Slave Power Used Supreme Court
 For Own Ends, Historian Says

On February 12, 1886, the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the Congress of the United States met to listen to an address on the life and character of the mar tyred President, by George Bancroft, the noted historian.
 In his address Mir. Bancroft analysed the historical struggle for the abolition of chattel slavery i'll the United States and the development in the forepart of the last century of new school. of politicians who said that slavery was not evil but good" and who sought to de- strov the established line in the terri tories between freedom and slavery
 Coming down to the eigh teen-fifti $, MT. Bancroft charged that slave owners and their politicians determined to use the Supreme Court of the United States to carry their end and used Chief Jus tice Fancy and the Dred Scott decision as means. Mr. Bancroft said:
 Our meeting today is, as it were at the grave, in the presence of eternity and the truth must be uttered in sober ness and sincerity. In a great republic as was observed more than two thou sand years ago, any attempt to overturn the state owes its strength to aid from some branch of the government. The Chief Justice of the United States, with out any necessity or occasion, volun- teered to come to the rescue of the theory of slavery; and from this court there lay no appeal but to the bar, of humanity and history. Against the Con- stitution, against the memory of the na- ton, against previous decision, against a series of enactments, he decided that +he slave is property; that slave prop erty is entitled to no less protection than any other property; that the Constitu- ton upholds it in every territory against any act of local legislature, and even against Congress itself sor, as the Pres ident fer that term tersely promulgated the saying, Kansas is as much slave States as South Carolina or Georgia slavery, by virtue of the Constitution, exists in every territory The munich pal character of slavery being thus taken away, and slavery properly de- creed to be sacred" the authority of the courts was invoked to introduce it by the comity of law into States where slavery had been abolished, and in one of the courts of the United States a judge pronounced the African slave trade legitimate, and numerous and powerful advocates demanded its res toration

MERE BABIES LABOR
 IN COTTON FIELDS

Under the Texas law no child IS too young to work in cotton fields, accord ing to statements in a pamphlet issued by the United States children's bureau.
 While 1t is generally true that the supervision of their parents at children working on farm work under tasks which need not involve danger or un- due hardship and which may have a distinct educational value, 1t is import ant that consideration be given to the extent to which rural child labor does involve long hours, physical strain and serious interference with education" the pamphlet states
 It IS shown that cotton picking in Texas involves considerable exposure to cold and dampness, as well<as to heat, inasmuch as 1t lasts from late August to early September into Mo- vember or December, period during which thermometers climb to 90 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 interrupted period of weeks and months. Day after day IS spent in the fields, the children work ing long hoars under considerable pres sure. Inexperienced pickers who have not acquired the knack of grasping between the sharp, dry carpe1s of the burr without touching them, are likely oh xl. of the day
 Some of the cotton plants grow shoulder high, with cotton bolls nearly all the way to the ground Little chil- 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 an demptied.
 Little children often carry flour sacks or other small bags instead of the full sized cotton sacks"
 It is shown that babies three years old work in the cotton fields. The bu- reau representatives say:
 Working 12 hours, six-year-old girl, who had begun field work at the age of four, picked 30 pounds day, and four-year-o1d twins in the same family working beside their mother in the field put into her bag on an aver age of 12 to Is pounds day"
 Cotton Dickers are paid on an aver age of $2 per 100 pounds.

Among the tributes that future histo- rians will pay to the part that workers played in the history of America will be their insistence, from Colonial times that the children of the poor be pro- 'vided with schools by the State. While it is evident that economic prosperity for the head of the family is necessary so that his children may go to school l1l- stead of the factory there must be pub lie schools for the children of workers to go to. Not only free schools, for rich and poor, but high schools and col leges are providing free eslucation to our children today.
 The modern conception of free, tax supported, compulsory system of educa- ton has resulted from the champion ship of this democratic idea by orga- nized labor. Daniel Webster echoed the views of organized labor when he said:
 Open the doors of the school-house to all the children of the land. Let no man have the excuse of poverty for not educating his offspring Place the means of education within his reach, and If he remain in ignorance be 1t his own re- proach On the diffusion of education among the people rests the preservation and perpetuation of our free institu- tions"
 Education Week, just closed, was par ticipated in by organized labor in every city and State because no group in so- ciety is more interested in the training of youth, in modern, well-equipped pub lie schools Labor IS not new convert to education, for it was pioneer in laying the foundations for our present admirable system of public education. Our present wonderful public school system Is taken as a matter of course today, but the corner stones were laid nearly one hundred years ago, when ed well to do, and the right of suffrage was restricted to the few The masses were compelled to get along as best they could Naturally, the desire for bet ter opportunity for their children came from the workers. It was fitting that organized labor should take the initia- tive to promote the public school system.
 The first record that we have IS con tained in the minutes of the first gen- eral meeting of the Philadelphia Work ingmen's Party, composed of delegates from the trades unions of that city, held August II, 1926, urging that system of education be adopted that would as sure adequate schooling to workers

