Shevlin, the essayist. Q.—What is the slogan of the Bak ers' Union? A.—If you eat more flour You'll have more power. Union Bread's the best— Just pass up the rest. Q.—When did the American Feder ation of Labor take up the fight against child labor? A.—The A. F. of L., since its in ception in 1881 has advocated laws prohibiting child labor. The first con stitution adopted by the Federation said: "We are in favor of the passage of laws in the several States forbid ding the employment of children un der the age of 14 in any capacity, under penalty of imprisonment."
