Apprentices In New Zealand.


Trade unionists Of New Zealand are
protesting against recent child-labor
legislation that they say amounts to
virtual child slavery in that country.
Under this measure boy immigrants
from England between the ages of If
teen and nineteen may be indentured
to the occupation of farming. The
contracts may be drawn up in Great
Britain prior to emigration and need
not contain the name Of the future
employer. When the boy arrives In
New Zealand he can be assigned by
the minister for immigration. It Is
not necessary for parent or guar
dian to sign or agree to the indenture.
The act is regarded as an invitation
to boys to run away from their homes
and be smuggled to New Zealand.
They shall receive no wages for the
first II months. After II months the
wage shall be such as is usually paid
on farms to boys Of the age and ca
pacity Of the apprentice" As there Ia
no wage award In New Zealand cover
ing boy labor on farms the lads will
be at the mercy Of the employer

Mexico Bars Workers.

All foreign laborers, and particular.
ly American laborers, have been
barred from Mexico by decree is-
sued by President Obregon. The rea-
son assigned was that an influx Of
foreigners would prevent full employ
ment Of native labor during scarcity
Of work.
The decree. 1t Is understood, was
aimed more directly at the situation
in the oil fields, where there has been
an increasing use Of American work
men. but no specific reference to this
was made in the document. Excep-
tion was provided in the decree for
those who could show that they had
"sumcient sustenance and imple.
ments' for colonization or agriculture.

The aspects sof the Young Mems
Christian Association Community
work that are constantly emphasized
are: A program Of activities for the
boys Of the entire community. The
elimination Of the causes of evil con-
ditions which affect child life. The
bringing into existence and fostering
the growth and development Of those
positive forces which tend to upbuild
the individual as we'll as the commune
ity. The uniting of the Christian boys
and young men for winning others
to the Christian life, enlisting them il
service and relating them to the
Church.
To keep these fundamental planks
of the Community platform in their
proper relation is, perhaps, one Of the
most difficult tasks with which the
Association is ronted difficult be-
cause we have constantly to contend
with the individuality of the secretary,
and generally individuals possessing
real leadership have strong character
istics and marked ability along some
one line. Seldom are all the qualifica-.
tions which are SO essential embodied
in one person. Consequently the
program must not be the program Of
the secretary, but rather a group Of
men Of varied qualifications and ex-
perience cooperating with him. United
efforts will largely assure q balanced
program. Furthermore, it is possible
to be well balanced as it relates to,
activities and the elimination Of
causes, and at the same time, to be
unbalanced in that it fails to include
all four Of the fundamental institu-
tions in its field Of operation. To en-
phasize any one Of the above phases
to the neglect Of another is to retard
at the very outset the full effective
ness of Community Work.

sonable hours Of work, protection from.
