Cold Waves and Cut in
Prices.
~ the Associated Press,


TOPEKA, Kans., February 14.-Old
Man Winter and sthe depression have
Joined hands to bring business back to
the retail coal dealer, according to
Harry Turner, assistant to the presi-
dent of the National Retail Coal Mer-
chants Association, representing 1000
dealers.
Turner attributed improvement in the
retail coal trade to the several cold
waves which have swept the country
and to lower prices for the fuel.
Retail coal prices. he said, have come
down approximately is per cent in the
past year. and 35 per cent in the past
four years, while prices of some COM
peting fuels have shown little change.
Retailers Margin Cut.
Turner said price reductions had been
made possible by lower prices at the
mine and by trimming the retailers
margin, despite freight rate increase
Of cents a ton.
No figures are available to show the
volume Of retail coal sales this Win
Ter, but Turner said the three yards

What depression among the rail-
ways means to the country at large
is strikingly revealed in a compar-
ison of their purchases during re-
cent years.
In 1929, they spent more than
$364,0O0,O00 for fuel-in 1882
they spent $17S,OO0,OOO, drop of
more than fifty per cent. In 1929
they spent $157,OO0,000 for forest
products, and in 1882 they spent
$52,OOO,O00, drop of sc per cent.
In 1929 they spent $437.000, 900 for
iron and steel, and in 1892, $780,
100000, a drop of more than rs
per cent.
Measure this decline in jobs, in its
effect on purchasing power. Think
of it in terms of farm prices, of
rents, of wage levels, of industrial
activity in general. Then you have
some idea of why we hear so much
about the troubles of the railroads.

ADVERTISING

Concerns whose business has been
built up largely as result of force
full national advertising are worried
because they don't know whether
they are going to fit into the picture
under the new Industrial Recovery
law, now in force. Postmaster Gen
eral Farley, talking to group of
Chicago advertising men, said, ITO
the advertising man is due great
deal of the credit for the upbuilding
of our country, making it the richest
the most prosperous land in the
world. Advertising has created a
larger demand for those things
which make for better living condi-

CHILD PROTECTION
Prepared by
Lucy Meacham Thruston


BY what strange roads are long
visioned goals sometimes reached?
Goals long fought for too! Those
who have envisaged protection of
youth in labor industries (some-
times protecting from certain forms
of labor) see this goal nearer than
ever before; and by curious route.
Florence Kelley, Quaker of Irish
ancestry and born in Philadelphia
in 1859, was one of the first to de-
vote herself to this work of releas-
ing children from intolerable con-
ditions in factories and sweatshops.
Her impulse towards this task, to
which she devoted most of her life,
was gained when she, herself a
child, was taken by her father to
see glass factory in Pittsburgh.
Here she saw terrified children
working over the GLORY hole"
Through after years of study at
Cornell (where she wrote a thesis
on The Law and the Child) through
her settlement work at Hull House
and Henry Street (Manhattan,) her
burning interest was maintained.
She travelled abroad, married a
Polish count, had two children; was
divorced, resumed her maiden name.
And she helped to found the Con-
sumers' League, of which she was
long the secretary.
1t was Florence Kelley who start
ed the slogan "Shop EARLY for
Christmas" She did so because she
had seen the dreadful strain upon
those in the shops making a special
ity of Christmas trade. One story
of boy who lost his life in this few
erish rush was told by her from
coast to coast. She used the tale
as powerful weapon in her fight
against child labor. The story was
that of little lad who worked II
hours day during the Christmas
rush. His stunt was to trot from
delivery wagon to customers doors.
One night when he was utterly ex-
hausted he curled up in the back of
the wagon and went to sleep. The
wagon was inadvertently moved
from the stable into the street.
The fatigue-drugged boy was frozen
to death.
Many states have excellent child
labor laws on their statutes hut they
are unenforced. For this reason
Florence Kelley began her fight for
Federal legislation. In 1924 Con-
gress submitted constitutional
amendment to the states which, if
ratified, would give Congress power
to limit, regulate and prohibit en-
ployment of youths under eighteen.
This amendment has not been rati-
fed. Mrs. Kelley died in February
1882, and child labor regulation
SuHered llS greatest dow. But now
this long envisaged goal seems with
in reach, and by an entirely new and
unexpected route, the codes being
worked out under present require
ments for industries may say min
ors under sixteen may not be en-
ployed during the emergency"
This the cotton textile code has al
ready said. Clothing factories, it is
said, canning factories, food-pack-
ing and other industries will follow
suit
By this strange road the goal of
child protection in industry may at
last be reached!

PLAN REOPENING BANKS TIC
AID FARM MORTGAGES

A broad program for reopening
closed rural banks, coupled with
wholesale refinancing of farm mort
cages as announced by Governor
Morgenthau of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, involves extensive adj
yances from the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation. 1t is already in
effect in Wisconsin and will be ex-
tended Immediately to Illinois.
The credit administration is to
purchase farm paper from closed
banks at a new appraised value set
by administration examiners. Funds
made available will be distributed
to depositors, while the farmers
obligations will be refinaneed by the
Government over a long-term period
at lower interest rates.
Farm credit bonds will be turned
over to the corporation as security
from the $2,0OO,OO0,000 issue pro-
vided in the credit act.
Officials of the credit administra-
ton said the plan would be extend
ed to 10 more states by August l.,
and it was hoped all distress areas
might be aided by January 4.

DEPRESSION AND PROGRESS

History shows that it is during
periods like that from 1929 to 1888
that real human progress is made.
when business is booming and every
body is busy, nobody has either the
time or the incentive to do any
amount of deep thinking on any
subject. Inventors are always
specially active during hard times,
and it is also true that new and big
ideas in all lines are developed dur
ing such periods of incubation.

Tucson, Ariz b.-The eco

survey that has been prepared

Reports indicate that the mum
Der Of dairy COWS in Arizona has

small reduction in the Salt
