The employment of children in
gainful occupations is blot upon our
present boasted civilization. Power
full interests are working diligently
and with ruthless disregard of facts
and the rights and interests of de-
fenceless childhood.
The amendment to the federal con-
stitution simply gives the right to
congress to enact laws that will pro-
tect childhood and stop exploiting
them for purely profteering and mer-
cenary purposes. The amendment de-
clares Congress shall have power to
limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor
Of persons under 18 years of age"
1t does not imply or say that con-
gress shall do any Of these things;
it simply gives to congress the same
power that the states have always
had. Any law limiting, regulating,
or prohibiting the labor of persons
under 18 years of age would have to
pass through congress and be signed
by the president Of the United States.
The amendment if enacted would en-
able congress to adopt an act nam

the age as low as IL years while
others have raised it to 16 years or
more. : States having low age limit
are said to be able to compete un-
fairly with states having the 16 or
II year age limit. The proposed con-
stitutional amendment simply gives
congress, and justly so, the right to
gradually bring about unification Of
all child labor laws. This is fair
from a competitive standpoint and it
is right from just and human
standpoint.
Those who would turn the clock
back when the precious lives and in
terests Of growing childhood are con-
cerned are heartless and unworthy of
any consideration at the hands of
right thinking, outstanding, progress
sive men and women.

Church Bound to Condeme
Business Interests War
On Labor, Ministers Say

By international Labor News Service.
Charleston, w. Va.-"The church is
bound to condemn the proposals of
certain business interests that labor
organizers be deported from the
state. Such an attitude represents
gross short-sightedness and poor
sportmanship. Furthermore, the re-
fusal of business men to admit rep
resentatives of labor into their coun.

resents a narrow type of statesman

the day of catastrophe" was the
stlnglng rebuke administered to the
Chambers of Commerce, Rotary and
klwanis clubs and other ASSOCIATIONS
that have been passing resolutions
demanding that labor organizers
leave West Virginia, by the Rev.
oren H. Baker, pastor of the Nor
gantown (W. Va.) Baptist Church.
III q IeCeIlC sermon.
The subject of the sermon was
Why the Church Has the Right and
Is Under Obligation to Speak Out on
the Question of Industrial Relations. /"
Church Men Speak Out
The church has the right" declared
Mr. Baker, "and is under obligation
TO speak out on the question of indus
trial relations because it represents
view of human life which is in con-
formity with the highest interests of
mankind, namely, the pre-eminence of
the moral and spiritual development

which is committed by its Founder
and its history to lay under tribute
the energies of men in order that
such situations may be removed"
While Mr.. Baker mentioned no par
ticular group, it was evident that he
had in mind those local exploiters of
labor who SO smugly hide behind
hymn books on Sunday and war on
the labor unions in particular, and the
workers in general, during week days,
when he uttered these truths:
Moreover, let it be remembered
that individuals can not maintain
harmony with God until they have
succeeded in effecting proper ADJUST
ments to one another. How can men
maintain fellowship with the God of
the universe when they have not
learned how to enjoy the companion
ship of their fellow beings? Long
prayers and elaborate rituals are but
mockery to God when the garments of
the saints are stained with sins. If
we do not have intelligence enough to
deal with our fellow men, how shall

Gains Of Union Printers
Fill Soul Of "Open Shop"
Advocate With Bitter Woe
By Staff Correspondent, Information

By Staff Correspondent, international
Labor News Service
Chicago.-R. j. Tufts, secretary of
the open shop Employing Printers
Association of Chicago, apparently
has become greatly alarmed over the
results being achieved from the or
ganizing drive that has been carried
on. by all Of the local unions in the
printing industry here during the last
several weeks. Mr. Tufts has been
sending out frantic appeals to nom
union employers imploring them to
get busy and head off the menace"
of the union shop.
Mr.. Tufts is agitated over the in
creasing use of the union label on
printed matter, which has been cult
waited by hard and systematic label
campaign carried on by the printing
trades unions. Mr.. Tufts had the fol-
lowing to say on the subject in con-
fidential circular letter mailed to nom
union employing printers:
Shocked to See Label Everywhere
while riding on the elevated rail-
road l noticed that their own adver-
tisement, selling their bonds, very
prominently displays the union label.
l also heard that the letterhead of the
American Red Cross appealing for
funds carried the label; also that a
downtown bank had the label on all
payroll checks. x [ will ap-
preciate it if you as well as the mem
bers Of your family will forward to
us. printing that bears the label from
firms that are appealing to the gen.
eral public for their business. =
| believe we can create good i'm
preston with the buyer if this matter
is presented to him in the right way"
Mr.. Tufts also warns the non-union
employers to be careful to watch
whom they employ at this time and
to guard the blacklist. He says:
Everyone should be extremely care
ful at this time about hiring new
men. Make sure of their records
While you are doing this, don't forget
to keep track of your present en-
ployes-the unions are very active.

