Pharaoh said of their new born children, ‘‘lf it be a son, kill him."” Only God, who heard the moan of the mothers, knows how many were killed in the hovels of Egypt’s laborers. Herod feared the coming Messiah. ‘‘He slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coast thereof, from two years old and under.”’ v Scarcely three score were slain by him. BUT YOU — your Government reports say, ‘THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND CHIiDREN DIED FROM NEGLECT AND WANT LAST YEAR.” Over eight hundred a day. When you ‘shudder over Pharach’s cruelty and the inhumanity of Herod, think of this! Drink, the brothel, the lack of a living wage, these breed the convicts whom we chain and drive to make us gold— gut at last the blow falls upon the hearts and lives of women and chil ren. YOU READ OF THE DEAD CONVICT NEAR LAGRANGE. HE HAD BEEN IN THE GANG TWO WEEKS. “BEATEN TO DEATH,” THEY SAY. HE LEAVES A WIFE AND A TWO-YEAR OLD CHILD. Daisy Worthington Worcester writes, ‘‘l hardly know which pre sents the dreariest spectacle, that of the sad-eyed child attending her spinning frames, turning toward you a wistful little face, with its mute appeal for just a glimpse of childhood, or that of the expectant mother, to whom each step of the many hundreds that she must take in the twelve-hour day brings the intensest physical pain. “A DOCTOR SAID, ‘IT IS NO WONDER THAT SUCH LARGE NUMBERS OF BABIES DIE. THE WOMEN RARELY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY AT HOME AND NURSE THEM. ” In one of the largest mill centers of North Carolina, ‘‘out of one hundred and thirteen deaths among the families of cotton mill workers twenty-four under two years of age, sixteen between two and twelve, forty-nine between twelve and thirty—of these forty-nine deaths, thirty six were due to diseases of the lungs. In this same locality the under takers verified this statistical information by the statement that most of the coffins purchased by the mill people were for young boys and girls.”’ United States Government reports show ‘‘Female operatives have a decidedly higher death rate than non-operatives. This is most marked in respect to tuberculosis: the death rate of female operatives from this cause being in general more than twice that of non- operatives and in some of the age groups running up many times as high. Thus in the age groups fifteen to twenty-four, twenty-five to thirty-four, and thirty five to forty-four, the death rates from tubereulosis per thousand were respectively two and one-fourth times, two and one-half times, and five times those among women of the same age group outside of the cotton industry.”’ ATLANTA AND GEORGIA ARE VERY VITALLY INTER ESTED IN THESE FACTS. YOU CAN NOT FLIPPANTLY DIS. MISS THEM -YOU WILL NOT. At present a strike is on in one of our largest mills. The strikers claim that between seven and nine hundred workers are out because of unbearable conditions in the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills. The mill owners -claim that only about seventy-eight are out and that conditions in their mills are better than in any others and are constantly being improved. : But all who have looked know that sanitary conditions are unspeak able in the mill settlement. And all who know aught of charity in At lanta are aware that thousands of dcllars go to relieve the needs of mill workers. : No harm can come of an impartial investigation of conditions in this mill. Much good may be accomplished by it. IF AN INJUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE THE MILL OWNERS, IMPARTIAL MEN CAN RIGHT IT. IF CONDITIONS ARE CAUS ING WOMEN AND CHILDREN TO SUFFER, THEY CAN BE— THEY WILL BE CORRECTED. _The owners of the Funlton Bag and Cotton Mills want no money from the starved lives of women and children, The workers do not want to ruin or harm the mill upon the suc cess of which their welfare must depend. Both want only their rights. And the public asks that both do justice. Let the truth be known. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT
