NOT CHILD LABOR

The national child labor committee
has long been fighting to abolish child
labor and to provide play for children,
but it has nothing against a modicum
of work for them. In fact, it advo-
Gates this as entirely desirable and
wholesome. The three principal SUBJ
stitutes for child labor are schooling,
play and suitable work.
This committee holds that children
have work needs as well as play needs,
and these should be served by the
home as we'll as the school. Children
ought to do certain amount of work
outside of school for the sake of their
own development. But it makes a
vast difference whether this work is
regarded from the standpoint of in
dustry of from that of the child's
good. This committee further points
out that if one values the work OF
children from the industrial point OF
view alone, then child labor is the
result. The work done by children
should be largely for their own ben.
eft.
The belief that children should
never be called on to do any work
outside of school is responsible fol-
not little vagrancy and juvenile de-
linquency Invaluable discipline ane
education come to the boy who works
on the farm or in the shop with his
father An intimate companionshil
springs up between them as they shar,
in common tasks according to theil
strength The same is true of tn,
daughter in the home. She loses par
of her heritage if she never compan
ions with and helps her mother il
home work
There is too much child labor, bu
not enough children's work, this com
mittee maintains. This is particular,
true of the urban home, where ther
are few chores or odd jobs to d
| around the house. A little time givel
each day or week by the child to tn
garden, or to taking out ashes, wipin,
dishes, moving the lawn, or sweepin,
the porch and sidewalks, forms an i'm
| portant element in education To b
of most value such work should b
regular, SO that it may challenge tn
sense of possibility. To develo
the child through reasonable amour
of work outside of school is almos
as important as to provide him op
portunity to play, or to abolish chill
| labor.

FAMOUS ANTI
UNION
Attorney to Aid Pressmen
SecessiOnists

New York.-Franklin Union No. 23,
seceeders from the International
Printing Pressmen and Assistants
Union, has started court proceedings
against this international and has
employed Walter Gordon Merritt as
attorney.
Merritt has been involved in every
prominent law suit against trade
unions. He is attorney for the anti
boycott association, which changed its
name to league for industrial rights
shortly after the proposed world
treaty included a plan to boycott ma
tions that would not accept it's de-
cisions
Merritt opposed the hatters in the
Danbury hatters' case, the machinists
in the Duplex case, the carpenters in
the Paine lumber case, and other
cases before the United States su-
preme court.
The printing press secessionists
now secure Merritt to aid them in
their fight against international Of
ficers who, together with other print
ing trade union executives, are direct
ing the fight to make employers live
up to their 44hour contract, made
two years ago.

liberty is trifled with. Future histor-

served credit for a single-handed fight

CAN ENJOIN WORK ERS, BUT
NOT PRIZE FIGHTERS

A Newark, N. j., court of chancery
refused TO issue an injunction against
two champion prize fighters on the
ground that it has no jurisdiction over
possible future violations of criminal
law The court held to the original
purpose of the injunction writ-that
it cannot be issued where complainant
has other remedies at law.
This same court, however, over
looks injunction limitations when
strikers are involved. In the prize
fighters case, the court was asked to
stop a possible violation of criminal
law. This was refused. In the case
of the workers, the court is asked to
prohibit acts that are lawful if done
by other groups of citizens or when
no strike exists, and to even deny
constitutional guarantees. The court
grants this request:
The New Jersey criminal code COW
ers assault, intimidation, rioting, de-
struction of property-and prize
fights. When criminal law is violated,
provision is made for the arrest of the
offender, who is assumed to be inno-
cent until proven guilty. He is per-
mitted to face his accusers and is
tried by jury of his peers. After
centuries of experience this system
has proven the most effective yet de-
vised to protect the individuals rights.
In a labor dispute, however, the
employer secures an injunction on any
charge he sees fit to make. The wild
er his claim the quicker he secures
court aid to break the strike. The
order is issued on his statement and
strikers are arrested when he in

JUST ANOTHER INSTANCE

Another instance of what can be
done when representatives of con-
tending forces of any controversy sit
.around the table" and discuss the
situation is about to be brought to
the fore in the Irish situation. 1t
is earnestly being hoped in every
nook of the whole civilized world that
peace and Justice will result for Ire
land from the meetings now being
held in London in which representa-
tives from Ireland and England are
taking part. Getting together, sit
ting around the table," and adjusting
matters is whole lot better than
killing men. women and children and
locking many of them up in prisons.
And so it is with labor troubles.
How easy, and how much better when
both sides "sit around the table" dis
cuss matters and adjust grievances
rather than to stubbornly refuse to
meet each other, cause long drawn out
strikes, which mean much suffering
and misery to the workers and losses
of much money to the employers. Get
together, "sit around the table" anc
talk it over when the occasion arises
is always the best and easiest way

forms the court that the Injunction
is violated. The court orders the
strikers arrest and commands them
to show cause why they should not
be punished-they are assumed to
be guilty until they prove their inno-
cence with the judge acting as law
maker, law enforcer and law execu-
toner. The labor injunction upsets
the theory that our government is
composed of three branches--legisla-
tive, executive and judicial. The in
junction judge is three in one, with
no appeal from his edict.
The Newark incident is vivid pic
ture 1t reveals in sharp colors the
inequity of labor injunction. If that
Judge enjoined these prize fighters on
the ground that they contemplated
violation of criminal law, his fellow
injunction judges would join in the
boots that would drive him from the
bench. Our "molders of public opin-
ion" would be enraged at this usurpa
ton of rights possessed by the law
making and executive branches of
government.
But when trade unionists protest
against this vicious process, that is
only applied to them, and that has
been invented by dollar guardians,
they are charged with demanding ex-
emption from law

