MERE BABIES
LABOR N COT
TON FIELDS

Washington. Julg f9.-Under the
Texas law no child is too young 20
work in cotton fields, according to
statements in d pamphlet issued by
the United States children's bureau.
While it is generally true that
children working on farm work under
the supervision of their parents al
tasks which need not inyl0ve danger
or undue hardship and whihe may
have a distinct educational value, il IL
important that consideration be given
to the extent 10 which rural child
labor does involve long hours, physi-
cal strain and serious interference
with education the pamphlet states.
Il is shown that cotton picking in
Texas involves considerable exposure
TO cold and dampness, as well as TO
heat, inasmuch as it lasts from late
August or early September into No
yenber or December, period during
which thermometers climb to 80 de-
grees and fall to 20 degrees above
zero.
Unlike most farm work the labor
done BY children IN these cotton areas,
extends over an uninterrupted period
OF weeks and months. Day after day
is spent in the fields, the children
working long hours under conisdefa-
Die pressure. inexperienced pickers
who have not acquired the knack Of
PrasDing the cotton so that the fing-
ers take hold between the sharp, dry
carpets Of the burr without touching
them, ale likely to have very sore
fingers at the end Of the day.
Some Of the cotton plants grow
shoulder high, with Gotten bolls nearly
all the way to the ground. Little
can pick without STOPPING,
but older children and adults have to
stoop or move along on their knees.
The worker puts the cotton into
big sack which he drags along by a
shoulder strap. Full bags are carried
to the wagon, weighed and emptied.
little children often carry flour
sacks or other small bags instead Of
The full-sized cotton sacks"
II is shown that babies years old
work in the cotton fields The bureau
representatives say:
Working II hours, a 6-year-old
girl, who had begun field work at the
age of 4, picked 50 pounds a day, and
1-yeat.old twins in the same family
working beside their mother in the
field put into her bag ON an average
II or ID pounds a day."

EDUCATION IS LAB0R'S need
by FANNIA NJ. COIN
Vice President. Workers Education Bureau of America

The world is tired of the events of the last generation
and especially of the calamity that has befalen mankind
the last ten years. Tens of millions of human beings
crushed by our persentday industrial and social organ
Zaton desperate cutlery is heard from many parts of
the globe from men, and children who can not
any longer endure the burden imposed upon them by
present industrial civilization. The human mind is in
search OF solution of its problems conscious of the fact
that the creator and the supporter of the social
institutions and that when these institutions outve them
selves it is within his power to change them to meet
conditions.
Social forces that mold our economic and political in
situations always in play The workers begin to
realize that there great social forces in process
that tend to change form of society," and the question
arises in the minds of many which group is destined to
direct these social forces
Millions of men and women of the working class and
of the professional groups look toward the organized
labor movement the agency destined to bring about
this great historic change and all realize that the first
essential thing to the accomplishment of this change is
that the group that to play the most important part be
prepared morally and intellectually for this historic mis-
SION And the unconscious thought in the minds of many
is: Are the workers. through their unions prepared to
this great historic mssion?" The is the
movement for workers education within the trade unions
Of our country.
The movement for workers education is based on the
conception that education was always the greatest in
fence in lives. Many realize that the object of
educational SYSTEM at present. is to adjust the Individual
to the environment with to perpeuating social
structure it is, with all its destructive influences
But the object of workers education is rather to adj
Just the environment to the needs of modern life.
The aim of the workers educational movement is to
encourage the worker to begin to prepare for the

PITCHING STAFF
 BEST OFFENSIVE
That Gone, Club Loses Its Best
 Weapon

When the pitching staff collapses. ball club loses its best defensive | weapon.
 Few cluhs have ever won a pen. nant without the aid of great pitch ing. It is most necessary over a long campaign of 114 games.
 John McGraw is one of the very few managers who has jockeyed a team to pennant and world series with just ordinary pitching.
 Several times McGraw has upset the dope of the critics who insisted his pitching would fail him in pinch.
 Go back over the records of the pennant winners and world cham pions and the fact stands out when the pitching fails the team invariab bly breaks. -b
 Detroit won pennant in 19O7-0S- o9 with an allstar pitching staff that was backed by much batting strength and fair defense.
 When the late Bill Donovan, George Mullin, Eddie Summers. Ed gar Willetts and Ed killian began to slip, the club did likewise.
 The Chicago Cubs, the big noise of the National league from 1906 to 1911, fell back the moment Overall, Brown. Lundgren, Pfeister and the rest of the staff began to wilt.
 Pitching means much to a pennant

Wlzimantic Quits State League
 After Dropping More Than 5000
Hometown Fans Open in Their Refusal to Support CIub-Hiring Out of Town Players Proves Too Costly.

