COMPARES SEVERAL
 STATES TO ORIENT
Use of Child Labor DeplOred by
 Labor Dept. Attache

Those states which today permit the employment of children under IA years of age rank with Japan. China and India in the protection which they give to working children" de- clares Miss Grace Abbott. chief of the children's bureau of the U. S. de-
 partment of labor Tn her annual re- port which has now been made pub
 lie she points out that nearly all the civilized western nations afford their children the protection that num-
 Der of American states withhold that of 14-year-age minimum. The
 extent. she says. Ito which the chil-
 dren Of the United States have suf-
 fered from the nullifying of the fed- eral child labor tax law'-on May
 Il of the present year by supreme court decision-"may be measured by the fact that only 13 states meet in all particulars the standards of the federal law" Since a previous at- tempt by congress to bring child labor under federal control had also been declared unconstitutional, the su- preme court seems to have made the issue clear" the report says, either we give up the plan of federal min imum and rely solely upon the states. or we undertake to secure a federal amendment definitely giving to con- gress the powr to pass a child labor law"
 Tn spite of great diversities in the child labor laws of our AS states, the developing tendencies in the United States are clear" but the details of these laws fit together like the pieces of crazy quilt" Miss Abbott declares. The development of public opinion in the United States with reference to child labor has been not unlike that in western Europe, she says, but in the actual machinery for regulation and control there. have been great difficulties ies-demonstrating at once the advantages and the limi- tations of the federal form of gov ernment." Some states have ad- vanced beyond the general standard while others have Jagged behind. A constitutional amendment which would secure to the children "all the advantages of our federal form of government by giving to congress the right to establish a federal minimum,| and leaving to the states the right to raise and not lower standards" is recommended by Miss Abbott.
 In 1917 and 1918 Miss Abbott was director of the special division in the children's bureau which administered the first federal child-labor law. Her discussion, in the present report, of the question whether a federal | amendment should give congress ex- elusive or concurrent jurisdiction | with the states is therefore of special l interest. The report of the admin istration of the first federal law shows l that state officials in states having 1 standards agreed to after public 1 hearings were recognized as adminis- trative officers. Miss Abbott now de- l clares that under both the first and | the second laws federal enforcing ] machinery was needed in only a | relatively few communities, and that | state child-labor officials very gen l erally testify that the federal act in- l creased the respect for the state laws.

Says Foreign Steamship Lines Have Failed to Prove Their Case Against Uncle Sam in Dry Fight.

Uncle Sam in Dry Fight.
 Washington, Dec. 30.-The federal government, in brief filed in the supreme court today, held that the appeals of the foreign steamship lines against the recent prohibition decision of Judge Hand at New York had failed to show that the United States had consented to be sued and that the cases could not therefore be prosecuted.
 The government also insisted that the court did not have Jurisdiction for the further reasons that the ap- peals "do not present a cause of ac- tion in equity under the constitution of the United States" and do not dis close a cause of action equitable in It's nature, civil in it's nature and aris- ing under the constitution of the United States.
 It was also declared in the brief that the facts alleged in the appeals are insufficient to constitute valid case of action in equity, and that the steamship companies have complete remedy at law which they should follow rather than the cause they have pursued.

Dry and Auto Law Violations.
 Chicago, Dec. 30.-The breaking of laws by so-called good citizens was denounced by Bishop Edwin H. Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal church. who spoke at a meeting in Evanston of leaders responsible for training more than 30,000 young ministers in the church course of study.
 There are so-called good citizens who break the prohibition laws" he said. "Yes, and there are good peo- pie who break the laws in automobile driving. They will watch their chances at street crossings, they will exceed the speed limit if they think no traffic cop is in sight.
 T believe that every good citizen ought to keep every law, whether he likes it or not. It is a deplorable situation when people, who profess to live according to the dictates of a good conscience, will think lightly of violating law. provided they can get away with it."

FRANCE CONVINCED
Officials Feel Certain That Germany Does Not Intend to Restore Finan- cial Stability.

Paris, Dec. 30. - (By Associated Press) s)-France has made an inten- sive study of the reparations question for four years and is convinced that Germany does not want to restore her financial stability if such a step means payment in full of a reasonable war indemnity. Such is the authori- tative, though unofficial comment on the speech of the American secretary of state at New Haven last night.
 Secretary Hughes assertions in re- gard to the failure of European statesmen regarding reparations pro- voked great interest in official quar- ters. The suggestions 1t contained were taken to be directed at France.
 The French position is that it is not the failure of the allies to reach an accord on the subject that is causing the present difficulties but Germany's policy of evasion and opposition to all the allied demands
