VACATION JOBS.
More Scholars Seek Work Per
mits This Year Than
Evea Before.

An increase in the number of applications
for employment certificates by children
of school age is viewed with alarm by
Charles A. Hagner, State Labor Com
missioner, in a recent report.
Six hundred such applications were
made in June, though only 179 were
granted to children who had secured en-
ployment altogether 227 such certificates
were issued during the quarter; 81 more
than for the corresponding period last
year.
The past time and summer certificates
granted during the same period numbered
la. which is % more than in 1919, though
the applcatiors were about the same
26O this wear and 266 year ago.
Textile and cigar factories are the
chief employers of girls, while most
of the bows make living by working
as errand or messenger boys. Leather
factories employed only three boys
and four girls, a majority of the leather
manufacturers refusing to take children
under sixteen years OF age. During
the last four months no permits for ship
ward work were issued to children.
Two hundred and seven children
who have passed sixteen years OF age
applied for age proofs during the pas
quarter, as compared with 462 durin,
the year 1919.

DRY CANDIDATES JOIN
IN CONCERNING HARDING
His Stand on Prohibition Fails to
Please Watkins and
Coivin.

Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-Aaron s.
Watkins of Germantown, Ohio, and d.
Leigh Colvin, Prohibition Party candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency, issued statements yesterday con-
demning the stand on prohibition taken
by Senator Harding in his speech of ac-
ceptance.
I'VE notice with regret that Senator
Harding mentions, and even emphasizes,
the fact that many dissent from the law,
and he will. if possible / think, secure
its repeal says the statement issued by
Mr. Watkins.
at is all right for Senator Harding
TO speak of law enforcement, said Mr..
Colvin's statement. ANY one would
do that. But, his broad statement about
repeal makes his stand absolutely un-
acceptable"
With the National Convention finished
and ticket placed in the field, Prohi-
bition delegates were on their way home
and the newly elected National Committee
was making its plans or the coming fight
against Democrats and Republicans.

UNITY ON TREATY
Senator King Says All Who Favor
League Can Support
Him.

Columbus. Ohio. July 24-Senator
William II hing Of Utah conferred here
cor several hours Yesterday with Gov.
James NJ Cox. At the conclusion OF
their talk Senator King announced that
m his opinion the attitude OF Governor
Cox on the League of Nations woul d
provc acceptable to AL Democrats and
10 All Republicans rs well who were not
10 be claSscd among the so-called bitter
cndcrs.
Senators johnson and Borah may
not like the governor stand, said sen
atnr King. and other destructionists
who are opposed to any league at all may
not be with hum. But while don want
To- take Il upon myself to say what the
governors attitude Is, ! am willing to
sav that his attitude rs acceptable entirely
20 me and am sure will toe acceptable to
all Of the Democratic Senators.
The attitude taken by Senator Harding
in his speech of acceptance. said Senator
King. had been construed by himself
and his friends among the Democratic
leaders as a direct reputation Of any
league at all. and pledge by Harding
tha, the party would stand for the re
,ection Of the treaty according to the
methods favored by Johnson and Borah-
Senator King added that he classed
Senator Lodge, Senator Harding, Scna-
tor Brandegee and some of the other
Republican leaders as really among the
destrictionists who from the start had
hoped that the treaty would be killed
He added that Cox's part IN this issue
would be acceptable to the west
MIR. King was one of the group who
voted for the adoption of the League OF
Nations with the Lodge Reservations
when the final ballot was taken on March
10 On former occasions he had voted
for the league without reservations and
for the Hitchcock reservations which
were acceptable 10 the President. He said
TODAY that he had voted for the League
with the Lodge reservations because he
was convinced that. bad as they were
IL was better to adopt the treaty with
them than to reject IT.
The prediction was made by Senator
King that Governor Cox would carry not
only Utah, the Senator's home state, but
California. Montana. Idaho and othel
far Western States which the Republican:
have claimed will be found on their side
OF the result IN Colorado generally ciasseC
as doubtful State, Senator hing expressed
no fear. He said that his information wa
formed on survey which he had JUS
completed In several OF the Western
States. The reaction there against tn
nomination of Senator Harding by tn
Republican Convention, he said, ha'
been severe and the Republicans wer
beginning TO Eeahze the full import O
WHIST that reaction meant.
