labor legislation was not germane to
the bill. He was supported in his
stand by Representatives Howard of
Georgia Graham Of Illinois and Lewis
OF Maryland. Kelley's contention was
supported by Republicans and Pro-
gressives.
Geor-ians Defend State.
Representative Mclaughlin of
Michigan declared that the Georgia
members in opposing the Kelley
amendment were substantiating the
charges made in the past that Geor-
gia was the greatest offender of all
the States in the matter Of child la
Dor. He sent TO the desk an editorial
from Democratic paper published in
Denver under the caption "The Dis
grace Of Georgia"
Representatives Bartlett Howard
and hardwick, OF Georgia, rushed TO
the defense Of their State. They de-
MED that children We're employed IN

but you deprive grown men of the
rights and you murder and deport
them.
ut comes with i'll grace that a mem
Der from Michigan which now stands
disgraced among all the States should
insert in the record here an untrutn-
ful editorial regarding child labor In
Georgia"
When Renresentative Howard re-
ferred to numbering men in Michigan,
Minority Leader Mann lnteriected:
You burn them in your State
Turning to Mann Howard retorteo:
Springfield Is Recalled.
Yes, and I have heard of lynch
ings in Illinois and ! remember
Springfield. You lynched more there
in one day than the Southern States
would lynch in two weeks"
This reply was greeted with loud
laughter.
In closing Howard asserted that
the copper kings of Michigan domi-
nate that state and they have not on
lv dehed state, but Federal laws.
Representative Fordney. Of Michi-
gan, interiected that this happened
under n Democratic Governor
