The Georgian and Newe Is mainly a Georgia paper—It goes some to other states, but not' "“fly Winuchas other papers do. We do not try to get circulation much outside of Georgia. We are making it a home paper. This opportunity is superior to most similar ones given here before, because the wealth of prises which have seldom been equaled are'to be divided to Atlanta and Georgia alone. r *? der *’ the advertiser, who pays three times as much toward the expense of newspapers as the reader pays, needs large circulations to bring him customers. So newspapers can afford to give these inducements from time to time for the benefits they bring their advertisers. The Georgian Is going to SO,000 homes now. and we ex- ' pect to add from five to ten thousand more before this contest ends In February. These “"Mllad prizes are genuine and will be exhibited in prominent places soon. The Georgian does not simply give them away— for we get much In return—but the one who wins the prize need make no outlay, but simply ask her friends to take The Georgian and use the' votes this gives for her benefit.

M'KELWAY, At the meeting of the Tenneaeee legisla ture In January Inst the representatives of organised labor, aided by the stato national child labor committees, endeavored to amend the child labor law for Tennessee by the establishment of a M-hour week. They were tnet by the manufacturing Inter ests with a statement, which can not be de nied, that TenupKsee already had a higher certainly letter than the no-system of the enroll tint, Georgia and Alabama, hence that it wits unfair to ask the Tenuessee manu facturers to take any further steps by way of restrictive legislation until these border- states reached the saute standard. 'ter considerable discussion a committee was appointed from the manufacturers to meet u committee from the ranks of organ ised labor, and It was agreed to urge the passage of u 60-hour week for Tennessee, there being hitherto no limitation upon the number or hours, although the most of the mannforturera of the cotton and woolen mills, being humane and enlightened busi ness men, had already come to the 60-hour standard. Conference I* Called. The results of this conference were such that a further step was takeu, asking for a resolution to be passed by the Tenuessee legislature, Instructing the governor of the state to emit * conference between the tex tile manufacturers of the South, the repre sentatives of organised labor, and others Interested In the welfare of child and wom en workers, to assemble in Nashville for the purpose of ndvocstlug u uniform child labor law for tho Southern states. In due time Governor Patterson Issued a call for this conference to moot In Nashville October 14. The Tennessee manufacturers supplemented the general Invitation Of the governor with an official letter to the Indus trial organisations of the other tfouthero states, and with personal letters to the manufacturers prominent In the Industrial life of the*e states. The representatives of oragnlsed labor were sent by their unions ta of the Houth, from. Texas Him fiRR as well as from Tenueasce. Governors of several of the states appointed special delegates from the factory owners and the humane organisations to attend the conference.

Topics Ars Announcsd. A committee on proecduro was named, of which the writer wna muds chulrinan, and they outlined the routine work of the con vention, recommended tho ap(>olntraent of a committee of eighteen ou resolutions, and suggested thnt the following topics should l»o discussed by the convention und resolu tions upon them adopted: ‘•Ago Limit for the Employment of Chil dren," ••Hours of Labor for Children," "Ago Limit for Night Work." "Age Limit fo Illiterate Children." "Factory Inspection,* ••Law Enforcement." "Relation of Compul sory Educntlou to Child Labor Laws," "Rules and Regulations for the Employment of Girls and Women," "Certificates of Em- •n," "* tnt." "1 I legal i Won "Vag uurrlngoniiic Age and "Muni tar/ Regulation/ Ability of Children to Ho tfic Work Re quired." At the afternoon session of the conven tion resolutions were offered covering all these topics for discussion and the resolu tion* committee met on Monday night. The conference and the committee on resolutions were fortunate In having to deal with a set of humane, broad-minded nnd fnr-seelng manufacturers, who are as concerned lu the welfare of their employees os any of the TWO LITTLE WORKER8, ashamed to report to their focal union* that they had advised a 60-hour Week for tho women and chlhlrcn, but after a thorough discussion the resolution was unanimously adopted by the convention, ns were all tho other resolutions Imth In the committee and In’the convention.

