SAFEGUARDING THE CHILD D


How one state has developed unique
methods Of protecting her youngest
wage earners is shown In a reporc is
sued by the United States Department
OF Labor through the chjldren's bu.
reau. describing the employment-cer-
tiflcate system In Wisconsin. This
report Is the fourth Of series deal
Ing with the administration Of child
labor laws, previous reports having
summarized methods Of administration
In Connecticut, Maryland and New
York.
In Wisconsin the state Industrial
commission has control over both the
issuance Of employment certificates
and the inspection Of industrial estab.
lishments. 1t has general supervi.
sion over the officers granting work
ing permits and also has sole author
ity to appoint these officers. This
centralized authority. is strengthened
by the commissions power to interpret
legislation through its own rules and
regulations, which are legally binding.
Moreover, the commissions work Of
protecting children from illegal en-
ployment is made more strict by its
power to bring civil action, instead of
only criminal, for nearly all child
labor violations; the employer may
thus be made to testify and to produce
his records.
Children between fourteen and sew
enteen years Of age must secure per-
mits before they can enter industrial
employment, and are afforded special
protection in their work. This is a
higher age than that prevailing in
most states. All important cities and
towns In the state maintain voca-
tional schools at which part-time at
tendance Of all employed children be-
tween fourteen and seventeen years
of age is compulsory. The industrial
commission is represented on the
board of vocational education. The
apprentice laws, requiring in connec-
tion with shop experience a certain
amount of formal instruction, together
with the vocational school system,
give Wisconsin unique opportunity
for leadership in the vocational train
ing movement.
In spite Of its many advantages,
the Wisconsin law has several weak
points, the most serious being that
physical examinations OF children en-
tering industry are not required; how
ever, such examinations are now made
mandatory in the largest city, Milwau-
kee, by order of the Industrial com.
mission,
The possibility Of a child's work.
ing without a permit is reduced to a
minimum by an exceptional provision
Of the worlzmen's compensation law.
If a child Of permit age is injured
while working without a permit or
in prohibited occupation, his en-
ployer must pay three times the COM
pensation ordinarily required, and he
cannot protect himself from his addi-
tional risk through insurance.

OTHER LABOR NOTES.

Az Q sequel to the long continued
suspension Of work Ia the textile n.
dustry Of the Baden district, the
textile manufacturers decided to shut
down all the factories. This measure
affects $4,000 workers.
Cleveland members Of six. railroad
crafts affiliated with the American
Federation Of Labor at mass meet
inga pledged themselves to obey the
orders Of the railroad department Of
the federation. Machinists, boiler
makers, car repairmen, blacksmiths,
sheet-metal workers and electrical
workers attended the meeting. They
agreed not to engage in any sporadic
or local strikes and to follow implicitly
the strike program az arranged by the
union chiefs.
One of the notable things in Ger
many is the growth of the trades
unions. The General Federation Of
Labor, which includes nearly all trade
unionists, numbers something more
than 100000 members. The control
Of this organization is centralized In
Berlin. The methods Of the organiza-
tion in general have been conserva.
tive and it has been one of the great,
est forces, If not the greatest force In
all Germany in bringing about orderly
conditions in critical times.
A loss Of $267, ,469.2O was borne by
miners of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company in Colorado during the first
seven months of 1927, according to
testimony given before the state in
dustrial commission by e. H. Weitzel,
general manager of the company Mr..
Weitzel gave testimony tending to
show that the high cost of coal has
caused shutdown in the allied indus
tries Of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company. throwing seven thousand
men out of work. Mr.. Weitzel de-
clared that proposed wage reductions
for employees Of the mines would per-
nit the company's steel mill at Pueblo
to reopen; that they would make the
cost of coal lower for the public, and
would make more earnings for coal
miners, who. he said, would be able
under the reductions to work more
regularly, as coal production would be
stimulated. r9E
c. F. ,Kenney, president, and Fred
Mooney, secretary, of District II,
United Mine Workers Of America sur
rendered to Governor Morgan Of West
Virginia at Charleston. They are
charged with murder In connection
with the killing of three men in the
Tug River battle in May, 1920. They
are also uDder Indictment for murder
in Hogan county.
Average weekly earnings for all in.
dustries in Wisconsin at this time are
$23.50 per week. which is about 1851
less than the peak, which was reached
last August. ts

The latest thing in pawnshops is
one for motOrcars. Heretofore pawn
shops have been reserved for the class
that want to put up their watch or
dress suit, but now, with so many
wOrkingmen owning tlivvers, those who
are on the inside of the pawning bust
ness decided that Il similar institution
for motor cars would be had
The motorcar pawnshop is located
near Columbus Circle, in the heart of
Gasoline Row." Here, when the mo-
tor owner is short of ready money,
he may drive his "fliv" and place it
In "hock." If he fails to pay back
the loan with interest the car is sold
as second hand. All in all, it is said
to be the most profitable business for
these pioneers in the pawnbroking
line, and they always have hundred
Or more cars of all kinds and condi-
lions on hand.-New York Sun.

The famous stone COW of Alan, a

HONOR" A THING FORGOTTEN
Prussian Officer Unable to Understand
Idea of Any Obligations of
Hospitality.

a typlca. illustration of German
rule in POLAND before freedom came
to its people is given by Mrs Cecil
ChestertOn in the New Witness. The
German military authorities had is
sued a command to the people Of War
saw that they should furnish a list of
their metals and plate, from door
handles to samovars.
A German officer billeted in a Polish
household, says Mrs. Chesterton,
found himself lonely on Christmas
day. The family was keeping the fes-
tival, and the officer sent a note ask
ing if he might join the party. The
hostess was compelled to assent, and
Herr Lieut.. Grunsbach partook of a
lavish supper. 1t happened that his
hostess had kept back silver samo-
var, which, usually secreted under the
bed, on Christmas day shOne forth in
all its glory.
Some one suggested that it would
be wiser to remove the samOvar be-
fore the Herr Lieutenant entered, but
the hostess insisted that he was there
as q guest and not as an enemy, and
that even a Prussian would respect
the bread and salt. The evening fol-
lowing the party an unpleasant-look-
ing man came to the house accom-
panied by two German soldiers. He
had called to collect the samovhr that
the Herr Lieutenant had reported. MOI
only did he remove the samOvar, but
he assessed fine because the law had
been disobeyed.
Shortly afterward the officer asked
his hostess why she avoided him.
What had he done to offend her? She
could no longer restrain her indigna-
ton and told him what she thought
of him-to his profound establishment.
How could she blame him for doing
what was obviously his duty? Hos
pitality entailed no obligation to for
get ones fatherland. Germany had
need of samOvarS. What mattered
else youths Companion.
