Letters to the Editor

EDIIOR,a Ine Po5t-PreSS
DEAR SIR:
We know that gold is where we find it but
all of us do not know where to find it. Few OF
us like the greenhorn's partner-"Desert Bill
who could look at mountain and tell if there
any gold in it or not. Everybody isn't as gull
lible the greenhorn from the east who be-
leved Desert Bills stories about the rich strikes
he had made and the fortunes he had squander-
ed gambling. wine and women. There are
many old Desert sa-prospectors- can
spin as fantastic stories of rich strikes as Desert
Bill. but they don't arouse much interest or ex-
citement these days.
It takes real gold siriKes-like those being
made in some Of the ole Ghost mining camps
OF the Cargo Muchacho mountains to arouse
interest. Recent reports from that section are
that many old mines. we'll a large number
of new prospects are being worked which until
the time gold was raised to S35 per ounce lay
idle. The old American Girl group the Tumco
group the Padre-Madre and others in this small
range have produced millions of dollars of gold
principally from loWgrade ores. With the
opening Of some of these old mines recent re-
ports are that rich pocket Of ore in the Padre
mine produced about $4,000 in fourteen days
and another fraction OF claim. adjoining the
Padre-AIadre. which Holmes and Nicholson pur-
chased from the MashaW Brothers. is said to
have developed ledBe which has Widened out
to about 10 feet and assays from $50 to $50
per ton
Three mills grinding out gold day and
night from the mines IN this section, one at the
Tumco one at the American Girl and the Holmes
and Nicholson plant which is located about five
miles west Of Yuma on the Colorado River and
Ocean Highway. a few small stamp mills
being operated by owners and leasorS of claims.
The Cargo Muchacho mountains, which are
located few miles northwest Of Yuma. have
produced millions and destined to repeat if
the high price for gold continues indefinitely.

Bruce Cation Says
- Takino Stock of the Child Labor Problem

Dor or not, the survey showed
among othe rthings:
That almost 100000 children be-
tween 10 and Is years OF age TN
clusive) were engaged in child Ia
Dor in 1890
That the number increased be-
tween 1890 and 1888, then decreas-
ed markedly during the NRA per-
iod.
That child employment increased
as much as 100 per cent during the
year after NRA was inValidated,
as shown by government figures.
That approximately $4,000 boys
and girls are Injured and 1000 Kill
ed or permanently disabled every
year while working.
That a large percentage oil chll-
dren applying for work permits are
physically unfit" for labor.
And that 1.-The areas of the most
illiteracy, the most child labor, ana
the least school ATTENDANCE are al
most IDENTICAL
The committee asserted that the
child labor amendments has been
kept OUT Ol TIE tollobibuVioii oiiu'
far by a powerful and well-fi-
nanced" campaign of opposition by
manufacturers.
Opponents, on the other hand,
contend that the amendments,
giving the federal government pow
er to limit, regulate, and prohibit
the labor Of persons under 10,
would place too much power IN the
hands of government to interfere
with the private lives of boys ana
girls.
These charges and counter
charges have been made many
times in the last ID yaers, OF course,
and probably will be reiterated
many more times before the issue
is finally settled
Whether congress, changing the
wording of the amendment, might
make it more acceptable to present
oponents is problematical The Ma
tional Child Labor Committee eX-
presses hope that the wheeler
Johnson bill will pass, but serves
notice it will continue TO fight Tor
the amendment regardless OF the
outcome of the measure now before
congress.

Child labor has been an issue in
the United States for SO long that
it is helpful once in a while to
pause and take stock of the situa-
ton
The child labor amendment to
the constitution has been pending
before the states for ID years. Thus
far, % state legislatures have rati-
fled it-eight less than the three
fourths majority needed to place
the amendment in the constitution.
Meanwhile. hundreds of bills
have been introduced in Congress
proposing other amendments or
seeking to remedy child labor faults
through straight legislation. The
latest of these is the Wheeler
johnson bill. which would prohibit
shipment across state lines of goods
produced by child labor. The mea-
sure has passed the Senate, but
not the House.
The most recent survey OF the
child labor situation was made by
the National Child Labor commit
tee. The study was based partly
on information gathered by the
committee. partly on government
records and census figures.
