Child Labor Abolition
Most Important Question
Before People Today
SAMUEL GOMPERS

'"fhat is to lay the greatest indict-
ment against our competency"
In its report on child labor the
American Federation of Labor execu-
tive council urges the mobilization of
the entire trade union movement for
the adoption of organized labor's child
labor amendment to the federal con-
stitution
The amendment was drawn by the
permanent conference for the aboli-
tion of child labor, organized by Pres
ident Gompers in 1922 when the su-
preme court declared the second child
labor act unconstitutional 1t con-
fers upon congress power to 'limit or
prohibit the labor of persons under
Is years of age"
The councils report emphasizes
the fact that the American Fedora
tion of Labor, since its inception in
1881, has persistently advocated laws
prohibiting child labor" and has Sc
cured the enactment of many state
child labor laws
The federation also used its nation
wide influence to secure the enactment
of the two federal child labor laws
which were vetoed by the supreme
court"

SPOILS SYSTEM RUNS
p. O. DEPARTMENT

Washington w. L. Foulke, presi-
dent of the National Civi Service Re-
form League, charges post office de-
partment officials with the re-estab-
lishment of the spoils system and per-
sistent violation of the civil service
law by seeking recommendation
from members of congress on post
master and rural carrier appoint
ments.
The charges direct attention to de-
partment letters to members of con
gress submitting names of applicants
eligible for appointment and inviting
recommendations, with the admonition
that under the law ''the department
is not permitted to consider or file
recommendations of political ma
ture."
Foulke claims that this admonition
is merely gigantic and multitudi-
nous wink" to members of congress
as to how they shall recommend their

which children and animals were seen
playing at the time of the agents
visit was stored under one house, in.
viting disease and fire.
In Bad State of Repair
MANY of the houses were in bad
state of repair, with leaking roofs,
loose windows, and sagging doors
The roof of one house leaked in every
room, and water and snow came in
under the doors; in another it was
necessary to put pans around to catch
the water The weather-stripping
was falling off some of the houses
Where they had been papered the
paper, old and discolored, was fre-
quently hanging in ribbons.
in such houses as these the house
wife has few conveniences-an inef-
fcient heating system, no inside
water supply or toilet, no bath. Elec-
trio light, found in all except one OF
two of the camps, was practically the
the miners houses.
The need of bath in the miners
home is a very real one, especially if
there is no wash and change house
at the mouth of the mine. Without
a bathroom, the miners daily bath is
likely to be taken under uncomfort-
able and inconvenient circumstances
Water-a small amount at best
must be heated on the kitchen stove
and in the small, crowded houses
strict privacy is difficult to secure. In
all the IL camps only 50 of the fam
lies interviewed-usually those of
the mine executives-ha baths in
their houses; so that only 1876 of the
1928 children enjoyed what in these
days is considered necessity"

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. c. Investigation
by the children's bureau of the
United States department of labor
again directs attention to the uncom-
Portable and insanitary houses in
which miners in many sections are
forced to live.
Apparently the mine owners believe
that any kind of a dwelling, even if it
lacks every requirement of decent
house, is good enough for miner. In
vestigators of the children's bureau
who made study of conditions af-
fecting children in the soft coal dis
tricts of Raleigh county, West Vir-
ginia, found that usually the only
houses to be had in mine towns belong
to the mining companies and the
miners families must rent and live in
them whether they like them or not.
Houses Little Better Than Shacks
More than nine-tenths of the fam
lilies interviewed by the bureaus
agents lived in houses rented from the
companies. The investigators, in their
report on the houses, say:
when not absolutely alike in every
detail, as whole lanes of them often
were, the miners houses were built on
the same general plan-detached or
scmi-detaehed one or two-story struc-
lures, containing usually three or four
rooms. They were invariably of wood,
some being clapboarded, Others of up
right boards with or without weather
stripping; erected without cellars,
tlsy stood usually on piles, in many
cases with an open space beneath.
Most of them were generally lack
ing in the essentials of comfortable
dwelling; rooms were small and few
in number; they were inconvenient.
insanitary, ill-ventilated, and cold.
"As the houses were built of the
cheapest material, usually not wealth
erboarded, and in many cases not
plastcred or even ceiled, the fireplaces
which as a rule were the only means
of heating besides the cookstove could
not keep them comfortably warm.
Some were said to be like paper
when the wind struck them. The oc
cupants of a number of the houses
had tackled newspapers or old maga
zine covers over the rough board
walls-one family had papered with
samples of wall paper-in order to
keep out the cold. The flooring was
often only a single layer of boards,
sometimes with cracks an inch or
more wide, placed over open founda-
tions through which the cold air cir
culated freely. Knot holes and cracks
in the wall were not uncommon.
mot infrequently the houses were
damp as we'll as cold, as they were
built close to the ground and the
space beneath the house was not al
ways kept dry; water from nearby
spring ran under one house The
open foundation also offered refuge
for animals, from which vermin and
unhealthful odors easily entered the
house. Many families found it, also,
"a convenient place for rubbish of
every description-an old bedstead in

Standing firmly on the principle Of
representative democracy, the trade
union movement seeks complete free
dom for the workers through demo
cratic representative Institutions.
1T knows no race, no creed no
party, no sex, and no sects.
1T recognizes that united labor
tands, divided labor falls
1t affrms, and acts upon the aftir-
nation, that the workers have the
power to obtain complete freedom
through the organization and effective
use Of their economic power-the
power to produce wealth and render
service in every branch Of industry,
agriculture, and commerce.
Therefore, for the coming year
we urge unceasing efforts in the work
Of agitation. education, organization,

The union bases its opposition prin-

is very arduous and which extends to
long hours. The wages are less than
half the usual rate for white expert

The abolition of child labor is the
vital question now before the Ameri-
can people, President Gompers, 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 civilizing influences,
but it has brought evils of great mo-
ment and menace" said President
Gompers.
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 Amer
lea to the other that the child life Of
our country must be conserved at all
hazards.
TO 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
Of the people of our country for the
passage Of laws to protect children
and minors from undue exploitation,
arc null and void; that the people
through their chosen representatives
can not pass law to protect the child
life of America, the children of today
upon whom the perpetuity of our re-
public and our civilization depend.
