CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH. By GERTRUDE BEEK8. might be doing for the well-being of his workers. In talking with Miss Reeks one gets a very pleasant Impression of progress In the South nnd of betterment in the condition of the cotton mill workers. Her outlook. In general, is optimistic, though always supported by the facts she has to recite. "What about child labor and the tiny tots who spin at midnight?" she was asked. "Certainly," she replied, “I found too rftany children employed In the mills. rrnffl time to time a sensational re- I „f conditions of labor In the South* cotton mill* 1ms made tender- I flirted women think twice before pur- EmM cheap cotton fabrics and ready. underwear at the sales. \ Islam I , Ill-treated men and most especially women and emaciated children Mvln* and spinning In stifling at- ’Lhercs have come to the bustling tomile crowds around tho bargain ta- „d made the wonderfully cheap of sheetings, all machine and, seem like tainted things, nouns snd petticoats, daintily ruffled sometimes crookedly stitched, have luddenlv appeared to become accursed. -No, I never bfly those cheap cot- * ,t the bargain snles," a woman dll say. "Tiny children, weak. thin. Jtunted" In growth, cowed to submls- , on tiy brutal foremen and superin tendents. have spun that cotton Into , nlt hi during the watches of the nliht, and there Is bod luck In the wetring of them.** It was to view with- single eye and unpre'udlced mind the conditions un der which such goods are manufactured (n the South, to learn the manner of living among the milt operatives, to I study the ways of their employers, and to make the acquaintance of the women j ,J.,I children who form so large a part 0 f those employed, that Miss Gertruda [ gffii, took her notebook ana camera , few weeks ago and went from mill town lo mill town and village to vtl- lue In the South. Now she has re turned to New York with a brighter snd more encouraging story than many of those w ho knew of her mission had dared to hope for. Jllss Seeks Is secretary of the wel- fire department of the National Civic i federation. Quickness of perception snd alertness help to make up the first Impression one receives. One Is con-, -,-ced that she would not be back ward in calling nttentlon to nnd trying to right the wrongs of nny mill opera tive, while nt the same time she would I ,ote and appreciate Instantly the good points of an employer and whatever he the most prosperous of Northern farm ing districts. Another photograph was t people how properly to prepare the a couple of dozen school children nalfood," dinner toters. It was explained that I In regard to children with fingerless the hours were so nrrnnged that tlur- I hands. Miss Decks found In one mill Ing the midday hour the small sons I where 1,400 persons were employed one nnd daughters of the mill operatives child of 11 who lost the first Joint of could go home nnd get palls and bask- the second finger In picking waste from ets of luncheon to carry to their pa- the gears which a fellow worker had * ‘ uncovered In violation of the strict rules which provide that the o|ieratlv, shall not clean their machines when In motion. "The records,” said she, "showed comparatively few accidents, nnd It Is not fair to say that there are hundreds of children of 8 years of age losing their fingers." Most Interesting and encouraging Is rents In the mills, returning ngnln to their studies In the afternoon. "Is anything being dono to prevent child labor altogether?" "It probably could not be done. Sev eral of the mill men stated to me that there would always be some child la bor, for, snbl they, ‘we will nlwaya have to provide work for the poor, and If we did not let the children work It I,,.• ii i. „ -n . i i , . ... -l at •*•* cotton mills alone.

"But attack for recreation among the mill workers. | Dance pavilions, swimming pools, ball ... . . , , . i games gymnnelum outfits provide en- I terlalmnent In many of the mill vll- lagea at the expense of the mill own ers.

