ton, presumably in behalf of the
two imperiled men. The commit
tees statement reads in part
"The dime-novel rumors and lies
that have been swallowed by the
newspapers in Boston and elsewhere
seem to us to have been planted
as you reporters saY-by those who
want to embarrass and discredit the
entirely legal and peaceable national
defense. We understand that the
newspapers in Boston, especially
certain VIGOROUSLY sensationalist
sheets, are fighting hard for circu-
lation. We can only enter plea
that in the fight they should not sac
rifice all the principles of Justice
and square deal to the two men
awaiting death. We make the plea
in the certainty that millions of sup
porters of clean journalism, includ-
ing the greater portion of journal
lists themselves, are with us on this
proposition. We ask that the news
papers, especially in this community
apply to rumors and far-fetched
theories not alone the standard of
news value, but also that of COM
mon sense and human decency. Is
it too much to ask ?"
Reports of further demonstrations
by the workers of various countries
continue to reach America. In the
course of the last week, organized
labor of Sweden, Switzerland. Uru-
quay, Mexico, Cuba, Porto Rico and
other countries has demanded a
square deal for Sacco and Vanzetti.
At the same time resolutions con-
tinue to pour in at the office of the
committee from labor unions and
individuals in this country, asserting
their faith in the mems innocence
and pledging their support in the
fight for their vindication.
Mass demonstrations in all parts
Of the United States will express the
Indignation which American work
ers feel at the impending fate of
the Massachusetts victims. After a
conference held in New York, upon
the invitation Of the American Labor
Alliance, plans were announced
jointly by the Workers Defense
Union, the Italian Committee for De-
tense of Political Prisoners and 9TH
err organizations of that city. The
plans include special invitations to
cooperate to the American Fedora
ton of Labor, independent union
bodies, the Italian Chamber of Labor
the Industrial Workers of the World
and the Socialist Party. 1t is con-
fidently expected by the group in
charge that all these bodies will ac-
cept. Their expectation is based
upon cooperation given by these
bodies in the past for the same pur-
pose. The campaign will have its
climax in a monster mass meeting
on November 20. probably in Madi.
son Square Garden, at which the
country's greatest labor orators will
speak.

Open sessions of the Disarmament
Conference was strongly advocated
by Senator Robert l.. Owen, of Ok
lahoma, democrat, and Congressman
James A. Frear, of Wisconsin, re-
publican, at the luncheon forum of
the National Popular Government
League held at the New Ebbitt
House today.
Answering the claim that there
would be too many newspaper men

ference could not be held before a
mass meeting both upheld the
claim of William Allen White that
publicity is entirely possible" and
endorsed the essential features of
the practical plan proposed by the
American correspondents at the YER
sailes conference. This was that
each large press association be given
two reporters for each session, and
six other men chosen by lot each
day from all the others, should be
admitted, and that all the other
accredited correspondents should
have access to their copy.
Owen declared "the issues are too
vital to permit them to be settled by
intrigue and by secret bargains,

CHILD LABOR
IN COLORADO
BEET FIELDS

The conditions under which chill
dren work in the sugar-beet fields
of Colorado have been described in
statement Just issued in mlmeo-
graphed form by the United States
Department of Labor, through the
Children's Bureau. This advance
statement presents some Of the
findings of a study recently made.
No less than 1,077 children under
16 years of age were found en-
ployed in beet work in the area
studied, which included parts of
two counties. Four-fifths of the
children were under IA years of
age, over one-fourth were under the
age of 10 years, and number
had not even reached the age of 8.
A small proportion of the chill
dren belonged to the families of
the beet growers themselves, but
seven-tenths were children of the
contract laborers who, in the sec
tions studied, did the great bulk of
the work of the beet fields, and
who in this district were mainly
resident. They lived in towns near
the beet fields, moving out to the
farms in the spring and returning
to their homes after the harvest
About 70 families were those of
transient laborers, recruited by the
sugar companies. often from dis
tant parts of the country.
The rush seasons of the beet
growers year occur in the spring
when the young plants must be
thinned before they grow too large,
and in the fall when the mature
beets must be pulled from the
ground and their tops cut off be-
fore the first severe frost. 1t
was for these processes, performed
under pressure, that the children's
labor was generally utilized.
Continual STOPPING is necessary in
the thinning process, and the har
vesting involves lifting and hand
ling heavy weights. The harmful
effects of these eXertions upon the
growing child were manifested by
postural deformities and malposi
tions, which were discovered in 70I
per cent of the 1000 children eX-
amined by a physician of the Chill
dren's Bureau. The hours of work,
usually 8 or more a day and fire.
quently II, were considered to have
been even more injurious.
The educational handicap of the
beet working children was shown
by the fact that over 40 per cent
of those between the ages of 81
and 16 included in the study were
from one to seven years behind in
their grades. School records indi-
Gated that the progress of these
children was inferior by 25 to 35
per cent to that of the unemployed
children attending the same schools.
The children of the transient la
borers were particularly unfortunate
educationallv, many being taken
from school in March not to re-
turn until November. Special sum-
mer sessions had been held in some
of the towns to enable beet-work
ing children to make up school
work lost by absence. While these
schools had improved attendance
they had not been in operation
long enough, and in some cases the
course of study was not planned
carefully enough, to effect a no.
ticeable improvement in scholar
ship.

