ran away through back door to
New York.
A Real Breakfast
I asked the hotel manager If he
would give the children breakfast
and charge it up to- the Senator, as
we had an invitation to breakfast
that morning with him. He gave us
a private room and he gave those
children such breakfast as they
had never had in all their lives.
We marched down to Oyster Bay
but the president refused to see us
and he would not answer my letters.
But our march had done its work.
We had drawn the attention Of the
nation to the crime of child labor.
And while the strike of the textile
workers in Kensington was lost and
the children driven back to work, not
long afterward the Pennsylvania
Legislature passed child labor law
that sent thousands of children homo
from the mills, and kept thousands
of others from entering the factory
until they were fourteen years of
age.

up with living children the horrors

Higher Education
I called on the mayor Of Prince
ton and asked for permission to
speak opposite the campus Of the
university. 1 said I wanted to speak
on higher education. The mayor
gave me permission. A great crowd
gathered, professors and students
and the people. Here's a text book
on economies, 1 said. pointing to a
little chap, James Ashworth, who
was ten years old and who was
stopped over like an old man from
carrying bundles of yarn that
weighed seventy-five pounds. He

TIN the spring Of 1903 I went
to KensingtonI Pa, where
- $4,000 textile workers were
on strike. OF this number at least
10000 were little children. The work
ers were striking for more pay and
shorter hours.
Every day little children came into
union headquarters, some with their
hands off, some with thumb missing,
some with their fingers off at the
knuckle. We assembled a number
of boys and girls one morning in
Independence Park and from there
we arranged to parade with banners
to the City Hall, where we would
hold a meeting.
Crowd Gathers
A great crowd gathered in the
public square in front Of the city
hall. l put the little boys with their
fingers off and hands crushed ard
manned on a platform. The report
ers quoted my statement that Phill-
delphia mansions were built On the
broken bones and quivering hearts
&Mhildren. The Philadelphia papers
VA the New York papers got into
a Squabble with each other over the
question. The universities discussed
it. Preachers began talking. That
was what 1 wanted; public atten-
ton on the subject Of child labor.
The matter quoted down for a
while and I concluded the people
needed stirring up again. I decided
that the children and I would go on
a tour l asked some Of the parents
If they would let me have their little
. boys and girls for a week or ten
days. They consented. The chill
dren carried knapsacks on their
backs in which We're a knife and
fork, tin cup and plate. We took
along a wash boiler in which to cook
the food on the road. One little fell
low had a drum and another had a
fife. That was our band. We car
ried banners.
On to Roosevelt
We started from Philadelphia,
where we held a great mass meet
ing. decided to go with the
children to see President Roosevelt
to ask him to have Congress pass
law prohibiting the exploitation of
childhood. The children were very
happy having plenty to eat, taking
baths in the brooks and rivers every
day. Marshall Sweeny and I would
go ahead to the towns and arrange
