COMMUNICATED
Black Gold

By ChaS. H. Aspinwall
 As guests of the Doty's, father and
 sons, of whom it is only fair to say
 that no more kindly, courteous, or
 we'll informed gentlemen conduct ex- cursions to the oil fields of California, we leave beautiful Library Park, Pas adena, on the morning of February 18th.
 Mid winter dispatches tell us that a large portion of the United States is held fast in the icy grip of frost and snow. Men arc freezing to death there. Coal is a luxury that can only be obtained in limited quantities at exorbitant prices. And here, in Cali fornia of the south, balmy breeze tempers the warm rays of the bright ly shining sun. Snow can be seen but it lies high up on the mountain tops and simply adds to the beauty of the scene.
 An easy riding car conveys us through the busy streets of the swift ly growing Crown City. On we roll, down through wonderful glen shad- ed by live oaks, out between groves of orange trees among whose dark green leaves countless spheres of golden fruit hang in radiant clusters, then into the streets of Alhambra, almost unthought of ten years ago. but now a city, and on past the old mission property to the San Gabriel valley. One would scarcely believe that all the territory we have driven through from the foot hills above Los Angeles to the Sierre Madre noun tains on the north, and from the Arroyo Seco on the west to Lucky BaIdwin's Santa Anita ranch on the east, a tract over ten miles square, was sold only fifty-four years ago for eighteen hundred dollars. We glide on through extensive gardens of let tuce, beets and spinach, ready for market, down into and beyond the old Montebello oil fields to the great walnut orchards worth thousands of dollars per acre.
 Mocking birds carol in the trees as we pass. The almonds are solid masses of pink bloom, and now begin to appear on either hand. steel and wooden frames towering seventy-five. a hundred feet in the air, and at their base powerful machinery, drilling, drilling, down, down, mile or more into the bowels of the earth.
 Derricks, derricks on every hand in all stages of construction, supply houses going up, pipe lines for con- veying the oil to refineries being laid down, hustle and seeming confusion everywhere, yet in and through it all an ordered purpose.
 Santa Fe Springs two years ago was ! fruit and nut growing district with groves of orange, lemon. peach and walnut trees. little homes, small ranches, and quiet rural life.

of farming revealed the same gen. eral conditions, although usually not quite so acute as among the beet growers. Such conditions were found by the National Child Labor Committees investigation in the cranberry bogs of New Jersey, and among the itinerapt berry and vegetable pickers of Delaware and Maryland.
 In the cotton fields of Texas, little children were found working long hours, living in unsanitary conditions and being kept out of school. This was also true fin the cotton fields of Oklahoma and In various kinds of agricultural indus tries In North Dakota, Kentucky. North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, California ard elsewhere.
 In other words, to quote Gertrude H. Folks, who has made a con siderable investigation of this, sub ject, "When Is child labor 'aot child labor? Every state in the Union
New Britain herald., 1923-02-26

answers: when 1t takes place on 6 farm."
 In seventeen states agriculture Is specifically exempted from the pro- visions of the child labor law regu- leting the age and the number of hours the children may work. In the other states there is no definite exemption, but agriculture Is not listed in the law.
 Why are such conditions allowed to exist? In the first place, the general public, including parents and law makers, are under the erroneous impression that farm work is not only not injurious to children but is actually beneficial. At a recent hearing in the senate in Washington when the question of exploiting child labor 5y the sugar beet industry came up, Sena- tor Reed Smoot said perfectly con scientiously, "So far as child labor in my state is concerned, 1t Is a God-send to the children.

 The commotion reaching the ears of King Oscar, he ordered that the culprits be brought before him. Then, for the first time, the boys were ad- dressed in their own tonque, the king asking them in English why they were intruding. Perkins. who acted as spokesman, gave such plausible ex- planation that King Oscar shook hands cordially, dismissed the soldiers and entertained the young Americans for an hour at the palace.

60 hard. He considers play an un. f necessary waste Of time.
 As a result of this attitude. it Is
 almost impossible 10 get my direct
 legislation protecting farm children.
 Farm child labor exists in three
 forms-FIrst. where children work
 for their own parents on the home
 farm: second. where they hire out
 to others for wages; third. where they work with their parents under contract to others. The form most prevalent in any given region va. ries with the stage of agriculture. Usually each farm section passes through three stages. exploitation, specialization and dIverslficatlon. The first stage Is the boom period when the region is opened up. Families move In, take up land and aim to get as much out of 1t as possible and as quickly as pos. sIble and move on. The labor supply Is strained. Families are migrating. Child labor reaches an unfortunate point. School facill- ties are inadequate. Proper home conditions are totally lacking and recreatlonal and moral surround. ings at a low ebb. While the child 1 usually works for his own parents | his condition is about as bad as when he works for others.
 In the second stage. that of special lzation, the region has discovered the crop to which 1t Is best adapted and gone In for 1t heavily. It is in these one crop regions where farming Is in the second stage that the greatest amount of child labor and It's worst form is found. The children of farm laborers and ten. ants are the chief sufferers rather than the children of the owners of farms. More than one-half the families who live on the land and do farm work are either tenants or farm laborers. Conditions of life for tenants and laborers have become harder as conditions of