The support given the Besse-Leland club this season has been very poor and it is a we'll known fact that the club has been losing money at almost
 every game, while hoping that the next week would see things picking up. However, if there be any solace in the information this is not the only state league outfit losing money
 The Wilimantic entry also has gone on the rocks and to such an ex- tent that it has been decided to dis continus the club, the management having dropped over sS,0o0 since May IT. Decision 10 quit the league was made after a referendum vote had been taken among the fans and the decision was 913 to abandon the league and but 2S6 for it. On vote to support an independent ball club the fans voted 904 against and 2o5 for
 The association has lost more than 5000 since May 17 on its Connecti- cut league club ventures or about S40O a game. There is now in the treasury about s2.000. not all of which is available for baseball.
 As the season has seven more weeks to run association officials felt, that the treasury would be exhausted further losses and decided upon the referendum at meeting Monday night.
 The association has fostered base ball here since 1912. With team of home talent money was made in 1919 and 1920, but outside players have created deficits and 1t is said about sS.O0O has been dropped in the last four seasons.

1s.YEAR. OLD TROTTER SETS RECORD
LOCAL FANS HAVE ENOUGH
 GAMES OVER THE WEEKEND
FREAK SCHEDULE IS
 TOUGH ON THE FANS
Enthusiasts in Four Cities Hard
 Hit by Arrangement

New York. July lS.--The present race in the American league prom ises to bs one Of the most thrilling ever staged,
 With the race half over, seven clubs are in the running, the Phlla. delphia Athletics alone appear out- eiassed.
 In the face Of this great race. 'he schedule of the 1924 campaign in the American league Is one Of the most unusual ever drawn np,
 Il is freak schedule that doesn't At in very we'll with the great race, Its peeuliarity lies in tho fact that with the season half over, a number Of clubs have completed their list of games with each other, For instance:
 On July 6 Washington completed It's home schedule Of II games with New York.
 On that date the Washington fans saw the Yankees for the last time. Incidentally Washington has already played eight of its games at New York.
 At this writing the Yankees and Nationals are strong pennant con- tenders, yet only three of the 22 games scheduled between the clubs remain nnplayed.
 That IS unfortunate because the fans in both cities would flock to any series between the two clubs.
 Detroit and Cleveland are great ri- yals. Both are in the running for the American league pennant, yet the fans of these two cities have but It, tie 10 enthuse over as far as seeing these two clubs oppose each other.
 On July Detroit finished its schedule of II games in Cleveland. While Cleveland has only three more games 10 play in Detroit early in September.
 Thus four Of the contending teams, natural rivals, have practically finish ed their season schedule with each other. This is to be regretted in a race that promises 50 many thrills | before the finish.
 The 1924 schedule is certainly | freak one, far from befitting the close race.

winner. When the Boston Braves copped in 1914. superb pitching by Rudolph. Tyler and James made pos sible the clubs unexpected success.
 For three years the "five-star'' pitching staff Of the New York Yankees has dominated the Ameri- can league.
 Once upon . time it consisted of Carl Mays. Bob shawkey, Joe Bush Sam Jones and Waite Hoyt. When Mays passed out Southpaw Herb Pen mock was added to the select circle.
 The Yankees, a club with much power. supplied with great pitch ing staSfD has for three years had the edsV on the American league field.
 Opposing teams faced good pitch- ing in every game against the Yam kees while the New York club in return was up against the same brand of pitching just about half the time.
 Like all great pitching staffs. the 'five-star" combination of the Tanks cannot go on forever. There must finally come a break. When it comes the club will suffer. as have all other winning aggregations.
 The failure of the Tanks to be away out in front at this stage by their usual comfortable margin has some of the experts to be- ieve the pitching staff of the world | champions is cracking.
 True, it has lacked the consistency | ,f former years so far this season, put there is still plenty of dynamite eft in the pitching arms of the men who carry the hope of the New York Americans.
