CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT

Friends of the federal child labor
amendment should not forget that
congress passed a child labor law in
1916 and a child labor law in 1919. In
the things that are now predicted by
opponents of the amendment.
The 1916 law prohibited child lab
or under fourteen in shops and fac
tories, and under sixteen in mines. To
make that law effective it was pro-
vided that the products of concerns
violating the law shall be debarred
from interstate commerce. The Unit
ed States supreme court held the law
illegal.
In 1919 congress passed the same
law, with the exception that it pro-
vided that where concerns violated
the act, it must pay 10 per cent of
its profits into the United States
treasury.
The supreme court set this law
aside, though it had made contrary
rulings in the state bank case and the
oleomargarine case.
In both 1916 and 1919 congress be-
lieved it had the constitutional power
to pass these acts.
The proposed amendment would

THE NEW HOUSE

Compilations of the strength of the
several party groups in the new con-
gress indicate that the regular Re
publicans will have 235, the La Fol
iette Republicans 13, Farmer-Labor 8,
Socialists /, and Democrats 1873.
That means that the administration
will apparently command 235 votes
against a combined opposition of 200.
In this calculation Keller of Min
nesota, Sinclair of North Dakota and
LaGuardia of N. Y, are listed with
the 10 Wisconsin Republicans as sup,
porting La Toilette. Carss, Wetald
and Kvale of Minnesota are the Far,
mer-Labor delegation. Woodruff and
James of Michigan, knutson OF MIN
nesota. Reed of Illinois and others
who have at times voted with this
group are counted as followers of the
administration until they give proof
to the contrary.

LABOR'S CASE IN COURT

Under this heading the Rev. DR..
John A. Ryan, well-known advocate
of labor's rights, contributes an ar
ticle to the current number of Go
umbia," in which he contends that
the only way to make the legal stat
us of labor conform with the prin-
ciples of justice is to deprive the
courts of the power to issue injunc-
tions in labor disputes.
Enumerating the familiar injustices
from which labor suffers in conse-
uuence of such injunctions DR.. Ryan
adds:
'The average person of the middle
class is totally ignorant of this. sit
uation. When he hears of an injunc-
tion being issued to prevent picketing
by strikers, or a boycott, OF a certain
kind of strike, he is likely to assume
that this action is taken because the
workers have violated or are threat
ening to violate 'the law" In truth
there is no law involved. All that is
involved is a general principle Of fair
ness about which honest men, includ-
ing judges, may disagree. When the
courts issue writs of injunction based
upon their Interpretation of such
principles, IHcy USCOIue NIIludlly law
makers. Their orders constitute moth
ing more or less than judge-made
laws. This is not the proper province
of the courts"
Making the point that it is outside
the province of the courts to make
new laws but that it is their duty to
interpret the law as passed by legis-
latures, DR.. Ryan concludes:
$50 far as this particular griev-
ance is concerned, the simple, logical
and adequate remedy would be to de-
prive the courts of the power to issue
injunctions in labor disputes. Con-
gress should enact such a law gov
erning the federal courts and the
for the courts under their several
state legislatures should do likewise
jurisdictions. To put it in another
way, the essential provision of the
British Trades Disputes Act of 1906
should become the law in the United
States. If it be objected that to abol-
ish the power of issuing injunctions
would make possible the perpetration
of actions which ought to be prohib-
tied, for example the secondary boy
colt, and certain varieties of the
sympathetic strike, the reply is that
these actions should be prohibited by
acts of the legislature"

make it impossible for the court to
duplicate its performances. 1t would
give congress the power that it be-
lieved it possessed on two former oc-
casions.
What congress has done in the past
is the best indication of what it will
do in the future. The history of con-
gress shows that that body, together
with the chief executive, do not go
beyond sound public opinion.
To create contrary belief is to
reject the principle of popular gov
ernment.
The forces that oppose the federal
child labor amendment are using the
same argument, word for word, that
they always use when social legisla-
tion is proposed.
Disregard facts and terrorize the
people, is reactions historic policy

WHAT WILL BORAH Do?

Borah is about to realize one of
his ambitions. With the passing OF
Lodge, the Idaho Senator will become
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Affairs.
He would prefer this position to
any place within the gift of the peo-
pie, always excepting the Presi-
dency. Borah would outlaw war, but
he is opposed to the League of Ma
tions.
AS chairman of this committee, he
is in a position to make a real con-
tribution to the cause of international
peace. Let us hope he will prove
equal to the opportunity offered.

UN-TAXING PRIVATE
INCOMES

Deadlock on tax shifting legisla-
tion proposed by Secretary Mellon is
assured for the winter session of
congress. After March the admin
istration will decide whether special
session Of the new congress, to carry
out the Mellon scheme Of un-taxing
the biggest private incomes, shall be
called.
Western politicians are advising
the white house that no such scheme
can be put through the new congress,
and that Coolidge should disavow
any intention to call congress in
special session next spring or sum-
mer. He lacks the votes in the SEN
ate.

TWO WOMEN GOVERNORS

Two women governors, the first in

wife of former Governor Ferguson.

(By PETER KEEGAN)

WASHINGTON begins to fill up in
W anticipation of the opening of
Congress on December 1. The Sen
ators and Representative themselves
are always a little behind, but the
lobbyists and the other semi-official
hangers on have lost no time in gain
ing vantage points for the seige with
this Iame duck" legislature. There
will be some new faces in the Senate,
notably in that seat which was once
occupied by Daniel Webster and more
recently by Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts. William M. Butler,
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee and President Coolidge's
campaign manager, has been appoint
ed to occupy Lodges seat until the
Congressional election two years
hence.

[ TUN IKOVEK0IES are flaming up
here and there in the Capital
over the influx of negroes into white
neighborhoods. In some parts Of the
city, the whites have attempted to
exclude the negroes, but the latter
have set up the contention that there
is no legal right to segregate them.
1t is true that the Supreme Court of
the United States has rendered an
opinion which apparently takes that
position, but another test case is
looked for. The problem is acute
here in Washington, where the popu-
lation is about, equally divided be-
tween whites and blacks.

REPORTS out of Washington that
President Coolidge will have two
vacancies to fill on the Supreme
Court are based on the assumption, it
developes, that neither Associate JUS
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes nor Asso
ciate Justice Joseph McKenna will
survive during the coming four years.
Holmes is 83 years old and McKenna
is 81, but neither has any intention of
resigning. They want to die in har-
ness.

. AS far as the government is con-
cerned, there will be no effort at
further tax revision in the short ses-
sion of Congress. President Coolidge
and Secretary Mellon have agreed
that it would be fruitless to ask this
Congress to put through a tax plan
which it has already turned down.
The Administrations great desire for
additional tax reduction may result
in a special session of Congress after
