CHEST PLANS
FORMING
Week of May A the Date
Parade to Be Feature
of Campaign

Plans for the Community Chest
drive to be made the week of May 4,
the being rapidly shaped up by the
committee in charge. On Tuesday
afternoon for more than two hours
the committee on publicity, of which
Walter S. Rowe is chairman, consid-
cred and discussed, many suggested
features and plans for advertising the
drive in such manner as to bring to
every home in Hamilton the story of
the great need for filling the Conf
munity Chest and of the wonderful
work Of the various agencies benefit
ted from the chest.
The lengthy discussion by the COM
mittee was in an effort to hold the
expense of conducting the drive down
to the very minimum, and at the same
time advertise it in such manner as
to make it known and bring the ap-
peal to every one.
The committee decided as a feature
of publicity to put on a parade again
this year, like the one staged two
years ago, in which all the various
agencies will take part, using float
to depict its particular kind of work.
The. committee will meet again to
further it's plans Monday afternoon at
four o'clock in the Chamber Of Com
merce rooms.

SPEARS SPEAKS
To Carpenters at a Big
Meeting on Compensation
Laws

Carpenters Local Union No. 637
held its quarterly meeting last
Thursday night at labor temple. III
ness and absence from the city is the
only excuse accepted for non-attend-
ance at these quarterly meetings, and
consequently there is always jam
at this time. And last Thursday
night was no exception to this rule.
The hall was packed.
Much business was transacted of a
regular and special nature. A va
cancy existing in the office Of vice
president, Joe Gallagher was elected
for the unexpired term.
Everything seems rosy for the
members of the craft these days
there is lots Of work and prospects
of much more.
The matter of the kiddies' summer
camp came up, and in which the men,
bers are much interested and for
which they have volunteered the labor
Of erection. From expressions heard
on all sides the carpenters are anx-
ious to get to the job.
A feature Of the meeting was a
talk made by w. Harry Spears, claims
investigator and district deputy Of the
Ohio industrial commission. Mr..
Spears talk was on the subject Of the
workmen's compensation. He dwelt
at quite some length on the subject,
and in an interesting manner brought
out the many points of the law which
every workman should know. Mr..
Spears had an attentive audience and
the carpenters appreciated the talk
very much.

HOME WORK AID TO
CHILD LABOR EVIL

Albany, N. Y.-Greater restriction
of the manufacture Of articles in the
home is favored by State Industrial
Commissioner Shientag, who declared
that this is one method to cope with
illegal child labor.
The state officials report is based
on findings of the child welfare COM
mission, which has been investigating
the subject for six months. More
than 10000 tenements in which man.
ufacturing is permitted and 2,150
families engaged in this kind Of work,
mostly in New York city, formed the
principal field of the investigation.
"There is no reason why the home
should be used as branch factory or
industrial workshop" said the COM
missioner. He says illegal child la
Dor is the most serious feature OF the
home work system, and although the
number Of children thus employed is
smaller than formerly, no staff of in
spectors, however large, can ade-
quately cope with the problem of ille-
gal child labor as long as manufac-
turing in the home is permitted.
Wages for this home work vary,
the report indicates, and in many in
stances in which the work extends
well into the night, the pay is SO low
as to Justify the term "sweated labor. "

CHAIN PRISONERS

San Bernadino, Cal.-Prisoners in
the convict camp of this county are
subjected to brutal treatment by dep
uty sheriffs, according to affidavits
filed by former prisoners. The story
recalls treatment of prisoners in
Florida convict camps.
One former prisoner in the local
convict camp makes affidavit that he
has seen prisoners handcuffed and
chained to trees and refused food and
water for 48 hours. In another in
stance a prisoner engaged on road
work was beaten until unconscious.
He was brought to the camp, where
he revived. He pleaded in vain for
medical attention. Two boy prison
ers were beaten with sledge hammer
handles, and deep scalp wounds were
opened. The two deputy sheriffs who
used the hammer handles ignored the
boys piteous pleas for mercy
The long affidavit is gruesome
record of brutality by prison guards.
