Child Labor Amendment

ments of the chairman of the COM
mittee and Senator Lodge, second
ranking Republican, plainly demon.
strated the Pomerene amendment had
no place in revenue bill.
"rhis amendment" said Senator
Overman, 'is not designed to raise
revenue 1t is not claimed that IL
will raise revenue. 1t is offered sole
ly to nullify a decision of the high
est court of the land and represents
an arbitrary use of the taxing power.
at has been held that the power

This proposal shows an intent to
nullify and destroy supreme court

nue. BILL and l believe that members
of congress violate their oaths of
office when they vote to set aside the
courts decision by arbitrary use of
the taxing power. If you can set
aside one decision of the supreme
court in this fashion, you can Sc;
aside others, and congress nullifies
the work of another branch of the
government"
Senator Overman said he expected
the new child labor law, assuming
that the house will concur IN the
senate amendment, will be taken into
the courts and it's constitutionality
attacked.
AS published in full in previous
dispatches to The Journal, the
amendment places a 10 per cent tax
upon the net profits of the mines
quarries, mills, canneries, workshops
and manufacturing establishments
employing child labor. This tax Is
additional TO all other taxes levied
by law. The tax is levied if chill
dren under the age Of sixteen have
been permitted to work in any mine
or quarry, or If children under four
teen have been employed in the
other industries mentioned, or if
children between the ages Of four
teen and sixteen have been worked
at night or more than eight hours
per day.
The amendment was introduced
by Senator Pomerene, of Ohio. but
was drawn Jointly by him and Sena-
tors Lenroot, of Wisconsin, and Ken
yOn, of Iowa.
House concurrence in the amend
ment is expected, as the lower BODY
recorded an overwhelming vote for
the child labor bill two years ago.

Georgia Senators Cast Neg
ative Votes Say Rider
Violates Constitution and
NuIIifieS Court Decision
LAST-MINUTE TELEGRAPH
BY THEopoEE TILLER

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Dec. 49,
over the protest of southern sena-
tors, who claimed the amendment
meant interference with states rights
and the use Of the taxing power to
circumvent a decision of the United
states supreme court. the senate late
Wednesday adopted the Pomerene
amendment to the war revenue bill.
which places a prohibitory tax on
workshops, Gamers. mines and fac
tories employing child labor.
The vote was so to II, with only
a few senators from the cotton mill
states of the south standing out
against the amendment.
Both Georgia senators voted
against the child labor amendment,
following the precedent set when
they opposed the original law on the
sround that it was unconstitutional
and an invasion of states rights.
Senator IIardwick made an eX-
tended speech in opposition, attack
ing the constitutionality of the tax
rider and criticising such an attempt
to nullify a decision of the supreme
court by improper use of the taxing
power.
Senator Overman, of North Caro-
lima, also spoke at length along
.heSe lines
Mullifes Court Decision
Opponents of the prohibitory tax
did not discuss the merits or de
merits of child labor, but insisted
that the supreme court decision was
about to be nullified by an act OF
congress which was not designed as
n revenue producer, but was admit
tedly intended to get around the de
cision of the highest tribunal. This
decision, rendered on a case appeale l
from the western district of North
Carolina, set aside the child labor
law of 1916 which barred products
of child labor from interstate COM
merce. This was declared. in effect
to be an interference with the rights
of the states to regulate local fac
tories.
Senator Simmons, chairman Of the
finance committee, said during the
debate that the Pomerene amend
ment was not intended as a revenue
producer. The committee, he said
had received no estimate of the reve-
nue. such an amendment might pro-
duce.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts
also of the finance committee, ac-
knowledSed that the amendment was
intended primarily not to produce
revenue, but to meet the situation
produced by the decision of the su.
preme court. Senator Simmons Joined

machine. He was right.
Thirty years ago Bishop Wright
brought home a toy helicopter. a but
terfiy-shaped contrivance with paper
wings and a propeller, spun with
twisted rubber. That toy fired the
imagination of the Wright boys.
Magnitied, the toy might carry
man, they thought! They made large
helicopters and then gliders.
In 1900, at Kitty Hawk, n. c., the
Wrights worked their elders. Final
ly they installed q light motor, and
on December II, 1908, Orville made
a flight of just under a minute.
This was the birth of the airplane,
the fllmsy, iconoclastic thing which

mates frontiers and promises to ex-
pand civilization as much as have
