sideration by conventions soon made him chairman of the resolutions com mittee. After making a. report on a resolution written for an dlterior: pur- pose and the resolution committee had reported adversely 1t was his duty to explain the reason Those who have attended conventions in the last 20 years could not fail to observe that after

PLUMB PLANS
 A EFFECT UPON
 =, LIBERTY BONDS
Guarantee of Railroad Securities by Congress Would Cut
 Value of Holdings.
TRANSFER OF BILLIONS
Rise of Market Price of Stocks
 Would Sacrifice Loan, Says Glenn F. Plumb.

:. There are at present score of pro- posa1s before Congress looking to the perpetuation of financial control of the railroads under private ownership Every one of them provides for the protection of the owners by guaran- tee of returns on railroad securities.
 Two methods of assuring these re- turns are advocated. One is for the government to make up any shortage out of the nations treasury; the other would give the railroad owners power to raise rates sufficiently to assure the necessary dividends. The plans differ only in the detail of how the funds should be raised. Each is direct tax on the people. One would levy the tax by means of the governments taxation machinery. the other would operate through transportation rates and bring returns from the increased prices of commodities.
 In point of fact, the owners of rai1- road securities are asking the govern ment to guarantee returns on fictitious values The market value of railroad securities is something over thirteen billion dollars, on a face value of over eighteen billion Valuations of the Inter state Commerce Commission tend to show that the cost of duplicating the railroads would not be more than ten or eleven billions. Yet the security owners ask the government to guaran- tee them returns on approximately $2O,- 00O,000OO0, or the property investment account"
 When Glenn E.. Plumb appeared be- fore the House committee on Interstate Commerce i'll support of the Plumb plan, he raised the question of what effect governmental guarantee of diyi- dends to private owners of railroad securities would have on the Liberty bonds issued by the government itself
 Put yourself in the place of man owning 5000 worth of war bonds which he purchased at par," said Mr. Plumb He notes that there are pend ing before Congress many propositions whereby the public is asked to guarantee either in rates or returns an interest of not less than six per cent. upon $2O, 000!000,000 of outstanding railway se- curities, which now have a market value not exceeding $13,OO0,00O,OO0. He hears it claimed by those urging this guaranty that a return of not less than six per cent. will place these securities at par and provide a market where many seek ing investments can be induced to serve the public in return for the further is- suance of such securities. Such a guar arty will mean an advance in value of from S13OO00O0,00C, hneir present value, to $20 000,000,00O, their par value.

George Hamway, the son, enlisted
with the American colors when this
country went to war, and fell fighting
in the Argonne, leaving to the mother
a $1,000 government insurance policy.
The address of the mother was vague.
She lived In the heart of the desert,
four days from Damascus-that was
the only address George knew.
The task of finding the mother was
given to the Red Cross mission in Pal
estine, and the search was started i'm
mediately. Strange by-paths of that
land Of mystery-the great desert
were visited by Red Cross workers,
and at length the mother was found.
She was taken to Damascus by
camel, accompanied by witnesses es-
tablishing her identity, and after much
palaver 1t was explained that the
American government would make re-
mittances to her which meant compare
tive affluence for her declining days.

Sc0URS IN YOUNG ANIMALS
Generally Result Of Overlooking or
Use Of Unclean UtensHs-Best
TO Reduce Feed.

Scours In our animals is generally
the result Of overlooking or feeding
from unclean troughs or buckets, or
from feeding food that is stale. Milk
fed to calves should either always be
sweet, or always be sour. If 1t is one
thing one time and the other the next,
II will result in scours.
The buckets should be as carefully
scalded out as are the pals In which
the milking is done.
Musty or bin-burned grain should not
be fed, particularly TO young animals.
When the calf gets too much milk
or the young pig gets too much feed,
we have scours, possibly thumps In
the pig.
The best remedy Is to reduce the
amount of feed, clean up the troughs
and buckets, and give q good dose Of
castor oil. Two ounces is q dose for n
calf, and from a teaspoonful to des-
sertspoonful to growing pig, accord
ing to its size.
