CH|LD-LABOR MEASURE

Program for This Session mt
Request OF President.
ROBINSON pREsENT BILL
Tells Southern Democrats, Who
Form Only Opposition, That There
Is Strong Sentiment In Their
States In Favor OF It's Passage.

WASHINGTON. August 3.--Thc som
ate late to-day began consideration OF
the bill TO prevent interstate commerce
IN the products of child labor. The
measure was restored to Il place on the
Legislative program for this session
at the request of President Wilson af-
ter the Democratic caucus once had
decided to let it 20 over until Dc
ccmber. Southern Democrats arc the
only opponents Of the measure. which
will be kept before the Senate until
IL is passed
Senator Robinson. in presenting the
bill, told his Southern colleagues there
was a strong sentiment I'm favor of it
in their States. He read extracts from
newspapers in North and South Caro-
and Texas favorinE child-labor legis-
lation.
Answering contentious that the pro-
posed act would effect an unconstitu-
tional transgression OF the rights of
the states, the Arkansas Senator de-
clared that under decision OF the SUI
prcmc Court the power OF Congress to
regulate commerce is complete and alb
solutc, except as limited by tho Con-
stitution itself; that the only limita-
ton Is the fifth amendment. which
provides that no person shall be de-
ia iNt' Va iiit, property OF llDcTtS WITH
out due process OF law: that the four
tccnth amendment to the Constitution
imposes the same Limitation on the
States as that imposed by the fifth
amcniment on the Federal govern
ment; and that "if the States, in tho
exercise of the police power. can sup
press evils of child labor, Congress
through its power to regulate com-
merce. can promote the same end by
denying the channels of commerce TO
persons and enterprises In the inter
est of the public health, morals and
safety"
Senator Robinson asserted that Con.
gross could do indirectly great
many things that it could not directly
perform.
The lottery cases and the white slave
cases decided by the Supreme Court"
he said. affirm the power OF Congress
TO enact legislation in the nature of
police regulations through its power
TO regulate commerce. Congress has ms
much power to suppress recognized de-
fcctS in the conditions surrounding the
production or manufacture OF commouL-
ties through Il regulation of commerce.
as 1t has TO accomplish the same end
after transportation has ended"
