CHILD LABOR BILL HAS CHANCE
Friends of Measure Must Work Hard
to Win Success.
No Action Likely on Broader Phases
OF ProbIem-ResOIutiOn Introduced
by Senator SpOOner.

Although it is generally believed that
Federal anti-chtld labor law, based on the
bills originated by Senator Beverage and
Senator Lodge, viii not be passed at this
session of Congress, Senate leaders ex-
press the opinion that the bill prohibiting
child labor in the District of Columbia
VIII be enacted into law If its friends
give it the proper degree of support
The idea Of many advocates of anti
child labor legislation is that the passage
OF the bill relating only 10 the District
will go a long way toward insuring the
ultimate enactment Of a Federal law and,
pending that the enactment of adequate
State laws. In this connection 1t is pointed
out that the action of Congress with
reference to the barter and ownership
Of slaves in the District had considerable
influence on the Federal phases of the
question. although at the time the num-
Der of slaves in the District was infin-
ttesimaL as compared with the number
in the whole country.
The resolution offered by Senator
Spooner yesterday does not conflict in any
way with the bin which seeks to prohibit
child labor in the District 1t provides
that the Senate judiciary Committee con
slider and report to the Senate, at its ear

| in the exercise Of the power TO regulate
commerce with foreign nations and

dian tribes can. in its opinion, consutu-
tionally prohibit the transportation of
commodities from the State in which they
were produced to other States, or to other
countries, because the same were pro-
duced in whole or in part by child labor. "
The resolution was adopted by unani-
nous vote. The judiciary Committee
will begin the consideration of the
matter at an early date, but whatever

THREE MESSAGES IN ONE DAY
President Roosevelt Smashes All
Previous Records.
One on the Canal illustrated with
Tvventy-Scyen Large Pictures.
Map Also Included.

President Roosevelt. always a frequent
contributor of advice TO Congress. broke
all records yesterday by sending 10 the
Senate and House no fewer than three
special messages.
No other President has ever sent more
than one message 20 Congress on a single
day. and EIr. Roosevelt, in the two weeks
since the present legislative session be
gan. has sent more communications 10
the Capitol than sou-e of his predecessors
have transmitted in an entire session
The messages sent in yesterday related
to the personnel of the navy. the public
land and timber laws. and the Panama
Canal The first two were brief. consist
ing respectively of 500 and 1,5oo words.
but the Panama message comprised APP
p-oximately $1,000 words.
In another respect the President broke
precedent yesterday, for his Panama
message was profusely illustrated. Equal
ly novel was the act Of the President IN
sending with the navy personnel message
q bill which he wanted passed by Con-
gross.
The Panama message, consisting mainly
OF a narrative account Of Mr.. ROOSEVELT
recent trip to the isthmus. was printed in
"a portfolio volume OF tEirty-three pages.
l2xl4 inches. A map is also included.
While the illustrated message created
the profCmdest interest in the Senate. the

it is reprinted in that staid old family
journal. the Congressional Record. After
the conclusion of the reading of the

After a pause the Vice President in

He does not said Mr.. Kean, with a
smile, sinking into mis- seat.
At the same time that the folio prints
/ Of the canal message were laid on the
/ Senators desks two big volumes of the
new revised code of Federal laws were
also placed before each Senator. Sena-
/ tors pored over the two volumes from

DE Almonds PLAN DISCUSSED.
La Toilette Believes Constitutional
Convention should Be Called.

Representative De Almonds suggestions
for the holding Of a constitutional con
vention. as set forth in The Washington
Herald. was generally discussed at the
Capitol yesterday. There is decided sen
timent in favor Of several constitutional
amendments among members of both
Houses. but not all who favor these
changes are prepared 10 go as far as the
Missouri Congressman in his advocacy of
d convention.
Many OF the Republican leaders who
discussed the question privately expressed
the opinion that it would be unwise to
have a convention called, because such
action might pave the way for changes
which would be undesirable, even though
the ratification of two-thirds Of the States
is necessary to make any changes effect
i've.
Other members of the dominant party
favor Mr.. De Almonds plan in its en-
tirety however, One Of these is Senator

mortal be printed and referred TO the
