CHILD LABOR DAY

The return of Child Labor Day, OBJ
served annually on the last Sunday
of January calls attention to the con-
ditions surrounding the child worker
on the farm, as shown in studies re-
Gently made by the United State de-
partment of labor through the chill
dren's bureau.
In sections of the Texas cotton belt
included in these studies, young chill
dren work at hoeing and chopping the
cotton, and even at heavier kinds of
field work, such as blowing, harrow
ing and cultivating. Practically every
child ten years of age or over in the
sections studied was employed in the
fields at some time during the year;
ten hours or more was the average
working day, during the season, re-
ported for more than half the children,
and many reported an average work
ing day of II hours or even longer.
Although most Of the children work
ed only a few months, much of the
work falls at time when school is
in session. Teachers reported that
half or third of the children who
should have been in school by Septem-
Der did not register until November
or later Illiteracy on the part of
father or mother or both was reported
for to per cent of the white fam
lilies and about third of the colored
families visited. Many of the COM
ing generation will be likewise handi-
capped if field work continues to keep
them out of school.

ing the complete deficits the second
and third years.
3. THE TALENT WILL BE
GOOD, because it must make good
with the more than one hundred great
Chautauquas in the middle west which
cooperate in this group, the cities
ranging in size from three to fifty
thousand population.
4. THE TALENT PRICES WILL
BE REASONABLE-more than thirty
per cent below those paid on the open
market because of the corporation
which makes possible shorter routings
and other economies.
IN RETURN each community must
cooperate heartily to make the Chau-
tauqua a success. The usual plan of
local financing-a tried and proven
one-is to sell each year while the
Chautauqua is on enough season tick
cts to care for the price of the pro-
gram. The more tickets pledged the
greater the program planned.
! This is to be HAMILTON'S OWN

to its possibilities the support and
enthusiasm of the community, whose
cordial cooperation the guarantors
are especially anxious to secure. They
do not want it that that they have
any monopoly on the Chautauqua be-
cause they signed the contract They
did that to make it possible and want

it successful They will organize, Sc

COLLEGE PROFESSOR
Employers in Mercantile Business Abetng Wage Cutters
Gradually Drive Trade to Mail Order Houses

The "open shop movement in addi-
ton to denying workers the right of
collective bargaining, has done meal
culable harm to business, and will in
the long run be harmful in its effect
upon society in general, declared Prof.
w Lewis Abbott, of the business adj
ministration and banking department
of the Colorado College, in an address
made recently at Colorado Springs
Col.
Prof. Abbott declared that he based
his opinion on an impartial investi-
cation and the reports of examiners
everywhere.
To illustrate his point, Professor
Abbott recited the experience of bust.
ness men in Oklahoma City. There
he said, the "open shop" movement
was started and vigorously prosecut
ed by employers with the assistance
of business men through their Cham
Der of Commerce.
Quit Home Merchants
Naturally" said Professor Abbott
union leaders could not maintain
their principles and continue to trade
with merchants and business houses
backing the movement. The resul
was that much of the merchandise
was ordered from mail order houses
or from other cities. The business
men of Oklahoma City suffered, th'
workers themselves suffered and th
cause was none other than the adop
tion of the open shop
The "open shop" movement, Pro
fessor Abbott declared, is bound t
pass away, because it is bad. "Al
groups of disinterested parties" h
continued, "have come to the conclu

of unionism rests, and also the founda

The delegates of the Machinists'

The Spoerl committee reported that
they held a joint meeting with organ
izer jim Roach, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and discussed the
matter between the Carpenters and
the Metal Polishers. A committee was

declarations embodied in the consti-
tuition of their organization.
There are only two ways for work
ing men to treat with employers. One
is through the unions, another is by
shop committees or industrial workers
councils. The open shop men are
opposed to bargaining with the
unions and, generally speaking, most
of them refuse to consider the only
other method of collective bargaining
that of shop committees Without
either method of dealing with en-
ployers, workers would be at the
mercy of corporations and other es-
Establishments.
Praises Gompers
"The American Federation of La
Dor, which is the national mouthpiece
of American unionism, is a conserva-
tive rganiZation-the most conserva-
tive of any labor movement in the
world 1t has as it's leader man who
recognizes the necessity for co-opera-
tion between employer and employe.
| Should this conservative organization
and its leaders be discredited among
union men by the growth and spread
of the open shop movement, then
workers, in order to protect their in
| terests, will turn to more radical
methods That is another reason why
disinterested persons and organiza-
tions are condemning the open shop
movement"
Commenting ON the charge that the
unions Systematically restrict produc-
ton, Professor Abbott said that he
did not believe that it was entitled tc
much consideration. "a tendency
we'll founded in human nature" he
continued "is to limit production il
order to sell at higher price" He
cited examples of trusts and other EN-
ployers who created an artificial short
age in order to enhance the price OF
their products. He also maintained il
was natural for man to make iot
last as long as possible, especially i
he were facing unemployment wher
he completed the task.