ATTEMPT TO TURN DELIVERY
OF MAIL TO CARRIER ROUTES

First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Hubert Works is asking the post
masters OF the United States to in
yestigate their general delivery SER
vice and request residents OF the
town to either have their mail de-
livered by city letter carriers or rent
lock boxes, according to Edwin j.
Kaiser, Ashland postmaster.
The general delivery service Is
not intended for permanent resi-
dents who can either have mail de-
livered or rent box
The campaign is welcomed by the
Ashland post office as the tourist
season crowds the general delivery
facilities enormously. The price If
post office lock box is only 60c
per quarter and the department re-
CARDS that as reasonable enough for
all residents who are not within the
city carrier districts. The Ashland
office is serving those concerned with
an application card for the use of
the general delivery. After these
replies have been received. arrange
ments will be made for city delivery
or post office lock boxes. The sec
tion ofipost office law governing the
point reads as follows:
'The general delivery of post Of
fices having carrier delivery service
is iatended for the use of only those
patrons who are not permanently
located or who can not. for good and
sufficient reasons. receive mail by
carrier or through a post office box
The general delivery should not he
used where II is possible to receive
mail otherwise. Persons intending
to remain for 80 days or more in
city having carrier service should
file their names and street addresses
at the post office so that their mall
may be delivered by carrier. Per-
sons. applying for mail at the gem
eral delivery wpdow.if unknown may
be required to prove their identity,
and residents OF the cities having
carrier service who call at the gen
eral delivery may be required to
furnish a statement as to name and
address and reason for calling at the
post office for mail instead OF re-
ceiying II by carrier"

LITHIA PARK TENNIS
COURT READY FOR MEET

The girls tennis class, organized
since the closing of the school year,
is making rapid strides in mas
tering the technic OF the game,
preparatory TO taking part in the
tennis tournament to be held at
the Lithia Park tennis grounds
in July, according to members of
the committee promoting the in
terests of racket enthusiasts The
girls are practicing in Lithia Park
Tuesday and Friday evenings CT
each week. The court is filled to
capacity at each class meeting
and the numbers in attendance
are increasing at every practice
game.
Owing to the small attendance
at Wednesdays meeting OF posi-
BILE participants in the coming
tournament at meeting held last
Wednesday plans of fixing up the
Lithia Park tennis courts made
for yesterday were deferred uhtil
nevXt week when larger attend
ance may be expected. That a
larger number were not present
at the meeting is thought to be
because tennis players were not
aware of the program being car
ried out to improve the court. The
boys are expected to attend next
weeks meeting with shovels and
to be prepared to shovel dirt and
repair the court, which suffered
for lack of care during the winter
months.
If the boys do not turn out for
the work in sufficient numbers ii
Is thought that the support of the
Parent Teachers association may
be obtained. However, as the
girls have promised to prepare a
picnic dinner for the workers, 1t
is thought that the boys will at
tend to their share of the work.
The girls accuse the boys OF lax
enthusiasm because of the shovel
proposition. A date will be set
at the next practice game for do
ing the work.
