TO TAKE ACTION ON
 CHILD LABOR LAW
Measure Will be Taken Up in the
 Senate This Week.

Washington, July 30-Presfdent Wilson having won his fight for ac- ton before adjournment of congress on the bill to prevent interstate com merce in the products of child labor, the senate will take up the measure this week with an interesting struggle over it in prospect.
 Passage of the bill is a foregone conclusion, but it will be opposed stubbornly by a group of southern democrats and an attempt will be made by Senator Borah, aided by the immigration bill which the demo- cratic caucus determined to put over until next session.
 Senator Robinson, who reported the bill from the commerce committee, hopes to get it before the senate by Tuesday. As it passed the house the measure provides:
 '"That no producer, manufacturer CT dealer shall ship or deliver for shtp- ment in interstate or foreign com merCa the product of any mine or quarry in the United States in which prior to the removal of the product children under IS years of age have been employed, or the product of any mill, cannery, workshop factory or manufacturing establishment in which thirty days prior to removal of such product therefrom children under 14 have been employed, or in which chil- dren between If and 16 havefbeen en- ployed more than eight hours a day, more than six days a week or before 6 a, m. and after ! p. m,

Berlin, July 3O.-Reports of a great confagration at Petrograd, in which a bridge across the River NeVa, twelve large steamers, including several trans Atlantic liners, and the Putilon gun works and other establishments were destroyed, are printed in the Lo- kaI Anzieger.
 Bridge Took Fire at Several Places.
 On Tuesday the wooden palace bridge across the Neva took fire at several places. Immediately flaming pontoons drIfted to Vassili Ostrov (Basu Island) where a huge ire broke out and also to the port where twelve large steamers, including several Atlantic liners, a floating dock, the Putiloff works and other esta blish- ments took fire.
