Gives Suffragists and
Ants Right to Keep
Close Tabs on the
Voting in November
STILL SPARRING
ON CHILD LABOR
Leaders Last Night Considered 1t I'm
likely That Original Measure, AS
Favored By Governor, Will Be
Amended in Senate Committee

The Senate last night reported out
favorably from the Elections commit
tee the bill allowing the friends and
opponents of woman suffrage to have
watchers at the polls next November.
These watchers may be men or wom-
en-, just as they are selected by their
respective suffrage or anti-suffrage or
ganizations to keep tabs on the voting
when the suffrage amendment will be
up for adoption or rejection.
1t was expected that at last night s
session something would be done in an
effort to put the child labor bill back
in the committee ON Judiciary Spe-
cial, but if there ever was any such
intention the idea was abandoned.
The Senate recessed until 8
clock last night waiting the arrival
of Senator Crow, of Fayette, the lead
er of the Republican majority on the
Senate side, the expectation being that
he would give out hint as to what
should be done with the child labor
bill, but Senator Crow, arrived, had a
conference with Governor Brumbaugh
and later announced he did not know
what was going to be done.
Senators Ware and McNichol, who
are making the fight on the floor of
the Senate for Governor Brumbaugh
in the child labor matter, announced
they ,have pledged for child labor the
votes of thirty-four Senators, and that
there may he more. Senator Snyder,
of Schuylkill, chairman of the Judici-
ary Special committee, who reported
the bill out ON Monday night, says
that there should be some amending
of the bill in committee, but he is not
so confident that it will be done.
Little Change For Amendment
The probabilities are that the ma
jority for the bill will concede the
sending of the measure back to com
mittee just to let its opponents save
their face, but will not agree to any
amendments and will have the power
to send the bill back to the Senate
again Just as it came from the House.
The real fight, if there is to be any,
will be ON the floor of the Senate.
The Cox bill, backed by Governor
Brumbaugh, calls for a nine.hour day
for child labor and a 51-hour week,
with the age limit for newsboys at
fourteen years, and for messenger boys
at night at p years, while the oppo-
nents of this are striving for a ten.
hour day and 54-hour week, with
the age limit for newsboys at 10 years
and for messenger boys at night at is
years.
Manufacturers For Amendment
Those are the principal points of
variance between the two factions. The
State Manufacturers Association is
backing the proposed amendments for
the longer hours of labor and the
shorter age limit, and the large dele
cation from the association, headed by
President Joseph Grundy, is on the
alert constantly to endeavor to gain
victory.
The indications are that there will
be climax in all important legisla.
tion next week. The Senate is booked
to adjourn to-day until next Monday
night, and in the meantime something
will be done to smooth matters over
and prevent an open outbreak.
