Children Work al
IA, Survey Shows

WASHINGTON, Dec. % (FP).-
American wage-working children go
to work at IA to Is years of age, as
a rule, and the lower the educational
requirement for a working certificate,
the younger is the age of the child in
industry.
This situation is revealed in the an
nual report of Grace Abbott, chief of
the U. S. Children's Bureau, in her
review of study of working certifi-
Gates of 1O7,257 children who first
took industrial jobs in 1926. These
children lived in 10 states, "a cities in
other states, and the District Of Co
Iumbia-the areas where reliable rec
ords are kept.
In states and 7 cities the require
ment was less than graduation from
the eighth grade in school, and of the
42,949 children who secured working
papers in this area Sc percent were
only IA years old. In the 3 states and
s cities where eighth grade gradua-
ton was absolutely required, only "a
percent of the 42,786 children involved
were less than Is years of age.

RALEIGH, N. c., Dec. 22.-Trial
of the 80 flogging cases now longest
ing the county superior court docket
may start early in the new year, it
was indicated here today.
Governor Mclean was required by
Judge N; A. Sinclair, of Fayetteville,
to call special term of court to dis
pose of the charges against the 80
defendants, growing out of three
floggings virtually in the shadow of
the North Carolina capitol.
The special term probably would
be held in February or March.
Two defendants have beer tried and
acquitted of the flogging of E. A.
Jones, rural merchant, and Sam
Green, Negro helper. Thirteen other
men stand indicted for the same
flogging.

'1msmHgemt" Senators Betray
Labor Political Development

ST. PAUL, Dec. 22.-The capital
list politicians in Minnesota are car
rying on bitter struggle against
the farmer-labor party in that state.
The so-called Civic Union and the
Citizens Independent Committee,
which were launched during the city
campaign in st. Paul two years ago,
and undertook to defeat the labor
candidates, are particularly vicious
in their efforts to undermine and
weaken the political movement of
the workers and farmers in Mime
sofa.
The Civic Union has now launched
campaign against the labor coun-
cilmen in st. Paul. This attack has
far-reaching implications. 1t is the
intention of the enemies of the
farmer-labor movement not only to
discredit the labor councilmen but to
deal heavy blow at the farmer-la-
Dor movement as a whole. The vi
ciousness of the enemies of labor is
increasing as the national elections
approach.
Labor Has Candidate.
The Minnesota Union Advocate
writes on the situation as follows:
"It is announced by political writ
jers that labor political organization
is disrupted and is at sea to find
someone to stand for mayor.
"The labor political forces are do
ing now what they always have done
they are carefully planning the
campaign and have no difficulty in
getting a candidate for any or all
offices for which they may choose
to contest"
The progressive and left-wing mill
tants in the farmer-labor movement
of Minnesota are quite confident that
the efforts of the capitalist poll
ticians and the trade union reac-
tionaries to undermine the farmer
labor movement will not succeed.
The true adherents of the farmer-la-
labor party realize that the move

Debts Too Heavy,

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 22.-Declar-
ing that the Mexican debt to foreign
bankers is too great for the Mexican
government to meet and cut of all
proportion to her financial possibili-
ties, the Treasury Department will

ment is confronting serious dangers
from without as we'll as from within.
Not only are the capitalist poll
ticians working for the disruption of
labor's political movement, but the
same kind of activities are being car
ried on by the trade union reaction
aries and by the agents of the So
called Republican insurgents in Con-
gress. These activities must be COM
batted Just as energetically as the
open attacks of the capitalist poll
ticians, if the farmer-labor move
ment of Minnesota is to continue to
progress successfully.
Conference Comes.
One of the important issues at
present is the question of the forth
coming regional conference of the
farmer-labor groups and parties of
the Northwestern states. The need
for such a conference in order to
strengthen the farmer-labor party
movement in those states and also
from the point of view of strength
ening the labor movement in Mime
sofa has become so obvious that al
most every farmer-laborite in Min
nesota favors it. But it is also no
secret that several trade union re-
dictionaries and number of middle
class politicians within the farmer
labor movement are sabotaging and
resisting the calling of this North
western farmer-labor conference.
The loyal and consistent follow
ers of the farmer-labor movement in
Minnesota realize that the sabotage
against the holding of the North
western farmer-labor conference
which was scheduled for Christmas
is even more dangerous for labor's
political movement than are the open
attacks of the capitalist parties. 1t
is stated that Senator Shipstead is
responsible for good deal of the
opposition within the farmer-labor
movement to the holding of the re-
gional conference
