NO CHILDREN IN THE MINES. California Eliminates Children Under Sixteen From Mines and Quarriea. Among the new limits established by the California child labor law of 1915 Is a sixteen year limit for mines and quarries. California has mining prod ucts valued at more than $(53,000,000, according to the 1910 census, but she has never before set an age limit for the children who might be employed in their production. Now that a sixteen year limit has been adopted no fourteen or fifteen year old trapper boys will be found among the victims of an explosion, as was the case in West Virginia last year, nor will their thoughtlessness be the cause of disasters in which others are killed, as it sometimes is where boys under sixteen are permitted to work in mines. Mining has the highest fatal accident rate of any industry, but quarrying is not far behind. A signal boy was crushed to death by a falling stone in Photo by National Child Labor Committee. BOYS WHO BEHOVE SLATE FROM COAL IN THE BREAKERS. a Maine quarry last fall. The occupa tion of signal boy is not generally sup posed to be dangerous, but it is evident from this that any occupation in a quarry is unsafe for young boys and that a sixteen year limit is imperative. A number of mining states having both mines and quarries have adopted a sixteen year limit for mines only, forgetting that the dangers from fall ing stone and blasting make the pres ence of young boys in quarries a risk to be avoided. California’s action is regarded as particularly significant by the National Child Labor Committee in view of the “law of recurrence” which Dr. Felix Adler spoke about at the Eleventh An nual Conference on Child Labor. I)r. Adler said that the evils of child labor had followed industrial development from England to New York and Mas sachusetts, from there to the south and from the south would go to the west unless the west prevented it by enacting child labor laws in advance. Child labor in the mines will not “re cur” in California. FORESTALLING CHILD LABOR. By FELIX ADLER. The question is sometimes asked: “Why have a National Child Labor Committee? Why not have state com mittees and let these co-operate?” One sufficient answer to this is that the appearance of child labor in those states in which there is as yet little or no manufacturing must be fore stalled, and a national committee is needed to this end. Anti-child labor laws must pre-empt the ground before a greedy industrialism can stretch forth its hands to grasp the child. The law of periodicity, the law of re currence, that has hitherto obtained in the matter of child labor must be defeated. England began, Massachu setts, Pennsylvania, New York follow ed suit. The same inconceivable out rages on human feelings repeat them selves again and again. Whenever a predominantly agricultural community develops into an industrial stage the horrors exposed by Lord Shaftesbury tend to recur. Mankind does not read ily learn by experience. The warning lessons of the past are often writ in water. Thus the industrial states of the north simply stepped into the foul footsteps of early English capitalism, and the south, ns soon as it became in dustrial, hastened to repeat the same doleful story. The great states of the Pacific and the west must thwart that horrible law and make it impossible that the same conditions should there grow up. That is the one main object of a national committee. Don’t fail to read the two install ments of “The Black Box” in this week’s issue of The Enterprise. It will be interesting from start to fin ish. Read it and then see it at. the Grand Theatre Wednesday night. THE CHILDREN’S CRY. I said: "I am poor this year, and the war is hard. I cannot give to the things I love to aid. So this must go. and this, in the great discard. And the children must suffer, too, I am much afraid.” Hut I didn’t know how 11try cry tn the night And pluck at t/nnr skirts and mourn, H<tw they cry uith the voice of your heart's delight And the faces your dead have worn. There are boys that work all night in the crystal dust. There are girls who spin all day at the whirring wheels, And how shall I face my dead with my broken truet When the “Inasmuch as ye did it not” reveals? / couldn’t bear their cry to the night, ir/ie clutch of their little hands. I must do my best witt i the widow's mtts To loosen the iron bands. —L. B. m i ■ ■■ -i i. ■ ——— Church Directory METHODIST CHURCH. Rev. H. M. Morrison, Pastor.
