While the navy bill was before the sen

Senator Gallinger for advocating the bill
insisting he had changed front on the is

present advocacy of the child labor bill
represents a change of heart.

regulate commerce between the states can
be stretched to include the regulation oI
labor in mills and factories it can be made

observe should the supreme court assent
