CHILD SLAVERY.
OUTSPOKEN CRITICISM. By Telegraph—Press Association. GISBORNE, October 29. The Compensation Court continued hearing the Te Arai compensation case to-day. Referring to some land twenty miles distant, valued at £4O per acre, his Honour the Chief Justice (Sir Robert Stout) said:—"l am not speaking of this district, but in Taranaki and other places the prices of land have gone up so that people make their children slaves. The price of land is so high that they cannot pay for labour and have to depend on their children who arc being worked to death."
