TINY TOTS TOLL TWELVE
HOURS AMIDST DUST
AND FOUL AIR IN CHINA

international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
How cruelty child workers are ex-
plotted in countries where there is
almost no labor movement or labor
legislation is illustrated by the child
labor situation in China.
The evils of child labor in China
are barred in a report recently made
by commission appointed to investi-
gate child labor conditions in Shang-
hal. The commission found that the
average earnings of unskilled labor
ers in the Shanghai district are not
more than SIS month, while in some
instances they are as low as So
month. The average cost of living
for a man and his wife of the very
poorest class is estimated at SIG
month. AS a result, the great major
ity of Chinese children are put to work
at the earliest age possible. Medical
witnesses before the commission
agreed that the children work under
conditions extremely detrimental to
their bodily and mental welfare.
Tots OF Six At Work
In mills and factories visited by
the commission many children We're
seen at work who could not have been
more than years of age. The hours
of work are usually IL with not more
than l hour off for lunch, and the
children usually have to stand the
whole time they are at work. Most
factories stop for one shift at week
ends and, with this exception and the
customary holidays at the Chinese
New Year work is continuous.
Atmospheric and dust conditions
and sanitation generally are very bad.
The earnings of young children do
not average more than 20 cents, sill
yer, day and in some instances con-
tractors obtain young children from
the country, paying the parents 50
a month for the services of each
child. These children are poorly
housed and fed, and as they receive

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
The accompanying photographs show
fine bust of Samuel Gompers which
was presented by the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union to
the President of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor at the Federation's an
nual convention in Ell Paso, Texas.
President Morris Sigman of the gar
ment workers union, who made the
presentation speech, is shown second
from the right of the photograph
above, with the delegation from his
union. An enlarged photograph of the
bust is shown to the right.
In presenting the bust to President
Gompers, Mr.. Sigman expressed the
thanks and warm appreciation of the
organized garment workers to Mr.
Gompers and all the executives of the
American labor movement for their
help in building up the garment work
ers' union.
I'VE could not find better way of
expressing our deep and sincere APP
probation to President Gompers than
by presenting what you delegates see
before you this moment" said Mr..
Sigman, after the bust had been un-
yelled on the platform by Louis E.
LANCER and Louis PinkOfslxy, delegates
from the international Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union. He continued:
I'VE want President Gompers to see
himself in the way we see him. This
bust represents, in the judgment of
the members of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union, one
of the greatest men that the labor
movement has ever known, and it is
because of this feeling toward Presi-
dent Gompers that we came to the
conclusion to avail ourselves of the
genius of a young, but recognized
artist-recognized as the best artist
in the sculptural world, Moses Dy-
kaar, to build up. this bust of Presi-
dent Gompers, with his fine features
and with broad human heart of
sympathy for all those who suffer in
the labor world and in the commun-
ity in general"
The unwilling of the bust caused a
tremendous and spontaneous outburst
of enthusiasm on the part of the dele
gates. President Gompers was al
most overcome by the intensity of his

no money their condition is practic-
ally one of slavery.
Child TOilers Must Stand
In silk failures most of the en-
ployes are women and young girls,
in a proportion of one child to every
two adults. The children brush the
cocoons, removing the waste and so
exposing the silk thread. This opera
ton is performed over basins of very
hot water with which the fingers of
the children frequently and necessar-
lily come in contact and they are re-
quired to stand the entire time they
are at work. Many of the children
were not more than years old.
The temperature of the workroom
is usually above normal because of
the hot water in the basins, and faint
ing in hot weather is not uncommon.
The children, whose earnings amount
to from 20 to % cents, silver, a day,
are said to present a pitiabIe spec
tacle.
Children in the Shanghai district
are employed in the match factories
in boxing the matches and making up
parcels of boxes, for which as little as
9 copper cents is paid for a days
work. In one large factory visited
by the commission children not more
than 5 years of age were seen to be
working with almost incredible ra-
pidity.
While PHOSPHORUS is used in some
of the match factories, but it is said
that there was a possibility that
native regulations coming into force
next year forbidding the use of phos-
phorous might be observed. No pre-
cautions were taken against the risk
of fire, although it is a special hazard
in this industry. Much of the box
making is home work, mother and
two children being able to finish from
two to three thousand parts of boxes
a day at the rate of coppers per
thousand.
Evils of Factory System
In an appendix to the report the
evils of the factory system as it is
developing in China without adequate
national regulation are summed up as
follows:
Actual overstrain and injury to
life, health and limb of workers, adult
and youthful, but especially to very
young workers, through excessively
long hours without pauses, poisonous
substances, humidity, extremes of

qualification over the token of appre-
citation of his work and paid a warm
tribute to the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union and its work
and accomplishments.

America and in the world, if l can,
than l found it when l entered as a
boy on the field of the industrial and
humane struggle for right" said
President Gompers in ending his re-
marks of appreciation.

now in the headquarters of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in Washing
ton.

a preventative of "this murder for

have no such foul killings as does

over there. Some seem to be of the
opinion that no matter how low a
man or woman has dropped, there is
a chance for redemption. This all
may be true enough. A man who
kills for the money there is in it and
not in revenge for a wrong, zeal or
fancied, would be prevented from
repeating his crime by a we'll ex-
ecuted hanging and the lesson
might be sufficiently strong to deter
some other at-heart murderer to
commit the crime he has in mind
