In 1SS0 there were in the United State-, l.US.T.C children under fifteen jears of age emplojed in various oc cupations The National Child l.abor Committee of New York City estimate-, that one-sith of all children in the United States are now working in industries The sanle committee points out the incwtable result, "Geor gia, 30.9 per cent of all children ten to thirteen jears old at work, JO" per cent of the population over ten jears old illiterate." In Wisconsin pea canneries federal investigators receive such report-, as these: "We draw most of our gnls from the near-b countrj schools as we need them." "He does not pay for the time the cmplojes arc held idle at the factor so ills regular shift would not be satis fied with shorter hours " "Work fourteen hours a daj when the .season is well started." "Longest day worked, tvvent-four hours on Saturday." The average wage for women and girls in these canneries last jear was twelve and a half cents an hour, wan ing from seen and a half to twent cents an hour. In Georgia cotton mills, the source of much strong opposition to the pres ent bill, children a erase more than .sktj hours a week according to fed eral reports. As the reports of these commissions working for Congress are scanned it is hard to understand why a similar, child labor bill was voted down two jears ago. Under the present pres sure from political parties, trade un ions, charity organizations and Presi dent Wilson a defeat of the bill would for its opponents be little short of po litical suicide as well as industrial cruelty.

That dearly loved institution, "the leave to print,"' under which Congressmen annually send, postage free, to their constitu ents tons of imaginarj- speeches they I never made liberally sprinkled with mjthical "laughter" and psychological I "applause" is to be curtailed if a bill considered favorably today by both houses passes. A bipartisan report from the joint printing committee urges these facts j in favor of the bill: A million volumes a ear, many of them printed on fine paper and bound in leather, have to be sold as waste paper because no one takes the trouble to frank them out. Janitors and buildings superinten dents complain that whole basements are virtuallj- filled with virtual waste paper, so that the government has to rent additional space to store coal and wood. Private manfacturing firms, acting in collusion with Senators and members have had printed and franked at pub lic expense "puffs" virtual ads though described as "expositions" of their plant;, fao'orics and industries 31 a j Now Print Anj thing. The present rules of both houses are: A member or senator maj obtain the printing of anj thing as a "public document," Sixteen hundred are auto matically struck off; thereafter the Senator or the man he is aiding- maj have the Government printing olhce strike off as nianj more as are wished at cost The Senator's frank will send and number.

The new bill provides for cutting down of departmental documents, all of which are by law required to be printed now, and provides that Senate and House committees must examine eveiy document vvh'ch it is proposed to print To prevent possible suppres sion of reports which the Senate maj wish printed it is provide J the houses may overrule committee action, or in action. This bill has passed the House at previous sessions and the Senate in pievious sessions, but if both lKidies ever passed it in the same session, it was invariably found the two measures differed slightlj', and a compromise never has been reached. The annual waste is estimated at $1,000,000, for printing, that for frank irg cost to the postal department can not be measuied, but is is said to be much more than that We Will Repair It All work guaran teed.
