Coronado Decision One of Four
Showing Definite Trend Toward
Restriction of Labor Freedom
EQUALS TAFF-VALE CASE, IS THE
OPINION OF PRESIDENT GOMPERS
By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C, Tune 16. In a decision which President Gorapers,
of the A. F. of L., compares to the famous Taff-Vale decision of England
and which Senator La Follette says should have been written in six lines,
the United States Supreme Court has delivered to labor the fourth blow
within a year.
The decision in the Coronado case, involving the United Mine Workers
of America, before the court for two years, is one of a series of definitely
anti-labor decisions in the sense that they deny to labor the right to do
things that labor has considered it lawful and constitutional to do.

PEOPLE WILL GO OVER SUPREME COURT
AND PUT AN END TO ALL CHILD LABOR
Constitutional Amend
ment to Be Demanded
to Protect Future
Generation and Make
Country Greater and
Better Than Ever.
International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C, June 16. The
people of the United States are go
ing over the heads of the Supreme
Court to obtain regulation of child
labor.
Either a court-proof law or the
amendment of the constitution is the
next step. The child labor conference
called by Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of La
bor, concurred in this decision and in
the plan of amending inadequate state
law to bring them up to the federal
standard.
The action of the United Stales
supreme court on May 5, 1922, declar
ing unconstitutional the second fed
eral child labor law passed Februarr
24, 1910, amazed and aroused the
country.
The "first federal child labor law,
passed in September, 1916, and de
clared unconstitutional in June, 1918,
forbade the employment in manufac
turin gestablishmcnts of children un
der 14 years of age and provided the
conditions under which children be
tween 14 and 16 years of age might
legally be employed. When regula
tion by prohibition was declared un
constitutional, regulation by taxation
was attempted.
After the first failure the federal
standards were to some extent main
tained through the war power of the
War Labor Policies Board, which
incorporated the standard in the war
contracts. The United States is now
faced with the destruction of all of
the work previously done in the es
tablishment of federal child labor
standards.
A few states have laws which meas
ure up to the standard established by
the federal child labor law. These
are:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Con
necticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Okla
homa, Orecron, Tennessee, Vermont,
West Virginia, W isconsin, Wyoming.
The effect of the destruction of the
child labor standards' is illustrated by
the conditions existing during the
period between the first and second
child labor laws, when no federal
regulation of child labor exited. The
effect was apparent in every industry
that child labor could be employed.
The Children's Bureau of the U. S.
Department of Labor has just issued
a statement of the conditions of child
labor in the oyster and shrimp can
ning industries on the Gulf coast dur
ing this period, which tells what hap
pens when there is no regulation of
child labor. Children as young as six
years of age were employed.
Wages of all workers in the can
neries were reduced to a pittance by
the practice of the employers in im
porting families from the north. As
many as 3,500 workers migrated an
nually from Baltimore alone to the
Gulf coast canneries. Everything is
piece work and children can shuck
oysters as well as grownups. There
is work for the entire family. Regu
lation of migratory families is prac
tically impossible, however, and, the
children suffer in health, education
and morals to an extent that should
be impossible in the United States.
Only federal regulation can improve
these conditions.
In. none of the states included in
the study was the enforcing machin
ery adequate to secure the application
of such standards as their laws pro
vided. "Premature child labor," the
report states, "and no compulsory
education laws, or poorly enforced
compulsory education laws, go hand
in hand."
Sanitary conditions are not estab
lished because the employers claim
it would take away their profits. Chil
dren suffer with injuries from sharp
oyster shells and wicked knives, and
from sore hands caused by an acid
in the shrimp heads. The women and
children stand all day in the water
It appears clear that under this last

or in cold, dark, draughty sheds. The
migratory workers live in camps es
tablished by the employers and are
called to the job at any hour, night
or day, when a catch comes in.
None of the pa' in the canneries
is sufficient to support a man with a
family. The reason for the prefer
ence for imported labor is indicated
by a remark of one of the employ
ers: "They have to be on the job
around ahe factory or else we will
run them out of the camp and re
fuse to pay their fare back. We hold
it over their heads. It is like sea duty
to the sailor. When they live in your
cam) vou have got them under your
thumb!"
Earnings are very small. Even in
war time the average earnings were
less than $5 per1 week. In some cases
children who worked regularly 'were
unable to earn more than 50 cents a
week. The rate varied from 1 1-3C
to 5c a pound for oysters and from
ic to 3c in the case of shrimps.

