WASHINGTON PRODUCTS
AT HAWAIIAN OCT. FAIR

Washington products and Washing
ton manufacturers will participate in
the Hawaiian Territorial fair to be
held in Honolulu, October 2O-25,
1924. The Manufacturer Associa-
ton of Washington is working on a
plan to take over entirely one of the
fair buildings in the commercial
group which will provide space for
the exhibit for all kinds of Washing
ton products. The produce men are
planning an exhibit of apples, the
farmers to show agricultural prod
ucts, the jobbers their lines, the fl
nancial interests the bank facilities
offered, and the manufacturer will
call attention to the products such as
the Islands are buying in substantial
quantities.
One of Washington's packing
houses now has a branch factory in
Honolulu, Tacoma furniture and wood
working establishments have been
doing business there for many years,
box shocks, -four, wearing apparel,
fertilizers, machinery, and in fact,
some 3O-odd principal items, such as
are made in the state Of Washington,
are being purchased in values
amounting to millions of dollars an
nuaIIy.

The time involved to reach the Ha-

to some of the principal points in
Alaska, the trade with which is en-
phasized by the commercial inter
ests of the Pacific Northwest. The
present program of the manufac-
turers is to focus the attention of
the Hawiians upon Washington, meet
them personally, and open and deepen
the channels of trade between the
Islands and Puget Sound.
President John T. Lund, of the
Manufacturers association, will lead
the delegation in person and will OK
hibit full line of lead products of
which the Islands are buying STAT,

BY c. w. HART,
University of Iowa.

One child in every twelve in the
United States is compelled to work
for living. In 1920, at the time
of the last census, 1,063,858 children
between the ages of 10 and 10 years
were gainfully employed. Were
these children marching two abreast,
four feet apart, and at rapid pace
for eight hours a day, it would take
them II days to pass your door.
And in some communities condi-
tons are much worse than is indi-
Gated by these figures for the nation
as whole. In Tennessee, for ex-
ample, one out of every six children
is employed contrary to the standards
set by the federal government; in
Arkansas and Georgia, one out of
every five; and in South Carolina and
Mississippi, one out of every four.
In some cities, also, located in more
progressive states, employment of
children runs equally as high.
Were this labor light in character
and in no sense an interference with
the normal preparation of children
for the activities of adult life, little
concern would be felt. But such is
not the case. Thousands of them
work eight, nine, ten, and even IL
hours a day at deadening, monoto-
nous labor in mines, factories and
sweat shops. Investigations by the
children's bureau and other disinter-
ested organizations have discovered
unbelievable conditions of alarming
extent. Circumstances clearly war

THE CHILD LABOR PROBLEM

rant the present widespread discus
sion and maturing public sentiment
as to the need for some adequate
means of control. 1t is indeed a
short-sighted carelessness which
starts out million citizens with the
handicap of a stunted education il
not actual illiteracy, which begins to
manufacture on so wholesale a scale
the incompetent adult labor supply
which a million depleted worked-oui
children must create. An "ampu.
tated childhood" is a national trag.
edy; it is both uneconomic and in
human.
That we can not await state action
to conserve national welfare by con-
serving to children the values of
normal childhood is evidenced by the
discrepancies among state laws and
the consequent high percentage of
employed children in many of the
more backward states. AS was
pointed out by the judiciary COM
mittee of the house of representa-
tives in its report upon the proposed
child labor amendment to the federal
constitution, in some states a single
industry is so powerful as to prevent
the enactment of a child labor law

cording to the same authority, man.

current period of prosperity, the
number of employed children, exclu.
lsive of vacation employment, has

markedly increased. Studies by the
United States Children's Bureau show
increases for 1928 over 1922 in %
cities ranging from to 675 per cent.
In these years regulation of child
labor has been in the hands of the
states, since the federal law was
annulled by the court.
The patent fact is that states have
been unable to protect their children
and our future citizens from the evil
effects of industrial exploitation.
Since the welfare of future genera
tions is the primary concern of the
entire republic, the republic should
therefore have the power to conserve
that welfare.
Twice in the recent past, the
American people have tried to work
through the agency of their federal
government to control the labor of
children. A law was passed in 1916,
utilizing the federal power to regu-
late interstate trade in an attempt
to prohibit the employment of chill
dren except under socially desirable
circumstances. Again in 1919 con-
gress worked it's power to tax for the
same purpose. Both laws were held
to be unconstitutional by the supreme
court and no doubt rightly so.
Now, a resolution proposing a
child labor amendment to the consti-
tuition was passed by the house OF
representatives, April 26, by a vote
of 297 to SO, or So more than the
two-thirds required for passage. A
identical amendment was passed by
the senate June 2, by vote of 81 tc
20, or five more than the necessary
two-thirds. The amendment reads:
Section i. The congress shall have
power to limit, regulate and prohibit
the labor of persons under 10 years
of age.
section 2. The power of the sew
eral states is unimpaired by this ar
ticle, except that the operation of
state laws shall be suspended to the
extent. necessary to give effect to
Legislation enacted by the congress"
This proposed amendment is now
being submitted to the various states
for ratification or rejection. If rati-
fled by three-fourths of them, con-
gress will then have power to regu-
late child labor.
There was a time when the world
sat at the feet of an old man. All
arrangements were made, all acts
were designed to minister to the con-
venience, the welfare, even the lust
of the patriarch. Now the world sits
at the feet of little child. Each
Institution, every activity is APP
proved or condemned in terms of its
eternal effects upon that child and
its future. May the people of Iowa,
acting through their legislature, CO.
operate with the other most enlight-
ened members of this commonwealth
of states in securing by means of this
amendment the same opportunities for
all children that they desire and pro-
vide for their own. May it be said
of us, in a very real sense, a little
child has led US.

STILL LEADS
IN VALUE OF OUTPUT

laundering still leads any other
manufacturing group in the state in
annual value of output, but it no
longer holds the predominating posi-
ton it once had. The value of manu-
featured products in the state, accord
ing to the 1920 census, was $780,
1884; the value of lumber and
timber products was $234,8S1 900;
the value of fish products was $l5,-
860,141. Deduct combined lumber
and fish from the total and there re-
mains $558,S81, 943. Further evil
dence of the value of the diversified
industries to the state is strikingly
shown when the biggest wheat year
in the state is taken at $89,640,000
then adding the apples at 1929, 400
and putting all the lumber and fish
at 34,8S1, 900, and subtracting the
total for wheat, apples, fish ard lum-
Der from the total for the diversified
industries and there remains still an
excess value of the diversified indus
tries amounting to $169, 211 1902. The
value of the diversified industries of
the state is nearly twice that of lun-
Der, and nearly 80 per cent more than
wheat, apples, fish and lumber COM
bined.
The growth of the cereal and -four
milling group is a good illustration
of the way diversified industries are
gaining ground in the state. In
ten years from 1910 to 1920, it in
creased from II to 81 million dollars,
reaching close to value returned for
lumber ten years prior. Dairy prod
ucts from to Is millions, canning
and preserving from 9 to q mil
lions. These facts all point to in
creasing population, growing pay
rolls, development of the industries
and the widening of market territory
