Sundays meeting of the Denver
Trades and Labor Assembly was one of
the most interesting held recently by
reason of the varied subjects considered
and the peppery debates upon several
questions. Much routine business also
was transacted.
\ motion was made and adopted that

come affiliated with the Assembly and
the State Firemen's Association recently

movement, being chartered direct by the

NO JOKER" In The
CHILD LABOR LAW
National Committee Denies
Charges of FRAUD"
Thirty-Day Clause Relates to Removal
Of Goods From Factory and Not
to Shipments Out Of State

The national child labor committee
has issued a protest against current
statements to the effect that the recent
ly passed child labor law is a fraud and
4 joker.
I'VE hope no one will be misled by
these rumors," says Owen R. Lovejoy,
general secretary of the national child
labor committee. "The bill was carefully
drawn and thoroly considered. 1t was
not jammed thru congress, but has been
pending three years. It is significant
that both Democrats and Republicans
were well represented on the senate COM
mittee that passed on the final form
of the bill, that both Democrats and
Republicans stood solidly for it in this
form. and that when the roll call was
taken only two Republicans-Oliver and
Penrose-and ten Democrats-all South
erners-voted against it.
IF the law is gold brick, both par
ties made the brick, and the attempt to
use it as campaign material is absurd.
The law is as tight as a law can be.
''The thirty day CLAUSE which has been
attacked as a joker does not relate to
shipment in interstate commerce, but to
removal from the factory, and was in
tended, chiefly, to prevent evasion of the
law by the storage of child made goods
thermore. because without it manufac-
turer who once employed child labor
would find his goods debarred forever
from interstate commerce. tven tho hi,
child employees were discharged.
1T has been suggested that some
thrifty manufacturer may try to rru
the government blockade with shipments
Of goods in thirty-day lots, hiring and
firing his children 90 as to evads the
law. but we believe that such a manufae-
turer would be an abnormally deter
mined employer Of chi.G- for employ
ers have been telling US for many years
that they do not want to employ chill
dren. but are forced to do so by competi-
tiou with other child employers-and
would soon call himself to the attention
OF a public that has already clearly sig
nified its objection TO the existence of
child labor.
The federal child labor law was
framed by the best constitutional law
yers in the country; il was passed by &
congress that had given it close atten-
tion, and we of the national child labor
committee believe that. whether the next
president be Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Hughes.
the child labor law can and will be en-
forced in accordance with the will of
the American people"
