Cesspools Where Child Labor Is Legitimate
Infect the Entire Nation


Every we'll wisher of children must feel deeply
the failure of the last effort in national prevention
of child labor. A study of the situation as it stands
will show that a majority of states have forward
looking and effective laws in child protection; that
some others have enacted legislation that at least goes
part way. But there is a minority that are still in
the Middle ages in their attitude to childhood.
Child labor in these backward states is COMPETE
lively unfair to industry in the states that have re-
sponded to the moral and social ideals of our people.

WHO IS TO BE SATISFIED?

The miners representatives and the coal
operators have again failed to reach wage
agreement. The difference between the two
opposing sides is clearly defined. The un-
ion leaders demand national wage scale
applicable equally to all fields. The opera
tors insist upon district agreements 1t
appears to the outsider that there is some
thing to the argument that local conditions
should enter into all wage schedules. There
appears to be no obstacle to district agree
ments, and no especial difficulty experience
ed by operators coming to terms with their
own employees. 1t is the national repre-
sentatives who are hard to deal with. The
question at once resolves itself back to the
real purpose Of agreements: Is it to satisfy
the ambitions of national leaders; or is it
to satisfy the men who actually are digging
the coal? Evidently the miners are the
ones who should have the decision whether
they shall accept wage proposals or not.
The logic in the case appears to favor the
district agreements.

ends with important links In the national
road chain, the southern connection being the
Old Spanish Trail. 1t should also be borne
In mind that experience has shown the fall

WHAT BRANDON STANDS FOR

On the eve of entering office as the gov
ernor Of Alabama, Judge w. w. Brandon
.is definitely committed to four constructive
measures. These are, the early leasing of
the Muscle Shoals plants; an improved edu-
cational system; more careful expenditure
: of funds to insure an efficient and business
like administration without impeding the
states advancement in any essential direc-
ton; and the development Of the seaport at
Mobile During his campaign and after
ward, Judge Brandon has repeatedly de-
clared that he will take no backward step,
but will work to place Alabama in the
front rank of states.
The people who elected Judge Brandon
governor by an overwhelming vote have
every assurance that his campaign pledges
will be carried out and that they may ex-
pect continuation of the enlightened and
progressive administration Of public affairs
such as Alabama has experienced during
Governor Klby's term of office

STATUS OF AMERICAN SHIPPING

The sixth annual report Of the shipping
board shows that some economies have been
effected and considerable progress has been
made in placing the huge and diversified
shipping interests of the nation on a bust
ness basis Foreign trade has increased and.
an extensive passenger service has been es-
tablished. The boards duties include not
only supervision of American ships in har-
bors and on the seven seas, but labor, port
facilities, the development of transportation
in connection with waterways and the crea-
ton of new trade routes The shipping
boards functions apply to every phase of
the nations merchant marine, fact that
should be taken into consideration when ,es
timating progress.
In spite Of depression in commerce, the
report states that at the close of the fiscal
year, June 80, 1922, there was employment
for approximately $4,000 on vessels of
the merchant marine and larger number
of longshoremen engaged in loading and
unloading ships. Wages, one of the most
troublesome problems with which the board
has had to deal ever since it was established,
have been reduced more than $10,000,000
ANNUALLY IOi ioh6oho1OhiSh ebN oSHiiASii.
Wherever possible the board wisely made
wage adjustments by collective Bargain
ing," thus allaying to some extent the re-
sentiment and discomfort apt to follow wage
reductions.
During the fiscal year arrivals and de-
partures of ships engaged in the foreign
trade totaled 1882, with an aggregate Of
so,231,0o0 long tons of cargo. In the re-
lation of load to lightweight tonnage the
American percentage was 37.9 and the for
eign was 1914 American ships used fewer
lightweight tons to move each ton of cargo
than foreign ships. One problem which has
caused the shipping board a great deal
Of thought is it's plan to dispose
Of its idle tonnage. The report says that
no one could be found to buy in large
quantities at fair price. The board has
1856 vessels for sale, totaling 1O,so9,17
lightweight TONS There is no immediate
prospect of heing able to sell these ships.
Their transfer into private hands, while the
American merchant marine is being built
up, will be slow, but the report points out
that large part of the worlds tonnage is
over fifteen years old and the time will soon
come when the expense of maintaining
outof-date vessels in the highest classified
ton will be so great that it win be cheaper
to replace the old with new tonnage, in
which class much Of our tonnage belongs.
The chief obstacle to disposing Of the
boards vessels at present is an excess of
world tonnage. As this tonnage is abb
sorbed, there is reason to believe that the
board will be able to get price for ships
that will compensate for the cost Of upkeep
while they are out Of service. Naturally
tho value Of ship will increase in proper
ton to the need for moro tonnage.
Conditions were not favorable for estab-
fishing new trade routes during the year,
but Of commerce borne In American bottoms
shipping board vessels carried 4,S13,91s
cargo tons Of imports and 6,6S4,sS1 cargo
tons Of exports,

