together the largest field of school
boy sectional champions ever assem-
bled. Some of the teams will travel
more than 1000 miles to compete
While the field this year is to he
limited to thirty-two teams, especial
efforts have been made to match
leaders of widely separated sections
so that the finals will show the most
representative teams of schoolbovs
in the country. Last year Licking
ton, KY, school carried off honors
in competition with twenty-six
squads, defeating Mt. Vernon, Ohio,
in the finals. Rockford, H., and
Hume Fogg High of Nashville, Tenn,
won third and fourth places.
One of the outstanding entries this
year is the Passaic, N. j., team
which claims an unbroken string of
105 victories. Aonther Eastern lead
er is Naugatuck, Conn, recent win
ner over Crosby High, of Water
bury, Conn, the runners-up in the
191 tournament. Lanier High, Ma
con, Ca, winners of. the 1922 South
ern title, and uhdefeated this year,
are expected to represent that sec
ton of the South, while teams
from Texas viii come from the
Southwest.
To enforce eligibility rules strict
ly, the University Of Chicago has
acted through state associations of
the West, to insure that all entrants
are in good standing before they
will be allowed to compete.
State organizations already have
raised funds to send the winners of
the Kansas and Tennessee tourna-
ments. The visiting athletes will be
guests here OF the university fra
ternities, with banquets and auto
mobile trips on the entertainment
program.

URGED TO COM
BAT GARYISM

Pittsburgh, Pain urging affliates
to assist in the organization of the
steel industry, Secretary Treasurer
Davis of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
declares that the union shop must
displace the modern slave pits, the
symbols of savagery."
The trade unionist impresses upon
organized steel workers the need for
united action and urges each local to
appoint committee to cooperate
with central bodies and organizers in
the various steel centers.
"This work is important, but it can
be accomplished if the proper effect
is made" said Secretary Davis. "This
long turn of the dark ages is going,
collective bargaining is making rapid
strides and gathering strength daily.
Reason is taking the place of usurped
authority and self-appointed autoc-
racy"

in this country.
mo other thing can compare with
it in raising the standard of the peo-
ple," he said. "There is no use to
talk Americanization to a man with
hungry children"
The speaker favored rigid restric-
ton of immigration. Charity begins
at home" he said. Let's shut the
gates. The fellow who cries that we
should let foreigners in because they
will make cheap labor needs to be
Americanized And it makes no diff
ference whether it is Judge Gary OF
any one else who says this.
81 have different idea about Amer
icanization than many persons" said
Senator Adams. 1--WE have distin-
guished men going among the foreign
ers of this country, bribing them for
votes. They need to be Americanized.
"Those who place children in fac
tories and deprive them of school and
play need to be Americanized.
''The men who stayed at home while
our boys were fighting overseas, and
who were coming money out of their
blood need to be Americanized.

Seventeen National Bodies
Appeal for Constitutional
Bar Against Child Slavery

tions under which children not yet IA
may work.
"Thirty-seven states allow children
to go to work without a common
school education.
Eighteen states do not make ply
sical fitness for work condition of
employment.
Fourteen states allow children un-
der 16 to work from to IL hours
day; two do not regulate in any
way daily hours of labor of children.
Five states do not protect chill
dren under 16 from night work.
Federal Authority Necessary
Because:
State authority alone is made
quate. States desiring to protect
their children from child labor can
not do SO against the competition of
other states with low child labor
standards.
'The object of the first and second
federal child labor laws was to pro-
hibit the work of children under Ia
in factories and canneries and of chill
dren under 16 in mines and quarries,
and to prohibit the work of children
IA to 16 years of age for more than
eight hours day or six days week
in factories and canneries.
investigations made after the first
and second federal child labor laws
were declared unconstitutional showed
that hundreds of children in many diff
ferent states had been dependent on
the federal laws for their only pro-
lection against premature or exces-
sive employment.
To-day nearly every civilized
western nation has made legislative
provision to give its children a mini
mum protection against exploitation.
Twelve countries have at least the
14-year age minimum; Belgium, Bull
garia, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Ger
many, Great Britain, Greece, The
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway,
Roumania, and Switzerland.
"The United States has no national
standard. The states which permit
the employment of children under IA

and Japan.
What Amendment Should Provide
"To insure the protection of our
children the child labor amendment
must be grant of power to con-
gress to establish national mini

Gov. Pinchot Acted on Own
Initiative in Proposing
Plan Ending Coal Strike

BILE course of action. He had also
sought to learn whether action on
his part would be agreeable. 1t was
known to representatives of the min
ers that the governor intended to act
nearly a week before his first open
step was taken.
1t is an interesting fact that many
officials in the federal government
had centered their efforts on the
question of substitute for anthra-
cite. They seemed to accept an an
thracite strike as certainty and to
bend their efforts toward promoting
the idea of substitute for that fuel.
Strangely--or so it seems, at any
rate-almost all official talk of sub
stitute hinged on bituminous coal.
The strength of the bituminous coal
interests was striking There are
some twenty-five substitutes for an
thracite coal, chief of which are oil
and electricity, but official circles
confined themselves to bituminous
coal. The conference of eastern gov
ernors, held just prior to the break
ing up of the Atlantic City confer
ence, also joined the chorus for BIZ
luminous coal.
Union Foes Behind Agitation
The success of Gov. Pinchot's fe-
forts had ruined the hopes of the
bituminous producers, but their hopes
ran high for time. 1t is interest
ing to note that the bituminous inter
ests that were behind the agitation
were chiefly non-union mine owners.
The United Mine Workers of America
have repeatedly called attention to
the situation, and it is not improb-
able that politicians in some quarters
may be long time explaining away
what some believe to have been an
alliance between them and non-union
interests for a fresh onslaught on the
miners union.
The Pinchot conference ruined the
non-union bituminous scheme and
the gallant action of the miners
union made certain the continued
production of anthracite coal during
the coming winter season The gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, in what he
did, acted on his own initiative and
not as the messenger or representa-
tive of anyone else

needs"
With the welfare not only
of our industry, but also the better
ment of community conditions as our
mutual aim, we want to fight with
you against all unethical practices of
any kind which may have developed,
and to serve the public always to the
best advantage of worker, consumer,
and employer"

Washington, D. C.-Seventeen ma
tional organizations, including the
American Federation of Labor, the
National Women's Trade Union
League and the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America, have
united in an appeal for an amendment
to the constitution which will give the
United States the power to end child
labor.
The appeal points out that twice
the country has demanded that child
labor cease. 1t goes on to say:
"Twice the country has demanded
through laws passed by congress that
child labor cease
"Twice the supreme court has de-
clared congress powerless to act un-
der present constitutional limita-
tions.
Therefore only one course is open
amend the constitution SO as to re-
move these limitations.
In the last congress the judiciary
committees of both houses favorably
reported child labor amendment
which failed to pass.
''An amendment must be passed by
the next congress and submitted to
the states for ratification"
Telling why the country needs
congressional action on child labor,
the appeal says:
Because:
'In the United States one child out
