xi~ EE. but I'm tired" ]
have spent the day in a
i fiivver motoring around
to the public schools of
Manila. trying to get birds-eye
view of the educational work going
on in this capital of the Philippine
Islands AS yet l have been able to
visit only about one-tenth of the
primary and secondary schools, in
cluding the high schools. and have
not touched the normal schools, trade
schools, private schools. academies
and the several large universities.
Manila has ninety-one public school
buildings. and in these day and night.
taken together, about $4,000 pupils
are in daily attendance. There are
$500 boys and girls in the day
schools, and one in five of the whole
population goes to a public school
of some kind or other. In addition
there are about 10000 in the private
schools. so l may say that almost one
in four of this big city of Manila is
on the school roll.
But figures mean nothing without
concrete comparisons. Let me show
you how this school attendance COM
pares with that of some of the big
cities of the United States. We have
here about as many citizens as Seat
tie or Indianapolis, but each of those
cities lags far behind US in it's num-
Der of pupils New Orleans has $4,000
more people than Manila, and it's
oh n
number. Louisville, which is only a
bit smaller than Manila, has about
half as many children going to
school; and the superintendent
capital Of our nation. which sur
passes this capital of the Philippines
in population by 100000. has one
thousand less school children in
daily attendance. Among our other
big cities that have fewer school
children than Manila are Cincinnati.
Buffalo, st. Paul and Denver. Boston
the high-browed considers herself the
peak of American culture. She is
two and a half times bigger than
Manila, but her public school at
tendance Is only double that Of this
city. Either Philadelphia Of Chicago
would have to double it's school at
tendance per capita to equal that of
Manila. Foth Of those cities have
compulsory education laws. The
F,ilipinos hardly need 1t, for they
scramble to get into the schools. and
within the past half decade Manila
has been adding 1000 more school
children each year. There is no such
thing in these islands as "the whin-
ing schoolboy. with his satchel and
shining morning face, creeping like
anail unwillingly to school,"
\
ZEN. MCCOY. Gov. Woods CHIEF
- of staff, tells me that the
Filipino children whine IL they can't
go to school; they go on the run and
me great trouble is in putting up
new school buildings fast enough to
accommodate them.

INDUSTRIAL CHILD LABOR IN U. S.

metal industries. They work from As
to 81 hours week, performing all
kinds of factory work.
Accidents during working hours are
very common. In 1918, there were
1905 industrial accidents in Michigan
factories. Many of the accidents re-
suited in deaths, dismemberment, or
incapacity for work lasting from Is
days to one year.
Conclusion.
This,~in general, describes condi-
tons of industrial child laborers.
The children, under the system of
wage slavery, have been and still are
regarded as commodities, as mere in
struments for the accumulation of
riches.
Children must develop physically,
and to do so they must play; children
must develop mentally, and to do so
they must be sent to school; children
must develop morally, and to do so
they must be kept within the guarded
precincts of the home.
ouS, 90 bhAA6o Stduu SOudy, the GILL
dren of the producers are forced to
work. This means that their physical
development is checked. 1t means, in
other words, arrested growth, stunted
stature, anemia, thin, emaciated limbs,
sunken cheeks and hollow eyes. 1t
also means diseases of all kinds-of
the lungs, of the joints and of the
spine.
Premature toll also means-arrested
mentality. AT times, it means not only
a stopping short, but a development in
the wrong direction.
The moral effects of premature toll
are of the same sort: loosening of
family ties, rowing the streets, famil-
iarity with vice, startling independ-
ence before the moral nature is fit to
maintain independence. a process of
selection so trying that in many cases
it leads those subjected to ito ruin.
In brief, under the capitalist system
of production, the children Of the
wage-earners are denied health, edu-
cation. vocational fitness. and fair
start in life.

out shakers, the chute, or other ma
chinery." (Child Labor and the Wei
fare in an Anthracite Coal Mining Dis
trict, U. S. Children's Bureau Publica-
ton LOG. 1922, page 16.)
Conditions of life in this mining dis
trict, as well as in others, are those
of frontier town. The population of
$4,000 people is crowded into half a
square mile between hills. Nearly
every foot of land is covered with
houses. There are mines underneath
the town and where the coal had been
taken out the workings were not al
ways filled in to support the surface.
AS a result, one house after another
is giving way as the land caves in.
The population then crowds still
more closely together. The sewers,
and the water supply are in very
damaging condition. All this obvi-
ously is not good for children. Out of
every thousand babies born in this
town, 1877 were dying in their first
year. The death rates from bron-
chitis and diphtheria and Group were
three or four times as high as in the
United States registration area as a
whole. The scarlet fever was ~
times as high.
Children In other Industries.
In various other industries child
laborers work under similar condi-
tons:
In the cotton mills of the south
thousands of children under 16 years
of age are.working nine and ten hours
a day. Fatigue and atmospheric con-
ditions in cotton mills are productive
of various diseases, particularly tuber-
culosis. In southern mills, it was
found that boys Of Is and over had a
death rate twice as high as that for
non-operatives; and for girls Of the
same age period-the rate was even
higher.
Children are also employed in the
various steel and metal industries.
Thus, in Michigan, minors are en-
ployed extensively in automobile and

decisive moment, to lead the mass.
Even under such conditions we can
not promise that we can bring about
strike on the eve of the war. At
that moment a strike (that is, a revo-
lution) is less likely to be possible.
In reality, either the revolution,
with general strike as one of its
phases, will develop from the class
struggle and will thus make war i'm
possible, or a new war will sharpen
the class struggle and result in gen.
eral strike and revolution. In this
question, no serious revolutionist can
take formal obligations upon himself.
Quite another thing for a political
charlatan. He can juggIe with the
general strike, uprising, general boy
colt, and war, like clown with his
tin plates.
AS if to expose it's naked reformist
nature to the very end, the Amster-
dam Congress decided to set the 21st
Of September as a day of protest
against the war" Woe to militarisml
But, pray, the reader will say, the
working class already has a day Of
protest against militarism-the list
of May. But the trouble is that the
1st of May falls on a Sunday only
once in seven years! So that in order
to protest" on the LIST of May against
war, one must strike, enter into con-
fiict with the bourgeoisie. This is
the reason why Amsterdam transferred
its protest to the third Sunday in
September. This formidable protest
will take such form that no one will
even notice it. One must add that the
Congress committed the central or
CARNATIONS of the separate countries
to transfer the protest to the 2Sth Of
July, the day on which Jaures was
assassinated.
By happy foresight of the cal
ender, this day falls this year also
on Sunday. Next year on the ami.
yersary of the death of Jaures, it will
not be necessary to protest, but
there will remain the third Sunday in
September! Sunday will always re-
main Sunday! The final denial of the
LIST of May as holiday is the only
new word of the Amsterdamers in
their struggle against the dangers of
war
The following are the general con-
illusions from the "anti-militarist" de-
cisions of the congress of the Am
sterdam International: 1t is necessary

with greater effort, more persistently,
more systematically than ever before,
to make it clear to the working
masses that the Amsterdamers trail
torously betray them in the most
fundamental acute question of war.
The prescriptions of the Amsterdam
Congress are but political narcotic
in the service of capitalistic militar-
ism. 1t is in the position of the Am
sterdamers that the main danger of
war is rooted. To destroy this posi-
ton, to deprive it of the confidence
Of the masses, is to disarm the bour-
geoisie and arm the proletariat. This
is the last task that we must fulfill.
