Once more New England senators and con gressman, are mobiliznig their forces for the fight to get a child labor amendment through congress. Chances of success look beter this year than they did last session. More than 20 bils, proposing a child labor amendment to the con stitution have been introduced in con gress. Six of these measures have been submitted by New Englanders The south, as usual, will endeavor to block a national child labor law The south has no child labor laws now, while the New England states have. Add to this fact, somewhat lower, wapres and cheaper costs for constructing textile mills- and it can be seen why the south prefers the present situation. ' Beyond the humanitarian angle there is another reason why New England wants a child labor amend ment. Such a law would allow her to compete on a more equal basis with southern mills. Already many New England interests have moved their mills to the south, and the threat of further migrations is con stantly present. Senator Lodge, of Massacdusetts has submitted a proposed child labor amendment to the senate. Those who have introduced proposed amend ments in the house are Frothingham, Greene, Rogers, Dallinger, and Tague, all of Massachusetts. While these proposals all seek the same end they nearly ail carry different wording. Over in the senate, Senator Colt of Rhode Island is a member of the sub committee of the senate judiciary committee which is holding hearings on child labor amendments. The Senate committee expects ot report out a bill in the near future. Then the effort will be to bring it to a vote. New Englanders feel that once a vote can be. secured the meas ure will easily pass. In committee work the main question lies in the wording of the amendment. This is what arouses the discussion and the study. The amendment that was re ported to the senate last year was worded, following considerations and hearings lasting over several weeks, as follows: v 4 .: " "Th econgress will have power concurrent with that - of the several states, to limit or prohibit the labor of persons under the age of 18 years." That wording may be altered a bit this year after the conclusion of hearings now under way. The Lodge Giving theTelephohe Life HEREVER your thought goes your voice" may go. You can talk across she conti nent as if face to face. Your telephone is the latch to open for you any door in the land. There is the web of wires. The many switch boards. The maze of apparatus. The millions of telephones. All are parts of a country-wide mechanism for far-speaking. The equ'pment has cost over two billion dollars, but more than equipment is needed. There must be the guardians of the wires to keep them vital with speech-carrying elec trical currents. There must be those who watch the myriads of tiny switchboard lights and answer your commands. There must be technicians of every sort to construct, repair and operate. A quarter of a million men and women are, united to give nation-wide telephone service. With their brains and hands they make the Bell System live. BETTER THIS YEAR proposal, introduced last month, is worded as follows: "The congress shall have power to prohibit or to regulate the hurs of labor in mines, quarries, mills, n neries, workshops, factories, or man ufacturing establishments of persons under 18 years of age and of -women." Some objection is raised against this on the ground that, in trying to specify, it may leave loopholes which would not occur in a bill which mere ly decrees a broad and general pro hibition against all and any child la bor. "Furthermore, some women's or ganizations object to measures of this wording on the allegation that it classes women and children together. The time has passed, they say, when women can be grouped with children. The proposal of Congressman Greene of Fall River, Mass., is ex actly similar to that of Senator Lodge. The bill of Congressman Rogers of Lowell, Mass., another textile center like Fall River, would give congress the power to regulate "the employ' ment of women and of persons under the age of 21 years." The bill of Congressman Frothing ham of Brockton, Mass., is, in word ing, more limited. It would give con gress power to regulate or prohibit "the employment of children under 18 years of age." Congressman Dallinger of Cam bridge, Mass., would get at the prob lem in this manner: "The congress shall have power to establish uniform hours and conditions , of labor for women and minors throughout the United States, and to prohibit hte em ployment of children under such ages as congress from time to time deter mine. STAGE HANDS PLAN TO FORM UNION Westfield. Feb.. 2. Local theater employes are taking steps for the or ganization of a theater employes' union which will include in it: local men who have been engaged in thea ter work and motion picture machine operators. The local men engaged in the latter work are members of the Springfield union. There are a half dozen local men who' have been em ployed from time to time as stage hands. - ; . Services of Springfield union men have been engaged in the past by the managers of the local playhouses. The organization of a local union would make it obligatory on the part of the theater managers to. employ local men entirely except as the local crew was unable to handle all of the work. , ' Union employes from Springfield have been paid at the rate of $11 a day for their services in local play houes at Sunday performances. Local men who have had experience in the work believe that this is unfair and that the Westfield residents should be given the preference to this em ployment - and what compensation there is paid for such services.
