CHILD LABOR IS |
INCREASING IN
ALL SECTIONS
.- — - '
CHICAGO, Aug. 21 (by Associat
ed Press).—Four thousand more
children are working in Chicago today
than a year ago, according to Clyde
A. Brown, acting director of the city
vocational guidance bureau. The in
crease in child labor is said to be
general in the Middle West but ex
ceptions noted in Missouri, Kansas
and North Dakota.
Necessity of the child helping the
family meet the high cost of living,
the pulling power of high wages and
scarcity of adult labor together with
the discovery of employers that
women and children often take the
place of men were cited by Mr. Brown
among reasons for a similar increase
in child labor in other parts of the
United States.
Minnesota officials report that child
labor is nearly doubled in that state
and the greatest increase, they say,
is among children of the “white col
lar” class whose parents have beeir
forced by rising prices to permit
their children to work. About 3,000
under 16 years of age are now at
•work in Minnesota.
Wisconsin statistics on child labor
for the year are not yet tabulated
but officials say enough returns are
in to indicate a considerable increase
over previous years, Some boys un
der 16 years have been reported as
receiving $100 a month.
T. C. Jennings, Texas state labor
commissioner, reports an increase of
about ten per cent in Texas child
labor over last year. Postponement
of compulsory school attendance he
says has been a factor.
State Labor Commisioner Claude
E. Connally of Oklahoma says more
violations of child labor laws have
been brought to the attention of his
office this year than previously
from which he deduces an increase
in juvenile workers. Connally said
the increase in violations was probab
ly due to the fact that there was 30
per cent more jobs in the state than
workers.
A. L. Crick, Iowa labor commission
er, recently reported that approxi
mately 1,000 more permits had been
issued in the past year to children
between the ages of 14 and 16 than
the year previous.
Kansas and North Dakota report j
child labor in those states as almost
negligable. St. Louis reports a de
crease. Children now employed in
that city are stated to number 5,900,
which is <50 less than were at work
there a year ago. The state factory
inspector s ottice says the decrease
is general all over the state. The
federal tax on child labor is given
as the cause of the decrease.
A professor of the department of an
thropolgy of the University of Chi
cago recently told the members of his
class that some time in the future,
hair, teeth, and little toes would be
missing from the members of the hu
man race. “Predigested food, hats
and shoes have rendered hair, teeth,
and the little toe useless,” he said.
“The time will come wrhen the man,
woman or child possessing these will
he a freak. All parts of the body not
put to use will gradually disappear.”
Following out the professor’s method
of reasoning, the fifth generation of
the Thomas Lawson family will be
nothing but an animated gall bladder.

JAPS ESCAPE
PROVISIONS OF
NEW LAND LAW
MANILA, Aug. 21 (by Associated'
Press).—The Japanese Consul Gener
al S. Kursu, conferred recently with
Dr. Galicano Apacible, secretary of
agriculture and natural resources, re
garding the status of the eighteen
Japanese estates in the province of
Davae, island of Mindanao, which
are not affected directly by the new
Philippine land act.
Those estates are being worked by
Japanese corporations which employ
about 10,000 Japanese laborers in the
cultivation of hemp. These corpora
tions as a whole are not affected by
the public land act, as a provision
was incorporated in the law stipulat
ing that leases of public lands filed
prior to a certain date would not
come under the new act which con
fines the right to lease to Americans
and Filipinos or American and Fili
pino companies.
The eighteen Japanese companies
had commenced operations prior to
the passage of the land act.
Secretary Apacible explained to the
Japanese consul that no obstacles
would be placed in the way of the
companies concerned, but that it
would be necessary to review the
papers in each case and to consider
complaints, if any, from persons
claiming private lands or homesteads
within the boundaries of the corpora
tion’s holdings.

SERVE IN JAIL
THAN PAY TAX
LONDON, Aug. 21 (by Associated
Press).—Sir W. B. Richmond, royal
academician, will go to jail rather
than pay the increased taxes 'now
being charged by the Hammersmith
borough council. He writes to the
local press: “I have refused to com
ply with this Bolshevist demand of
£149 annually on my house and
grounds just under two acres. I
would rather, at the age of 70 years,
go to prison than be a party to such
injustice and robbery.”
