 Congress passed an amendment to the federal compensation law for civil ian employees of the government mak ing clear that the original act meant to include disabilities due to occupational diseases, thus putting an end to the ar bitrary refusal of the comptroller gen. eral to pay awards duly made for occu- pational diseases by the administrative
 commission"
 Court decisions in 1924, according to the Associations statement, have proved a setback to protective labor legislation although in two important instances they were favorable.
 Decisions cited as favorable are those of the United States Supreme Court upholding New York law prohibiting night work for women in restaurants, and sustaining New York law requir- ing that under the workmen's compen- ation act the insurance carrier must pay 1000 into special state fund when a workman is killed who leaves no de- pendents to receive acident compensa- ton, one half of which goes toward the rehabilitation of industrial cirplles and half toward paying additional compen- sation to workers who have been totally disabled for life as result of second injury.
 Listed as unfavorable are the divided opinion of the United States Supreme Court finally blocking all efforts to pro- vide accident compensation for long ,hpremen and other local harbor work CTS under state laws; the decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Court null lifying the provision of the minimum

l the rule governing computation o1 wages of the trainmen and conductors The patience of the employees in engine service finally having become worn to frazzle, a strike vote was ordered, which resulted in an over whelming majority in favor of a strike Representatives of the men again presented their demands to the management of the Chicago & Alton, which the result that five per cent in crease in wages was granted and with no changes in working rules.
 This is regarded as big and sig nihcant victory for the employees in that there was no change in the rules and that the result was brought about without the intervention of the Rail road Labor Board. The C. & A. was not a party to the plea of Western roads before the board which resulted in the recent decision allowing a five pere cent increase in wages, but mak- ing changes in the rules which more than offset the increase.
 Both the management of the Chi cago & Alton and its employees in en- zine service are satisfied over the out come of the negotiations, which as- sures amicable relations or the future. On the other hand, there is discontent on other Western roads as

 An investigation of the relation of posture to physical fitness was con 'ducted in cooperation with the public schools of Chelsea, Mass, and the Boston Community Health Service. Approximately 1000 children have had orthopedic examinations and taken special postural exercises regularly. It is hoped that exercises may be devised which can be so directed by teachers that good posture training will be avail able for all children.
 Standards of administration of Mothers pension" laws, with special reference to housing, health, education and recreation, have been studied in counties in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Washington, California, and Manitoba, Canada. The importance of this move ment to keep mothers and children to- gether and to prevent the breakup of homes is indicated, Miss Abbott points out by the fact that 42 states have such laws, and that approximately 130,000 children are receiving aid, and about 43,O0O families being kept to- gether.

 to carry on negotiations with the

 Both the railroad management ana

 held elections on the system, and the bona tlde union mon each battle, off
 cers of the O. R. TT. having ordered their members to go in and vote in the company election.
 | Even then the company manage ment was not satisfied and refused to do business. Following this the Rail- road Labor Board took hand, order ing the company and the union to sup ply the board with the names and ad- dresses of the telegraphers on the system, so that the board might be enabled to take a secret ballot. The railroad management declined to fur nish any names and addresses, but the O. R. T. complied, with the result of winning once more.
 Further developments in this con- troversy will be watched with interest, If the ruling of Ben w. Hooper, chair man of the Railroad Labor Board, and James H. Wilkerson, Chicago's Fed eral labor injunction judge, are cor rect in the matter of the refusal of the employees in the engine service on western roads to recognize the author- ity of the board, then the management of the Pennsylvania Railroad also must be in contempt.
 The point of interest here i'll Chi cago is as to what disciplinary meas ures Hooper and Wilkerson will take against the powerful Pennsylvania Railroad magnates. Of course, it is not anticipated that they can or will do anything effective.
 This is not the first time that the Pennsylvania Railroad has fouted the authorit yof the labor, board As a matter of fact, this company has been its fingers at Hooper and his board ever since the transportation act of 1920 0was enacted, and it has been getting away with it.

a result of the unsatisfactory decision recently handed down by the Railroad Labor Board. The engineers and fire men have contended right along that they could negotiate satisfactorily with the Western railroads if the Rail- road Labor Board would keep its hands off. The settlement and the previous settlement with the New York Central and other Eastern and Southeastern roads goes far to prove that this contention is well founded.
 The negotiations on the employees side were conducted by A. O.. Smith, assistant grand chief of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, and Samuel A. Boone, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Enginemen.

 Many phases of child welfare and practically every state in the Union were touched during the course of the years work by the Childrens' Bureau, Miss Abbott's report shows.

Farmers Kept Out of City Jobs by
 Child ToiIers
By International Labor News Service.

By 1ntefuatfonA Aa0of NeWS SefVIce
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 27.-"Shal
 children keep bankrupt farmers out ol
 city jobs?" asks the Farmers National Council, which declares that 1t Is un- fortunate that some farm organiza-
 tions have been trapped or jockeyeds' ! into opposing the Chlld Labor Amend
 ment.
 The National Councils statement,
 issued by Benjamon C. Marsh, man
 aging director, indicaes that the farm
 CTS are beginning to realize that they
 have been duped by the foes of the
 Child Labor Amendment, who have
 been assiduously spreading the lie that
 the amendment will prohhibit children
 from helping their parents on the farm. The statement says:
 "In 1922 about 100000 of the farm population were frozen of the farms, and nearly the same number in 1923. Thi srepresents at, least between six and seven hundred thousand able bodied adult males. Thesagricultural revolution is going on rapidly with 100000 tractors in use on American farms and with the rapid increase in the use of electric power on farms. Fo ra few years at least there will un- questionably be decreased demand for man power on the farms.
 Tn 1920 there were over 413,OO0 chill dren between 10 and 16 years of age engaged in non-agricultural pursuits, and GAY 900 children between these ages working on the farms. As long as the employers of labor can legally hire children at scandalously low wages to do the work for which they would be compelled to hire adults at fair wages, if they could not exploit children, evicted farmers will swell the bread lines in American cities.
 Many farm organizations are op- posing any change in the immigration restriction laws. Those who do this are thoroughly illogical to oppose the Child Labor Amendment, which would merely empower the Federal Govern ment to limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor of persons under 18 years of age.' Nearly every opponent of this knows that congressman would not vote for law prohibiting or even regulating the fair activities of i laborers under 18 years of age on farms because most of them. would be de- I feated for reelection if they did. Each | state now has the power to prohibit l child labor on farms but no state has l done so.
 "The National Manufacturers Association and other exploiters> of la bor and farmers are opposing the Child | Labor Amendment It is unfortunate | that some farm organizations have been trapped or jockeyed into oppos- ing this measure which is merely per missive and not mandatory. Wages of children in labor are not sufficient to buy many farm products and there are never jobs enough to keep the able bodied adults busy, while children slave | at pittance.'
