Washington.-"Ind Industry is reach
ing out for farm children. Cotton
mills. knitting mills, shoe factories
and garment factories are moving
into the smaller cities and the coun-
try towns Labor is cheaper in the
country, because the potential labor
supply is unorganized and inexperi-
enced in self-protection."
The above is part of statement by
United States Senator Capper, of
Kansas, who declares that Child labor
becomes the farmers problem not
with reference to the work of his own
children on his own farm, but with
reference to their work in the fac
tory"
Senator Capper points out that the
new movement is one phase of the
decentralization of industry Henry
Ford talks about-and Mr.. Ford is
himself building factories in tle coun.
try in order, he says, to utilize farm
labor in the winter time.
''The garment industries of New
York are moving upstate" Senator
Capper said The textile industrie:
of New England are moving south.
How does this affect the farmer

Shall the experience of industrial

NEED FOR FIGHT

Attention has so frequently been
directed to the fight for the child
labor amendment that perhaps some
trade unionists are beginning to
think that too much stress has been
laid on the subject.
Evidence accumulates, however,
that the friends of the amendment
are facing the fight of their lives
and that the danger to the amendment
has not been over-em emphasized
Greedy manufacturers are resorting
to every means in their power to pre-
judice the nation against the amend.
ment and the result of the Massachu-
sets election shows what they can do
! They are using the farmers organi
cations as their catspaws to rake
their chestnuts out of the fire.
There is a great educational worl
to be done to counteract the poison
Gus and lying propaganda of the foe:
of the amendment and the fight fo,
the children needs the unqualified
support of every trade unionist an,
every believer in the right of the chill,

A LABOR PAPER

Like other papers which are not
especially subsidized by some interest
or corporation, labor paper depends
upon advertising in order to exist.
Advertisers who use any paper re-

Advertisers who use labor paper
show their desire to make a labor

Lula Heptinstall Jackson

Lula Heptinstall Jackson,
another of. those gentle, modest,
friendly and sweet-spirited
souls that adorn the world with
her happy, radiant smile, has
gone on to the happy Summer
land to which so many of her
dearest friends and loved ones
had already blazed the way. She
was one of Gods brave, patient
and noble women who, during
her lifetime had suffered much,
but whose unfailing faith and
Christian courage inspired many
a life to look up with hope and
determination. The uplifting in
fiuence of such life cannot be
measured by human standards.
She cheerfully gave her life to
all good causes, and to know
her friendly heart, her buoyant
spirit and her lofty ideals meant
to everyone a larger sympathy
and an enrichment of life.
From her childhood she was a
devoted member of the Metho-
dist Church, and gave freely OF
her life and talent to religious
work. She was reared in religl-
Gus atmosphere. Her grand
father, John Wesley Heptin-
STALL large land and
slave owner on big
Southern plantation, as well
as a local minister of the North
Carolina Conference, was man
of great religious strength and
piety, with an intense love for
home and an exalted reverence
for God and the Church, and
was greatly loved throughout
Warren and Halifax Counties.
Her father, John Frank Jackson,
who came from Alabama. was
one of the old time singing-mas-
ters who loved and knew how tc
sing the old-time songs of Zion
while her mother was a woman
of great energy and remarkable
intellectual ability. The daugh-
ter was therefore brought up il
a home of music and literature,
and after graduation with
