all absorbing question of whether, as
a people, we shall follow the progress
siVe course experienced in England or
whether we shall find ourselves thrust
into currents Of disorder as have been

''Ihe more pronounced and most

"Chief among these repressiye

similar differentiation laws, the
legality of individual contracts of en-
ployment denying the worker the right
to join the trade union of his calling
and placing the power to penalize the
worker into the hands of an irrespon-

LABOR ABOLITION
MOST IMPORTANT CUES
TON BEFORE PEOPLE

Tie abolition Of child labor Is tie
vital question how before the Amen-
can people, President Gompefz Of the
American Federation Of Labor told
the 1923 convention Of the Federation.
Modern history, modern industrial
development has brought in its wake
not only the great eiYilizing lnilu-
ences, but il has brought evils Of
great moment and menace said
President Gompefs.
"There can be no greater menace to
the progress and civilization Of our
time than the sacrifice of young and
innocent children upon the altar Of
Mammon.
"The conscience Of the American
people has been awakened and a cry
has gone forth from one end of
America to the other That the child
life Of our country must be conserved
at all hazards.
ITO say to this universal demand
of our people that the Constitution of
the United States Is impotent for the
people to protect the children of our
time is begging the question.
THE courts have decided that two
laws which the congress of the United
States have enacted. upon the demand
0 fthe people of our country for the
passage of laws to protect children
and minors from undue exploitation,
are null and void; that the people
