The shouting ceased as he reached
a position between the two main pill
lars which sustained the weight of

about until they touched the great

upon him nov in wonder to see what

Suddenly upon the stiffness which
had fallen rose the voice Of Samson
as he lifted his face towards heaven;
and the eager multitudes leaned for
ward to hear what was said, while the

something unusual was transpiring,
pressed toward the front.

out from the people as they cried:
"He prayeth to his God!" But the
sound thereof was quickly drowned in
the noise of crashing timbers as Sam.
son bent himself between the pillars,
and they went down like bits of straw.
And the house fell upon the lords, and
upon all the people that were therein;
so that the dead which Samson slew
at his death were more than they
which he slew in his life.

slMMoNs's CHILD
LABOR LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON, D. c., January o.
Senator Simmons to-day introduced a
child labor bill, which is designed to make
1t unlawful for an interstate carrier to
transport from the State of production
into another State products Of mino or
factory IN which children are employed
or permitted to work In violation Of the
child labor laws of the State in which
the factory or mine is located,
This bill differs from the Beverd1e
bill, in that it does not undertake to
make child-labor law, but recognizes
the child-labor laws OF the several States,
and seeks to make them effective. 1T Is
based upon the idea that nearly all the
states have child-labor laws, and that
they are largely ineffective. and will re-
main so as long as they can only he en-
forced by local prosecution for their vio-
IatOn.
This, MIR. Simmons thinks, will make
the state laws effective by making it
practically impossible for factory or
mine to violate these laws and obtain the
benefits Of interstate transportation.