"Bootlegging" Of Immigrants Is Seen
As Important Factor In Unemployment
Many Aliens Deported

The immigration officials are de-
porting "bootlegged" immigrants as
fast as they are found, but it is diff
cult to apprehend them and only a
fraction of those who enter illegally
are sent back to their native lands.
Despite the difficulty in finding the
"bootlegged" immigrants, more than
4,50O have been deported since July l.,
1924.
Reports from certain sections indi-
cate that there is unemployment that
would not exist except for the pres
ence of immigrants of all types who
have come into the country in def
ance of the law Officials of the
United States department of labor
have investigated the situation in sew
eral cities and their Investigations
have convinced them that there should
be little unemployment and that what
does exist is largely due to the food
ing of certain sections with boot
legged" immigrants. This influx of
smuggied aliens creates more work
ers than there are jobs, swelling the
ranks of the unemployed and tneding
to reduce wages.
Who Is Responsible?
Just what interests are behind the
smuggling of immigrants into the
country on large scale is not known
but it is suspected that interests that
fought the present law know some
thing about the matter. 1t is felt that
they would do all in their power to
nullify the effects of the law and that
it is to their interest that the "boot-
Logging" of human beings be con-
tinued

BUST OF COMPERS
ON EXHIBITION in
NATIONAL GALLERY
By international Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-The marble
bust of Samuel Gompers presented to
the American Federation of Labor at
Ell Paso, Tex, during the recent con-
vention, has been loaned to the Ma
tional Gallery of Art, Tenth and B
streets, Washington, by the A. F. Of
L. and is now in the gallery in a
position adjoining bust Of former

Both busts are the work of Moses

it is selected.

Fake open Shop" Directory Issued
Secretary Tufts has published an
alleged open shop directory, purport-
ing to list the open shop printers and
allied trades" said President Patzke
to international Labor News Service.
Tufts directory is the worst kind of
fake. We have gone carefully over
this directory and have found about
100 union composing rooms listed as
being manned by rats, and there are
about 40 union pressrooms declared to
be scab. Union binderies and union
|electrotyping plants are also listed in
this rat directory
"When we directed the attention of
union employers to this fake listing in
Tufts fake rat directory they became
indignant, declared that they were
unaware of even the existence fo such
a directory and took immediate steps
to compel Tufts to discontinue the use
of their firm names in this misleading
and untruthful manner
Listing Padded, Patze Charges
"If Tufts can point to exceed three
employing printers in his organization
who employ as many as 25 men in
their composing rooms, I'll eat one of
his directories" continues President
Patzke. "The listing looks formid-
able, but it is outrageously padded.
There are scores of them which are
only bedroom or cellar print shops,
which the owner operates unaided by
other help at night or on Sundays
and holidays when not engaged at his
regular employment"
Forty printing offices have been
unionized since the beginning of the
organizing campaign, and there are
many more good prospects in sight"

GOMPERS
The Great Actor
By WILLIAM ENGLISH WALLING

BY WILLIAM ENGLISH WALLING
| shall attempt no appraisal either
of Gompers the man or of his life
or work. / want to speak only Of
the heritage he left US and of one part
of that heritage, the part that seems
to me the most valuable.
How do we find what is strongest
and most typical in man? We anal
we, as with Lincoln, his most salient
trait With Lincoln it was his human
touch brought out in the vital stories
with which he illustrated every situa-
tion--stories that show a breadth and
depth Of humanity that makes us
think rather of our very greatest
writer's than of any statesman history
records.
Gompers' leading trait, it seems to
me, was his sense of the dramatic.
He rose to every occasion-and the
press and the public have recognized
that he rose to every occasion. He
fully realized the dramatic circum-
stances of his death and, what is still
more amazing and less widely known,
he pretty clearly foreshadowed the
ultra-dramatic circumstances of his
funeral.
Here is the very key to Gompers'
outlook on life. He staged his pub
lie appearance with brilliant success
because he was consistent and a
hard-working actor throughout his
entire career. ! He played his part in
his minds eye-whether in private or
in public-not before the persons in
the room or the audience in the hall,
but before all the people of this
country.
A few years before the war he took
up a role before another and an
equally large audience, the labor
movement of-the world. And since
the outbreak of the world war he
played his part always in his own
imagination and often in fact before
all civilized mankind.
Have / exaggerated? No, have
not yet done him full justice. For
during at least one, if not two de-
cades, he gave large part Of his
time to his records and those of the
organization which created him and
which he created. He was appearing
then in his minds eye, as he will
appear in fact, before the following
generation
Not letter, not speech or an
article, not an act of any importance
during the decade in which I knew
him best but was directed in the
main-if not wholly--to this great
audience And. not a ripple of ap-
plause or disafporval from that audi
ence failed to affect his sensitive
ears.
With that larger audience always
in view, he regarded labor as part
and not as the whole. He was in all
ways the opposite Of the savage fan

atics that are enslaving and destroy
ing in the name of labor on the other
side of the world. He unified the
wishes and ideas of his organization
and made them articulate; he never
for one moment tried to impose any
doctrine or purpose of his own. And
he succeeded in preventing all would
be dictators inside and outside the
movement from gaining an intellect
ual or moral ascendancy.
With his active and alert imagina-
ton, his Tightening quick intellectual
intuitions, his knowledge, his ripe
philosophy and his moral power, he
became more than the leading actor
in his movement, he became its actor
manager and he cast his associates
and his entire organization for parts
before the same great audience.
American labor, he taught, had its
part to play before America, before
the world, and before history. 1t had
an original role not following but
rather leading the labor of more back
ward and less fortunate countries.
Its duty was to select it's own role
and not to play any part chosen for
it by superior and outside persons.
Samuel Gompers made American
labor conscious of itself, of it's own
individuality and peculiar destiny.
He was no prophet, to him prophetic
and democratic leadership were a
contradiction in terms. But he left
his movement strong and united, con-
fident yet modest, and above all, its
own absolute master, free either from
the direct control or the moral and
intellectual influence of schemers and
idealists alien to the movement who
would use it for their ends.
He made American labor, or helped
to make it, the greatest and the most
Loyalty democratic of the volunteer
forces making toward democratic
progress in the world today. And he
did his part toward really momentous
achievement because that achieve
ment had become the consciou sand
deliberate aim of every waking hour
of great spirit, valiant and un-
resting energy and an effective brain.
