Samuel Gompers of the American Fed

senate Judiciary committee In support
of the measures In reference to rhlld

unfortunates who cannot urge tech

la the history of the betterment of the
laboring class. All kinds of legal and
technical objections have been raised,
but fn each Instance the better senti
ment of the people and the human In
stincts of legislators have triumphed
anl the step has been gained."
In answer to the claim of Commo
dore Elbridge Gerry, counsel and
president of the Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Children, that
he and his associates had been the
prime movers in factory legislation In
this state, Mr. Gompers declared he re
called that in im Commodore Gerry
had visited the meeting of the State
Federation of labor and complimented
them upon the passage of the law for
whose passage Gerry now claimed the
credit
"This committee is competent to
meet the technical objections," he
said. "We are straining at a knat
We want the substance, not the legal
shadow in this matter, and we look
to th legislature to remove the Mot
from the state and the shame fro mits
business life, of compelling or i-ermlt-ting
the babes to fight for their Irv
ing on the streets. 1 We want our
boys and girls to become virile men
and women, and the streets and clamor
of traffic are not the schools to train
such."
