NO PROGRESS ON BILL FOR
HIGHWAY COMMISSION
Two More Substitutes to
Measure Further COmpIi-
Gates the Situation

The house Monday made no further
progress toward passing a state high
way commission bill. With something
like a dozen bills and substitutes on the
desk, brought over from last Friday,
! the house determined after considerable
debate to consider the whole matter in
committee of the whole. so as to facili-
tate an intelligent understanding of all
the various plans proposed.
But after goins into committee of
the whole. two additional substitutes
were introduced. which had the effect
of further complicating the situation.
one was introduced by Representative
Andrews of Fulton and thirty-eight 9TH
er members and the other by Repre-
sentative Anderson of Jenkins.
When these had been read Represent
ative Culpepper of Meriwether moved
TO refer the whole matter TO a special
committee of the whole or TO abandon
this method of procedure and refer the
various bills and substitutes to spe-
cial committee.
The adjourning hour OF 1 o'clock ar
rived with the debate unfinished, and
the Who'll emstter went over until Tues
day.
The house Monday morning defeated
by vote of 81 to IS a resolution provid-
ing for afternoon sessions. beginning
Tuesday; but adopted a resolution that
hereafter il shall convene at 9 instead
OF ID o'clock. thus lengthening the ses-
sion one hour. The hour of adjourn
ment stays fixed at l o'clock.
The resolution providing for afternoon
sessions vas introduced by Representa-
tive Knight. of Berrien. The resolution
providing for convention at 9 o'clock
was introduced by Representative Cui-
pepper, of Meriwether
On n resolution calling the attention
OF congress 10 water power in North
Georgia in connection with the building
OF a government nitrate plant, il de-
veloped that a quorum was not presen.
Speaker Burwell read the rule applying
in such cases. He threatened tor call
the roll. note the absentees and send Of
ticers to arrest them; but his threat
brought many absent members from the
corridors and the ante rooms and when
another vote was taken, a quorum was
secured.
The resolution. introduced by the
Floyd county delegation. was passed
after being amended to read Georgia
instead of North Georgia.
Another resolution, introduced by the
Floyd delegation, asking Georgia's sena-
tors and congressman to do all in their
power TO secure federal aid for flood suf-
ferers in northwest Georgia, was also
passed.

CHILD LABOR BILL TO Be
ACTED ON BY THE SENATE
Probably VIII Be
Changed to Meet Wishes
of the President
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The ieg1s-
lative program agreed upon by the sem
ate Democrats probably will be altered
to meet the desires of President Wilson
respecting the child labor bill. Senator
Hardwicl1s statement that he would not
resist the passage of the child labor
legislation beyond demanding a full and
free opportunity to discuss the measure
on its merits is accepted as rejecting
a disposition among it's opponents not
to engage in a filibuster, or attempt to
load down the bill with extraneous
amendments and legislative riders. 1t
is conceded that the bill will pass by a
substantial majority, if the opportunity
to vote is given.
Notwithstanding the disposition not
to obstruct or delay unnecessarily the
consideration of the child labor bill, out
of Difference to the wishes of the presi-
dent the situation in the senate is not
altogether satisfactory, from a political
standpoint.
Senator Hardwick, i'll announcing a
willingness to the full and free consid-
Grafton of child labor, sounded, also, a
note of warning respecting the immi-
I =
stance, that if child labor is pressed,
he intends to exert himself to see that
the senate is given opportunity also to
record its views on immigration. He
added that two-thirds of the senators,
in his opinion, were favorable to- the
enactment of the legislation restricting
immigration.
THE CHILD LABOR BILL
The child labor bill already has pass
ed the house, over the opposition of
southern Democrats. Congressman Will
liam Schley Howard was one of the few
southerners to vote for it's passage. OPP
position to the legislation, while err
roneously attributed to cotton mill in
terests in the south, really springs
from it's doubtful constitutionality and
from the fact that it is an invasion of
states rights.
The bill, broadly speaking, provides
that no commodity of the mill or mine
shall be transported in interstate COM
merce, if the labor of any child con-
tributes in any way to its production.
The character and quality of the COM
modify may be of the highest, yet it
will be excluded from shipment in in
terState commerce if child labor con-
tributed to it's manufacture.
Thus it is contended by opponents of
the mea sure that it is patiently an in
vasion, an interference with the inter-
nal industrial activities of the states.
They make bold to assert that if the
federal government can exclude from
commerce high-grade product because
it was not manufactured in a certain
way or with certain class of labor,
then the federal government may ex-
clude from commerce the products of
the farm-cottOn, corn, tObacco-if the
farmer uses any of his children in their
production.

ATLANTA, July 20.-Thc Carolina
floods which carried away railroad
bridges came near playing havoc with
Georgia peach shipments. and had
it not been for the quick work of the
Georgia Fruit exchange, in conjunc-
ton with the railroads, many cars
would have been lost.
All peach business south of Macon
had to be diverted by way of Augusta
and the Atlantic Coast Line, while bus
mess from the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic, and from the Southern
to Columbus and Williamson, is being
sent through Chattanooga, Knoxville
and Bristol. There was a full train
load of peaches in Atlanta when the
bridges went down. Manager b. j.
Christman of the exchange, succeed
ed in getting them out by way OF
Augusta, with only about htree hours
delay. The railroads have made new
arrangements with regard to icing
cars, nd practically no delay is now
experienced with the movement.
The railroad damage came right IL
the midst of Georgia's biggest peach
shipments, when they are moving al
the rate of 100 cars day, and for q
while it looked serious, but every
thing has been worked out. even tC
supplying of empty refrigerator cars
which were also cut off from the east
but have been secured north and
west.
Georgia's big peach shipments will
end this week. From then on they
will get gradually less. The total
shipments this year will be some
where close to 1900 cars or slightly
over, the exchange estimates having
been cut own as the result of the
heavy rains.
