Labor's Enemies

Although Congressman Little
field was reelected, neither he nor
his plutocratic friends have any
thing to boast about when more
than four thousand votes were cut
away from his majority of two
years ago. Mr.. Littlefeld is not
the only leader in Congress who
has deliberately antagonized labor's
rights. Speaker Cannon has made
himself particularly obnoxious.
publicly and privately. with his
egotistical pretentions of knowing
more about what is good for labor
than labor itself.

WANTS PROVISION RESTORED.
Civic Center Endorses Child Labor
Bill as Originally Framed.

At a meeting OF the Council of the Civic
Center held at the Public Library Thurs
day afternoon, the recent action of the
House of Representatives in passing the
child labor bill was discussed. While gem
eral satisfaction was expressed over the
thorough manner In which the Morrel sub
committee and Investigated conditions in
the District of Columbia, the council de-
cided TO request the Senate to restore GER
tain features of the bill which had been
cut out In the House. A petition was then
drawn up, and the secretary was instructed
to communicate the same to Senator Dollf-
Yer. chairman of the committee on educa-
ton and labor, to which the bill had been
referred.
The petition respectfully requests early
consideration of Senate bill $685.. regulating
child labor In the District of Columbia, and
st1tes:
This legislation for the District is re-
quested on the ground that a~large number
OF children under fourteen years of age
are now employed In mechanical and mer-
camille establishments: that the hours OF
labor of these children are frequently of
undue length; that numbers of such children
are employed at night, and that the moral
conditions under which many of them are
employed are such as to call for immediate
regulat ton.
'9The Civic Center believes that the pro-
visions of Senate bill $685. will remedy most
IL not all. of these abuses. and at the same
time impose unnecessary restrictions on
the business interests of the District.

Columbia Is Endorsed by the president OF
