NEW ORLEANS, March 17. 'For the child, child labor i a delusion; for industry, a fallacy; for society, a menace," declared Lewis H. Hiue at the National Conference on Child Labor here to-night. "A procession of child workers from the canneries of Maine td the cottonflelds of Texas Is asking if it pays. "They start off with happy hearts and happy faces, for work Is fun at first, but a machine tears at one child's body; coal dust smothers another; eye strain and body strain arrest their development; their joy ceases.

They are soon ready for the human Junk pile; and who foots tho bill? "Even If they escape physical harm, can they escape the mental and mora! taint of Illiteracy, of deadening nonotony, of close acquaintance with vice and crime? The newsie on the street gambles and knows the underworld; the messenger boy on his wheel carries notes to and from the red light district The majority of boys In our juvenile courts have been street-workers. They have tampered with the moral buzz saw. "So, if industry saves by child labor, society pays, because child labor works In a vicious cycle bv inadequately preparing children for lite and handicapping them for future work and the rearing of their own families. Industry has stooped pretty low when It draws on four-year-olds, cutting their parents' wages below the point of support by tn-p'oying children. It robs children of homes, play time and health, and makes material for the institutions which society builds for the Bick in mind and body The expenses society should charge to child labor we cannot calculate.

"Yet even Industry loses by child labor. It gets lower returns from the child than the adult, and pays for ac-! cidents and damages to-machlnes and1 material caused by child workers. 1 More than that It produces that ln- dustrlal misfit, the child labor adult. a man whose efficiency is ruined by i-xtatur jora."
