NOT APPROVE ACTION.
Riot Occurs In Church When Rev.
Wilk Endeavors to Conduct Serv-

Three weeks ago when the bill to
amend the child labor law SO as to
prohibit children under fourteen years
of age working in the Colorado beet
fields was considered in open hearing
at a joint session of the senate and
house committees on labor, one of the
loudest opponents of the amendment
and strongest advocates of working
babies twelve to sixteen hours per day
in the beet fields and sugar factories,
was the Rev. William Wilk, pastor
of the Evangelical Lutheran church at
Windsor, Weld county. He cham
pioned the beet growers and sugar
factories at every turn, and denounced
the labor unions and women's clubs
for their attempt to protect children
between six and fourteen from slave
work that dwarfed them mentally,
physically and morally. Wilke de-
clared the reports about conditions as
stated by women who had made inves-

Manhattan alone! Forty per cent OF
these men are above 2" years of age.
When thes BprfrneH biz, passes practi'
cally every man Of 'em will make a
rush to get his papers and avoid de-
portation.
"We handled more than $4,000 ap-
plications in the five months after
diplomatic relations were broken.
When the Burnett bill passes we will
have to handle about four times as
many applications in one or two
months as we had to handle in five
months"
Nearly a million and half men
Of military age are safely ensconced
in the twilight zone" between the
country of their nativity and of their
adoption. Besides the 1923 unnat.
uralized Germans disclosed in the
registration, there are 1,239,S65 other
unnaturalized foreigners of military
age living in America, the larger part
OF whom come from counties now
allied with the United States. All
these men are exempt from service in
the new army. 'j S..
The Burnett bill is aimed at the
men who have come to this country,
and enjoyed all benefits of citizen
ship without assuming any Of its OBJ
legations. It will result in making
available all fit men for service either
in the American army or with the al
lied armies, for if these men choose
deportation rather than citizenship,
they will be drafted under the law
of their own countries as soon as
they arrive on their home shores.

The new rush on the bureau which
has already set in, since the intro
duction of Congressman John l.. Bur-

exceed tile unprecedented jam which
clogged the official machinery when
diplomatic relations were broken with

have not been naturalized. 1t gives
these men 80 to Co., days from the
enactment OF the measure to take out
citizenship papers so as to make
them subject to military service here;
or in case of failure to do so, that
they shall be deported.

ty Clerk William F, Schneider, today.
