The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-01-24
Child Labor--A Modern Pestilence

saries of life required by the average
family-that is, the fathers wage
(price Of labor power) should be suf-
ficient to support his wife and chill
dren. Unless this condition prevails
there is violation of the very laws
Of capitalist production itself; the
plain economic fact that the worker
must not merely produce sufficient to
maintain himself, but that his wage
must enable him to support a family
SO that another generation of wage
slaves may be able to step into the
places of the present one.
When other members of the family
are thrown upon the labor market the
result is the spreading Of the value
Of the labor power of the husband over
the whole family, thus depreciating
his own labor power. Proof of this
effect Of child labor can be obtained
by even cursory examination of the
wages Of men in Industrial centers
where child labor prevails. In the cot
ton mills of the south this is so glar-
ing that the so-called "poor white
trash" that furnishes child slaves for
the mills actually measure their pros
perity by the number of children they
have to send into the slave pens. II
the number Of children is greater than
the average, the family income is
larger-the parents are so devoid of
that which the bourgeoisie like to
parade as the parental instinct that
they look upon their own children only
as adjuncts OF machines to be put in
operation at the earliest possible
moment. Many of these parents were
child slaves themselves, marrying in
their early teens-many girls become

mothers at fourteen in these districts
and deprived of even the rudiments
Of an education, so they are utterly
incapable of properly raising children.
AS soon as possible after childbirth,
these pathetic mothers go back to the
looms, while neighbors' children, not
yet old enough to go into the mills,
take care of their offspring.
This blight upon the family is not
confined to the cotton mill states, but
is gradually spreading thruout every
part of the country. Even the skilled
industrial workers of New York are
forced to send their children into Of
fees, stores or industries at an early
age in order to meet the demands of
the cost Of living. If such workers
were alive to their own interests they
would prepare to struggle against the
spread Of child labor. For il the labor
movement of this country does not
take drastic steps to wipe out this
menace, the conditions now existing
in child labor territory will become
the condition Of the working class of
the whole country.
The enemies of labor, in their fight
against the abolition of slavery of
children, talk about the sacredness
OF the "home," in order that they NAV
continue to ravage the homes of the
working class.
Trade union officials of the reaction
airy type. which is the predominant
type today, are incapable of waging
a real fight against child labor. first
because of their political alliances
with the politicians who exist BY
virtue OF the patronage OF the ex.
pioiters OF labor, and, secondly, be.

cause OF their notorious ignorance OF
everything pertaining to economics.
No matter what their intentions might
be, they are not equipped to lead q
struggle Of this character.
1t is only the Communists who can
analyze the system that produces
child labor and it is only the Com
munists who are capable of taking
the lead in mobilizing the workers
for united action in defense of the
elementary interests of labor. We
fight today for ratification of the pro-
posed amendment, thereby proving
that we engage in every struggle that
affects the working class, but we
know full well the limitations Of par
liamentary reform and to the extent
that workers in large numbers en-
gage in such struggles to that extent
will they came to realize that the con-
stitution, the congress of the United
States, the various state legislatures
in fact the whole government ap-
paratus-exist only for the purpose
Of perpetuating slavery. This is part
OF struggle that can only end when
the workers of the United States,
under the leadership Of the Workers
(Communist) Party, smash the state
power of the capitalist class and es-
tablish a workers republic.
There is no sentiment in busi-
ness!" say the Philistines. All their
sycophants re-echo this part of the
litany of capitalism. Very well. we
revolutionists should see that the
workers remember this assertion and
mobilize our power relentlessly to
scourge form the face Of the earth
these despoilers of the human race.

The elegant grande danes of the
plutocracy do not know when they

Shiny trail OF child labor win wreal
a loathsome vengeance upon them
that is, those of them that are not

fayorite pastime of the ruling class

But those who distill the blood Of
children into profits are not concerned

the welfare of society. Speak to them
of the ghastliness of child slavery and

While the working class cannot es-
cape the effects Of the spread of
disease emanating in the foul holes
where children slave, it must face
another menace equally as dangerous.
The spread Of child labor will in

in wages Of adult workers because it

family must work in order to earn
sufficient to enable 1t to exist.

STRIKE RIOT NEAR AT
SOUTHAMPTON
Police Called to Protect Shipping
Agent From Disgruntled Colored
Sailors

London, Sept 10-Southampton,
which is the storm center Of the ship
ping strike, is threatened with grave
disorder, and it is reported that the
police and strikers are massed face
to face.
The trouble began early Wednes-
day evening, when sixteen colored
men brought from Cardiff paraded be-
fore the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company's office and demanded an in
terview with the company's represen-
tative, who, they allege, misled them
when they inquired for ship I'M
affected by the strike. They found,
they said on arrival at the ship that
they were expected to replace other
colored men who had ceased work.
They threatened serious reprisals if
they got hold Of the ship representa-
tives and the police were called.
Late Wednesday a strong force OF
police was stationed outside the build
ing, while opposite them was the coll
ored group, fanked by a strong con-
| tingent Of British strikers.
A large number OF men arrived to
replace the strikers, and each vessel
secured a proportion of her compile
ment. If necessary ships will embark
additional men the same way az
adopted in the case Of the Majestic
from tugs after the liner left shore.
The shipping companies are very
optimistic that the ships will sail. The
Olympic is due tomorrow and efforts
will be made to spread discomfort
among the crew, but shipping officials
point out that the Majestic had offers
of more men than wanted. The strik-
ers have been successful in disor-
ganizing cross-channel service from
Southampton, but service from other
ports are unaffected.
