Victory for Wilson: New Freedom for

America
Editorial
Letter to the Editor

Wilson had campaigned for New Freedom,

contrasting Roosevelts previous campaign
for New Nationalism, stressing free
competition in business, individual
opportunities, and several progressive
reforms for the working class. Following
previous Democratic measures, he plans to
limit the intervention of large businesses and
the federal government in the economy.
Wilson had said in his presidential campaign
speech: All that progressives ask or desire
is recognition of the fact that a nation is a
living thing and not a machine. We have seen
many of our governments under these
influences cease to be representative

Clouds of dust flood the darkness of the
cave. Dangerous conditions and even
worse very little pay. This may sound like
a nightmare, yet it is a reality. Going to
investigate the workforce of our nation I
decided to take a closer look into the
mining industry. What I found, shocking.
An even closer look is what I got by
asking one of the workers here, a 12
year old boy, Charles Olton, its not the
greatest, but I need to help my father
somehow. We work about 10 hours,
maybe a little more if they tell us to. But
I have to behave, my parents need me to
keep this job, so I dont strike like the
other adults. Ever since Ive worked here
I have not felt all too great, Im usually
coughing from all the dust, and one of
the other boys fell down a chasm and
has not been found.

This sort of danger is far too

common in this line of work, and
Chadwick
even worse the children who work
in it, being payed no more than 60
cents an hour. One of my fellow
colleagues, Ray Stannard Baker,
did his own investigative research
on the mining industry but brought
up the harsh reality for miners not
in unions or that supported their
employers. But so many people are
focused on that instead of what
these actual jobs are! Employers
are hiring children due to the fact
they will work for lower wages and
are quick to learn. Yet how can we
let evil acts like this to happen?
How is child labour gone so far to
the point where the job is
dangerous for anyone. Is profit
disintegrating our humanity? If not
explain this, take another look in
the mines, and see how it really is.
