MORE CHILDREN STEADY
EMPLOYED IN INDUSTRY

Figures recently issued by the
Children's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor empha-
size the necessity for quick action on
the child labor amendment now be-
fore congress.
The report indicates that child la
Dor is on the increase, and confirms
the results of previous Investigations.
According to the bureau, of "a cities
furnishing statistics of employment
certificate issuance in 1928, 20 re-
ported an increase in the number of
children under 16 entering regular
employment for the first time during
the calendar year 1928 as compared
with 1922. In these "a cities the
number of Ia and 15-year-old children
receiving first regular employment
certificates was 1886 in 1922 and
9O,166 in 1928.
In 19 of the cities reporting there
was an increase Of at least 20 per
cent and in 9, the increase was ap-
proximately so per cent.
In view of the alarming increase of
child labor, there is no excuse for
congress delaying favorable action on
the child labor amendment. Now is
the tine for every man and women
opposed to the exploitation of chill
dren to let congress know that the
nation demands an end to child slav-
cry in mill, mine and factory.

In 1906 he entered the activities of
the general trade union movem .nL by
being elected a vice-president of the
American Federation of Labor.
Because of Mr.. Valentines moral
courage, clear-headed grasp of the
problems affecting the molders
union and his personality, he has ex-
erted marked influence on the trade
union movement as a whole, as well
as upon the molders' organization.
He was successful TO a marked de-
gree in bringing the union and foun-
drymen into agreement upon serious

OF MOLDERS
RETIRES FROM SERVICE

CINCINNATI, April 1S.-Joseph
F. Valentine, who has just resigned
as president of the international
Molders' union of North America
being succeeded by Michael ]. Keugh
has a langs record Of service to organ
lied moIders.
He is a Pacific coast man and was
initiated in Local Union 164 of San
Francisco in 1879. He has retained
his active membership in that local
union ever since. He first became
prominent during the great molders'
strike in San Francisco in 1880. He
was in charge of the strike when the
molders' convention met in Detroit,
Mich, and although a delegate, was
prevented by the strike from attend
ing. The convention elected him vice
president of the international organ
ization.
Late in 1890, Mr.. Valentine began
field work for the molders' and quick
ly gave evidence of his ability as an
executive organizer. He soon won
the confidence and respect not only of
the union membership but of many
foundrymen. When President Martin
Fox resigned in 1903, Mr.. Valentine
was elected to succeed him, serving
81 years until his resignation a few
days ago.

dent and president, all of the major

LOCAL UNIONS MUST

CAMPAIGN POLICY
NO POLITICAL CAMPAIGN Pos
sIBLE UNLESS UNIONS SUP
PORT IT FINANCIALLY
Victories Are Also Impossible If Citi-
zens Do Not Register and
Vote

The cry for a third political party
is having no effect on the executive
officers of the American Federation
of Labor. There are two factions
that would like to see organized labor
launch a third party. One of these is
the group that fears the power of the
non-partisan policy, and the second
group is composed of those that fail
to see the advantages derived from
the non-partisan policy.
The first group knows that it is al
most impossible to build national
parties and that new parties have
practically no power for years at
least. The second group honestly
thinks that more can be accomplished
thru a party than there can thru Of
ficials elected on party tickets al
ready in the field.
The executive board of the A. F.. of
/. has addressed a communication to
all international, national, state and
central bodies and local unions set
ting forth the results of the 1922
elections, and again calling upon af-
filiated unions to support the nom
partisan policy, and asking for funds
TO carry on during the 1924 elections.
1t says in part:
Campaign Expenses Small
While the nor. partisan campaign
brought many Victories to labor and
the people. the National Non-Parti-
san Political COMMITTEES was ham,
pered by the lack of necessary funds.
In many districts more effective work
could have been dsne Sars .sdffisieut
funds available. It would be danger
Gus not to give this subject the most
careful consideration, as failure to
finance the next campaign will make
it possible for the reactionaries to
gain their ends through insidious pro-
paganda that could not be counter
acted"
Less than $4,000 was contributed by
the trade union movement in the 1922
campaign. Still the results achieved
were the greatest every accomplished
in any year since an organized effort
was made to carry out non-partisan
political policy.
Having this subject under advise
ment the Portland convention unan-
imously declared:
"That each national and interna-
tional and directly affiliated organi-
zation impress upon its individual
membership the vital necessity of
providing ample and sufficient means
for carrying on the work of the
American Federation of Labor Ma
tional Non-Partisan Political cam
paign, and that to this end each urge
upon it's members the desirability of
individually contributing money to
this fund"

The good people the District thoroughly aroused over

Quite naturally there will be false alarms and disposition
to meddlesomeness the part of people, but if
message out Of twenty yields such fine results the
mentioned above much good will have been accomplished
Comparatively few people know the telephone number Of
police headquarters Of the police stations throughout
and police precincts wouldn't it be good idea for the police
department have cards printed giving precise information
where there telephoneeft by officers will do their
best to interest every and in acting promptly?

those that lost will impress the public fastening in their
memories the telephone number numbers be called
The cost Of printing these cards would be exorbtant
Their being placed in homes would be matter Of few
weeks or months.
Nothing but result from the experiment of
cide appeal by the police department for the help of the
public to make Washington safer and better city live in
There could also be worked closer cooperation between
the police and fire departments in the direction The
efficient in handling fires They always to what is
going They well posted to happenings in the
neghborhoods Of the various fire department quarters It
quite natural that fremen should feel that the detection and
capture Of criminals their business as good citizens
they want TO the observed order
telephone messages between fire department and police
headquarters would aid in keeping the criminal element
alarmed.
Throughout the business section Of Washington are large
numbers Of private watchmen and guards who might also
render valuable assistance to the police department if their
aid requested Every Government building is supplied
with watchmen who things going outside their estab

Close cooperation between all these elements and the police
