S. c. CONGRESSMEN
OPPOSE LABOR BILL
Byrncsii Nichols and RagSdalc Take
Active Part in Uphill Fight Against
Child Labor Bill.

Washington, Jan. Representa-
tive Byrnes, Nichols and Ragsdale c
took an active part in the fight on
the keating child labor bill when it
was before the house this week, all
making speeches against it, Mr.
Nichols made his maiden speech, and
made good impression.
The arguments used against the bill
by the South Carolina members were
that it was unconstitutional to begin
with, and that it was neither needed
or desired by the cotton mill opera
tivcs of the South. who would be the
people most affected by it. They said
they had received many petitions
from the mill operatives protesting
against the bill.
Representative Howard, of Allan
ia was one Of the advocates of the
bill. In course of his remarks he
criticised the South Carolina members
for their stand, and intimated that
the labor laws Of Georgia were bet
ter than those of South Carolina
The strong arm Of the law protects
the children in Georgia" he said
Il am glad to hear that the strong
arm OF the law protects somebody in
Georgia" rctortcd Mr. Byrncs, and
this brought down the house.
Then Mr.. Ragsdalc got in word
and invited Mr.. Howard's attention
to the fact that no governor of South
Carolina was ever trcatcncd by a mob.
and the house seemed to enjoy his
thrust, too.
Mr.. Howard did not attempt any re-
ply.
Messrs Byrnes and Ragsdale offered
a number Of amendments, intended to
cripple the BILL but all of them we're
rejected, as the sentiment of the house
is overwhelmingly for the bill as it
stands The bill will come up again
next Wednesday, and may be passed
on that day. It's ultimate passage by
the house by large majority is con
ceded, but there is no such certainty
as to what the action Of the senate will
be.
The bill seeks to prohibit the en-
ployment Of children under II years
in mines or manufacturing establish
mcnts, and to prohibit the employment
Of children under lG years for more
than s hours a day, or at night.

WILSON TO WRITE
 OWN PLATFORM;
 NO AID BY BRYAN

WASHINGTON. May 16.-For the first time in twenty years William Jennings Bryan will not be domin. ant in framing the Democratic No- tional platform.
 President Wilson win fashion that important document this year, with. out the aid Of the Nebraskan. Just who is to head the resolutions com mlttee, which will present the plat form to the convention, has not been decided by the party leaders, but the platform itself will be the work largely of the President lt may be that he will write some of tine blanks himself but at any rate he will dictate the whole instrument
 Lodge c. O. p. Chairman
 Senator Lodge will lead in prepar. Ing the Republican platform lt Is accepted here that the Massachu- sets Senator is to be chairman of the Republican resolutions committee although there has been much talk about making him the permanent chairman Of the convention.
 It will be Q more difficult task to frame the Republican than the Dem ocratic platform. The Democratic pledges of the 1912 platform are to be brought forth again in much the same dress, possibly with some new and stronger language in connection with foreign policy framed to give strength and indorsement to the Wilson policies. Because 1t was the platform on which the Democrats won four years ago, the Democratic leaders here are averse to making many changes in it.
 To Write c. o. p. Planks.
 The Republicans will have to get platform this year that will ap. peal to the voters better than did the platform of 1912. They will have to remodel their tariff plank and write some new blanks on for. eign questions to offset the effect of the Democratic blanks built on the basis of a policy that has kept the country out Of war"
 Senator Lodge Is considered the ablest man in the Republican ranks when t comes to shaping up blanks on the foreign questions For this reason. 1t is understood that he has been slated for the chairmanshlp of the resolutions committee.
 Root To Have Part
 He will have. undoubtedly, the as. sistance of former Senator Root and other party leaders in performing this task. Should Colonel Roosevelt be the nominee of the convention he win take a prominent part in build ing the party platform, especially those portions dealing with foreign questions.
 Both Of the parties seem to be drifting to a conviction that it may be necessary or advisable to Insert in the platform a plank indorsiue equal suffrage It is not 30 much that they favor the plank as that ninety-one presidential electors will be chosen from the twelve states now having equal suffrage
