G RALLY & BOND AUCTION FRIDAYMGHT Sheriff Holland To Answer Charge Of Violation Of U .S. Child Labor Law In October Dr. Prytherch Asks Support of Fishing Industry for Help in Feeding Nation In This War Year CHILDREN'S BUREAU PREFERS HAIRSPLITTING HUNGRILY TO TAKING LIBERAL VIEW OF LAW Sheriff Holland will be called upon to defend him self in Federal Court in Oc tober not in his capacity as Sheriff but with Charles G. Austin as partner in the Carteret Fish Company. Two other Beaufort firms, M. T. Noe's Sea Food Company and S. W. Davis and Broth er, were indicted but signed a voluntary .agreement to desist and were released. Carteret Fish Company, one of the largest here, was given no such alternative. The indictment reads: They "did unlawfully and willful ly ship and deliver for shipment in interstate commerce goods, to-wit, 11 boxes of shrimp and fish pro duced in the establishments of the defendants at Beaufort, with in the jurisdiction of this Court, in or about which plants within thirty days prior to the removal of such goods therefrom .the said defendants employed oppresive child labor;" and so on. Persons living in Beaufort all of their lives merely shrugged their shoulders with a little contempt , when the information came out in v the papers. A good many of the leading business men knew what it was because thev had been clad to do it themselves in the old days fihen Mr. Potter paid them ten cents a pail for the work. That was before it became so lucrative a field and a field monopolized by the colored . boys. Then Jim Rum ley, William Hatsell, John Jones, Dell Hill, Fred King and a score of others were the oppressed child laborers. To these men and all Beaufort came ud the familiar Dieture of shrimp piled on a fish house floor, a group of boys sitting around on ooxes pulling hfr,js 0ff and drop ping tnem in a pan while a breeze came in from the water that Mrs. Perkins in Washington might well envy, for this thay now get a cent a poud. If one grows tired or lazy, another boy stands ready to take his place; if he is smart, he can amass a dollar or more in an afternoon to apply to clothes, can dy, cones, or any of those various concerns of colored boys that call for money. There is no whole-som leisure time plan that would offer a substitute use for the time thus spent. These boys work but three or four hours a day, there is no night work, no moving machinery, no hazards, no sweat shop surround ings, and people are wondering why with all there is to be done today and with the crying need for food that in this war year in which everyone is supposed to make some contribution to the work of the world, the sea food industry has to be disrupted. See Sheriff Page 10 HEARING SEPT. 17 In a response to a petition from Southport shrimp houses, a public hearing wil be held at Washington on Friday, September 17, 1943, on the folowing ques tions: "1. In what occupation::, if any, is the employment in raw shrimp houses of minors between the ages of 14 and 16 years in the preparation of shrimp for ship ment in its raw state necessary for the war effort, end 2. If such employment of minors between the ages of 14 and 16 years is found to benecessary for the war effort, what safe guards should be established to protect their schoolin? and their health and well-being." Dr. Herbert Prytherch will be present as well as Southnort rep resentatives and perhaps others irom Beaufort. Thev Tlan to pre sent a brief of the situation and urge the use of children in the fishing industry in the same way they are used at present in agri culture on the grounds that both industries are concerned with food production. The hearing will be stenographi cally reported and copies will be made available by 'the Children's Bureau. A Substitute for Hoil Articles Under Price Ceilings Mr. Woodland, chairman of the Rationing Board, says "Fifteen kinds of used durable goods were brought under specific price ceil ings for the first time bv an OPA regulation, effective September 1.
