0CHILD LABOR Is RISING MENACE TO AMERICA
Million Children Under Is Toing for Wages Adults Go obzs

One class of child labor which
can not be fully reported by the
census-since much of it is kept
under cover-is in home industry.
Always present in the poorer dis
tricts of all large cities, it spreads
Ikea fungus in depression times.
CTANDARDS set by the White
~ House conference on child
health and protection, and the
national child labor committee,
call for an age minimum of 16, ex-
cept that children Of IA may work
outside of school hours in a care
fully restricted list of occupa-
tons.
Only two of our states, however,
have this 16-year minimum, and
the law Of one of them applies
only to factory work.
Six states have a 15-year limit,
but two of these have exemptions
permitting work at an earlier age
during school hours.
Thirty-nine states have a IA
year limit, but eight of these also
have exemptions. Two states have
no general age minimum at all.
The White House conference
has declared for a maximum
working day of eight hours. and a
forty-four- week for all chill
dren under 10.
For children under Is, the pro-
gram calls for an eight-hour day
for school, and work combined.
1t is declared that night work
should be prohibited for minors
under 10, except that boys of is
might work until 10 p. m.
CTATE legislation in general
~ falls far short of these stand
ards. Four states have an eight
hour day and 44-hour week for
children under Is, but in none of
them is the law all-inclusive.
Thirty states have an
8-hour day and 48-hour week, but
there are numerous exemptions.
Eight states permit nine to eleven
hours daily, and 81 to so hours a
week.
Twenty-one states permit chill
dren under 16 to work seven days
week, and seven allow young
sters under Is to work after 9
o'clock at night.
Those are conditions as they
exist today, and which are to be
remedied at least in part If
the plans of various organizations
are successful.
But there are other even more
sensational aspects of the problem
as they affect the child worker
himself and the society in which
he is expected to take a place.

ment, health and education.

others are going out to help swell

ominous.
Todays events in the far east Of
fer a sinister significance to his
mind - Japanese troops on the
fringe of Soviet territory; warnings
from the Soviet press; establish
ment of puppet kingdoms in Man
churia; disregard for the protesta-
tons of western nations.
These occurrences are particularly
ominous, because, to his mind, they
are repetition of an international
conflict that began in 1918, when
the japanese, supported by the
British and White Russians, nearly
embroiled the United States in far
eastern quarrel of startling dinen-
sions.
"a Japanese Soviet war is pos
sible," the general stated. Il do
not think the Soviets want war.
do not even know whether, after
the Shanghai incident, japan &C
tually wants to engage in war.
Russia Will Defend Own
"But who can read the notes ex-
changed between the two govern
ments, as published in the Soviet
newspaper Izvestia, as recently as
March 4, without feeling that Mos
COW is determined, if not to wage
war, at least to defend to the utmost
her Siberian holdings?"
General Graves recited a list of
inflaming documents Izvestia claims
to have obtained from high Japa-
nese military authorities to indicate
the depth of feeling. One Of them,
purporting to come from a military
leader, said:
"a Japanese-Soviet war, consider
ing the condition of the armed
forces must be undertaken as
soon as possible" Another said:
THE cardinal aim of this war
must be not SO much the protection
of Japan from Communists, as the
conquest Of the Soviet far east and
eastern Siberia"
Cites 1913 Situation
Harking back to 1918, General
Graves continued:
II believe then and believe now,
the Japanese military, during the
nineteen months I was in Siberia,
always had their covetous eyes on
eastern Siberia. But Soviet Russia
at that time and for a few years
later, was not able to resist by force
any violation of her sovereign rights.
"The question is very different
now, and there is no doubt that
any effort to send troops into Rus
sian territory would be resisted by
force. This indicates, to my mind,
there is danger of conflict be-
tween japan and Soviet Russia in
eastern Siberia.
IF it should reach Europe, no
human mind can foresee how far
it will reach"

VXTHILE millions of adults
w walk the streets today in a
vain search for jobs, more than
a million children less than l8
years old are working for wages.
Although their elders may have
nothing to do, and not even
enough to eat, little toilers who
themselves often are undernour-
ished have entirely too much to
do. According to all modern
standards, at least million of
them ought to be in school.
In some cases, children actually
have displaced their fathers and
mothers in industry. A youngster
of IA or Is, by working a little
harder, little faster. or longer
hours, can do mans work-at
lower wages. This generally marks
the fall of his family to semi
dependent status.
Wage scales thus are being de-
pressed, and the bargaining power
as we'll as the self-respect of
adult labor correspondingly weak
ened. Nobody is being aided.
Education is curtailed, health i'm
paired, standards of living low
cred, and unemployment aggra-
waited.
An almost forgotten social
problem during the boom DAYS,
child labor has become an eco
nomic menace. And it is aston
ishingly prevalent, still present to
some extent in all of its shameful
forms of old.
The children's bureau and many
other agencies taking similar
view now are beginning a deter
mined drive for corrective legis-
lation. They point out that the
reduction of child lahor-and
some such reduction now seems
certain-will result in emergency
unemployment relief and perIna-
nent social reform.
DENDING the compilation of
L complete 1880 figures, they es-
innate that there now are more
than 100000 children from Z to
IL years old habitually out of
school. In normal year, the
National Education Association
believes that some 2,12O,OO0 are at
work in gainful occupations.
The latter figure probably is
not quite applicable to 1892 be-

PRIVATE FIRMS

STOCK CRASH
New York Federal Reserve

HECKLED BY STRONG
Finance Chief Says Effort

Speculation.
BIZ United Prcss

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April l3.-Blame
for the stock market crash Of 1929
was placed largely on the frenzied
activities of private corporations to-
day by Governor George L. Harri-
son, of the New York federal reserve
bank.
Harrison, testifying before house
subcommittee on banking and cur
rency. said that the bankers had
sought to curb speculation in the
boom years.
The federal reserve governor,
after a sharp exchange with Rep
resentative Strong (Rep., Ksn0, de-
clared:
You can't blame the banks. II,
despite their efforts to restrain
speculation, you and you and John
Smith think that the A, B, G, D or
any other corporation Is pretty
good. There's no way to stop you
from buying
Snaps Back at Strong
Harrison asserted that the banks
had required higher and higher
margins on stock purchases and
that at one time they were as high
as so per cent or more. He said also
that the federal reserve consistently
raised the bank discount rate in an
effort to check the disastrous flood
OF speculation which swept the
country.
But you went up too slowly"
Strong shot at Harrison.
I'VE went up slowly in the light
OF past experience" Harrison re-
torted, land I'll admit we might do
it differently now"
There's no use trying to put out
fire when it's already burned itself
out" Strong came back at him.
Harrison appeared before the sub
committee to testify concerning a
bill for increasing and stabilizing the
price levels and commodities.
Ignores Pointed Query
Where were these great minds in
1929 of which you now speak?"
Strong sarcastically asked the
banker.
Harrison ignored the question and
proceeded with his explanation, in
Guiding his insistence that the ac-
tivities of private commercial cor
porations, rather than those of
bankers and brokers. we're in the
main responsible for the speculation.
