CHILD LABOR BEFORE CONGRESS

<CtHIID labor IS a subject receiving the specal
" consideration Of Congress and submission of con-
stitutiona amendment seems certain The chief feature
OF discussion now progress the kind of amendment
that shall be submitted on this there are radically
differing views. A number OF amendments have been
proposed in each House.
Probably the most extreme view OF the proposal to
bestow power upon the TO control
child that offered by Senator Walsh, OF Mon
tana. a Democrat, whose amendment would give Con
ress power to prohibit transportation in interstate
commerce of the products OF any employer OF child
labor Since a child includes persons under twenty
one years Of age II the Walsh amendment adopted
Congress would legislation to bar
from all the products Of any en-
pIoyer who employed child under twenty-one years
II the child did work upon the particular COM
modify offered for shipment Under the broad OF
that amendment Congress could bar all the products OF
the factory from commere II the Ford establish
rnent Employed any capacity boy under twenty
One of the shortest amendments proposed is that by
Senator Townsend, OF Michigan. whose amendment
reads: 1.-THE Congress shall have 10 regulate the
employment and the hours OF labor and condition OF
employment OF persons under eighteen years OF age
It be that this amendment does not contain
the word prohibit" but merely regulate. and limits
the period of childhood to eighteen years OF age
Senator Mccormick OF Illinois has an amendment
which would give Congress the either to regu-
late or to prohibit the labor under the age
the power regulate prohibit extent not al
ready done by Congress.
Senator Lodge has proposed amendment bestow-
ms upon Congress power prohibit regulate the
hours Of labor IN mines qusrries mills, canneries,
workshops factories manufacturing establishments
OF persons eighteen years OF and OF women
The principal feature this amendment is that It
grants power prohibit the labor of women regard
less OF aga and does not apply to farm labor.
The above amendments fairly typical OF the vari
proposals. Discussion will undoubtedly be centered
upon the features OF amendments thus indicated.
In this connection interesting note that in the
campaign 1929 the Republican platform pledged the
party to enable Congress prevent the
evils labor" The Democratic party declared
favor OF prohibition child labor It may fairly be
assumed, therefore, that in the fight which is now
pending will line up in favor OF prohibition
Of child labor entirely. while Republicans will center
their efforts upon elimination of the evils OF child
labor" The Democrats look upon child labor an
sv1--the Republicans deem child labor proper.
but propose eradicate its abuses.
OF the early developments in the discussion has
been manifest opposition national legislation that
will prevent children from engaging in such work as
berry-picldng other work vacation periods
This attitude OF is by a recently
nounced upon child labor upon farms. the view
being that work farms is great evil work
in factories since It interferes with attendance

Sky-Writinq


The latest form Of advertising, sky
writing, which has been providing
entertainment for communities along
the Pacific Coast the past several
weeks, seems to be a permanent in
novation, and it may be interesting
to note that those concerns using
this form of publicity are we'll pleased
with results. The English Sky-pilot
who has been performing the writing
in question first received contract
for $50 showings of cigarette adver-
tisements. The first few demon
strations created so much interest in
New York City and it's environs that
the tobacco company decided to con-
duct two test sales campaigns in an
effort to ascertain whether the adver-
Using really was helping sales or
not.
Results showed that the writing in
the sky was having such an appre-
ciable effect on sales that they en-
tered into a contract for LOO addi-
tional flights. The Sky-Writing Cor
pora ton of America now has about
ten pilots and machines working on
this contract throughout the United
States.

Late Emerson Hough Called

The late Emerson Hough might
we'll be called "The Apostle of the
Southwest, for to him, more than
to any other man, is due the fact
that we have authentic pictures Of
its development. Too often have

authors without real knowledge OF
their people or conditions. And
thus has grown up lurid litera-

which move fabulous heroes and
villains blacker than the night.
But Hough lived amid the con-
ditions he describes. At the age
of twenty-three he was practising
law in the busting, little cow town
of White Oaks, New Mexico He
knew the pioneers, the despera-
does and bad men of the early
Southwest. In his new book,

A BEAR STORY

Lately, the west side of White
River Valley has had the real ex-
element of a bear chase. A hungry
black bear came out of the woods
to visit the farms, evidently in
search of foods which he would pre-
fer to the berries, with which he had
been surfeited. The farm of Guy
Caybles was the first one to interest
him. 1t was bright moonlight
night, and when Mr.. Caybles saw
the bear, he rushed for his rifle,
shot at the bear, just grazing his
shoulder. The bear hurriedly left,
and Mr.. Caybles, discovering he had
no more cartridges hurried to the
house for more. His family accom-
panied him to take up the chase
the neighbors likewise. They pursued
the disabled bear, and catching up
with their quarry, the men were
surprised that it did not turn on
them. He was a good-natured bear,
until Mr.. Caybles dealt him a blow
with the stock of his gun; then the
bear turned, under protest, so Mr..
Caybles hurriedly despatch his an
tagonist. Bear steaks were served
quite generally for few days in
that vicinity.
