YORK DISPELS
REGARDING BUSINESS OUTLOOK
NEW YORK. Sept.'2.——(AP) Are
you pessimistic regarding the busi-
ness outlook? Consider the lower
East Side. ’l‘here optimism reigns.
The commercial barometers. such as
lodging houses. rescue missions and
pawn shops lone: watched by astute
business men of Wall Street all
indicate “continued fair" for the
next several months.
'A reporter who spent twenty-four
hours among the East Side fore-
casters was assured that the upward
swing in the business cycle which
started In 1923 had not ended. These
forecasters base their calculations
entirely tlpon ‘ human factors as
contrasted with the intricate math-
cmaiieal formulae of the pro-
fessional economist but it may be
noted that the conclusions reached
in this instance on the Bowery and
East Houston street agree with
those of the most recent study by
the Harvard Economic service.

Reusington, Pu. where 75.000 tex-
tile workers were on strike. or

Every day little children cattle
into Union Headquarters. some with
their hands off, some with thumb
missing. some with.their fingers off
at the knuckle. We assembled a
number of boys and girls one morn-
int: in Independence Park and from
there we arranged to parade with
banners to the City Hall where we
\i ould hold a meeting.
A great crowd gathered 'in the
public square In front of the oil)“

in Princeton. New Jersey. we slept
in the big. co'ol barn of Grover
Cleveland's great estate.
I called on the mayor of Prince-

speak opposite the campus of the
university. I said i wanted to
speak on higher education. 1119

Ders got into a. squabble with each
other over the question. The uni-
versities discussed it’ Preachers be-
gan talking. That was what I
wanted; public attention on the sub-
ject of child labor.
The lnati‘el‘ quieted down for a.
while and I concluded the people
needed stirring up again. I decided
that the children and I would go on
a tour. I asked some of the par-
ents if they would let me have their
little boys and girls for a week or
ten days. They consented. The
children carried knap-sacks on their
backs in which were a knife and
fork. a tin cup and plate. We took
along a wash boiler in Which to

l-‘rom Jersey City we marched to
I-loboken. Finally they decided to
let the army come into New York.
We marched to Twentieth street. i
told an immense crowd of the her-
rors of child labor in the mills
around the. anthracite region and I
showed .them some of the children.
We raised a. lot of money for the
strikers and hundreds of friends of-
fered their homes to‘ the little ones
while we were in the city.
The next day we went to Coney
Island at the idvitation of Mr. Bos-
ttck. who owned the wild animal
show. The children had a wonder-
lful day such as they never had in
all their lives. The next day we.
left Coney Island for. Manhattan
Beach to visit Scooter Flatt, who
had made an appointment. to see
me at nine o'clock in the morning.
Senator Plait. when he saw the lit-
tle army. ran away through a back
door to New York.
I asked the hotel manager if he
would give the children'hmakfnst
and charge“ up to the senator. as
we had an invitation to breakfast
that morning with him. He gave us
a private room and he gave those
children such a breakfast as they
had never had in all their lives.
We marched down to Oyster Bay
but the President refused to see us
and he would not answer my letters.
But our march had done its work.
Ve had drawn the attention of the
nation to the crime of child labor.
And while the strike of the textile
workers in Kensington was lost and
the children driven back to work.
not long afterward the Pennsylvania
legislature passed a child labor
law that sent thousands of children
home from .the mills. and kept
thousands of otbela from entering
the factory until they were fourteen
sears of age.
