"The Congress of the United States

PUNISHMENT INFLICTED
BY GERMANS
On French Men and Women De-
scribed i'm Appeal for Relief
Mayor is Tortured.

Paris.--Erance sent an official note to
the neutral Powers protesting against
the action of the German authorities to-
ward the population in the French de-
partments occupied by Teuton forces.
The note is accompanied by mass of
testimony concerning the seizure for
work in fields of thousands of women
and young girls. The document says
that the events which took place at Lille
Roubaix and Turcoing were only the
application OF the cruel system of work
forced" ON the population, and describes
the various forms of violence the Ger
mans are accused of having practiced.
The note says: "A woman who was
removed from B., Ardennes, affirms
that her husband was shot for refusing
to obey an order to requisition supplies,
and that she herself was imprisoned for
two days.
"ln F, Meurthe and Moselle, work
assigned to the Mayor being uncom-
pleted in time, he was suspended from
a tree by means of rope passed under
his arms, and he was left in this posi-
ton about an hour"
The note cites cases of men from 20
to so years old made to work of wom-

French troops and of others compelled
to dig trenches 1t also makes a charge,
based on the testimony of a witness,
that in October, 1914, the Germans took
from the department of Pas de Calais
party of inhabitants, that they used them
as shields against the fire of French, and
that 40 were thus killed.

Washington-The Senate Tuesday
passed the bill to prevent interstate COM
merce. in products of child labor. The
vote was 52 to H.
The measure, already passed by the
Senate upon the insistence of President
Wilson after the Democratic Senate
caucus once had decided to defer its
consideration until next December.
Senators who voted against the bill
were: Bankhead Ala; Bryan and
Fletcher, Fla; Hardwick and Smith,
Ga; Overman and Simmons, N. c.;
Smith and Tillman, S. c.; Williams,
Miss. (Dems), and Oliver and Pen
rose, Pa. (Reps).
Opposition to the measure had come
chiefly from Southern cotton mill own
ers, and the group of Southern Demo-
Gratis who voted against it had fought
it in caucus and maintained their op-
position during the Senate debate on
the ground that the regulation pro-
posed is unconstitutional and would in
terfere with the rights of the State.
Eleven Democrats from the South,
Senators Swanson and Martin, Va.
Underwood. Ala; Nardaman, Miss.
lanes and Beckham. Ky; Ransdell,
La; Robinson, Ark, and Shields,
Tenn, voted for it.
In order to expedite consideration of
the measure in conference Senate con-
ferees were appointed after the final vote
was taken. The only amendment adopt
ed would extend the bills provisions to
bar all products of establishments en-
ploying children from interstate COM
merce, The House measure was directed
only against those on which child labor
actually had been employed,
Senator Borah did not offer the
amendment he had drawn attaching the
immigration bill as a rider in order to
force action on it at this session. Amend
ments to make the prohibition apply
only to children under II who could not
read nor write to make it apply to chill
dren on farms, and to postpone its Ell
fcctive date for two years were voted
down.
The bill as passed would prohibit in
terstate commerce in the product of any
mine or quarry in which children under
16 years of age have been employed, or
in the product of any mill, cannery,
workshop, factory or manufacturing cs-
tablshment in which children under IA

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
FAVORED BY SENATE

Washington.-The Senate has passed
the Smith Hughes bill, which provides
for vocational education and industrial
training, and which has been continu-
ously urged by the American Federation
OF Labor. This legislation, known in
the House as the Hughes bill, has been
approved by the committee on education
and is now on the House calendar.
Under this bill the federal government
will pay an amount equal to that ex-
pended by states for education designed
to prepare boys and girls over IA years
ment in agriculture, in the trades and
industries and in home economies, and
to extend knowledge of mature work.
ers. Only schools controlled by the
public are eligible to federal assistance
Three classes of schools are con-
templated.
First-To aid schools in which practi-
cally half the time is given to vocational
instruction.
Second-Part-time schools for young
workers over ii years of age, with a
view of extending their vocational
knowledge
Third-Evening schools to extend the
NoCdllolldl kllbWlcuSC lOI WOIkcTS ONcl
16 years of age.
Provision is made for the training of
teachers of agricultural trade, industrial
and home economic subjects.
A federal board for vocational educa-
ton is created which will work with
state boards designated or created for
this purpose
To secure federal aid the states,
through their legislative authorities.
must formally accept the conditions of
this act.
The bill was prepared largely through
the work of a commission on national
aid to vocational education, created by
act of congress and approved by Presi-
dent Wilson, January 90 1914 On this
commission the president appointed, as
representatives of organized labor, Miss
Agnes Nestor, president of the lnterna-
tional Glove Workers union, and
Charles H. Winslow Sawsmiths' union
While little publicity has been given
this legislation, which is based on a need
for real efficiency, it involves the eH-
penditure of large sums. In the matter
OF salaries for teachers, supervisors and
directors of agricultural. trade and in
dustrial subjects alone, SOS, s,5OO,OOO will
be expended between the years 1916 and
1925. These appropriations start with
$1000000 for the year 1916 and increase
annually until the maximum is reached.

DIRECT LEGISLATION
CRIPPLED BY COURT

Olympia. Wash.-The power some
courts have taken unto themselves to
check rule of the people is shown in a
decision by the state supreme court on an
initiative measure known as the fish
bill"
A portion of this proposed law is ex
planatory. The court rules that this is
argument and must be eliminated, on
the ground that it is unfair to oppo-
nents of the bill, who must, according
to law, pay for publishing their own ar
guments.
This decision was made by a vote of
five to four, and places the court in the
attitude of censor over direct legisla-
ton, which is intended to permit free
expression by the people in Legislative
matters.
In dissenting opinion the four min
ority judges declared that of all laws
those initiated must require the aid of its
advocates, and that if the majority
opinion is correct, then the courts
must in every instance either say that
there shall be no preambles, thus abro-
eating the admitted power OF the law
makers to define their intentions, or
scan the entire act as to its every pro-
vision without the aid of briefs and de-
termine in advance every ambiguity that
might arise in every possible case, which
reference to the preamble might be
necessary to solve
The minority protests against court
censorship and insists that the court has
reversed itself from former decision,
in which it was held that questions of
this character are legislative function.
'If it is the duty of the court to so
purge the preamble says the minority
decision, 1T is equally its duty to purge
every section. Every preamble is in its
nature essentially argumentative and
every law carries in its provisions an
argument for its own existence. Assum-
ing the power, it is difficult to believe
that either the people, when they adopt
ed the constitutional amendment, or the
legislature, when it passed the faciitat-
ing act ever intended that the courts
should so scan and rewrite initiative bills
as to purge them of argumentative mat
ter"
