industry, may prove to be the
scene Of the worlds greatest strug
gle between capital and labor. n
This is the opinion of Margaret
Burton Of the National Board of
the Young Women's Christian As
Sociation, who went to China last
August with the John D Rockefel-
Ter party and remained to inspect
industrial conditions.
Having recently returned she
gives the following statement re-
garding conditions there:
t.China is beginning her indu strial
history on the basis Of valuing ma
chinery more highly than life. The
factory system is built on the bad
foundations of child labor, long
hours, inadequate wages and work
ing conditions that are a menace.
to life.
lat the present time every fac
tory is a law unto ITSELF There is
no such thing as industrial legis-
lation.
Each factory may decide sor
itself what wages it will pay. what
hours of work it will demand, I'M
der what conditions the workers
work what days Of rest it will
grant. what protection from ma
chinery it will provide, and what
the age limit of its workers will be.
Most Are Women, Children
.It is impossible to estimate
how many factory workers there
are in China, but of the 100000
workers in the Yangtzepoo district.
