WASHINGTON, May 3.2The
Cuban government has asked the
United States to sell large guam

ing revolutionary disturbances in
island, it was learned at the State
Department today.
Though the amount the Cuban
government has asked for was not
revealed, it was indicated that it is
prepared to spend about 100000.
Secretary of State Hughes has turn
ed over the Cuba request to Secre-
tary of War Weeks to learn if it
can be met.
Weeks will take no action until
Monday.
In making public the Cuban re-
quest State department officials
expressed full confidence that the

tition of the kind, either benevolent,
religious or social. It's road has been
rocky one, but it has grown all the
stronger and healthier for the knocks
it has received. In it's earlier days,
derided by the press and pulpit, per-
secuted by monopoly, laughed at by
politicians and buffeted now by pam
icky gales or bayoneted again by
militia, our union has marched serene
ly on, bringing down it's tormentors,
making supplicants of it's enemies. In
the past decade, thanks to the veter-
ans who have gone on before, unwrit-
ten and unsung, our union has seen
a mighty change. The columns of the

checks strikes and lockouts from the

ternity, socialibility; it fosters tenn
perance and liberality. Above all, it
is an educa ational force. Our union is
out on sectionalism; it is the embodi-
ment of democracy; it knows no creed,
rank or title. 1t SCOTS at the cheap
snobbery of wealth and rejects it's
charity; for the self-styled "sets" and

We glory in its achievements and we
love it's principles.

NOW THE STATES
MUST ACT!

The question of whether child labor
is to be abolished in the United
States has been decided in the affirm
ative by congress so far as congress
now has the power to make that de-
cision. The constitutional amendment
has been passed by both houses and
now goes to the states for ratifica-
ton. If three-fourths of the states
approve the amendment it will be-
come part of the constitution. 1t
will then be within the power of con-
gress to enact Legislation limiting,
or forbidding, the employment of
children under eighteen years of age.
There has been much misrepresen-
tation of the proposed amendment in
connection with it's provision for reg
ulating and prohibiting the labor of
persons under Is years of age The
language of the proposed amendment
is as follows:
Section 1. The congress shall have
power to limit, regulate and prohibit
the labor of persons under eighteen
years of age.
Section 2. The power of the several
states is unimpaired by this article
except that the operation of state laws
shall be suspended to the extent nee
essary to give effect to legislation
enacted by the congress.
1t has been stated by opponents
that the labor of persons under 18
years of age would be prohibited by
the adoption and ratification of the
amendment. That is, of course, not
the case. Congress will have power
to limit, regulate and prohibit" and

prove their standards prior to the
enactment of federal legislation.
Those members of the house and
senate who voted for this amendment
are to be commended for their con-
duct. 1t is true that they did no more
than their duty, but great many
congresses have failed to do even
that much. OF course, there were
those who opposed the amendment
bitterly In the senate there were %
who voted against it, while in the
house there were SO.
In the senate there were 60 who
voted for it, while in the house there
were 297.
The legislatures of SO states ap-
prove the amendment before its sue
cess is finally assured. To this end
it is necessary that the trade unions
throughout the country Immediately
begin agitating in favor of the amend
ment in the various states. This
question should have an important
bearing on the candidacy of those who
seek election or reelection as mem
bers of state legislatures everywhere.
No candidate who opposes the
amendment can be accepted as salts
factory.
The victory that has been so strik-
ingly won in congress is victory for
the trade union movement. The
trade union movement must head the
procession that carries the banner the
balance of the way to victory.
There could be no time more fitting
at which to recall the continued lead
ership of the labor movement in this
great struggle-a leadership stamp
ed in the records of the movement
and in the hearts of the millions of
men and women within its ranks.
Let every American and particu-
larly every American trade unionist
join vigorously and enthusiastically in
the final effort to secure ratification
of the amendment in behalf of Amer
lean childhood. From the American
Federationist for July.

it is not to be expected that there
will be complete prohibition of child
labor up to the age Of 18 years.
Congress, under the terms of the
amendment, may prohibit child labor
under an act which congress may de-
termine, and it may then regulate
the conditions under which children
over the prohibited age and under 18
may be permitted to work. For ex-
ample, it will be possible for con-
gress. to prohibit the labor of chill
dren under 16 years of age and to
regulate or limit the labor of those
between 16 and 18. 1t was for that
reason that 18 years was fixed in the
proposed amendment instead of 16
years. The proposed amendment is
not legislative enactment and can
have no effect except to empower
congress to enact legislation.
Furthermore, federal legislation
enacted under the terms of the
terms of the amendment will have
effect only in states where state legis-
lation falls below the standards fix
ed by such measures as congress may
enact after the ratification of the
amendment. In other words, con-
gress will have the power to act if
the states refuse to act. 1t is en-
tirely possible that the adoption of
the amendment by congress and the
prospect of its ratification by the
states will encourage states to enact
Legislation adequate for the protection
of the child workers within their
boundaries
1t is expected that state pride will
lead many states to adopt standards
as generous as may be fixed by con-
gress in order that federal legisla-
tion may not apply within those
states. States that now have made
quate standards may be lead to i'm

deep in ash. The ashy blanket trans

days into a gray desert of sand, but
after a period of two years, the ash
laden hillsideS were again covered
with verdure finer than ever before.
In the words of a resident of Kodiak,
Never was such grass known be-
fore, so high or so early. No one
ever believed the country could grow
so many berries, nor so large, before

The island owes it's climate, as does
Ireland, to the tropical ocean current
which bathes its shores. The eastern
half of the island is occupied by a
forest of spruce, whose trees reach
grass land, equal to any grazing land
in the United States, and finding a
parallel only in the guinea grass" of
the tropics.
