Working Children Shoulder Immigrants

Friends of the child labor bill in Con-
gress are highly incensed by the action of
Senator Borah in attaching the immigra-
tion bill as a rider to the Heating Owen
bill. This, they believe, will seriously
ieopardize the passage of the child la Dor
bill, as the president will probably veto
it in that form. The immigration bill
has no possible relation to the child la
Dor bill and this move by the Republi-
cans looks 10 the friends of the children
like mere political trick for the pur-
pose of putting the president in a hole.
At the office of the national child labor
committee Friday the general secretary.
Owen r. Loveioy, said: Senator Borah
has always been a good friend of child
labor reform and we hope to induce him
to save himself and his party the embar-
rassment of being responsible for the de.
feat OF the measure. The Democrats
had wisely decided TO steamroller the
half-dozen reactionaries who have been
standing in the way and until this i'm
migration rider was loaded on. we we're
sure Of victory. We have Just sent Sen
ator Borah the following telegram:
We earnestly urge YOU u withdraw
