TEXTILE MAGNATE SEEKS TO PROVE THAT CHILD LABOR IN THE UNITED STATES IS CHILD OF IMAGINATION By LAURENCE TODD, Federated Press. WASHINGTON—(FP)—James Edgerton of Tennessee is not only presi- dent of the Natl, Assn, of Manufacturers and of the Natl. Industrial Council to which it is allied but he is a textile niagnate and a foremost foe of federal regulation of child labor in industry. That fact makes all the more inter- esting the circulation thruout the country his summer by the N. A. M. of a propaganda pamphlet entitled, “Facts the Baltimore Mariufacturers’ Record. About Child Labor,” republished from The Junior Education and Employment Committee of the N, A, M, which prepared this document from figures taken from the 1920 census. is headed by Howell Cheney of the silk manufactur- ing firm of Cheney Brothers of Con- necticut. Protective Laws Not Enforced. What Edgerton is trying to make the American public believe, thru this Cheney pamphlet, is that child labor in America is largely a myth. Ignor- ing the main argument for federal regulation—the fact that state laws limiting the employment of youns children in textile mills and canneries and tobacco factories are not enforced —he quotes endless statistics to show that in 1920 only a handful of children under 16 years of age were gainfully employed in any industry except agri- culture. 60,000 Children in Mills. Richard Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers’ Record, in an intro- ductory statement, disputes the claims of the advocates of the late federal law that 60,000’ children were em- ployed in textile mills of one southern state or that the N. A, M, spent mil- lions to defeat the child labor amend- ment in Massachusetts. He quotes a Richmond business man who reproved | some students for repeating these charges, which they had received from a professor “radically socialistic in his teachings.” A Christian Gentleman. “President Edgexton,” said this Richmond business man, “is one of the great christian laymen of thé country. He was chairman of the committee in his denomination for raising the. Centenary fund a few years ago. He is an active christian worker and in hiy own factory in Tennessee has a chapel where all of his working people gather for prayer and praise service before beginning their day’s work.” Delivered a Tirade. Edgerton's christian -alibi did not help him when he” came before the Women’s Industrial Conference in Washington on Jan, 19 last to oppose eight-hour and minimum, wage laws and other legislative safeguards for + women in industry. He read a tirade against “legislative poultices” while hundreds of women delegates stared in amazed anger or tried in vain to get a chance to challenge his most hypocritical assertions, The moment his denunciation of “boishevists, so- cialists and Russian Communists” and the “social legislation in the ostensi- ble interest of children and mothers” was completed he left the hall. Some of the women delegates asked the chairman whether he could not be broyght back to face their replies. Edgerton did not return, The Bolsheviki Everywhere. His speech to the women was circu- lated in printed form by the N. A. M. He said that the reformers ought to begin with the women and girls out- side of industry; that there were only “a handful” of 2,000,000 women em- ployed in organized industries; that the women’s organizations that were seeking to protect these women in in- dustry were being hoodwinked by the Bolsheviki into assisting in the tear- ing down of American institutions. Run By Kollontal. “A careful study and investigation by you ladies of your multitude of or- ganizations and their power machin- ery,” he said, “will show you, I think, that one Mme, Kollontai, whose head- quarters are at Moscow, but whose parish is the world, is exercising a very large if not a dominating influ- ence upon at least some of the major activities of at least some of your or- ganizations. Many innocent Ameri- cans are carrying around in their clothes germs of these insufferably alien theories and don’t know it. They are made to believe that they are crusaders for defenseless women and children.” But when he had said that he fled. ‘ We will send sample copies of The DAILY WORKER to your friends—send us name and ad- dress.

The British imperialists are sending one cruiser after another to the Far East and have bombarded peaceful towns, murdering hundreds of un- armed inhabitants, as, for instance, in the town of Wanhsien. Feverish negotiations are being conducted with the imperialists of other countries, particularly with Japan, for the pur- pose of forming a united front against the masses of the Chinese people. The agent of the Japanese imperialists, Tchang Tso Lin, is provoking the So- viet government in Manchuria. The imperialists, clinging to the power which is slipping from their hands, will stop at nothing in order to light the flame of a new world war and at he same time a crusade against the staunch ally of all oppressed peoples, the U.
