THREEU1P0RTANT QUESTIONS.
The Bareaii of: Labor and Printing
hai just finished reViewing and ed
iting niany hundreds of letters
which have recently been received
at the department from the farm
era, mechanics, manufacturers and
editors of the State expressing
their opinions upon the provisions
of the present child labor law,
the condition of wage earners and
the subject of immigration.
The prevailing sentiment. Bays
Ur. Shipman, the ' assistant com
missioner who made this review;
is favorable to the law restricting
child labor in the mills, as amend
ed by the General Assembly of
1907, especially among the man
ufacturers who offered no opposi
tion to the passage of the bill,
which was introduced in the House
by a representative mill man. A
large number of the farmers, me
chanics and editors express the
belief that the age limit should
have" been placed at fourteen in
stead of twelve, with an educa
tional "qualification attached.
There is a general demand for the
enforcement of the law, as it is,
and some suggestions to the effect
thai state and county officials are
neglecting to co-operate in an eff
ort to see that its provisions are
respected. : No special machinery
has been provided for the purpose
and this duty is, therefore, in
cumbent upon solicitors and grand
juries. V--
A- shortage is reported in All
classes of labor and favorable con
ditions prevail among wage-earners
generally. Wages have ad
vanced materially in almost 'every
pursuit and profession and many
employers complain that they can
not afford to "pay the price." A
considerable percentage of the
farmers find difficuly in obtaining
labor at any consideration and
are resorting: to the use of labor-
saving machinery as the best and
only solution of the problem.
They say that since wages have
advanced there is a noticeable dis
inclination to work regularly upon
the part of i the working classes,
especially the colored population,
which has fallen into the practice
of ' working three' or four days a
week and "loafing" the remainder
of the time. It is not believed
that wae camera" as a rule, are
applying, their rearnings 'to any
better advantage than they did
undsr former conditions. This is
ejpocially trujj of the negro, who
is inclined to. leave the farm and
eppgregate in the jfcowns. v v
ht subject pf immigration is
Ireeiy'dUcussed and a large majors
ity ot these letters contain expres
sions favorable to the proposition
of attracting desirable classes to
ur " farms 'and factories. . This
matter i treated at length by
every -cbsi reporting, and in an
intelligent manner. - Emphasis is
placed upon the importance of ex
cludins inferior races, whose pres
enca - among , ns might retard the
,5Xoress of our people, or create
yatisf action in the ranks cf our
.lpative wagdHBarners. Favorable
mention is frequently made of the
English; Scotch, German, Swiss,
Canadian - and representatives of
other nationalities of Celtic or
Teutonic extraction, as acceptable
elacses V for -settlernent hsrel : A
goodly number take the position
that there is an abundance of labor
in the", state' nd" no "foreigners"
are needed. : The flatter idea pre-r
vails more generally among the
mechanics. , .V m- .
The concensus of opinion, which
it is claimed exists in: -the estate
regarding &ild labor, the condi
tions of wage-earners and the ques
tion of immigration, as being set
forth, appear to be a correct cOn
elusion of the real situation indi
cated by visible evidence in every
section of North Carolina, It fits
the "situation" in this part of the
country very .conclusively. .: : Our
farmers, in particular, have,- for
some years past, experienced great
difficulty in securing needed as
sistance, even at the advanced
wage scale. The few -negroes
found in the county have flocked
to Hendersonville and neighbor
ing towns in hope of "falling into
easy places. ' . Their places must
be supplied in some way and intel
ligent, industrious and peaceable
classes from abroad will find prof
itable employment on the farm
and in the trades. Little is
known up here about child labor
in the mills, as we have few man
ufacturing establishments, , but
nearly everybody adheres to the
opinion that all children should
be put in school until they have
completed the common school
course.
PARKER HITS BRYAN.
