Will they ratify T Nobody known Everyone expects nation-wid- e discussion which Is already on and an exciting contest with side ramifications which involve questions of Importance other than child labor. Georgia has Just overwhelmingly defeated nutrition. The purpose of this article is purely Informative. The resolution proposing the amendment was PMsed by the house April 20 and by the senate June 2. The amendment reads: Mellon 1. Ths consreas shall have powar to Unit, rrrulata and prohibit tha labor of persons Mar eighteen years of ago. lection I. Tha power of tha aaveral states Is Data paired by this article, except that tha operation el itate laws ahall be suspended to the extent to give effect to legislation enacted by the Bv na-tta- ai unwilling to use the products of child labor; third, because manufacturers object to the competition of those who rely upon low wages paid to children ns the basis of their profits; and fourth, because states have been nimble to protect their consumers and manufacturers. The Judiciary committee of the senate, after exhaustively considering five amendments Introduced by as many senators, reported out an amendment In slightly different form from that finally adopted, os follows: Article. The congress shall have the power, concurrent with that of the several states, to limit or prohibit the labor of persona under elghteeir years. The report, commenting on this proposed amendment, sets forth dearly the attltnde of ths committee on tha question of child labor. It says, in one part : First. It cannot bo questioned but that It is a paramount duty of sovornmant to guard and pro-ta- ct the welfare of Its children to the end that they may have tha utmoat opportunity possible to attain tha maximum davalopment of thalr ' moral, Intellectual, and physical balnga. This is manifestly the due of all children aluee they are brought Into ths world without thsir volition, entirely helpless and But this is not alone simple Justice to dependent. childhood. It la also of tho greatest Importance to ovtry state that Its citlsans should attain ths highest development above Indicated. And It may be observed that while under our dual system of government the power end doty to make adequate provision by law for tho aooompllshmsnt of those moat desirable ends are now vaatad In tha several states, nevertheless it Is aa Important to tho national government aa It Is to tha government of atnte that Its eitlxsnry ha afforded every opportunity for legitimate development, and that sueh development should neither be stunted nor destroyed. Herein there lies the Justification for the government of the United States In asking of tha states that upon It ba conferred power concurrent with their own to legislate upon thla matter ao vital la both. If tha states shall have passed appropriate laws. It le safe to say that any legislation of congress will march sldo by side with aueh laws. If a state has been unmindful of Ita duty, then eueh eongresslonsl legislation will work no Injury but rathar a positive benefit to tha state Itself as wall aa to tha national government. Discussing the form that the proposed amendment should take, the report, says, among other things: Unquestionably It should taka tha form of a tha limitations grant of powar, and unquestionably of that power should bo precisely defined. Beyond future as peradventuro It should eontemplata tha well as ths present. Indisputably It ehould ba a power concurrent with that of the states, allies Ita purpose la not to deprive the states of any of thalr powers but only to eonfsr Ilka powers on ths national government BUI! further. It will not bo questioned but that that powar should be given to control, regulate, or oven tn prohibit tho use of aueh labor In nil eaaea where the character of tho labor le dangerous la Itself or may becoraa dangerous through the Inex-Itperience or headlesancea of childhood; whore toIn tha self or In III surroundings It la detrimental physical or moral welfara of childhood, or where It Is In character too onerous for tho growing bodies of youth. Equally manifest la It that In all occupations where ehlld labor la permitted, legislative authority should have a determlnatlva voles as to the terms, times, conditions and environment of Its use aueh ee day and night work, reasonable av-e- ry Reason Is found In both points of view. But your committee finally concluded to Inlimitasert tho eighteen-yea- r tion; because such limitation would certainly enibrurn the vast majority of rueea calling for protection and remedial legislation, while the exceptional eaaea calling fur legislation aftar ths ego might arise In one state and not In tnother, and therefore might safely ba left to tha wisdom of each state. Tlie federal child labor laws declared void by ths Supreme court fixed certain simple standards that have been recognized as measures on which to boss reforms. They declared that no child under fourteen should he employed In any mill, cannery, workshop, factory or manufacturing etsubllshment ; that no child between fourteen and sixteen should bo employed In such establishments for more than hours s week, or eight hours s day, or forty-eigat night, and that no child under sixteen should bs employed in any mine or quarry. In Arkansas, first stats to ratify, IB per rent of the total child population is employed contrary to In Georgia the per cent is the federal standard 21, in Alabama and South Carolina 24, in Mississippi 20. Of all the state only eighteen come up to the level set by these standards. They are Massachusetts, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Oregon, Montana, Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, West Virginia, New York, New Jersey end Connecticut In all bnt three states n minimum age for work In factories has been established ; it is set at four teen or over with exemptions in certain occupations. Six states have higher than a fourteen-yea- r minimum. In more than half the states there has been a tendency to establish a sixteen-yea- r Aa for the length of the minimum for mine states and the District of working day, thirty-fiv- e Columbia have an eight-hoday applying to children up to sixteen in both factories end store The same number prohibit children under sixteen years of age from engaging In night work in fac- tories and atore The Importance of physical examination la more states made It and more stressed, and twenty-tw- o mandatory before a child can receive hie working certificate.
