SHAME.

Uncle Sam reports that over mill
lion children, 10 to Is years old, we're
painfully employed" in 1919. If we
had that situation in year of rec
ord prosperity, think what conditions
must be when the pinch of hard times
or even normal business drives the
young into the ranks of child labor.
A nations degree of civilization is
measured by its child labor situation
and bys its treatment of women. Prog
ress by inventions is surface stuff, not
basic, except as it helps eliminate
human slavery.

RUNY0N
NOMINATION
Delay by Senate Judiciary
Committee-Want Facts
About PIainfieId Man
BY GEORGE HI. MANNING,
Washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News

LAAAoCS AWE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The
nomination of former State Senator
William N. Runyon for the recently
created United States judgeship IN
New Jersey is being held up by the
senate judiciary committee. it was
learned today, until the committee
can obtain some particulars about
the late Republican candidate for
governor of New Jersey.
After making numerous promises
to Senator Frelinghuysen that Run
yon's nomination would be sent to
the senate before Christmas so that
the Jersey lame duck" might get
the appointment as a Christmas
gift, President Harding sent his
nomination to the senate on Satur-
day, December 80, just in time for
a New Years present.
1t was referred at once to the
senate judiciary committee. Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen instituted inquiry
today as to why no report had been
made on it and learned it was be-
ing held up for information con
corning Runyon.
Usually when judges are nominal
ed numerous endorsements are for
warded from the justice department
and the committee receives a flood
of letters, some endorsing it and
some opposing the appointment.
But very strangely not a letter or
word of any kind came to the com
mittee concerning Runyon. The
committee, Senator Frelinghuysen
learned, was concerned at least
about Runyon's age, being anxious
to know If he was sixty years of age
or a younger man who could be ex-
pected to give several years of serv-
ice before reaching the retirement
age.
