LABOR
BILL FAVORED
IN HOUSE
Measure Provides Scale of Ages
for Employment of Children
in Georgia Plants.

The Sheppard child labor bill was
favorably reported to the House Wed
nesday by the Labor and Labor Sta
tistics Committee. with a substitute
regarding the employment OF illlterate
children, setting their age at s years,
and a school attendance requirement
of twelve weeks
The bill provides for a scale of ages
under which children may not be en-
ployed in factories mills and stores
These limits are - years, in 1913; 10
years. in 1914, and IA years. in 1915.
II probably will come before the
House for passage the latter part OF
the week.
Opposition was expressed to the bill
before the committee. and this fight
will be carried to the floor of the
House by the advocates of a strict
child labor bill Their fight will be
on the claim that the bill provides no
punishment for the employer guilty OF
working a child under age, and also
that the school attendance require
-ment is not sufficient.
The Sheppard bill is the one which
has been referred to as the compro-
mise bill" having been submitted Ia
the textile interests before being sub
mitted to the House, and which was
Endorsed by them.
A favorable report on the Arnold
bill providing for a permanent regis
tration list was made by the Privi-
leges and Elections Committee. This
is House Bill No. 200. and is believed
to be slated for an easy passage
through both Houses of the Legisla-
ture.

CHATTANOOGA To
ASK CHANGE IN
v. "a. YARDS
Railroad Committee From Ten
nessee City Coming to See the
Georgia Legislators.

Members of the Chattanooga Cham
Der of Commerce committee on the
Western and Atlantic Railroad have
signitied their intention of coming to
Atlanta within a few days to place
before the Georgia Legislature a
proposition for removing the Western
and Atlantic freight yards from the
heart of Chattanooga.
They are cooperating with the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce and be-
fore presenting their plans to the
Legislature will confer with the To-
cal committee with an idea of settling
upon a definite plan of action which
may have the support of both COM
mercial organizations.
The proposition, as advanced by
the ChattanooganS, is to induce the
Georgia Legislature to pass a bill
putting the whole matter into the
hands of a permanent commission
which will have the power to pur-
chase property in the suburbs Of
Chattanooga to take the place of the
w. & A. yards in the heart of the
city.
The commission would also be
given authority to negotiate the rem
tai of the grounds vacated by the
railroad. c. E. Jones, of Chatta-
nooga, at one time made an offer Of
$160,000 a year to the State Of Geor-
gia for the property occupied by the
tracks This offer is said to still
stand good. 1t has since been an
nounCed that the Chattanooga COM
mittee when it comes to Atlanta will
bring an offer of 100000 a year to
place before the Legislature.