In a recent speech at Schenect
ady, New York, Hon. W. J. Bryan
made the statement that while in
congress he advocated a law to
protect depositors from such con
ditions as prevailed in New York
city last week, when a number of
Lbanking institutions closed their
doors. Upon reading Mr. Bryan's
statement Judge Alton B. Parker,
former democratic candidate for
President, felt impelled to give
out this gratiutous fling regarding
the same: ' -
"How glorious it is to be a
heaven-born- financial genius.'
What a pity congress could not
have appreciated the wonderful
advantages of such a law. Had
they appreciated it, we would not
have needed yesterday the patriot
ism of J. Pierpont Morgan that
prompted him to throw twenty
seven millions into the maelstrom
at a critical moment ; the 25,000,
000 of the government, the ten
million of Rockefeller, and the
money and strenuous labor of
public spirited and honest bank
ers and business men, who strove
mightily to save business gener
ally, and therefore eyery citizen
from ultimate injury. ; .
? "I am sorry that be -'did bot
mention the title of the bill. In
the absence of : the 'specifications
there would be those who will
think that its title, may have been
16tol." ; . , - C. si
The voluntary contribution "to
the gaiety of the situation" rig
entirely unworthy of the man we
had thought Judge Parker to be.
Of course Mr,. Bryan will easily
survive the attack just as, he sue
ceeded iu receiving several hun
dred thousand more yotes .than
Judge Parker tor president,' .Fur
thermore, he can tell more about
real matters of public import in
one hour than 'Judge Parker ever
knew. ' -; .-' v: ? -. :- vr'
Henderson county . has " been
"coming in" for a-' good . deal. of
free advertising sinfee her people
recently. put themselves on record
as favoring the great railroad
scheme proposed for this section
of . North Carolina. The Hustler
has also occupied a position at
"top of column next to reading
matter,!' in the newspapers of the
tenth district and the state. '- We
believe, oyer here, that a thing
worth doing at all, is worth doing
well and :that "nothing succeeds
like success." : Thank vou, neigh-
Dors, one and all, ,
"'The financial methods employ id.
in New Tork were put to 'the test
last week and but for the prompt
relief extended by the - United
States Treasury, J, Pierpont Mor
gan and John D. Rockefeller se
rious trouble could knot have-been
averted. , But it would have 'mat
tered" very little, as Wall ' Street
needs a ! thorough cleaning-any
way. A large: number of ' the
smaller banking institutions have
recently closed their doors and the
end may hot be yet.
The Dispatch reaches out a ban d
cpvered with red ink to the Hen
dersohviUe; Hustler, and congrat
ulates that red hot journal on the
success on the bond!' issue for the
proposed railroad.- Red inkis
what did it, but 'the Hustler ran a
fearful risk of being set on fire.
Lexington Dispath. ; .
Thanks, beloyed. - The ' Hustler
has the habit of taking l6ng
chances" on bringing things , to
pass especially if the "end- seems
to justify the; means."; We want
that new railroad and would not
mind a right smart scorching to
get it. .' V : '." :. 7 - V :
And now the public is informed
that Charles W. Fairbanks, Vice
President of the United- States,
"has dropped out of the race" for
the presidency next year. Says
he is not a candidate "actively,
tentatively or respectively." -The
fact about the matter is that Mr.
Fairbanks has never been jn the
4,running" very seriously and
those Roosevelt cocktails, served
recently at his reception to the
President, further contributed to
his undoing.- , . s . -
' Now lets turn our attention to
the subject of good roads again,
remembering the simple and yalu
able suggestions given to pur peo
ple by Mr. Eldridge, of the De
partment of Agriculture at;Wash
ington, who recently made a tour
of the tenth district with Con
gressman Crawford. Eachr road
supervisor should, paste those sug
gestions in his hat. There' ate ten
of them, you know;' the ' Good
Roads Commandments."
That is disappointing news from
Mr. Rudolph- Forster "acting
secretary to the President," who
says: "The President does, not
contemplate taking another hunt
ing trip in - the near future."
This means that the Toxaway
Bruin may feel secure for. Borne
time to come.