C °", on ," ns ""•hen the state has provided no fr , om , , ,h ? farming districts. ' pr o ppr way to care for the poverty- prlnclpally isolated mountainous re- stricken, It Is a debatable question how sr . t! n i U ”L th * criticism should be offered for their parents should send their children to the mills. In the economic develop ment of the South remedial legislation has not kept pace with Industrial progress, nor hns public sentiment ed ucated the parents to the point of send ing their children to school Instead of putting them to- work in the mills. “A general prosperity has been brought about by the cotton Industry, nnd the question arises as to whether it ould have been better to have left the people in pauperism and illiteracy than to have taken them Into the man ufacturing districts, where they could secure an Industrial training, with pay, which insures a livelihood, upllfing them by elevating influences nnd se- 1 ring an education for the majority of elr children!” “But how do the children become educated if they spend their time working In- the mills?” "The majority do not work In the mills. Look at this photograph taken in one town. Here are 660 children of mill operatives, outside the school which they attend. Such a school is kept In session eight months In the year through the Interest and at the expense ot the mill owners. Here is another photograph of a primary class; here are small tots in kindergarten vegetable gardens, and what do you think of this kindergarten caketfalk?” A brighter and happier looking crowd of children than those depleted In the photographs one would scarcely find In presence In the, hulls.' Asked If some* of the mill' owners are no. employing children merely out of charity, in order to help their pa rents, Miss Beeks told of a little 7- year-old child of a widow who was hired to sweep, although the sweeping had to be gone over afterward. An other little Kill was allowed h work in the mill with her grandmother be cause otherwise she would have been obliged to go to the poorhouse. A v. "man wlmsc# husband had dl»*d nf •■'•nMimptlon asked to have nor child In til.- mill with her, having no place to leave It during the da/. It was* a question of having the chlil or of re fusing her work. Asked if those children who do work appeared thin and emaciated and if their hands usually lacked a Anger or two, as sometimes stated by sensation al reports concerning Southern condi tions, Miss Beeks stated that the chil dren in the mills'were not ro«»y-cheek- ed, but were more or less yul ?, but that only two children whom she saw In the eighteen mllla she visited could be called thin, and those were not thin in the faces, but thin of arm. "The pale complexion which all mill workers have is largely due to the lack of nourishing food. When bottnfathcr and mother work in the mllla there Is no one to care for the home, and the family Is likely to subsist upon cold canned foods. But now domestic sci ence teachers are being employed by many of the mill owners to Instruct the pending $300 In equipment. The mill operatives use the pool free of charge, while citizens of the town are charged 10 cents apiece for a swim. Most of the mill villages vi wi«*d by Miss Beeks are in South Carolina or Georgia, and at these places she refers to tho conditions under which the op eratives work as "unusually well llght- ed ami ventilated, heated In winter nnd cooled In summer." Slip found one employer having his ribbed windows replaced with clear gin** "to please the employees, because they like to look out,” adding, In an aside, "1 would, too!” In two mills there were emergency hospital rooms fitted up with operating tables and stretchers. One mill owner provided n trained nurse to visit all the families In times of Illness, nnd one hns an Isolation hospital for usa in time of epidemic. "But there is criticism which I must make," went on Miss Beeks. "It Is of the bad ventilation and poor Janltor scrvlce In connection with the toilet arrangements, nnd lack of elevator service. Of course, same of the toilet rooms at the ends of the mills are well ventilated by windows and the exhaust system, but others are in the center of the mills, with no provision for ven- 11 lit t i • >D. I would also urge the m of Introducing rent rooms in the mills, for in some cases girls were seen sitting on the landings of the staircase waiting for work. But In the main, generally, I would say that the mills visited wero unusually sanitary, • omfnrtnhle work places." Speaking of the homes of the oper atives, she referred to the model mill An Honor te Mrs. JoHhson Anti-Child Labor Crssd. Governor Terrell certainly extended a very graceful compliment to Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson In the presentation of tho pen which signed the child la bor bill during the week. Mrs. John son hns worked most earnestly nnd untiringly on this bill and she ha* never wavered In her determination. She has been true nnd constant to the cause from the first to the last and her success In this case, ns In every thing which slip undertakes Is only aii- othpr marked f<» prove her capability and ever-courageous clinging to the right. She hns never given up for one Instant in the success of her theory, an«l while others were awaiting de velopments she was nil the whllo at work on her subject. Mrs. Johnson Is one of the brilliant and exceptionally clever woman, possessing every attri bute of a womanly woman.