History has been made by this de

something new. This decision, taken
together with others of the past year
;.i.a with still others of the preceding
year, show the definite trend of mind
of the United States Supreme Court,
case by case, inch by inch narrowing
the limits of labor's freedom and
seeking to limit its activities.
Gompers Says
This decision (Coronado case)
comes as the climax of decisions of
the United States Supreme Court in
the last few months against labor
since the ascension to the chief jus
ticeship of Mr. Taft. It is a blow at
the very foundation of the organrzed
labor movement in the United States.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLVIII. TERRITORIES
((THE Story
1 of our
States" would
not be com
plete without
a brief men
tion of the
other terri
tory of uie United States, which
is not included in the actual forty-eight
states. The biggest of
these territories is Alaska, with
an area of 590,884 square miles.
This huge region was under Rus
sian domination until 18G7 when
the United States purchased it
for $7,200,000, or less than two
cents an acre. There was some
grumbling at the time by a few
congressmen over "adding a re
frigerator to the United States."
But the refrigerator has been
found to be well stocked with
gold, coal, forests and fisheries,
so that Alaska has proven a
profitable investment
Hawaii, like Alaska, is a reg
ular territory. In 1893 "there
was a successful revolution
against the Hawaiian queen, and
a provisional government was
formed under American protec
tion. In 1898, at the request cf
the population, Hawaii was an
nexed to the United States.
Porto Rico, Guam and the Phil
ippines were ceded to the United
States in 1899 as a result of the
Spanish-American war. Porto
Rico and the Philippines are de
pendencies and not territories.
Their local affairs are adminis
tered by a legislature of two
houses and they are represented
in the United States by resident
commissioners elected by the leg
islatures. Chiam is under the
control of naval officers in com
mand of naval stations. Under
similar naval control are the
Tutuila group and Samoa,
which were ceded in 1899 by
Great Britain and Germany.
Then there is the Panama Ca
nal Zone, which was purchased
from Panama in 1904 for $10,
000,000. This is governed by the
Isthmian Canal commission
The year 1917 saw the pur
chase from Denmark of the Vir
gin Islands, for $25,000,000.
These aggregate only 150 square
miles and are temporarily gov
erned by a naval officer.
Finally, there is the District
of Columbia, which was organ
ized in 1791, as the seat of our
federal government. The resi
dents have no vote for either
local or national officials, nor
are they represented in congress.

"I have been yawning, as I have still
felt a little sleepy," said Bessie Brown
Bear to the two little bears, "because
I have rested for so long a time.
"It is not because I need any more
sleep. Oh, no, indeed ! I have had
quite enough sleep. I have had plenty
of rest to last me for some time. That
is, I do not need a long sleep for a
long time!
"You are a dear little bear, and so
is your little brother. Ah ! I have two
of the sweetest baby bears that ever
a mother bear could have.
"Your family name, dear children,
is Alaskan Brown Bear, and I will tell
you something of the ways of your
family.
"When winter comes around it Is
well to think at once of your winter
home. For in the winter you must rest
and sleep and the mother bears must
look after the baby bears which come
in the sleepy winter time.
"But when spring comes you must
awaken, as I am now awaking, and
then you can take long walks over the
hills and mountains. They will be cov
ered with snow, but the great, cold
winter will be over.
"In the winter you must be sure to
be in warm, dry dens. You can build
fine ones in the ground yourselves.
"And you must always eat good,
nourishing food. By nourishing food I
mean food that will make you strong
and well and handsome, as brown
bears should be. You may wear gold
colored suits or darker brown suits.
"But golden and brown are the col
ors which are most becoming to the
Alaskan Brown Bears, so we have al
ways worn these colors.

not get into rows with men. No, stay
away from people ! "

rruits are fine for you.
"You belong to the family of bears
which is proud of being the family of
the largest sized bears in the world.

eat what is good for you, I am sure.

But she woke up again a little be
fore her cubs and, as she looked at
them, she said to herself:
"Kittens may be very cunning, ba

calves may be very lovely, but, after
all, there is nothing in the world so

"How beautiful they are, too. Ah,

proud, for these are . her own little
