The Child Labor Amendment

The majority vote OF 100000 re-
turned by Massachusetts against the
proposed twentieth amendment to the
Constitution OF the United States is
doubly important because Massachu-
sets originally petitioned Congress to
submit this amendment 10 the United
States.
The bare proposition that children
should be protected against the greed
OF employers looking for cheap help
is sure TO awaken the sympathy and
support of all right-thinking people.
Disturbing tales about children work
ing in factories have prompted wei
fare workers. social agencies, and big
hearted people who love their fellow
man to rally to the support of meas
ures that hold out the promise OF
helping the children OF the nation
Many people are puzzled because
Massachusetts,. after having debated
and considered this suggested change
in the Constitution, should have re-
jected it. These same people know
that even though Massachusetts, is
manufacturing State, it is more than
that, because its electorate is intelli
gent, its interests as unselfish as any
other section of the country. The
judgment OF its electorate is not us
ually pronounced without proper con-
sideration by the people of the Com
monwealth.

Russian Cathedral,
WorshiPers Gone,

BY the Associated Press.
LENINGRAD. July 3.-Church
attendance in bolshevik Russia has
decreased to such an extent that
many churches are on the point
of closing their doors. Contribu-
tions from the congregations are
so meager that they scarcely main
tain the churches and pay the
slender salaries of the clergymen.
.-s As a result the governing body
of st. lsaac's Cathedral has de-
cided to convert the superb edifice,
erected at cost exceeding s11 900
600. into a museum and charge ad-
mission.
Tourists for years have been
impressed by the cathedrars col
umns of red granite, golden dome,
doors of solid bronze, pillars of
lapis lazula and malachite, rich
sculptures in striking bronze re-
lief. magnificent paintings and
mosaics, priceless ikons and huge
ecclesiastical vessels of gold and

RETIREMENT FUND
PAYMENTS co UP
Federal Employees Must Part
With 2 IL Per Cent on
Entire Salaries.

| Between two and three millions of
dollars more will be credited to the
federal employees retirement fund
| this year than last year, but the sums
to be taken from each government
employees salary during the current
fiscal year which began last Tues
day, July l. will be greater this year
than in any year since the retire.
| ment fund has been in operation and
| the net results for the present fiscal
year and for succeeding years will be
a great increase in the amounts paid
| into the retirement fund.
Due to Bonus Loss.
This increase in the fund and the
increased amounts deducted from
each government employees salary
comes about, it was explained at the
Interior Department today, by reason
of the effectiveness of the reclassi-
fication act, which on July 1 absorbed
the $40 bonus paid to federal en-
ployes with salaries of s2,500 a year
| or less.
There is no more bonus, and, there
fore, the 21z per cent deducted an
nuaIy from each employees salary
will be computed against the entire
| pay, instead of as heretofore against
the base pay, which did not include
the bonus.
In past years an employe receiving
$l,200 year, plus the bonus with an
annual total pay rate of $1,440, paid
2h per cent into the retirement fund
only on the base pay of $1,000 The
bonus did not figure in the retire.
| ment fund at all Now it has been
absorbed and it's absorption into the
So-called base pay will bring in sew
eral millions of dollars additional to
the retirement fund besides taking a
generous slice out of each employees
salary above the sum he has paid
| into the fund in the past.
Increase Of Millions.
Officials Of the division of book
keeping and warrants, in charge of
handling the retirement fund in the
Treasury Department, today esti-
mated the income from government
| salaries for the retirement fund at
$17.000,000 for the current fiscal year
For the fiscal year ended June 80
last it was between $14,ooo.000 and
$15,o0o,o00, so the fund is expected
to show an increase of between two
and three million dollars this year.
In most cases the shock will be
easier, however, than it would have
been in former years. for most govern
ment employees have benefited by
salary increases dnder reclassifca-

The Ralston movement made but a
small dent in the deadlock on the
fftieth ballot, and again on the fifty

delegations held steady.
But it was apparent there was in

whether the convention only was

TENSE DELEGATES
HOLD FIRM FRONT
Settle Down to Bitter-End
Voting as McAdoo Stalls
on Early Ballots.
BY n. o. MESSENGER.
STAFF Correspondent of The SAAr.

NEW YORK, July 3.-An air of
tenseness pervaded the delegates
when the convention opened today, a
tensenesS more marked than at any
previous session. 1t was realized
that they were at the beginning of
what might prove a crucial day; that
if McAdoo should hold the gains he
made yesterday and last night he
might attain such headway that the
opposition could not stop him and he
might "go over" the two-thirds line
with a rush. The McAdoo people
were counting heavily on the band
wagon spirit to push him along. But
the landslide did not develop on the
early ballots.
Concerned but not dismayed by the
gains made by McAdoo, the opposi-
tion still maintained stout front.
Smith, Taggart and Brennan all made
statements disparaging the McAdoo
progress and declaring that he had
shot his bolt. The McAdoo managers
for their part insisted that the land,
and will move slowly. perhaps, but
irresistibly.
Divide on Prophecies.
The opposition, while agreed in their
assertions that McAdoo cannot get the
nomina tion, were at variance. as to who
will get it. Brennan stoutly insisted
that it will 60 to Gov. Smith, as he is
the only man who could carry New

strategy through all the voting has
been not to urge his candidate too
strongly, but to have him wait until
the collapse Of McAdoo, should 1t oc-
