Men, Belt Little Are Exploited and Destroyed by Employers and Guurdlana Helpless Vletlms of a Merciless System. , In five states New Jersey, Pennsyl vunln, Ohio, Indiana and .Illinois tu glass Jtulustry has reached during thi past thirty years a high state of devel opiuent, writes Florence Kelley, secre tary of the National Consumers league The following article is taken from i paper contributed by her to tkarltle and presents some of the sinister as pccts of the development of the trade: Under an old rule, of the uulou onl;. fifteen boys can be apprenticed for ev cry hundred blowers actively engagei in the trade, and apprentices are usual ly seventeen yours old at Jibe time o. beglnuing woi k, The blowers are thm effectively protected against the coin petition of boys. The only unprotected persons are the wretched little boys.kiibwn in some glass works as blowers dogs." Under the present organization of the glass bottle industry a blower requires three boys to carry bottles from the molder to the annealing oven. Little boys are therefore employed in numbers far exceeding the possibilities of entering the trade ns apprentices. In some factories the blowers are required to furnish boys, and as they do not sacrifice their sons (whom they introduce into the trade as apprentices if at all), they are coutlnuully searching for available sources of supply. For years the rumor refused to die out that certain charitable institutions of Philadelphia systematically furnished orphan boys who had reached their twelfth birthday to glass works In New Jersey, where the law until this yeur permit-- , ted boys to. begin work at that tender age. Ten years ago, when the first effective child labor law of Illinois was enucted. it prohibited the employment of children under fourteen years of age in factories and workshops. This has been evaded down to the present day by large numbers of dissolute men and women who gathered iu orphan boys from the poorliouses of five counties adjacent to the city of Alton and from the poorhouse and orphan asylums of St. Louis and made affidavits as guardians of the children that the lads were fourteen years of age when they were really from seven to ten. The guardians" proceeded to live npon the wages of the children, which were 40 cents a day for small boys and 50 to CO cents a day for larger ones. In souie eases the guardians lived la shanty boats along the Mississippi river, drawing their floating dwellings well up Into the mud of the river bank for the winter and floating away for the summer when the glass works closed. During this enforced holldayAlie guardians" and the children lived precariously by fishing and berry picking, the children profiting In health by the fact that the glass blowers could not endure the heat of the ovens during July and August, although the welfare of the children was the last and least consideration which entered into the .creation of the sum mer shut down." When the first attempts were made In 1803 to enforce the child labor law In the glass works the employers and the local press of Alton foretold dire suffering to the deserving widows dependent upon the earnings of their vigorous young sons. The writer, as responsible head of the state factory Inspectors. made by request of the governor of Illinois an investigation into the general conditions of life ns well as the special conditions of work prevailing among the children employed in the glass works. It soon became apparent that pauperism was Increased by the opening for the employment of little boys. A most undesirable population was attracted from many places ill Illinois and in other stales of persons desirous of exploiting young children. Thus the first three alleged widows who were visited had all come from elsewhere for the express purpose dt living upon the earnings of their miserable, illiterate sons, supplemented by the gifts of the charitable. One was found living in a tent with three children, the two younger ones being regularly neglected while the mother and the older boy worked at the bottle factory. Another widow took In washing, which was insuflacient to maintain herself and three children. removed two (Her husband had been insane an to asylum, an years before addition A trifling Incurable patient to her earnings would have enabled her to keep her boy In sclfool, but the charitable people of Alton contributed to the partial and insufficient maintenance of her family, while the glass works exploited her boy at wages below the with point ofj) resent maintenance and, Boyra - Are :30am.

The family had floated down the river in the autumn for the sake of sending the children Into the works. A wornout and dissolute glass blower who had a pension of $8 a month and five chllilrpn under fourteen years of age hnd recently married n widow with six dUldren under fifteen tears.

Ill brought up boys vould themselves soon Is added to the auks of the tramps or the invalids. The enrnings of, the glass bottle blowns depend somewhat upon the speed f the hoys who fetch and cany for hem. These lads are therefore kept rotting at the highest speed that they an maintain for several hours.

Among lad: questioned during one twenty-fou- r night Inspection not one ventured to put together two of the foregoing statements. And the eye of the boy Interrupted In his work was always fastened anxiously upon the face of the blow- er for whom he was working. The load of bottles which a boy carries at one time is not large or heavy, and there Is no heavy lifting to be done; hence such work Is uniformly described by employers as light and easy.". Itut the circumstances attending the work, the surroundings amid which It Is done, fill such words with grim sarcasm. The speed required and the heated atmosphere render continuous trotting most exhausting. An hours steady trotting In pure air tires health schoolboys of seven to fourteen years, but these little lads hour after hour, day after day, month after month, iu heat and dust There was no restriction upon night work. Any child who was eligible for work at all (often by means of perjured afiHdavit of parent or guardian") was used indifferently by night or by day, and pitifully little children were found at work at 2 oclock in the morning. On going out Into the black, cold winter morning from the heat and glare of the glass ovens the boys went, as the men did, to the nearest saloons to drink the cheap drinks sold Just across the street from the works. All the boys uaed tobacco, usually chewing it. They were Btunted, illiterate, profane and obscene; wrecked In body and mind before entering upon the long adolescence known to happier children. The sharp contrast between the heat of the glass ovens and the frost of the winter morning produces rheumatism and affections of the throat and lungs, so that many of the boys die before reaching the" age of apprenticeship, from disease due directly to the circumstances attending their work. . is a God-sen- d to women, carrying them through their .most critical M ordeal with safety and no pain.
