| Lewis W. Zin, state labor inspector,
was into see me yesterday, and it makes
me feel good to see my old friends once
more He looks fifteen years younger
! than he did when I saw him last, about
six years ago. Working for the state
seems to agree with him better than
| running newspaper in the public veal.
| Mr.. Zim was appointed by Governor
Hardee to succeed Inspector Privett,
who had held that office for six or eight
years when he suddenly died last year.
| Mr.. Zim says he is given hearty coop
Grafton in all sections Of Florida and
that there is q general desire on the
part of the industrial heads to carry out
the provisions of the child labor law
The compulsory school attendance law,
Mr.. Tim finds, is making it possible to
enforce the law with less effort, but he
relates sad state of affairs in many
counties on account of the schools OPP
Grating only short terms of four months
on account Of a lack of finances
| MIR. Zim, some twenty years ago, was
one of the wheelhorses in the ranks of
the progressive democrats seeking to
throttle the rule of the special interests
: in Florida. He was a peoples man all
the way through, and a great deal of
the present progressive legislation that
Floridians enjoy Is the result Of Mr..
Zim's untiring efforts.
When the first child labor bills were
introduced in the legislature they were
almost laughed out of court. The men
who opposed this legislation are now
working in hearty accord to see that the
provisions OF the law are enforced,
Governor Hardee doesn't consult me
about his appointments. but If he did
L would suggest that he couldn't 60 far
wrong by naming men like Lewis Zim.

Dear Mr.. Chip:
Il am enclosing a clipping from the
GAINESVILLE Sun about the great time

you, Mr.. Chip, ali the Pensacola boys
here sure felt proud OF good old Pensa-
cola when the Big Gang came home
on Monday and told everyone of the
great time they had there and tho hos
pitality of Pensacolians. l am out on
the gridiron every day with those boys
and they all said: johnson, Pensacola
sure did treat us swell. Nothing was too
good for u.s. and other nice things. 1
hope you will have space in your col
unn to reproduce this write-up as it will
snow the Juniors and others that the
Gators and others appreciated every
thing they did for them.
