THE DEPRESSION AND HEALTH
OF CHILDREN

The Children's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor finds
that the cumulative effect of years of
hardship are becoming increasingly
evident on the health of children.
School and relief agencies have put
up determined fight against NAL
nutrition but the situation is de-
scribed as grave.
1t is futile to talk to parents about
building up weak children with good
food, fresh and rest, when there
is little money for food and there is
no relief in sight. The only remedy
Is work for the parents at decent
wages and failing that, adequate
money and food relief until work is
forthcoming.
The situation among children bears
out what this department has repeat
edly pointed out, that the depression
is bound to have an adverse effect on
health conditions, despitee optimistic
reports purporting to show good
health conditions among the popula-
tion since the slump began.

THOSE WAGE INCREASES

Reports of wage increases come
from many sections. The newspapers
have been printing a column or so
Of such dispatches daily, with the
idea of spreading cheer admidst the
prevailing economic gloom. In some
cases these reports have been bally-
hooed as an indication that the de-
preston is on the way out.
Most of the pay raises reported are
from 5 to 10 per cent. Every wage
increase is welcome and helpful to
purchasing power, but it should not
be forgotten that wages have been so
severely slashed that it will take a
lot of raises to bring them anywhere
near levels that prevailed before the
depression began. To bring lasting
revival, wages must soar higher than
ever before. Only in that way can
prosperity be restored and buying
power keep pace with production.

RES OLl Ut LAA LADOh LA W -
New York's strict child labor laws
have driven employers of children to
open sweatshops in Connecticut and
Pennsylvania, the Children's Bureau
of the United States Department of
Labor points out. Taking advantage
of lax laws in Connecticut and Penn
sylvania, the sweatshop bosses are
seeking refuge in these two states
and to a certain extent in other states
and are numerically exploiting boy
and girl workers, to the scandal of
the states unfortunate enough to har-
Dor them.
The situation is another illustration
of the need for uniform state laws.
Lax labor laws give a state an unfair
advantage over states with progress
i've labor and social legislation. The
need for uniform legislation is par
ticularly urgent at the present time,
with the depression-born demand for
very low priced products operating
to break down all fair wage and
working standards.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

"Where do we go from here" was
the question in 1919.
| 1t is the question today.
Government figures: In 1919 show
ed 9,041,311 wage earners employed
in manufactures; in 1920, about 1.6
per cent above that-boom year
making total of 9,1S5,972 employed
in manufactures in 1920.
Railroad employment in 1920 was
2,022 1892; and mineral industries en-
rloyed l,090,223.
That makes total 1920 industrial
employment about 12,299,027. The

has never been equalled.
There were that many employ
| ables" in 1920.
Well--in 1929 there were 1886, ,403
employed in manufactures. That was
1860 less than 1920. Railways en-
ployed 1,660,850 in 1929; or 361, ,575
less than in 1920.
Add those. 1t makes a total indus
trial employment in 1929 Of 11,425

Why? In 1919 the capacity of install
ed manufactures equipment was 2e

But man-power was cut.
Meanwhile: the babies! Popula-

n YEW YORK, September 81
nj You haven't heard and read
so much about Freddy Fitz-
simmons this season as you
have about some Of the other Giant
pitchers, but don't be surprised if
he grabs of the headlines in the
big series.
John j. McGraw, who, man and
boy, has been around quite a few
world series, believes that the 'fat
and horid" Freddie is the Giants
best bet to halt the Washington
Senators. Yes, sir, you can have
HubbeI and Schumacher. McGraw
likes Fitz, who is chubby in build,
gets red in the face in the pinches
and has the only fast 'knuckler"
in the business.
The big reason for this confidence
in the veteran right-hander Is his
experience, some eight years of it
on the big league firing line. Fitz
came to the Giants in 1925 from
Indianapolis and in most years has
Dcen Cne ace OF tIlc plICllillS SedA.
He never had a really bad season.
In 1928 he won 20 games against 9
losses, and in 1880 he won 19 and
lost z.
He fell off some last year, when he
had a beaten, dispirited club be-
hind him, but once the Giants
caught the pennant fever this season
Freddie came back strong He at
tributed some of his Improvement to
the fact he worked off 20 pounds
of excess weight during the Winter.
A week before the season ended he
had won Is and lost II games.
The Senators will find his knuckler
bad medicine If Freddie happens to
be right" It's a queer one, break
ing every which way. like splitter.
Usually it dips, and the batter tops
it to the inf1eld.
Fitzsimmons is known as one OF
the greatest fielding pitchers in the
game and as a dangerous hitter In
the pinches. He broke up two games
this year with home runs.
II Fitz does anything like that in
the world series, they will do some
tall celebrating in Mishawaka, Ind.
That's where he was born back In
