MANY BILLS PASS.
Only Two Fail of Passage, On e the
Child Labor hill

passing bills, and the calendar was
cleaned of seven senate and twenty-five
house measures. But two of the whole
number were killed, one of them
through a misapprehension and the
other because Of possible cost of pub
fishing proceedings of village councils.
The Wyman 'child labor BILL" it is
safe to say, will be given better treat
meut later on. There can be no
well-based objection to it when
its provisions are properly analysed.
To simply say, as its opponents DO, that
it will prevent needy children from
earning living or supporting parents
depending on them, is to beg the ques-
tion in hollow manner. Being so So
licitous, these gentlemen could easily
have had the bill amended to meet the
objection. Instead. they allowed it to
secure a place on the calendar, then
slipped knife into it very quietly. The
strongest argument for the merit OF the
bill is probably found in the fact that
the labor organizations all favor 1t and
have asked for its passage. Made up as
these societies are, of wOrkingmen, poor
men, in vast majority of caSeS-whO
have worked and suffered as the lower
classes must work and suffer, who know
the possibilities and the probabilities of
their situation in life-lt is nothing less
than preposterouS to assert they would
indOrSe such measure if it could work
harm to them or theirs.