OUR PRESS

If there is any doubt in the mind
of any working man or woman, as to
whether or not the newspapers and
magazines other than the labor pub
lications are controlled by the en-
ploying class, just consider:
The price of newspaper will not
more than pay for the blank paper
upon which it is printed The cost
of paper being but one of the hun
dred items of expense of publishing,
it necessarily follows that the remain
ing revenue must come from the ad-
vertising matter. Who are the ad-
vertisers Not the working people
surely. They are for almost entirely
employers of labor.
A newspaper, like any other organ,
must serve its constituents, if it is to
survive, and right royalty they are
served upon the editorial and other
pages. Why working men and women
will support the enemy's sheets in
preference to their own, is the hard
est problem in psychology ever pre-
sented to the human race.
1t is true that our labor papers are
not so large and complete as they
should be, but the fault is entirely
ours. With half the support deserv-
ed, our papers and periodicals, would
inside of one year, become the great
est truthful news-vending agency in
the world.

COURTS TRIFLE WITH LIBERTY
WEAKEN AMERICANISM


In upholding a wage decision by
| the Kansas "can't-strike" court, the
supreme court of that state said:
"The wages paid employees in a
packing house are a matter of
| public concern, and the determi-
nation of the suffciency of such
wages is question affected with
with the public interest"
Logically and unescapably, the
courts ruling leads to one of two
1 conclusions-eit salaries and in
comes of all persons connected with
! the packing industry are affected with
! the public interest and can be lessen
{! ed or increased by the court, or wage
earners are chattels, subject to the
laws of trade.
{! II the court accepts the first con-
{, clusion, it abandons American tradi-
/ tions and guarantees and embraces
] government interference with the in
dividual, as did England in the middle
ages If the second conclusion is ac-
cepted the court not only abandons
Americanism, but it places wage earn
ers in class by themselves, which
even injunction judges deny-in the
ory, but accept in practice
To men who grasp the meaning of
liberty there is no difference between
a court sitting in judgment on wages
paid packing house employees and
passing judgment on the living costs
of meat packers, the salaries of their
managers, or the fees of their law
yers. But the "can't-strike" advocate
sees difference, though he dare not
confess it. To him the worker is the
same as in the days of feudalism and
those of Rome. To him the worker
must "be put in his place" And to
create shallow public opinion to sup
port their purpose these feudalists
use such terms as "open shop" "free
and independent workers" and "the
American plan"
During the last century workers
forced the annulment of conspiracy
laws, but today they face the same
opposition, known as labor injunc-
tions, company unions" and "can't-
strike" laws. In each of these in
stitutions autocracy creeps through
every seam and joint.
There can be no middle ground in
labor's fight for the declaration Of
independence and the federal consti-
tuition. There can be no substitute for
these immortal truths or evasion of
historic guarantees. The Kansas su-
preme court indicates the measure Of
the judiciary's willingness to rule and

JASON MOVIN' EN- ALONG

MASON MOVIN' EN- ALONG
The improving of Pleasant avenue
is progressing nicely and soon the
question will be being asked, why
couldn't this have been done years
ago?" But like all big improvements
in Hamilton, it seems that they must
first have years of agitation before
accomplishment and like before stated,
after completion and the public real
ICES their advantages, we wonder why
they were not made long ago. We
might add regarding the Pleasant
avenue improvement, much credit is
due service director William F. Mason
for its elimination. Just as soon as
he got behind the thing there seemed
to be something doin'. When he said
go ahead and pave whether the street
car company moves its tracks to the
center or not, the company acted as
though some one sprinkled galvanic
fluid over it. 1t got busy, and we
know the result. Other instances too
might be pointed out where improve
ments are noted, such as street and
alley repairs and the garbage service
is now the best in the city's history
All due, we might say, to the activi-
ties of the service director. Keep up
the good work, Mr.. Mason; give the
public action-it likes it.

ACTRESS TELLS WHY
AMATEUR DRAMATICS
MAKE A GOOD HOBBY
By Our Cub Reporter

Pretty little Miss Helen Hayes,
the clever leading lady (who isn't
much older than you who read this,
being yet in her 'teens) of the
comedy, Bah" now holding forth
at a Chicago theater, perched on
chair at her dressing table and be-
gan:
Amateur Jramatics," said she,
care beneficial 10 most any young
person. whether he aspires to the
stage or not.
In the first place, it is well, I
think, for every one TO know how
10 speak before a large audience.
Perhaps one knows how, but hasn't
the confidence in himself Where,
tell me, is a better place TO gain this
confidence than on the amateur
stage?
TO those who want to become
actors / suppose the fact that
amateur dramatics afford an excel
lent opportunity to discover and de-
velop talent, is most important.
There is no better place, in my
opinion, to get early training for the
theater than on the amateur stage.
Frequently, theatrical managers
will slip into the audience at an
amateur performance, to spot new
talent Why at one performance
given by the Hasty Pudding Club
of Harvard there were three man
ayers in the audience. So you see
by taking part in club or school the
Stricals one may be making the
very opportunity he has been wait
ing for, to get a place on the pro-
fessional stage"
That, by the way, is how Miss
Hayes "broke in" At the age of
six she took part in an amateur en-
tertainment held in Washington,
ID. c, her home town. Lew Fields,
the comedian, discovered" her.
Soon she was taking parts on the
professional stage-and now look
at her!
and you know" continued Miss
Hayes (who isn't a bit fuffed up
over her success), defects in
PERSONS voice are often noticed for
the first time when he speaks be-
fore an audience-much to his en-
barrassment. Amateur dramatic re-
hearsals will soon tell whether or
not your voice is off color, and you
will then be able 10 correct It.
But besides all this there is the
fact that it's real fun to take part
in an amateur play. | know, I've
