PR0GRESSIVES TO PUT OUT ELECTORS
 IN NINE STATES
Men of Principle Who Left c. o. P. Remain Loyal
 to Cause.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 3.-Plans for the reorganization and perpetual tion of the Progressive party as ma. tional political organization, were adopted here tonight at conference of the Bull Moose representatives.
 The conference, after a heated dis cussion, decided it would be inplacti- cal at this date to re-assemble the Pro gressive national committee and fill the vacancy on the national ticket caused by Colonel Roosevelt's decler- sion of the nomination for the pre- si- dency. Instead, the organization will put up an electorial ticket in every state where there is a nucleus of an organization left, bearing the name of John M. Parker, nominee for vice president, in the hope of perhaps elect ing enough presidential electors who might prove the balance of power, in the event of a close contest between the two parties.
 Among the states in which this plan will be carried out are Louisiana, Maryland, Indiana, Missouri, Wiscon- sin, Michigan, Utah, North Dakota and Minnesota.
 The conference was called to order by Edwin M. Lee of Indianapolis, Pro- gressive state chairman of Indiana. Matthew Hale of Massachusetts, act ing chairman of the Progressive na- tional committee, was chosen to pre- side at the conference and J. A. H. Hopkins of New Jersey was elected secretary.

Senate Begins Considera- tion of Child Labor Bill
 Urged by Wilson.
NOT TRANSMISSION
 OF STATES RIGHTS
Arkansas Senator Shows That Sn- pTrmC Court Has Upheld Right of Congress to Suppress Evils Thru
 Kc@Uiatin" Commerce..

Washington, Aug 3.-Thc senate late today began consideration O. the bill tG prevent interstate commerce in the product of child labor. The the legislative program for this sos sion at the request of President Will son after the Democratic eauc,ls once had decided to let it go over until December. Southern Democrats are the only opponents of the measure which will be kept before the senate until the bill is passed.
 Senator Robinson of Arkansas, pre- scnting the bill on behalf of the com merce committee, told his Southern colleagues there was strong senti- mont in favor of the bill in their states. He read extracts from news papers in North and South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas, favoring child labor legisla- ton.
 Answering the contention that the proposed act would effect an uncOn- stitutional transgressiOn of the rights of the states, the Arkansas senator declared that under decision of the supreme court the power of congress to regulate commerce is complete and absolute, except as limited by the constitution itself; that the only linn itation is the fifth amendment which provides that no person shall be de- prived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; that the fn1rtannth n 6y1oont tn tn l. tuition imposes the same limitations on the states as that imposed by the fifth amendment on the federal gov ernment, and asserted:
 eff the states, in the exercise of the police power, can suppress evils of child labor, congress, through it's power to regulate commerce can pro- mote the same end by denying the channels of commerce to persons and enterprises in the interest of the pub lie health, morals and safety"
 Senator Robinson asserted that con gress could do indirectly great many things that it could not directly perform. Ai l.,
 "The lottery cases and the white slave cases, decided by the supreme court" he said, affirmed the power of congress to enact legislation in the nature of police regulation through it's power to regulate com merce-that congress has as much power to suppress recognized evils in iEe conditions surrounding the pro- duction or manufacture of commodi- ties through regulation of com merce as it has to accomplish the same ends after transportation has ended"
