X77A W. G. Shepherd A SYRACUSE. N. Sept.

Jas. Schoolcraft Sherman, formerly called "Sunny Jim," vice president of the United States, has been charged Iby I Florence' Kelly, secretary of the National league, with employing children In his canning factories. The charge Is true. The New Hartford Canning Jams. syJlAtSrtt JAS.

S. SHERMAN operated by the vice president and his brother, Stanton Sherman, DOES allow children to work in its factories. Children under the age -of 16 toil during the school vacation months, when peas, beans, tomatoes and corn are ripe. Their tidy fingers, soaked in the juices of raw vegetables and bitten with thel ractds, ply like lightning. Their childish faces are tense with labor and the straining rush of piece work.

Their handiwork goes into the big factory and from the hoppers is turned Into cans that are later covered with brilliant labels. Their product enriches Jas. Schoolcraft Sherman, vice president of the United States, and enables him to keep pact with his select companions In Washington. In fact. It first enabled him to get into such company as Uncle Joe Cannon affords.

It will not do you any good to get mad about Sherman child labor. Sherman isn't breaking the law; goodness, no! But lie's coming as near it as he ran. Corporations have a way, sometimes, of doing many evil Ed here today for the frlst time In any newspaper i or magazine.

That's mnm they even make some of the iiwi themselves. A "shed" Isn't a That's why Sherman can hire children. XxX: X. XT: Sherman, vice president of tbe United States, has taken advantage of a ruling of the New York attorney general that greatly pleased the great, heartless, prosperous canning companies of New York when It was rendered eight years ago. -77 Ax "Why we stay within the law when we hire children between 14 and 16 years old," Stanton Sherman said, after I had presented to him "the charge, of Miss Kelly, backed by what I myself knew.

"But Miss Kelly says the factory law doesn't permit children to work in factories," I suggested. "Florence Kelly is a crank like i the rest of the reformers," said I Mr. Sherman. "XxxA'TTXTT Now listen to the self-satisfying, conscience-soothing explanation of why the vice president of the iUnited States allows children to I work for him. "About.

eight years 'ex- I plained Stanton Sherman, "a labor commissioner by the name of Tin cumseh Sherman, who was no relative if mine, obtained ruling i from the attorney general that if children under 16 worked in sheds I where there was no machinery, I they might be granted employi men, because sheds aren't, I in SHEDS, for all the laws says against it, children may bend their weak backs In toil; may strain the sweetness and childish beauty out of their tiny faces in the race for blood-won pennies; may spend in grinding labor the hours which the schol board has set aside for vacation and which God Intended them to use in play. In SHEDS they toll, therefore, right alonslde the canning factory. And the energy given them to use in play is being used by James Schoolcraft Sherman, vice president of the United States, in geti ting more money Into his own I The law can't reach the Sherman brothers. What could a policeman do, for instance, in the case of Alice Austin? She was breaking off the ends of string beans, when I saw i squatting beside her mother in the "Sheds." 4 Her tiny fingers were lacerated and the nails were worn down with her work. The camera man photographed her.

The factory superintendent i saw the camera and entered the shed. I saw him hurry away and i give orders to the foreman, I John Kennett. In a moment Kennett went to where Alice and her mother were working. "Stop working," he said to the girl. "Go on out." She looked up at him, puzzled, but finally unwound herself, shook a cramp out of her legs and went I "He doesn't pay me," said Alio, afterward.

"But I go there every day and help mamma. She gets the pay for what I do. "I don't know why he told me to go away. He never did that before." There Isn't any vacation brightnes sin the face of -year-old Alice Austin. But there is no law that will help AHce, except it be be this law of God: "It were better for him that a millstone were hanked about his neck and he be cast into the sea than that -he should offend one of these little 'ones." Alice's name Isn't on the factory payroll.

She works in a "shed" instead of a "factory." The policeman can't protect her. No one of the laws that James Schoolcraft Sherman has helped make In Washington can aid Alice and the others of her kind. I i "What hope have we of a good 'child labor law," asks Florence I Kelly, "when the vice president of the United States himself allowschildren to work ln his I Miss Kelly Is wrink. They don't (work in his "factories." They work in his "sheds." yX Ot New Hartford, where the main Sherman company factory Is situated, there are 395 school children. Within the past year permits to labor yere granted to over lOiplr of these children, between the Jages of 14 and 16, by Dr.

