plots now coming TO light. | am not
sure that there is such a personality.
But If there is we will get him. The

drawing closer to other principals in

Prohibition Commissioner Kramer,
with this comment of the booze
fraud disclosures at New York and
elsewhere, expressed himself graft
running down some of the ring lead

whiskey by illegal methods.
What Commissioner Kramer is de-
voting his attention TO personally is
the charge of graft" among Govern

of the Treasury.
Il am deeply concerned, and to
some extent alarmed by these charges,

RESIGNS TOPUSH
WORLD LANGUAGE
Or. r. G. CottreIl Leaves Bureau
of Mines to Further Inter-
national Plan.

An international language Will do
more to cement the friendship OF ma
tons and help bring about universal
peace than any league of nations
each speaking a different tongue.
This is the contention OF DR.. +. q.
Cottrell. who has resigned from the
position OF director OF the Bureau Of
Mines. to take up work with the
National Research Council.
DR.. Cottrell In his resignation gives
as his reason for leaving the Govern

chairmanship of the division OF
chemistry and chemical technology OF
the research council.
His friends say that while this Is
true the real compelling reason Off
his leaving the Government =, rviCc
Is the object OF helping establish
firmly an International language. DR..
Cottrell is also chairman of the COM
mittee on international Auxiliary
language of the international Res
search Council.
From a sociological standpoint. one
OF the important features OF the sub

been from this class that there has
come to the movement not only Tho

claims.
THE war and the consequences fol-
lowing its train have greatly spread
and defined this interest pmong the

"and at the same time have rairied

Unless the building contractors Of
New Jersey begin to construct dwell

soon, the Building Trades unions, rep
resented at convention of the New

said one of the delegates at the con-

"The time is not yet ripe for wage
parings. Rent and other factors that
enter into the cost of living must show
more substantial reduction. While it
is true some things have come down
in prices. the decrease is slight, and
rents, generally speaking. are still at
the peak. Nevertheless, many en-
ployers want to cut wages 10, 20. 20

KEEP PACE WITH POPULATION
From 1915 TO 1918 Juvenile Employ
ment Was at Its Height, Because Of
Foreign Orders for War Goods--
Laws Are Being Enforced.

IN 1920, according TO figures made
public by the United States Depart
ment of Labor, through Its children's
bureau, 1911 children took out per
mits TO go to work In II representa-
tive American cities. In 1913 the
number of children receiving permits
In the same cities was only 67,160,
indicating an increase of over ID per
cent between 1913 and 1920. while the
increase In population of these cities
was estimated TO be IA per cent.
These cities are Baltimore. Bridge
port, Buffalo, Manchester, Minneapo-
lis, New Haven, New Orleans New
York, Rochester, ST. Louis, Toledo
and Waterbury. More children re-
ceived permits In 1920 than in any 9TH
er year since 1913, except 1913. when
war production was at its height.
The year 1913 saw the peak" In
the steady rise of child employment,
which began In 1914 as soon as the
effect of foreign orders for war goods
made itself felt In this country. OF
% cities for which figures are avail
able for both years, all except one
showed an increase In 1916 over 1918,
ranging from II per cent In the case
of Baltimore to 167 per cent In the
case of Toledo. In 1917 nineteen, and
In 1913 twenty-four, out of twenty
eight cities furnishing information re-
ported increases over the preceding
year in the number of children taking
out employment certificates. In 1919
a decrease occurred in twenty-five out
of twenty-nlne cities. In 1920, how
ever, increases were again recorded
In eighteen out of twenty-nine cities.
The increase In 1920, said to be due
to the increased cost of living and to
labor shortage, was confined to the
first half or three-quarters of the
year. During the last half of the
year only nine cities out of the TWEEN
ty-six for which figures could be Sc
cured showed an increase in the num-
Der of children receiving work per-
mits.
The children's bureau calls atten-
ton to the fact that In some cities
better enforcement of the law requir-
Ing employment certificates accounts
for increases in the number of per-
mits issued, and states that, while In
the y cities for which figures are
available for theperiod 1913-1920 1.-THE
number of children taking out certi-
ticates has increased in proportion to
the increase In population, it cannot
be stated positively, any more than
1t can be denied, that the number of
children actually going to work in
1920 increased In like proportion over
the number going to work In 1913"

ElGHT-HoyR DAY TEMPORARY
President Of Youngstown Sheet and
Tube Company Explains Reasons
Leading to lts Adoption.

Explaining the Introduction OF the
universal eight-hour day into the
plants Of the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube company, President James a.
Campbell says:
when We reduced wages early in
February we expected that by this
time business would have improved
so that we could operate our plant
without any change of hours. When
We found during the month Of April
that business didn't improve. but IL
anything grew worse, we decided that
we could not be paying part of our
men overtime while the others were
walking the streets without employ
ment.
Therefore we decided to put all de-
partments on an eight-hour basis !:
First. because 1t would more evenly
divide up the work among our en-
ployees; and, second. because II would
reduce our labor costs to some extent
by making 1t unnecessary TO pay time
and half for all over eight hours.
We lost money In March and April,
and for this reason Ii was necessary
for us TO operate as economically as
possible. This Is only temporary
arrangement, and as soon as business
Will Justify 1t, or we have business
enough TO operate our plant on the
old basis of hours. we expect to go
back to that arrangement.
