ference on the subjec. by Samuel
Gompers. president OF the American
Federation OF Labor. The meeting
followed the reccn; decision OF the
United States supreme court holding
that special excise taxes on the
product OF minor labor were invalid.
Spokesman for the new organiza-

committee to urge legislation pro-
hibiting or regulating employment OF
children in mines, factories and simi-
lar arduous occupations. Represent

York, said il was the opinion OF him
self and other members Of the COM
mittee that the supreme courts rul-
ing had made it Impossible to ac-
complish anything by legislative reg
ulation unless and until constitu-
tional amendment had been adopted.
Gompers Named Chairman.
The organization formed to insti-
tute campaign for such an amend.
ment will be known. as THE Per-
manent Conference for the Abolition
OF Child Labor" Mr.. Gompers ac-
cepted the post OF permanent chair
man.
A committee Of 10 was appointed
to draft a constitutional amendment
and the best form of law to meet the
situation. This committee will re-
port to the conference at a later
meeting. when action on its recon-
mendations will be taken. The con-
ference adopted a repluticn. intro
duced by President Gompers which
declared that the Conference ex.
presses itself deterininedly organized
to abolish child labor for profit
throughout the United States, its
possessions and territories"
In addressing the conference and
commenting on the hearing on child
labor before the house judiciary COM
m;ttee, Mr. Gompers said that IF
the. attitude of the committee is
guide to congressional sentiment. we
have a fight aon four hands, strange
and mid-victorian as that may
SEEM"
Raps Congress.
He said congressman were en-
crossed III matters they deemed OF
more consequence in "the stern busi-
ness Of getting reelected"
1T is amazing and astounding
that it should be necessary to ask
congress 10 protect childhood" he
said. Congress ought to be eager
to perform this duty. Expressions
from committee members this morn-
ing. however. indicated much more
desire to find way out than to
find a way through to success. But
congress will get no rest. The is
sue is before the country. We are
prepared to fight the issue through
to conclusion that shall be final and
that shall at last bring freedom to
American childhood"
