More Earnest Than Others-GaI-
Iinger Cites Situation In Indiana.

Mr.. Beveridpe Of Indiana consumed
almost the whole of Yesterdays session
Of the Senate with a continuation Of his
child labor speech. He had not concluded
when adjournment was had, and viii
take the floor again to-day.
His desk and those on each side Of il
were piled high with law and reference
books from which he frequently quoted
On the wall of the chamber just back Of
him were two large maps, painted and
marked TO bring out IN relief the an
thraeite region and the cotton fac
tory States. wherein are unusually large
employers Of child labor
His sharp criticism of the child-labor
laws Of a number Of States drew the fire
OF many Senator's. Mr.. Bacon, OF
Georgia, defended his state, but Mr.
Beverage declared that the statute there
was just what the manufacturers wanted.
and that it was not worth the paper it
was printed on. In citing a narrowing
case OF abuse, he turned to the Georgia
Senator and exclaimed: cot course this
subject is not so interesting. perhaps. as
some academic discussion, or a debate On
some constitutional question"
