dren Of ignorant and selfish parents.
Moreover, il parents abuse or neglect
their children, the state has every
legal and moral right to compel those
parents to give their children fair
chance at the good things of life.
What the National Manufacturers
Association is really afraid of is in
reference not between the parent and
the child but between certain greedy
manufacturers and the cheap child
labor they want to exploit.
"The argument that the law might
create an additional bureau and more
expense is answered by the fact that
there is bureau already in existence
which has had charge Of enforcing the
Federal Child Labor Acts. The adj
ministration of the Act Of 1916 in
| force for nine months costs 900
To argue that the we are unwilling
to pay such a trifling sum for the
protection and development Of child
hood in backward states is an insult
to the citizenship of this Republic. If
| laws are needed we are ready to pay
for them.
"a final objection to the Amend
ment is that Congress cannot be
trusted with this power. Certain in
terests today are seeking to discredit
representative government, Congress
and democracy. These interests are
afraid of any honest legislative body
They hope that by destroying public
confidence in representative govern
ment by the people they may remain
unmolested in practices injurious to
the public. Congress is becoming
more and more responsive to the will
of the people. These interests know
this, and seek to keep up the bars
that block the road to progress. TIC
secure these selfish interests, to con-
tinue to exploit childhood, and to
block social progress, these interests
do not hesitate to try to destroy pub
lie confidence in our republican insti-
tutions on which this republic rests.
81 now quote the Senate debate
from the Congressional Record OF
Jan. 8, 1924 The National Associa-
tion Of Manufacturers as much has no
special interest in children except to
make money out of their labor. 1t is
no discredit to it to say that it exists
for the purpose Of promoting the fl
nancial interests of its members. Its
opposition to the child labor amend
ment is sordidly and sickeningly self
ish. Doubtless there are among its
members many high minded men, men
with hearts in bosoms who do not coin
cash out Of the lives robbed Of the
joys and opportunities of childhood
who know no more about its present
hypocritical pretenses about being
concerned for the sanctity of the
American home than they did about
the employment Of Mulhall Ca notori-
Gus lobbyist.) Here and there some
conservative minds welded to the past
regardless of the march Of events and
+ the revolution in industry find them
selves unable to accept the amend
ment, but the driving force behind the
opposition is the desire to exploit the
children of the nation!
"Within the next few days, the Ohio
Legislature will vote on the ratifica-
tion of the Amendment. All citi-
zens should write their representa-
tive and senator that our Legislature
may know that the people of Ohio
want the childhood of America pro-
tected."

MOTHER JONES
Is Still Helping the Working Man
to Fight His Battles
(By Federated Press)

Los Angeles-Reminisce of a
spirit that suffered hardships and
made sacrifices to organize the Amer
lean labor movement, Mother Jones
belied her 85 years when she held a
capacity audience for nearly two
hours in talk before the Los Angeles
Civil Liberties union.
In her opening statement, deliver
ed in a voice that still rings, she said
she belongs "to the class that is rob
bed, knows it is robbed and is fighting
to stop that robbing," Mother Jones
stood apart from the great mass Of
workers for whom she has given a
lifetime of service in her clear un-
derstanding Of the class struggle and
her scathing denunciation, not only of
the oppressors of labor, but of the
"pie-counter grabbers> in the labor
movement at well.
That the spirit of revolt that in
spirit organizers of the labor move
ment is not dead was evidenced when
the audiences cheered as no audience
here before when Mother Jones
voiced sentiments such as the follow
ing:
We have no freedom now. We
never did have any freedom and
we never will have any freedom
until the workers are willing to
fight for freedom.
don't dine with the Civic Fed
Grafton. | want to wipe it out of
existence 1t is an ulcer and if
you workers want to save Amer
lea you must notify your labor
officials to stop feasting with the
Civic Federation because that is
where plots against the workers
are laid.
If you want to know how i'm
beetles and criminals are made
investigate the child labor factor
les. When children are crucified
in infancy you cannot expect
good citizenship Of them.
If you want to save America
you mustn't trust your leaders
you must lead yourselves.
In closing, Mother Jones gave her
version of the visit to Pres. Coolidge
that was interpreted as an indorse-
ment of his candidacy, saying she
went to plead for prosecuted work
ers. Typical of her attitude toward
all who criticize her, she said she re-
served the right to visit whom she
pleased and had no apologies to make
for having had her picture taken with
the president.

For this reason we are sending
the four friends down into the
manhole to give their opinion and
establish my affidavit as to Collins
identification.
sTf their views coincide with
mine, jury which the coroner
will form will pass formal verdict
and we will tumble rocks into the
shaft. making it an eternal monu

rescue shaft leading to Collins and
officially pronounced him dead.

to the spot where Collins lies Is toe
dangerous for further attempts al

Governor Fields of Kentucky, en-
tered the shaft for final inspection
preliminary to abandonment of res
