CHILD LABOR VOTE
DUE THIS EVENING
Senator Reed Brands Measure as
Definite Step Toward
Anarchy.

The Senate agreed today TO vote at
o'clock tonight on the child labor
constitutional amendment which al
ready has passed the House.
An original agreement to vote at
pm. was modified after Senator
Reed. Democrat, Missouri. had de-
manded more time for debate. assert
ing that the proposal was a step to-
wards anarchy"
The resolution would be voted for
"only by towards" Senator Reed de-
clared. Those who support 1t, he
added, consider only their own in
terests in playing to some bloc or
clique and fail absolutely to defend
the Constitution"
He argued, it not only would give
the government control over chill
dren. but also over the daily activi-
ties of that vast number between
childhood and manhood"
IF we pass this amendment. he
said, I'VE not only confer police
power on the government. held now
only by the states, but we give the
federal government power greater
than that ever conferred on any other
government"
A series of amendments was put
forward by opponents in a last-minute
attack. Senator Overman, Democrat,
North Carolina, proposed an amend
ment requiring submission of the
resolution. If passed by the Senate
to a direct vote of the people rather
than to the state legislatures. Sena-
tor Reed offered several changes, in
gliding one to lower the age limit from
eighteen to fourteen years.
Senator Oyerman assailed the res
olution as an attack on state rights
and unnecessary. He insisted the pro-
posal strikes at the very root of
home rule" Citing a list of state
laws now in force regulating child
labor, Senator Overman argued the
federal government would be going
out of its way to give itself the
power proposed by the amendment.
