 International Labor News Service Work Ahead for Organized Labor!

THE CHILD L A B O R AMENDMENT to the Constitu- tion has passed the Senate and the House by a two-thirds vote and it is now up to the States to make it the Nineteenth Amend 1nent. It requires the ratification of three-fourths of the States before it goes into effect.
 This is a great victory for or ganized labor, various woman's organizations and national wei fare. Two child labor laws en- acted by Congress and signed by Presidents have been declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court, body which is not elected by hte peo- pie If three-fourtlls of the States approve of the child la bor amendment 1t will overcome the autocracy that the Supreme Court has assumed in declaring acts of Congress unconstitution- al
 All labor organizations should at once get busy in the various states and get immediate action when the legislatures meet. It is also necessary at election time to demand that the candidates place themselves on record to vote for the child labor amendment. In

SHALL CHILDREN
 PLAY?
By JOSEPH LEE. President, Playground and Recreation Association of America

Association of America.
 More than 400 communities in the United States of 5000 population or above have neither playgrounds nor recreation leaders.
 When one considers this fact in terms of delinquency, i'll health and accidents to children at play, the pie ture is not pleasant one in spite of the remarkable progress made in pub lie recreation in the last 10 years Last year, according to the National Probation Association, two hundred | thousand children passed through the courts of the United States. The work of probation officers proved that the great majority of these children were not basical1y bad. What they needed was proper channel for their energies. Recreation of the right sort would have saved many.
 Sixty per cent. of our school chil- dren have physical defects which hin- der their school progress, according to competent judges. Last year 20,- 900 children were killed or injured in street accidents. Many were simply trying to play. In Illinois-to cite one state as an example-the records showed that a child was injured or killed every eight hours.
 The National Society Council ore diets that 1924 accidents will not be fewer than those in 1923 unless eff tective preventive means are employed. number of cities have greatly re- duced accidents to children through adequate provision of playgrounds and the benefits of wholesome outdoor play in child health are well known.
 A letter received from a small town III the Oklahoma oil fields is an ex- ample of the 10000 appeals, off help received by the Playground ana Recreation Association of America last year. The letter follows:
 "L--, Okla.
 March Is, 1923.
 Gentlemen: Please send me all the literature you have that you think will be of help to me to develop the fol- iOWliiS pldIl ours IS small town 1rl the heart of P- oil fields where people think only of oil and money and the children have no recreation, and 1t IS sad to see the crimes com mitted for lack of proper interests. I can get nice large lot closed in and plan to make 1t community play center with some one to direct the chlldren's play and fit it with play apparatus which the children can make and have something to interets all chil- dren between the ages of four. and 16 and also get the interest of the par ents aroused. I have never tried work of this sort but want to very much and would appreciate all suggestions and address of any one who could help"
 (There Is great work ahead for all friends of public play in helping cities without recreation totestablfsh 1t on thorough going basis under com petent leadership and in strengthening existing programs)

all cases where candidates refuse to pledge themselves organized labor should endorse candidates of its own.
 The fight for the child labor amendment Is not over and 1t will require considerable effort on the part of organized labor and other friends before 1t becomes the basic law of the land.
 The big interests which have been fighting the measure in Congress and who have won out in the courts in other child labor laws in the past, will fight more strenuously than ever the ratification of the child labor amendment in the state legisla- lures because they will be un- able to have the courts declare a part of the Constitution un- constitutional!
 It is a fight of the progressive forces of the entire country against the big manufacturing interests of the North and the South.
 Do not lay down now. Make it a fight to finish. States, as such, will not act on 1t unless you push them. So finish up the job!

IN URING THE past week
Montana's first printer, M
M. Manner, now a resident OF
Lebanon, Indiana, has been visiting
the scenes of his first labors in
the Fart preservative in this state.
Mr.. Manner, now 70 years of age,
but still active and mentally alert,
became a printer in 1856. He has
retired from the profession. While
in Helena, en- route to Virginia City
where he worked in 1864, he visit

Mr. Manner anticipated finding
a number of the pioneers with
whom he became acquainted in the
old mining camp in Madison coun-

printer in that locality, he said:

Gold Dust The Only Money.
Everybody carried their gold
dust in buckskin bags and when
they paid for anything it was al
ways weighed. Six and one-half
cents was the smallest amount that
could be weighed. Everybody kept
their greenbacks, and spent the
gold dust, while in the states it
was the reverse as gold was worth
81 or more.
The counters in the stores were
logs sawed through the center, with
the flat side up, holes bored in
the half log and stakes driven in
to hold it up.
Herds of Wild Game.
In those early days the journey
into the new country was a very
eventful one. Large herds of buff
falo were frequently seer and elk,
black bear, prairie dogs and rattle
snakes abounded. While on the
way up the river the boat was
landed to take on for fuel trees
that had been cut down by beavers
and to bury a mar who had died of
smallpox. Two soldiers went out
perhaps half a mile on the prairie
and shot the first buffalo killed
by our party and wounded another
that was preparing to attack us. :

Brought In With Ok Team.
1--WE bought the material and
outfit at St. Louis, Mo-, shipped it
on a steamboat called the Yellow
stone, and went up the Missouri
river, expecting to land at Fort
Benton. We got up the river about
80 miles below Fort Benton, where
the boat was unable to run over
the rapids, was caught by a swift
current of water, which carried it
down the river for quite a distance
landing on an island. In a few days
the water went down and the boat
was lying on the bottom helpless.
The freight was unloaded and
placed on the island; the printing
outfit was a part of the freight.
After the boat had laid there for a
week or ten days a quick and hard
rain fell, raising the river about
.hree feet in a short time. They
lurriedly got up stream and spar
ed the boat to deeper water. Wei
