Child Labor and the u. S. Constitution

Congress on several occasions has
made the effort TO enact child labor
laws" johnson said. In each in
stance the laws passed have been
ruled unconstitutional. The latest
decision was that rendered May II

of Bailey versus the DreXel Furni-
ture company, which pronounced the
portion of the revenue act which at
tempted to regulate the employment or
children unconstitutional, because IT
conflicted with the tenth amendment.
apparently, the situation can be
met in no other way than by an
amendment to the Constitution. The
subject is of such Importance, the
object TO be attained is so funda-
mentally sound, that whatever is
necessary TO its consummatiOn should
be done. Because under the decisions
of the Supreme court we can only
regulate the employment of child la
Dor, apparently, by a constitutional
amendment,
The amendment, to become effec-
tive. would have to be passed by a
twO-thirds vote in both the house
and senate and then be ratified by
the legislatures Of three-fourths OF
