ORPHAN HOMES

into SLAVERY
Victims Sent South in
Car Loads

NEW YORK, May GA traffic in
child slaves was revealed at the Child
Welfare Conference at the closing
session at the Hotel Biltmore. Mrs
Bennett Smith Of Temple, Tex, said
that thousands of children from found
ling homes are shipped to Texas
farms where children are placed in
unfit homes to be turned into cotton
plantation slaves. To give the SEM
blance of legality to these slave deals
children are tagged with the names of
their new parents. AS a matter Of
form they are adopted by farmers
who use them for heavy farm labor.
There is no kind Of supervision, I"
she said, lover the welfare of these
children once they are taken into
Texas under the guise Of legal adop-
ton"
Mrs. B. F. Westmore of Spokane,
Wash, made similar charges, declar-
ing that very young children are taken
in large groups from the congested
East to Northwestern states, and,
altho legally adopted by farmers, be-
come a part of the migratory labor.
"The adopted parents Of such chill
dren evade the compulsory education
laws" Mrs. Westmore said, "and
agents are sent East to- arrange for
the wholesale transportation to great
apple orchards and truck farms"
Children are disposed Of as one
would dispose of chickens and puppy
dogs by many of the great founding
institutions" DR.. Hastings r. Hart of
the Russell Sage Foundation declared,
saying he had seen crimes committed
in the placing of children in family
homes that made the blood run cold.

Coolidge Can't See II.

WASHINGTON, May 21-President
Coolidge's mythical spokesman has
fatty denied that he is going to call
a new Hague conference of the pow.
ers, to codify International law as a
necessary preliminary step to Ameri-
can adherence to the international
court of justice. He sees no need
for codyifying the law before joining
the court. Hence, the report that Sen.
Borah had "sold" the idea to him is
worthless.
Besides, calling conference would
raise the issue of Russian recognition.
Borah, in a speech at the university
Of Michigan, has again demanded that
the Soviet Union be recognized in the
family Of nations. The state depart
ment bureaucracy is sti1 unwilling
to support Borah. Coolidge prefers
to let the issue sleep.

LAYS OFF 5000
men FROM SHOPS
Move to Cut Wages by
Unemployment

Between so and IS per cent Of the
workers of the northwestern railway
shops in Chicago are now unemployed
and tasting some of the Coolidge
prosperity" according to the infor-
nation reaching the office Of the
DAILY WORKER.
In latter April the railroad announ-
ced its intention to lay off So per cent
of the force of about 1000 employed.
However, this was later changed, and
the lay offs took effect on a lesser,
though still great, scale on May 4th.
1T is estimated that about 5000 or
more are now laid off.
In the locomotive department a re-
duction of forces of from so to 30 per
cent was put into effect. In the freight
car department nearly all the
men were laid off. The only depart
ment which did not suffer was the
passenger car department, which is
running a full crew.
Action by the shop crafts union is,
apparently, undecided. While the lay
off is apparently part of the camp
ign. of the business interests to give
the starvation cure to the workers in
order to make them accept a wage
cut, no word of fighting back has
reached the ears of the men from the
shop craft unions.

only for its opposition to the current
investment policies of the church but
for it's proposal that investments
shall in future be made only with
concerns that come up to the ethical
standards the church has laid down.
Christian Theory and Capitalist
Practice.
Dean Lathrop tells what these ethic-
al standards are They were adopted
at the general convention of 1922 by
the house Of bishops and the house Of
deputies of the church and declare
that Human rights must take pre-
cedence Of property rights. There
fore a minimum subsistence wage,
and If possible, comfort and saving
wage must be the first charge on the
industry !. :" And it is further en-
phasized that labor as well as capital
has the right to organization.
That is the church theory, but
church practice has drifted along old
lines. Dean Lathrop shows that the
national council has been guided in
its investments by financial and not
by ethical considerations. The in
vestments are for the most part in
bonds yielding secure and regular in
come.

Church Millions Behind Open Shop.

What these securities are in which
the church funds are placed is shown
by the annual reports of the various
funds. There are a number of big
fund groups. The writer has to hand
the printed report for December 1923
of the standing committee on trust
funds Of the domestic and foreign mis-
sion society of the church-obtained
thru the courtesy of Dean Lathrop.
It summaries the $7,S43,325.S4 of
cash and securities in the mission
funds alone. 1t is impossible here to
enumerate the more than two hum
bred varieties Of securities furnish
ing the mission revenues but nearly
all of them are railroad and public
utilities holdings whose labor policy
is partly or entirely on an open shop
basis.
One Of the corporations represented
is the Pennsylvania r. r. In talking
to the Federated Press Lean Lathrop
listed this enterprise as one whose
labor policy was bad and whose Sc
curities would not meet the test Of
an ethical evaluation of investments.