"However,” she continued, "general ly the premises arc extremely unit In the cotton mill villages, and only In the homes of the new arrivals from the primitive districts are the Interiors of the cottages unclean. Many a house wife could take lessons In cleanliness from the home of tho average mill op erative. Where they still exist, the old clapboarded houses are being re modeled with weather boarding nr tom down and being finished with walls bt wood fiber, and, where not Includer m the original plans, porches with rail ings are now being added.” "What are the most pressing needs now concerning the mill workers of the South?” "In South Carolina legislation is needed to provide for compulsory edu cation nnd the appointment of truant officers. There should bo more fac tory Inspection to starngthen the child labor law. There should, too, be an amendment in tho child labor law to Increase tho ago limit from 12 to 14, and tho requirements concerning birth registration nnd marriage license should be more stringent. "A great deal of unfair criticism has been showered upon the mill owners, yet. In spite of this, they are giving food, shelter and Industrial training to these illiterate descendant* of the first inhabitants of the colonies, and through their 'Welfare' work are a great civ ilizing Influence among the mill work ers.”—New York Times. Tho Woman's Home Companion, magazine published In New York by the Crowell Publishing Company, Is fighting to the finish in the campaign against child labor. Article* from such men as Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsey, Owen Lovejoy, Jack London and Ho mer Davenport will be found In the September number of this magazine. Dr. Lindsey has helped to draft the following creed, written for The Wom an's Home Companion: 1. We beJlove In the right of every child to health and education. 2. We believe thdt child labor In terferes with that right 3. We believe that child labor Is In Itself cruel and wasteful; that It Is mentally, morally nnd physically Inju rious to the child; and that It Is a distinct menace to the nation. 4. We believe that no child under 14 should work in a factory, workshop, mercantile houso, store, office, hotel or apartment! house, In any place of pub lic amusement, or should bo employed In making, preparing or distributing articles of salo or commerce at home or In nny pla^e In the nature of a fac tory, workshop or mercantile establish ment. 5. We believe that no child between 14 and 16 should be permitted to .work under the conditions specified unless the child .’fin read fluently and write legibly simple sentences In the English language. 6. We believe that no child under 1C should bo employed between the hours of 7 p. m. and 1 a. ra., or longer than eight hoprs in any twenty-four hours, or longer than forty-eight hours a week. 7. We belleva fJiat no child under 16 should be employed In occupations dangerous to life, limb, health or morals. 6. Wo believe In tho establishment of a permanent children’s bureau to be conducted by the national government, for the purpose of Investigating nnd reporting upon general conditions di rectly Involving the welfare of children, especially all matters connected with child labor. 9. We believe that uniform laws against child labor should be enacted without delay in every state, territory nnd colonial possession ot the United States. Vacation School j n St. Leuis The vacation schools which hava boon conducted In St. Louis during the summer ore this week finishing tho »|* weeks' course, and will exhibit the work done by tho scholars. The school Is, of course, free to all of the pupils, nnd the teachers have vied with them selves to see how economic they could be, and to make each department self- supporting. This has been accomplish ed by contributions and sales. The grocers have given to the cooking de partment; tho merchants have sent ■ -J. I- 'K iii.i':r< Nv. . .,Ii. 1 .-h.-i-tM to the housekeeping department, and the gas company ha* given gas and stoves frea. In the cooking department Miss Jen nie Crowder, the teacher of this work, ha* suggested n help to all housekeep ers of Ht. Louis. She says If whole some and delicious food can be cooked in the public schools, why should they not supply food for thoso who ara without cooks, thereby solving the do mestic problem. Tlw pottery which hns been made by tho pupils will he for sale at the close of tho term, as well ns other useful articles. By this means the work for the year Is partlal- !\ j 'iM for. ui'l t• f ■' I* f asily made up by popular subscription.

One of tho most Interesting camps around the lake Is thnt held by the Grotan School.

At th" end of that period tii"y give placo to nnother party of pitiful look ing little creatures who soon lenrn to swim mid row and feel tin* Joy of living. Thero is a similar philanthropic camp here for young girls, I am, told. < >no of the unique features of sum mer llfo nt Lake 8quam Is the open alr service JuJd on .Sunday afternoon* at Chocortin Island. Ah we sailed up 1 a beautiful sight to sea tho wntor covered with row boats, launches, canoe*, little steamers, all gathering front every direction to land at Cho- corun. Thert? nature hns bullded a most beautiful cathedral. The tall birch tries interlace Into n lofty dome; In the center thero Is an altar of great gray rocks, behind which rises a white cross of birch, and In front a reading desk of a sing!" stone, which stands just ns nature formed It. AH around nr#* placed rustic seats made from branches of tho trees, and when these wero filled tho congregation snt upon tho moss-covered ground or the great boulders. It was a wonderfully 1m- presslvo service. This Is truly a Jnke of infinite varie ty. Usually it Is so peaceful that little children bntho upon tho smooth beach nnd row In nnd out among Its numher- l"ss small Islands. Hut last evening wlu-n w" w.nf out In th#- launch to wafi'li th" wonderful effect of the fad ing sunlight upon the lake and distant mountain peaks, a strong western wind blew coldly, the great waves rocked our little boat to ond fro and the white caps dashed the spray Into our faces. Upon all the broad surface of tho lake usually so gay with sailing parties, ours was tho only boat to bo seen, and when m last w«* landed at our dock It was a welcomo sight to see the lights shining and a gn at Hr#- burning on tho hearth. As wo gathered close around tho blazing logs the shadows deepened outside and some of us thought of our home In tho South far away from Bquam Lake. L. H. and T. M. Fitzpatrick. Charles E.
