 Against Child Labor
 The "good news" of the fortnight is good enough to be mentioned once more in this issue, in addition to, its two other appearances in connection with its announcement at the League of Women Voters convention in Buffalo.
 It is the passage by the House of the child labor amendment to the Consti- tution-by vote of 297 to 69, or B more than the necessary two-thirds. Efforts were made to weaken the meas particularly to reduce the age from IS to 16, but as passed the bill Awhose author is Representative Eos ter of Ohio) is in the form indorsed by the women's organizations of the joint congressional committee and provides that Congress shall have power to limit, regulate, or prohibit, the labor of per- sons under IS years of age-whieh does not necessarily mean, of course, prohibit tlon in all cases. The amendment, if passed, will be an enabling act, not a statute, and will have to be followed by legislation.
