J. McKelway, of Washington, D. C., secretary for the Southern States of the National Child Labor Commit tee. Mr. McKelway’s address was de livered at the Sectional Conference on Capital and Labor incident to the World’s Christian Citizenship Con ference, in session at Portland. In addition, Mr. McKelway charg ed the textile manufacturers of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Tennes see and Texas with public opposition to “the eight-hour day for children and the nine-hour day for women workers”. At the conclusion of his address he submitted a "Declaration of Dependence” on behalf of the "children of America, In mines and factories and workshops assembled". He said In part: "In the opposition to child labor reform the textile industry has been even more conspicuous than In ita employment of children. During the legislative sessions of this year, it la the textile Interests of Massachu setts and Peonaylvanla that have fought the eight-hour day for chil dren under sixteen and the textile manufacturer of Tenneeaee and Texas were the public opponents of the elgh* hour dav for children and the nine hour day for women worker* "It la th* cotton manufacturers of the four Southern state* of Georgia Alabama and the Camllnaji that hav* prevented tbe legislature* of ' hoae states from prohibiting the barbarlum of allowing a twelve year old child work an eleven-hoar day - In tha case of Georgia a tea-year-old child Nor are thew* low standard laws adequately enforced la thewe a la lea. ‘ It has been tha fasltloe of tha American people to ead aa abuaw, once Its consequences were fairly un derstood It has heard the Indict ment against the child labor system, that It means not only the injury, physical, mental, moral, to tboasande of Individual children, but an In.'ury to society Itself, and Injury to tha race Th* system atands to-day con victed hy public opinion as gwllty on theaw several counts that It Involves racial dee*neracy. the pwrpe'uatlon of poverty, the rontfnuanoe of de pendency the enlargement of Illiter acy. the increase of rrtme. the disin tegration of the family, the lowering of tha wage scale and the swelling of •he army of the unemployed The verdict is the abolition of child labor In America at whatever cost. "It If be proved that child labor is not eaeentlal to tbe existence of an Industry, then let child labor die and the Induatry live But if It he claim ed that any Industry can not survive without the employment of children, that Industry writes Itself down as unworthy of survival on American noil.” 8HOOTH IN (X)l’RT. fi the slacksyqne school fq?. girls Has Mans 18M ffon "Thoroegft ft OM lowsst posifMs RESULT: It Is to-day with Hi (scatty of 88, a boardbg patroaagt of 803, ‘ mt worth flfib/“ its student body el 413, and Hi plant worth MlSOMO THE LEADING TRAINING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS IN VIRGINIA heat, laundry, medical attention, u Ft , steam culture, and tuition in all subjects except music and elocution.
