FIGHT FOR THE CHILDREN

The big manufacturing interests
are preparing to make a concerted
drive on the state legislatures to pre-
vent ratification of the child labor
amendment to the federal Constitu-
ton passed by Congress.
Friends of this humane legislation
should not permit themselves to be
lulled into a belief that the amend
ment is safe The fight has only been
fairly opened. The enemy never
sleeps.
Forty-two state legislatures meet
during the coming winter and spring,
and the proposed amendment will
come before all of them. Thirty-siX
or three-fourths of the forty-eight
states, must ratify to make the
amendment effective.
State federations of labor, central
labor bodies, legislative committees
of the railroad labor organizations,
women's auXiliaries, societies and
clubs, and individuals should get busy
at once in every state and inaugurate
an aggressive campaign with not let
up until the amendment has been rat
flied by their respective legislatures.
The eXploiters of child labor will
make their stiffest drive against the
amendment in the states of New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio,
Texas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Cal
ifornia, Missouri, New Jersey, Indi-
ana and Georgia.
The fight can be won if the friends
of the children assert their unceasing
power upon members of the several
state legislatures, and begin now.

alton, the company, with a 10.
cent fare, could have in operation
