CHILD LABOR LAW OUTLOOK
DECIDEDLY
N e w Englanders a t
Washington Unite to
Push Through Bill
That Will Stick This
Time.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 2. 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.
