Feb. 10—In a message® sent by the Journal- jer as to his attitude towards the proposed federal law forbidding in- dustrial employment of children un- der sixteen of age, United States Senator George P. McLean writes that while he had not studied the proposed (Keating) bill he sumed it was substantially a copy of the Owen bill of last session, the pro- of which had his hearty ap- proval. He adds: “I think the government ought to see to it that chiklren have pure air to breathe and healthful instruction and occupation until they are sixtacn years of age at least. The confinement of voung children in dusty factoyies is in my opinion both uneconomical and eruel and should be prevented preferably by state legislation. If the Sen.
