LAW VIOLATED, SAYS MAUPIN State Labor Commissioner Criticises Prevalence of Child Labor. WANTS EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTE Attendance Officer Gepron Excepts to ‘Strictures of State Official and ° plains Status of Atfairs Loeally. State Labor Commissioner Maupin was in a critical humor during his talk Monday afterncon to the social sclence department of the Woman's club. He asserted that local officials charged with a part in «n- foreing the child labor law have not turnd in to his office the reports called for by law, and Intimated that evidence Is in possession of these officials which would enable him to maintain prosecutions it put in his hands. The meeting had been called tiat local conditions might be made to prevent the unlawful employment of women and children during the holi- days. Mr. Maupin stated his chief handi- cap n starting prosecution lay in the ex- treme difficulty of getting evidence &nd he eriticised the superintendents of schools, fruant officers and inspectors under the state child labor law for not dolng all that the law specjfically states as their duty. Beginning_with the superintendents of schools, he stated that nly one copy of a certifioate permitting a child under age to work has been sent to his office, wHile the law requires that coples of all such certi- ficates issed shall be sent to him. That the Inspectors have not fultHted all -ueir duty he attempted to show by announcing that ‘the retord of all children employ~d in" an establishment, which the law pro- vides shall be posted at the entrance of such establishment, is not so posted, as a rule. For example, he named one of the large departmient stores which, instead of the required list, merely hooks the certi- ficates, of the children employed on a nall near the door. This, Mr. Maupin sald, was doing better than the majority do. Gépson States His Posttion. Attendance Officer E. D. Gepson, of the Omaha schools, resented Mr. Maupin's as- sertions, but confessed to delinquency in sending In coples of certificates lssued to chlldren, He then, In the course of ex- plaining the dutles and difficulties of his office,. announced that he had evidence of violation of the child labor law, but when | question® by one of the club women wiy he did not twrn it over to the labor com- | missioner, repiled that that was not his business. Questiuned as to his moral obli- gation in co-operating with all authori- ties for the enforcement of the law, Mr. Gepeon said It would take time to write the necessary letter to Inform the labor commissioner. ‘When the Jaw was pead by request of the ‘women, it developed that it names the tryant officer as one of those expected to supply such information to the labor com- missioner. Mr. Gepson hinted at diffi- eulty in getting things through the prose- cuting attoruey's office, but Mr. Maupin assured him if he would turn over what- | Nebraska Cycle Co. represents the National Phonograph Co. in Nebraska, and carries huge stocks of Edison Phonographs ineluding the models mentioned tional Phonograph Co.’s announcement on this page today, as well as a stock of Over 100,000 Records Manager, Council Bluffs, Ia. discussed and plans | in the Na- Cycle Co.

Davidson of ‘the clty schools and Mrs. Halleck Rose, chair- man of the industrial committee of ‘he state federation of women's clubs, also spoke. Mrs. Draper Smith, one of the state In- spectors, pledged almost her entire time from now on to the enforcement of the law. Mr. Davidson stated that conditions are improving even if all possible is not being accomplished Hastings Boy Wins Scholarship Will Raney, Son of Drayman, Secures Prize in Rhodes English Competition., HASTINGS, Neb., Dec. 6.—(Speclal)—In competition with six other candidates, Will | Raney of this city has successtully passed the state examination for a Cecll Rhodes scholarship at Oxford, and it is expected his appointment will soon be announced by the Rhodes trustees in England.

Thomas of the Nebraska Independent, property of Wrank Eager, has filed & mo- tion in the supreme court to dismlss his appeal and to have a mandate issue to the district court affirming the decision of that court. In the lower tribunal Berge | was given judgment for some §30. He appealed because he thought it not enough, and Eager appealed becouse he thought | it too much. The Eager appeal resulted in a confirmation of the lower caurt. The case grew out of the sale of the| Independent to Berge, who, at that time| was running for governor and needed a| | personal organ. in which to exploit his views. Berge fafled to land in the state house and he came to the conclusion the | paper was worth several times less than he pald for it. So he brought suit for | damages. | Governor Goes a-Lecturing.

The table shows that unless there Is great retrenchment there will be several deficlencis when the next legislature meets. From the figures it is evident that Su- perintendent Lena E.