A. P. Clark, health commissioner of me district. Some of these child An work in the cotton mills -A thereabouts; a few of them work In the canning i mills. James Schoolcraft Sherman Isn't Jin facor of more strict child-labor laws.

If he were he would practice the spirit stricter laws bis four canning factories. XXfi But he's within the law, because "a shed Isn't a factory." I. Of course Sherman is' going tto issue, now, an order against children working in bis factories, even if they do have legal If they; do toll only, ln It will not him to allow them to work for, him, now that he is being criticized i' for it. It would cost too much politically. A xA-i But I don't I forget! that it DID pay him to do so, he hired children, who were under, 16 yean of of course.

Oh, yes, legally. At the top yon can see the Sherman shed, that isn't a fncory, here. tiny tollers work. Below, two illdren whom law aids him to drive. At the right, Alice Austin, wb "helps Sherman.

Whole Sermon In Philosophy of Albion B. Smith, the Man Who Drove Great Northern Railway's First Locomotive. SEATTLE, Sept.

"Plenty of work and regular hours." "That's what makes a long life and a happy one, and keeps a man or engine from the scrap heap," says Albion B. Smith. "Don't know Albion B. Smith? Well, you are missing something. Albion B.

Smith is the oldest active engineer in the United States. Beside that, he is undoubtedly one of the most thoroughly happy men in the world. So you see, Smith has a very good right to speak when It comes to telling the secret of a long life and a happy one. There is at least one way to get to the human side of J. Hill, the railroad king.

That way Is to mention to the empire builder of the Northwest the names of Albion B. Smith, and the "William Crooks." 'XX. The "William Crooks" is the first locomotive that ever ran out of St. on the '-'Paul Pacific, the forerunner lof the Great Northern system. Albion B.

Smith was engineer eof the "William Crooks" for. many years. Hill has a warm spot in his heart for both of i them. Just now the veteran engineer is in charge of the Hill exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon fair. The chief features of the exhibit are two Great Northern engines.

One is a monster freight mogul that stands, for the latest thing in economical transcontinental transportation. The other is tiny tin coffee pot affair. The tin 'i coffee pot A. affair is the "William or "No. 1," as the first Hill locomotive is familiarly known.

the big fair is over Smith will -go back to his 7 more engine cab, for yy, though he to past score and ten mark, Smith's eyes are Just 7as blight, his nerves just as true, bis hand just asj steady as they were when fbe held'- the throttle of the "Wlliam Crooks" back in 1 '68; and he Is still an engineer In good standing on the enrldge division of the Great Northern. OH IflQfl Smith, railway i engineer, Smith, railway engineer, and "Jim" Hill, railway builder, are the.b««t'or friends. The en sawyers. Both the mill men and the union held meetings yesterday and the union voted to walk out tomorrow. BRITISH CRUISERS TO SAIL FOR NEW YORK LONDON, Sept.

AyyX Xyy "Worry and dissipation is the things: that Smith's way of explaining his long, active life. "Plenty of.worki kills worry. The man who has plenty of work doesn't have time to worry. Regular hours for work and I play; kills dissipation. So I say that i plenty of work and regular hours is the secret of a long and a happy life." Smith was sitting in the cab of the "William Crooks." "Old No.

The wheels are said to have struck some loose sand on a curve and the machine skidded over the embankment. NEW BRIDGE ACCEPTED The county engineer haa accepted the new steel bridge at Sumner as; completed by the Northwest Bridge company, and all that remains to be done now Is to build the approaches on both sides of the bridge. From the Philosophy of Smith, Oldest Engineer When it comes right down to a question of work, humans is pretty near engines, and engines is pretty near human. When the gears is worn out and the lamps is dim, whether it's men or engines, the next stop is the scrap heap. Worry and dissipation is the things that kill.

Work kills-worry. Regular hours kills dissipation. Plenty of work and regular hours is the secret of a long and happy life. T-Xy To be fit any time to give the best that's in him. You can't I ask more than that of anybody, man or engine.

When the gears are worn out, the lamps dim and the whole machine shaky and rattly, why, whether It's men or engines, the next stop is the scrap heap.
