KINDS NO (lIILD LABOR IN MILLS OF KAROLINAS Providence Tribune Investigation Ex presses Surprise at Conditions in South. j Oastonia, Feb. 24.—One surprise I awaiting P. McXeilis, who is pule | lishing a series of articles in the | Providence Trihue bearing on his re- > cent personal investigation of southern cotton mill conditions, was that lie found no child labor. So general is the belief in New England that the southern mills work children at the spinning frames that lie was apparent ly not expecting any other con dition. in one of his articles he says: “There was one feature of the j southern mills which'surprised the Tribune’s fact finder. “That was the absence of that class of workers usually labeled ’small help.’ ’ll** saw no child wmrkers at any of the mills visited in either North or South (Nirolina. “If any of them were just above the 14-year limit, they were decidedly large for their years. | “It was said by the overseers ami 1 siqierintendents and some of the op eratives also that further south and west, in Georgia and Alabama, where the hours, as a rule, are longer than they are in the Carolinas, the em ployment of'young children in the cot ton mills is much ns it used to he all over the south a quarter century ago. “The overseers agreed that it was better for the mills and the children too. to keep the latter out of the fac tories and at the scTfools until they were much more than 14. “The size and apparent age of the average young operatives in the mills (.visited was much greater than would bo found among the younger workers in many Rhode Island mills where so large a proportion of the children leave school at 14. as soon as they are entitled to an employment certifi cate. without completing more than the sixth or seventh grade.” THREE FIRES REPORTED DURING THE LAST DAY Home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mills Dapaged; Negro’s Home and Farm er’s Barn Burned.

Secretary Wallace has .found It necessary ,ro quarantine, effective March 10, 1 coifnty in Texas and :?i counties in Mississippi in order to prevr.nt the spread of cattle-fever tieks. Those counties were released from Federal quarantine with the un derstanding that * any .herds of battle which had not been entirely freed of ticks would he heid under local quar antine and regularly dipped every 14 days until the ticks were entirely eradicated. This early release .from quarantine was made in order to re move quarantine restnuj ions, from • hose cattle owners whose herds had been dripped free from ticks, and to open tin* counties to shipments from ‘other sections. The counties' which will be requnr aptir.cd have failed to maintain the 'quarantine over local herds or to car ry out their agreement relative to completing the tick-eradication work. This condition enables the tick to spread, endangers neighboring herds* ftnd is misleading to cattle owners from other sections who might contem plate investment in land or cattle, in areas* which are supposed to he free l‘rom tick infestation. The depart ment has therefore deemed it advisa ble to requarantine such counties un til tla i last tick has been eradicated.
