THURSDAY, NOVEMBER h 1923 THE EMPLOYERS OF CHILD LABOR For 26 years educators, legislators social workers and trade unions have fought this menace with every wea pon within their reach, and have ex pended many hundreds oi thousand; of dollars in campaigns against chilu labor. A growing public sentiment has been aroused against the employ ment of young children in industry. Despite of it the evil persists, often under conditions as shocking as those revealed recently in Newark and Jersey City where a survey by the New Jersey State Departmen t of Labor disclosed nearly a thousand children doing contract labor ai home under sweatshop environment of a revolting type. These tenemen children, many of them tubercular, and otherwise diseased were making so-called “sanitary powder puffs,’ beaded dresses .assisting with doli clothes and working on tin toy. which were to bear the proud labe “Made in America”. Their work wa done in filthy surroundings that ren dered the products a menace to the ultimate consumer. In sp.te of such revealations as this, which from time to time havi come to thie public not co, child labo1 persists and is even on the increase In 1920 during a time of. indiistri;. deprersier: 1 o • • : r one million eiiiiureu Hudi +>■ M 1 . years of age dn various occupation Since the doenion o‘. the Suprein court last spring reports received b. the Children's Bureau iudicaie an in crease of 42 per cut m the nf.nihr of certificates issued. Ti.e e chu. ren are not only employed in Net York tenements, but trey are ui ih •cotton mills of Now lingiaad and th South, in the coal mines in canning industries and sugar-beet fields. 1 New York state in 1920 there.were nearly 50,000 child wage earners, « whom 2,000 wore injured according to compensation insurance report* The conditions revealed by invetiga tors and Congressmen should male self respecting American employers hide their faces in shame. Kobbine children that to which they are en titled—education, health, happiness and opportunity for play is little les than criminal, and t is unfortunate than criminal and it is unfortunate that the Supreme court did not loot at the question from that angle. Th get-rich-quick ambition of many Am erican manufacturers regardless o human life and the future of the n tion, is a matter that needs instant attention. Any industry that cannt exist without resorting to these methods for profit is a public menace —breeders of crime and criminals, on a par with small pox and should receive similar attention at the hand? of the coneuming public and state . authorities. Information from Washington is ‘to tho effect that the United States stand* ready to give recognition t Russia when a government exists that is in acoord with American ...Standards. This probably mean® , .-.when the American administration .. is . satisfied that the government of . . Russia is what a majority of the Rus ■ sian people want. That is standard Upon which the United States ic ... .founded. For a long time the gov erpment of Mexico d:d not meet the MAmerican standard but that seems to have been arranged ^ntisfactgriW. The government of Turkey is not ex Mr-'*-—«"• **#»— actly according to American stan dards. A Republic of Imperialism cannot be held as an American standards—hence cur is solation and aloofness from Europe-' an political affairs.

THE GAZETTE IN EVERT HOMB SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM The double-tracking of die Southern Railway trunk line from Wash ington to Atlanta, 637 miles, cost $52,000,000. Southern Railway System last year spent in the South $20,000,000 more than it. received from the South. Plowing back the earnings In the ten years ending 1920 freight traffic on the Southern Railway System more than doubled. This was a very much larger gain than was shown by the railroads^' of the country as a whole. The South was growing faster than the rest of the country. The Southern had to meet the test, but we had provided for such a demand. In these ten years we had expended $104,000,000 of new capital to increase the carrying capacity of our lines. » Our double-track had been increased from 443 to 1,021 miles; yard tracks and sidings from 2,786 to 3,351 miles; the tractive power of our locomotives had been increased 40 per cent; our average freight trainload had mounted from 274 to 500 tons, a notable gftin in operating efficiency. Of the $104,000,000 expended for additions and betterments, $21,000,000 only was ob tained by the sale of new. securities. The other $83,000,000 was taken from earnings and used in the improvement of the properties. The upbuilding of the Southern Railway Sys tem to keep pace with the South has bean planned with an understanding of die trans portation needs of the South by men bred in me traditions ofthe South to know itspraWapM^ The Southern serves the South, and it will serve the greater South of the future.
