CHILD LABOR
DEFINED: NO
PLAY OR GROWTH

Toledo, Ohio.-"Child labor does not
mean selling newspapers after school
nor working few hours on holidays.
1t means toiling long hours at ma
chimes in factories, and shaving in
fields, excessive tasks at low wages.
1t means no time for school, play or
healthy growth" says correspondent
in the Toledo Union Leader.
'The 1920 census said that 1,06O,-
958 children were working, but this
counts only those from 10 to Is years
old. Thousands of children less than
10 years old are at work. Children
less than 6 years old working all day
are discovered from time to time by
Investigators of the national child la
Dor committee.
"At the same time, while more than
"a million children are working, far
more than million men and women
are unemployed. Setting the children
free will be good for the children,
but it will also give jobs to men and
women who are now idle.
even the people who live in states
which have good laws against child
labor, and which enforce the laws
they have, use goods produced in all
the states. So all the people in all
the states are using articles pro-
duced in part by child labor"

TEACHING PRINTING
In State Prisons Opposed
By Typo Union

BY International Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind.-The executive
council of the International Typo
graphical Union at meeting here,
adopted resolution of protest against
the proposed plan of extending the
teaching of printing in state penal
institutions over the country. 1t was
explained that the International
Union had no objections to printing
course in boys reform schools, but
would fight the attempt to teach the
trade to adults in prison because such
men would not measure up to the
high standard desired in the trade
and further because in terms of two
years men would not learn the trade
and would not be willing to meet ap-
premiership requirements after their
release from prison.
At the same meeting the executive
council was ordered to re-establish an
employment bureau by officers of the
conference.
The council went on record as sup
porting the postal workers in their
appeal for increased pay, the vote be-
ing unanimous. 1t was decided, how

boost in wages should not come by

FAIR PLAY COUNTS

That fair play for convicts is justi-
fled not only from the humane stand
point, but from the standpoint of re-
suits is demonstrated by Canada s
experience with modern prison meth
ods.
E. ]. McMurray, solicitor general
for Canada, recently told the Kiwanis
Club of Ottaway that more far-sight-
ed and humane methods in the Cana
dian prison system are having their
results.
Mr.. McMurray referred in particu-
lar to the parole system, adopted in
1899 Of the 1886 prisoners paroled
since then more than 14,800 had
made good" he said.
The speaker pointed out that mod
ern methods of punishment are two
fold to deter others from crime and
to reform those who have erred
Prisoners serve half their time before
subject to parole, and the whole sys-
tenn is based on merit and the con-
duct of the men, he said.
The address of Mr.. McMurray in
dicated unmistakably that Canada is
finding that it pays to treat human
beings justly and fairly. Certain
states in the United States having
archaic and barbarous prison systems
might study the experience of Can
ada with profit.

work of it's president, Peter ]. Brady.
"This labor bank" says the edi-

which success is undoubtedly due in
large measure to the direction of
President Brady and the able men
associated with him."
The editorial contains the good
news that the stock Of the bank has

being that the child labor amendment

capable of producing some splendid

he gives as his chief reason for voting
against the amendment that it is an
idea of the socialists. He didn't say
anything about being opposed to any
idea fostered and broached by social
lists when fawning for votes. Indeed
not. He promised and pledged any
thing and everything to get votes, be
they socialist, democrat, republican,
progressive or whatnot. That's where
the hypocrisy oozed out of the sane
timonious Falkenstine.
He further said, "If the church of
Jesus Christ is ever brought to dis

because of the attitude the leaders of
the church are taking on the various
questions confronting the American
people and the peoples of the world

EDITOR APOLOGIES

The Middletown Journal on Monday
night gave up nearly whole page to
publishing the sermon of Rev. C. c..
Falkenstine, delivered Sunday night,
in which Mr.. Falkenstine gave in de-
tail reasons for voting against
ratification of the federal child labor
amendment. At the top of the page,
in two-column blocked article head
ed, Editors Note Regarding Ser
mon," the editor says that publishing
the sermon in full DOES NOT INDI-
CATE THE JOURNALS ENDORSE
MENT OF REV. FALKENSTINE'S
VOTE, that its reason for publishing
the article is that every man, woman
and child is interested in knowing
why their representative took the
stand that he did, whether he be
RIGHT or WRONG.
No fair-minded reader will blame
the Journal for publishing the SER
mon verbatim. It is, however, pleas
ing to note that the editor feels that
an apology is owing in this instance.
We respect your feelings, Mr.. Editor.
