CHILD LABOR BAD IN
CHINA BUT 0. K. IN U. S.
SAYS CHICAGO PAPER

AAA8AAA8AANAA8A
CHICAGO. April 30.-The hypo-
critical Chicago Daily News publish
ed by Victor +. Lawson, millionaire
reactionary residing in a palace on
Chicago's celebrated "GoId Coast"
on the shores of Lake Michigan, is
shedding bitter tears over child slav-
cry in China. Lawson's most recent
sorrow comes as the result Of the de-
feat Of an attempt to regulate child
labor in the foreign settlement of
Shanghai.
Lawson and his newspaper are bit
terly disappointed over the failure Of
the foreign residents of Shanghai to
rise up in their wrath and smite child
slavery but the Daily News is whole
heartedly for slavery for American
babies. The Illinois Manufacturers
Association, in its November issue of
the Monthly Review for Executives"
listed the Daily News as one Of the
10 Illinois newspapers opposed to the
Child Labor Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States.
News Fights Amendment
To prove that the Manufaeturers'
Association had it pegged right, the
Daily News published columns upon
columns Of propaganda matter to
prove that child slavery was a good
thing for America and that the pro-
posed Amendment was a continuance
of Satan.
It is apparent that Lawson is now
trying to alibi himself and his news
paper out of bad situation by sniff
ling over the hard lot Of Chinese chill
dren who are being shamelessly ex-
plotted in the same manner that
American babies are being ground in
to profits by Lawson's millionaire
buddies.
Shanghai Conditions Denounced
The Daily News says in an editor
ial:
Apparently the foreign rate pay
ers within the international settle
ment of Shanghai are not as anxious
to correct the almost incredibly hof-
rible condition Of the child workers in
the factories and mills within their
jurisdiction as elementary humanity
demands. That opposition is. hardly
conceivable, the plain recital of the
facts regarding child labor in China
by the Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily News sufficiently demonstrates.
Pleads for Shanghai Tots
Further along in the editorial Law
sons newspaper has this to say:
"Child labor in England century
ago presented sufficiently dismaying
spectacle, but that condition seems
well-nigh ideal when contrasted with
the physical and moral slavery Of the
children employed in modern Chinese
factories.
ut is hoped by persons in Shanghai
who realize the piteous plight of fac
tory children that the model ordi-
nance If adopted and honestly en-
forced, win serve as an example in
all Chinese communities"
Playing safe all the way through.
For the abolition of child slavery in
China and England or any old conn
try 50 long as it is undisturbed in
the United States.

Construction of Grain Elevator
A port grain elevator is being con-

is supposed that its capacity will be
about 100000 pools; the cost of CON

connection with the construction OF
this elevator
Before the world war, during the
period 1905-1913, the average export
Of grain from the port of Nikolaevsk

grain exports was in 1907 (55,O0O,O0o
poods)-the maximum, in 1910 (11S,-
1000 poods.)
1t is also interesting to note that
In 1910 17.7 per cent of all the ex-
ports of grain from Russia were made
from the port Of Nigolaevsk.

MELLON HAGGLES
ON DEBTS WITH
FASCIST BANKER
Praises Bloody Rule of
Mussolini

WASHINGTON June 26.-Negotia-
tions to agree upon terms for the pay
ment of the two billion dollars Italian
debt to the United States have opened
at the treasury department.
The Mussolini government was re-
presented by Giacomo de MARITIME, TIA
liam ambassador here, and Mario AL
berti, an officer of II Credito Italiano,
one of Italy's largest banks.
The United States was represented
chiefly by Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon, chairman Of the American
debt funding commission, with two
other members Of the commission
Secretary of State Kellogg and Sen
ator Reed Smoot-ready to join the
discussion.
Today's meeting, which marks the
first formal move on the part of Italy
to discharge her war obligations to
the United States, was to be given over
, to a general discussion of the entire
debt situation, with the Italian repres-
entatives outlining the financial pro-
blems of their government and the ex-
tent of its ability to pay, and with
Seer tary Mellon demanding payment
According to the treasury, the sta
tus of the Italian debt is now as fol-
lows:
Principal amount of
obligation $1,047,S69,19796
Interest accrued 90,674 ,654.S1
Total indebtness 2,13S,543, 852.77
Payments on principal 1o4,S52s4
Payments of interest 57,59S, S52.S2
The Italian debt is the second big
gest unfunded obligation owed the
United States. France leads with
total debt of s4,21O,556,S4S.27.
Sessions Secret
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
talking to newspaper correspondents
at the close of the session, said the de-
tails of the debt discussion would not
be made public.
Secretary Mellon later issued a COM
munique formally announcing the
opening of negotiations and declar-
ing that "the funding of the Italian
debt would be based on Italy's ability
to pay"
Mellon. in his statement after the
first session Of debt conference, paid
glowing tribute to the murderer of
the Italian workers-Premier Musso-
lini,-who has attempted to destroy
the labor unions OF the italian work
ers, and caused thousands Of them to
be imprisoned.
I'VE have watched Italy emerge
from the chaos OF war, straighten out
her industrial troubles, cut her ex-
penditures, and put her budget in
equilibrium, Mellon said, "All under
the direction of one strong man, with
sound ideas and the force to make
these ideas effective"
The conference with the fascist re-
representatives. marks a stronger alli-
ance Of the American bankers, repre-
sented by Mellon and the Coolidge
government, with the Italian capital
lists and the fascist government.
The conference will meet again next
Tuesday.
