WEST VIRGINIA E OWN n
G TATE Scommissioner of Labor G. F.sDaugherty
~ has: issued a circular setting forth the fact that
the action of the United States Supreme Court in
declaring unconstitutional the clause of the inter
nal revenue act imposing ajax on child labor.
does not affect West Virginia who has enacted
state laws of, her own governing the employment
of children.
This was done, according to the circular, in the
4 919 session of the state legislature, when a state
law was passed conforming to federal regulations
in order that a permit issued by the state, would
have the same power and effect as if issued by fed
eral authority.
This puts West Virginia out OF the class of
southern states who allow manufacturing inter-.
ests to sap the strength of their future citizens in
order to line their pockets. 1t is difficult to under
stand the view point of a state which ignores the
injury to the future interests of its commonwealth
in prematurely draining the vigor of its youth.
Mr.. Daugherty states that:
The factory inspectors of the state have been
directed to closely examine all permits on file at
plants where children are employed and to en-
force the child labor law SO that this state may
not be placed in az class with other states whose
disregard for the child in employment may appear
as a reason for federal supervision.
E..-, E.1.:I --J;o~ F~r torpr rro ~ h al
should be referred to either the county or city sup
erintendent of schools that a proper permit should
be kept on file by the employer and open to the
inspection of the commissioner of@labor, his as
sistants, factory inspectors, school truancy officers
and accredited agents of the humane society. When
a child ceases employmnt with a firm the permit
should be Immediately returned to the issuing Of
1cer."

Kiwanians learned yesterday that the freight
rate reduction, now considered a certainty for the
Monongahela Valley, means a saving in hard cash
for the city of Fairmont acne of the sum of $4,000
a year, based upon shipments of the past year,
which was not a normally good year. This saving
does not include coal shipments. bearing only upon
other commodities. The fact that the Chamber of
Commerce organization has been able to secure
the assent of the Baltimore and Ohio officials to a
freight rate reduction may not strike the public
at large as such an achievement, but when 1t gets
home that the reduction means $4,000 saved to
the city of Fairmont, the. people will take off their
hats to the Chamber of Commerce. Money talks!

FEATURES OF FUTURE CITY
Chances for the Better That Are
Assured Simply by the Ordinary
March Of Events.

Tomorrow you may not know your
own city. They have probably begun
altering 1t already. or are planning to
do SO. If not, IL doesn't greatly mat
ter. because certain forces at work
will compel far-reaching changes auto
matically. Tomorrow your city will
have wide boulevards cut through its
narrow streets. These will accommo-
date four, six and eight lines of traf-
fic. They will start at the center and
run miles out into the country. Thou.
sands of buildings will be torn down.
Sharp street corners will be rounded
off and the circle and crescent take
the place of the checkerbOard.
Did your city fathers. years ago, lay
out downtown boulevard or town with
a strip of parkway in the center?
That beauty spot will be needed for
traffic. But better beauty spots will
appear miles from the downtown sec
ton. Slums and tenements will dis
appear, too. There will be general
grading up of living standards, and an
equalization Of real estate values.
When you drive a car the traffic cop
will no longer be able 10 bawl you out,
for he will disappear from street
crossings. guiding traffic by electric
signals from IA point where he can see
everything but say nothing-that Is,
II he doesn't disappear altogether, says
n Saturday Evening Post writer. For
there will be doubledecked street cross
ings mt congested points. And traffic
at ordinary street crossings will be
speeded up by diffused lighting which
kills the shadows that now make
them dangerous.
