CHILD LABOR BILL
 IS GIVEN REPORT
House Committee to Take Action On Weakley Sub-
 stitute At Once
Ny L.. $. HETsry

Montgomery, February 1-tSpecial) } The substitute child labor bill agreed upon by the sponsors of the Weakley- Hartwell bill, was reported fayorably to the senate Monday afternoon oy the mines and manufactures committee The house committee on mines and take action in regard to. the Wealxley bill introduced in the house and it is expected that the same substitute will be reported favorably by them. This substitute measure has no opposition and Is likely to be passed in plenty of time before the adjournment of the legislature.
 Herschel H. Jones of Birmingham, secretary of the Alabama child labor committee, gave out a statement today regarding the compromise measure, which Is satisfactory to the cotton mill owners and the telegraph companies who had been opposing the original hill MT. Jones says: "The only serious change made from the original bill by this substitute bill is the lengthcning of the hours of labor of children.
 The child labor bill as prepared by the cillu ldDOf committee ana sponsored by the State Federation of Womens clubs. provided that child under Is should be employed for more than eight hours a day or 4S hours a week. This is the accepted standard of work day for chill dren in the larger part of the impor- tant industrial states, and the impor- tance of shortening the day of labor for children in the adolescent years has long ago been demonstrated. But at this time it was impossible to obtain such an advance over the present law.
 Something Gained
 Tt Is outrageous that children of IA and 15 years should be allowed to be worked Il hours a day in cotton mills or any other employment, but it is great gain to prevent their employment under the age of IA so as to give them such chance for education and growth at least up to this age. The mill men of the state making no opposition to the law as long as the hours of la bor are not changed, though some of them had previously sought to defeat the whole bill Their views in regard to the bill have been, of course, biased by the fact that it effected their busi- nesses. And the views of those who are supporting the bill are probably also

many, may work equal wonders for
you. Use 1T a short time, Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as
If, by magic? Try this prescription.
Go to the nearest wideawake drug store
and get bottle OF DIPLOMA tablets; fill
a two-ounce bottle with warm water,
drop In one tablet and allow it to thor

note how quickly your eyes clear up

time. This is a simple treatment, but
marvelously effective in multitudes OF
cases. Now that you have been warned
