new CHILD LABOR
BILL PASSES HOUSE
PRODUCTION OF THEIR HANDS
ARE BARRED FROM INTER.
STATE COMMERCE.

WashingtOn.-The Heating bill,
barring from interstate commerce the
products of child labor, was passed
by the House, 337 to 46. and now goes
10 the Senate. 1t imposes heavy pen
alties for interstate shipment of any
commodity made in whole or in part
by children under l6. working in mines
or quarries, or by children under IL
working in mills, Canneries, work
shops or manufacturing establish
ments. Where children are employed
al night or more than eight hours a
day in this latter class OF industries
the minimum age is Is instead of IL.
The only material change made 10
the measure was by the adoption of
an amendment exemQting- the boys
and girls canning clubs.
The House spent the entire day de-
batting the bill. Opposition came
largely from the South. Representa-
tive Webb of North Carolina. chair
man of the House judiciary commit
tee. urged that it was unconstitutional,
and sought unsucCessfuily to exempt
the children Of widows from its opera
tions. He also endeavOred to have II
applied to the tenement houses of
New York and Boston.
Representatives Sears of Florida
sought unsuccessfully to amend the
measure so as to leave its enforce
ment to United States marshals and
not to special inspectors of the De-
partment of Labor, while former
Speaker Cannon offered an amendment
TO exempt canneries. because of the
competition of canneries across the
border in Canada. Representative
Dallinger OF Massachusetts wanted
carriers made liable for transporting
child labor products. He was willing
TO protect the carriers by providing
that shippers should file affidavits as
to the production.
The amendment to exempt the boys
and girls canning clubs from the ope-
ration of the law was first PROPOSED
by Representative Clark of Florida.
Congressman Heating, author of the
bill, contended that the measure would
not be construed as applying to such
and pleaded against
any loopholes being left for violation
of the law.