JAPANESE NOT WRONCED BY US.
 EXCLUSION ACT

Providence, R. l., Nov. 2o.-In an ad- dress in this city, Dr. Yusuki Tsurmi leader of the Liberal party in Japan expressed the belief that the recent pas sage of the Oriental exclusion act by congress, was "inexplcable" The Far East statesman adopted the general policy of Japaneses and their friends in the United States by implying that the act is aimed specifically at the Japanese, rather than every country whose nationals are ineligible to citizen ship in the United States
 In this propaganda there is no attempt to cha''-cnge the right of the United Scedtes to say who shall be admitted but objection is raised to ''the method em- ployed."
 In other words, the Japanese and their friends do not object to exclusion legislation provided 1t does not exclude, as was the case with the gentlemen s agreement"
 That agreement, negotiated by Presi- dent Roosevelt in 1907, is the only in stance where the regulation of immi- grafton was taken out of the hands of congress. Japan pledge to check fur ither immigration to this country Under the agreement, however, relatives and wives of Japaneses now here continued to arrive with the resultant multiplca- ton of population.
 Congress then assumed its prorogative last spring and despite protests by the administration, passed a law which de bars from this country those who can not acquire citizenship.
 This is no new policy For 134 years the United States has limited the privi- iege of naturalization to the white race. This law has remained unchanged, and the United States supreme court has re- gently held that 1t also applies to the Japanese.
 The "gentlemen's agreement was special legislation in favor of the Japa- |nese and against other Oriental peoples The new law, which Japan now objects to, places that country on the same basis as other countries of the Far East
 That Japan accepts the exclusion theory is shown by her own policy of debarring Chinese and Koreans from Japan.
 A clear understanding of Japanese ex- cluion by the United States is made diff hcult by the jingoistic policy of group in Japan, who are aided in America by group of sentimentalists and by busi- ness men who maintain commercial re lations in Japan and who care nothing for the profound social and economic issues involved

Moreover, the Chief Justice in his elaborate opinion, announced what had rever been heard from any magistrate oi Gree or Rome; what was unknown to civil law, and canon law, and feudal l>w, and common law, and constitution al jaw; unknown to Jay, to Rutledge, Ellsworth and Marshall-that there are slave races The spirit of evil Is in tensely logical. Having the authority of lowed the earlier example of a sixth, and opened the way for reducing the free negro to bondage; the migrating free negro became slave If he but en- enth; and an eighth, from its extent and soil, and mineral resources des- tined to incalculable greatness, closed its eyes on its coming prosperity, and enacted, as by Taney's dictum it had the right to do, that every free black man who would live within its limits must accept the condition of slavery for h,mself and his posterity.
 "Or ly one step more remained to be taken. Jefferson and the leading states men of his day held fast to the idea that the enslavement of the African was socially, morally and politically wrong. The new school was founde1 exactly upon the opposite idea; and they resolved, first, to distract the Democra- tic Party, for which the Supreme Court had now furnished the means, and then to establish a new government, with ne gro slavery for it's corner store, as so- cially, morally, and politically right
 As the preside ntial election drew on, one oi the great traditional parties did not make its appearance; the other reeled as it sought to preserve its old position, and the candidate who most nearly represented its best opinion, driven by patriotic zeal, roamed the country from end to end to speak for union, eager, at least to confront its enemies, yet not having hope that it would find its deliverance through him. The storm rose to a whirlwin who should allay its wrat? The most ex- perienced statesmen of the country had failed; there was no hope from those who were great after the flesh; could relief come from one whose wisdom was like the wisdom of little children?

Economic Research Bureau Investigates Growth of American
 Trade Unions

By International Labor News Service
 New York City, Nov. 2o-Ah exhaus- tive investigation of the growth of American trade unionism has just been completed by the National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc, which was or ganized in 1o2O>to make impartial stu dies of economic, social and industrial problems, John F. Frey, editor of the Holders Journal and president of the Ohio State Federation of Labor, is pres9 ident of tie bureau, and its directors by appointment include Hugh Frayne, New York representative of the American Federation of Labor.
 The data reveals the extent and char acter of changes in the membership of American trade unions in the last A years. Data from more than 300 diff ferent sources have been assembled. The membership of every union of import arce has been traced year by year. In the period covered, 1880 to 1923 inclu- sive, this means in some cases, from the birth to the death of particular union
 How many unions have surveyed the vicissitudes of the last four decades, how many have gone out of existence, and how many have grown with the years, will be presented in detail in the report.
 A birdseye. picture of the American trade union movement, from the stormy days of its origin, through periods of prosperity and depression, up to the pre- sent time, will thus be available in the form of absolute figures of membership and relative numbers for comparison with other industrial factors
 This study was undertaken as one of series of inquiries into the social and economic effects of chagning conditions of business.
 As progress was made in the collec- ton of materials, it became clear that inc treatment of these materials should not be restricted to discussion of the influence of the business cycle on the In this range of social phenomena, fac tors other than business prosperity or depression sometimes play controlling role Public policy, development in foreign countries, great strikes, all exert a powerful influence on the rise and de- cline in the membership of trade unions
 The detailed facts of the changes in the numbers affiliated with labor orga- nizations and their analysis have not up till now been found in any singl econ venient place For these reasons there
