lived and. died and liveth evermore; and
In the Holy Spirit who taketh of the

the triumph of righteousness and for
LIE and glory everlasting, Amen.

LEGISLATORS NEAR FIGHT !
At CHILD LABOR HEARING
Measures to Aid Working Women
Also Considered by Pennsy1-
vania Lawmakers.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 15-Hundreds
of manufacturers from all parts Of the
state and an almost equal number of
labor leaders, social workers and others
crowded the senate chamber Yesterday
to argue for and against the child labor
bill, the measure designed to reduce the
hours of labo rfor women, and the wom-
ems minimum wage bill.
Many women were among those who
appeared in advocacy Of the proposed
legislation and who pleaded for it's en-
actment for humanity's sake, for the
sake OF better health of the women and
children and for the sake of more eff :
cheney" The manufacturers and other
opponents of the bills declared the meas
ures were impractical BILE and that il would
be difficult for the manufacturers to carry
out their provisions.
All of the bills have passed the lower
branch of the legislature and are now be
fore the senate.
The hearing. which was one of the live
lest of the present session of TIE legis-
iature, continued for more than five hours
and came near terminating in a physical
encounter between Henry e. Wasson
chairman of the republican state commit
tee, an advocate Of the bills, and Joseph
X. Grundy, manufacturer, one of the
readers of the opposition. Mr. WATSON
claimed the manufacturer had questioned
his integrity and made a rush for Grundy,
waving his fists. declaring he would
smash him in the face" Friends, how
ever, stepped between them and pre-
vented a clash.