Equal Representation. When the conference assembled Governor 'atterson acted ns temporary chalnnan, gave the address of welcome, which was responded to by Alltert E. 11111 in behalf of the labor unions, atul outlined the purposes of the convention und the history of the movement. The representatives of the la bor tiulons nominated as president of the convention Colouel L. B. Tyson, of Knox ville, president of the largest woolen fac tory In the South. Colonel Tyson announced that on account of the failure of the manu facturer* from other staten to attend the conference (although Georgia and Missis sippi were represented by Tennessee owners or mill* 1 utilise states), the Tennessee manufacturers bad agreed to withdraw frym the conference, since they would lie out voted In the proceedings. The representa tive* of laUtr Immediately offered to give them equal representation with themselves, but the manufacturer* held that as the rep resentatives of the humane organisation were nil In favor of further restriction of the labor of children, it was only fair that the manufacturer* should hare mu equal rote with all others on the floor of the „ committee _ lion* on this subhrt recommende-1 that the manufacturers should have ten rotes and the other Interests ten on all i)Urstfoua on the finer of the conference, and that In the committees the following proportion should be s>bservpil: . Manufacturers eight votes, labor organisation six. humane Interests fonr. This report was unanimously adopted and Colonel Tyson was unanimously elected chairman, and proved himself a most able and Impartial presiding officer, lie bad Tuesday morning at the second session of the committee a compromise was adopted, first setting a time limit for any recoin- •-*• of another slml- I of 1910, by the agreement on the part of the innnufut that th© hours of labor law should at children under 18 Instead of those un< nnd the concession by-the other Interests that a H-hour week should be recommended ns the standard to lie attained In tho next three years Instead of tho 64-hour week. Made Powerful Argument. It should bo said nnd I should like to urge this point, with nil possible emphasis, that tho manufacturers made a powerful argu ment In support of their position, from the fact that Mngpmchunetts, their chief rival In cotton manufacturing, had only reached the standard of it 10-bour day sud the fig- hour week, while renusylvnula allowed children to work 12 hours In the 24, and that the Philadelphia cotton mills were tit t ru mnii per suint-, . a ml that on account of high local freights In the South nml the advantages which the Eastern mills rrftd through their water transportation, the fact of nearness to the cotton field* did not cut very much figure In the case of the Houthern thills. The opinion was freely expressed by the manufacturer* that nn eight-hoar day for hildren under 16 should >m» attained ss soon possible, but that this might result In cliMiing of the fact* -* ‘ ‘ eat hardship to the . believe that these cl fecturers cnn be established, and hence It should tic known lu Massachusetts nnd In •MiisylvunJn that In the opinion of this •nfcraJice the HOuth Is now waiting upon esc older industrial states to take a fur ther the legislatures of these states to follow the example of New* York and imtahllab an eight-hour working day for chlldreu. Resolution Is Opposed. When Ibts resolution was presented to the *iiventl»m there wn* at first strong oppo sition from the representative* of orgnnlzed end _ sixteen consecutive weeks lu each year, ami that school tiooks should lie furnished free to ell the public schools by the state.

"Thnt birth registration In* adopted by those states not uow having them/’ "That no female under the age of 17 or male tinder the age of 19 bo allowed a license to marry.

Tho final nnd general resolution was adopted urging thnt the Industrial organi sations of the 'Houth should proeood with equal steps In the movements of our ad vancing civilization and social betterment. After adoption of these resolutions n "love feast" followed lietween the representatives of capital and hl»or, the convention was ad dressed by several of the prominent politi cians of the state. Including ex-Governor McMillan nnd ex-Governor Cox, n number of Impromptu speeches were made congrat ulating the conference upon the successful termination of Its labors nnd th** harmo nious relations thnt had been established, nud tho conference adjourned sine die. with the recommendation thnt the governor of Tennessee In the year 1910 should call a similar conference. Big Meeting Expected. * In view of the fact that the manufactur ers wore given practically n veto power in the proceedings of the convention, I pre dict that the next convention will be at tended by the manufacturers of the other states. It will probably meet In some other Important city of the South, nnd tlie failure on the part of the manufacturers to attend will be a confession that they are either not open to nrguuient or afraid to face the facts and to hear the opinions of those who are conspicuously Interested In the welfare of the children. I believe that the results of this confer ence. however, will be far-rtsehiu*. it should have Its effect In stimulating nn ad vance In these northern states, which, on account of the lmi*ortnnce of their textile Industries, have still too long hours for the working day for Wom.-n and Children. It presents a standard nml a thorough going program for attainment In the Southern states which are still behind, nnd some of them lamentably behind. In the matter of the protection of the helpless. It faces the manufacturers with the agreement by other manufacturers that this program sbould bo adopted. It presents to tho labor organ isations who at times attempt too ilrnsfic legislation, considering the conditions whlrh must t»e met, especially since their adoption of the eight-hour day program, a plan of action outlined by their representatives from nil parts of the South, ns feasible nnd practical for the Southern states, and It has committed the child labor organisa tions also not to ndvoente more stringent resolutions during the next three years than are here outlined. ~ H. should suggest also tho well known truth that when capital and tabor and tho humane forces of the state can meet to gether In frnnk nnd full discussion, every side of the Issue being presented, that? can bo agreement and the co-operation ef nil these forces for the protection of children nnd womanhood, for the preservation of tho race Itself from deegnerney. nnd f4»r the enactment of humane and progressive legls- Mr*.