STATE TAX ON MINERALS

Twenty-seven companies engaged In MIN
ing iron ore in Minnesota have Joined in
suit, now being, argued in the federal SUI
preme court, attacking the validity of tho
6 per cent. tax upon the net value of all
mineral extracted from the soil In that state.
The plaintiffs allege that the tax is In re-
straint of interstate commerce. 1t Is re-
called that on November 81 the supreme
court handed down decision In a similar
case regarding Pennsylvania tax on an
thracite. The anthracite companies resisted
the tax on the same ground as taken by the
ore companies; but the court held that a
state has a right to tax Its own products.
The only case in which the court perceived
that such tax would affect interstate
commerce statutes would be such a tax as
applied only to mineral shipped out of the
state but not to that consumed within the
state. Then there would be discrimination
and violation of interstate commerce
principles. This also should answer those
\ who attacked the legality of Governor
Kilby's tax on iron ore and coal.
The Minnesota case is nationally mpor-
tant, because Minnesota produces two
thirds of the iron ore mined In the United
States and half the amount used in this
country. Unless there Is some radical dis
tinction between the iron ore case and the
anthracite case the decision of the court
may be fairly we'll anticipated.

WAS THE DIME NOVEL BAD?

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
In this day of upheavals and diversions,
personal regulations that were tarnshe
are FURNISHED, and many hoary sinner has
become-if not quite saraph-at least a
plaster saint. But the dime novel, now you
come to look at it, was never really the
dreadful little home-wre 7htr I'D boy
destroyer certain social ameliorists believed
it to be. There were few fragrant excep-
tions that glorfied crime and made hero
of type that civilization had to put down
summarily, to make the world safe for
democracy, women and children first. 1t
is doubtful if the most subversive of the
ten-centers was ever half SO demoralizlng
as certain novels beautifully put out today
at cost 20 times as great.
As one looks through the dime novels,
now so difficult to come by, it is not moral
obliquity, code of ethics aslant, that first
impresses. Not how bad they were, but
how good they were, is the wonder. Those
authors were rapid-fire producers whose
output under forced draft moves admira-
ton. They manufactured incidents at such
high speed as to show a clean pair of heels
to most of the movies" that we see; and
the shrewd scenario-makers now are delv-
ing into the breathess escapades Of Old
Sleuth, Frank Fearnought and the rest as
some men mine for precious metal.
At convention of boys clubs held here
speaker has not hesitated to defend what
once was anathema. Better, he AYERS, to
lead the boy through such literature than to
force him around it. A charm attaches to
fruit forbidden. Why take the negative
course Of imposing ban when there is
a way of overcoming evil with good? The
spirit Of youth, militant against excessive
government, often may be guided subtly and
insensibly, instead of by the point-blank
"Thou shalt notv' Moral suasion may
improve a taste in literature as well as
amend the conduct of life.
