Open IfyeninRs and Ml Day Sunday and Monday Wholesale and lietail—AT lantic-2644 jflHK CHILD LABOR BILL FOR LOUISIANA Washington—36,486 Negro children of from 10 to 17 years of age, employed in gainful occupations, as classified by the L. S. Bureau of the Census, would be affected by the passage of a child labor bill, proposing a number of advances over the standards of the present law, which has been introduced in the pres ent session of the Louisiana legislature. The new bill, which was submitted by the Consumers' League of Louisiana, reduces the maximum hours of labor of children under 16 from 10 per day and 60 per week to 8 per day and 48 per week, and requires a child under 16 to have completed the fifth grade and to have a certificate of physical fitness fro ma health officer or public school physician before he can receive an em ployment certificate. LABOR BULLETINS TO BE ISSUED In older to keep the public informed of the essential changes in industry in various parts of the country, the Industriol Relotions Department of the Urban league has appointed “indus trial associates” in many important urban centers of the country. These are men and women whose associa tions give them access to facts and conditions of Negro life in their re spective communities. The informa tion thus collected may be made available through bulletins issued monthly by the ndustrial Relations department of the National Urban league, of which T. Arnold Hill is di rector. The first bulletin apears else where in this issue. Colored men and women are not entering industry dramatically as they did during the war but they are mak ing decided gains in factories that are new to their toil and they are advancing to skilled workers in many industries that once used them as cas ual or common laborers only. The significant achievements will be noted and given publicity as a stimulus to further advancement and to offset re ports that the race has not proved it self equal to the tasks assigned it. URBAN LEAGUE NOTES LABOR PROGRESS According to an announcement made by the Industrial Relations de partment of National Urban league, T. Arnold Hill, director, the two sec tions of the country showing the most satisfactory conditions in industry for NegToes are widely separated—the New York City district and the city of Milwaukee, Wis. The New York district, which includes parts of Jer spv City, where prospects are unusu ally bright, has actually witnessed the imnortation of cilored workers from the south for railroads and in dustrial plants. Wholesale transplan tations usually reveal weakness in the jobs offered. W'hile the rule has fol lowed in this case, the movement has not been entirely unsatisfactory. Wages offered have been 50 cents pfr hour with 75 cents for overtime. In Milwaukee two plants are Iook irtr for molders and chippers. Con ditions there are good in all lines and the colored worker is getting a good opportunity. Both Milwaukee and Ney York have done something for school boys, who have found work harder to obtain than usual on account of the failure of the Pullman company to offer them work as porters. In New York the Motion Picture Operators union has finally admitted colored operators to membership. As a consequence, the pay of some of them has doubled. In Milwaukee elec tric crane operators have entered a steel plant for the first time. In mining sections of Kentucky, in foundries in small cities of Ohio, and in parts of Michigan, gains are regis tered, while Fort Wayne, Ind., sus tained the loss of one hundred men in the Pennsylvania Railroad shops. COLORED GIRL WINS APPLAUSE Washington—A nation-wide spelling bee contest, sponsored by representative news papers of 25 cities, and in which 25 girls and boys from all parts of the United States took part, was recently held in this city at the National Museum auditorium. Sponsored by the Telegram Gazette of Worceser, Mass., Sarah Louise Van Allen was the only colored child in the contest. She drew the applause of the vast audience by outlasting all but the prize winners after she had correctly spelled "psychological.” At her turn on the next round, however, she failed on the word “risible.” The Telegram Gazette is to be con gratulated upon its broad attitude in selecting a colored child to represent the city of Worcester in a nation-wide con test. ZION’S AND ST. JOHN’S OPEN SUMMER P.^RK The Rev. W. F. Botts, pastor of the Zion Baptist church and the Rev. C. A. Williams, pastor of St. John's A. M.
