The House judiciary committee. with Congressman 0Sullivan slgning the report, has reported to the House a proposed child labor amendment.
 In the report accompanying the bill are given some interesting sta tistics regarding the growth of child labor in Connecticut last year. Three cities are mentioned. New Haven, Waterbury, and Bridgeport. In Waterbury the increase in the number of children between fourteen and six teen years of age receiving regular employment certificates for the 1rst time was 139 per cent last year over 1922. In New Haven the increase was forty-four per cent and m Bridge port twenty-eight per cent. :.
 Although Connecticut members or Congress. including Representative Freeman, have favored enactment of a child labor amendment, passage of such a bill this session looks dubious.
 For one thing the Senate Judiciary committee, of which Senator Brande- gee is chairman, has not yet reported out such bill, although suo-eom- mittee has had the matter in hand practically since the opening or Con Rress. The committee got all ready to report out an amendment when various national organizations inter. ested in the subject jumped in and told the committee they did not like the wording of the proposed amend ment. So things are waiting now until the committee agrees on the exact wording, constantly q source of trouble in proposed child labor amend ments.
 In the second place, there will be opposition in Congress 10 the passage of an amendment Many southern senators will oppose fl because 1t is claimed it will enable northern tex tile mill the better to compete with southern mills, which now are un- hampered by strict child labor laws.
 Approves Moriarty Measure Senator Brandegee's bill. as stated in last weeks Patriot, advancing the rank on the retired list of Lieutenant Ambrose L Moriarty. formerly of Putnam, has passed the senate and IS now being considered by the military affairs committee of the House. The measure advances Moriarty from sec ond lieutenant to major. allowing him about S240 month.

Washington. D C.. April 8, 1924.
 Senator Brandegee. the last fort night. has been conspicuous in the Sen ate as leader in the fight to get adopted the resolution providing for the submission of all proposed consti- tntional amendments directly Co the people instead Of Do the state legisla- tures. Mr. Brandegee's judiciary committee considered and reported out the measure.
 In the course of the debate Mir Branaegee repeatedly affirmed his faith in the ability of the people them selves Co pass inteliigently on suggest ed constitutional changes. He gave it his belief that in the long run the peo- ple would prove more conservative m this matter than the state legislatures.
 He favored q proposal whereby pro posed amendments would hrst be pass I'd on by the state legislatures, whose action would not be binding, and then would come up before the people for the final verdict To the objection that the action of the state legisla- lures would be merely perfunctory and valueless. Senator Brandegee said he believed the opposite, that the action in the legislature. even though not binding. would prove educational and helpful to the citizens of the state.
 Although d majority in the Senate apparently favored the measure, they could not agree on what form 1t should be cast in and recommitted t Co NIT. Brandegee's committee. This action makes the success of the measure this season rather improbable.
 Postmsstership tn Doubt
 They are still guessing whether Ar thur r Connor will be the Bridgeport postmaster. The hearings before the Senate postafiice subcommittee con rInded. counsel for the two sides fur liner delayed matters by asking permis- ziee gat ta file their briefs until Tues day instead of last Tuesday Senator Moses. chairman of the committee, granted the delay
 At this writing both tax and bonus biIls are in the hands of the Senate h- nance committees The committee, with Senator Mclean voting with the ma jsrifV decided tn stand by the Mellon biIl instead of the measure that came over from the House. Undoubtedly, " the committee reports out the Mellon bill. it will be greatly changed on the Senate floor
 Ii is the belief of Senator Mclean fbat bsth the Mellon tax bill and the bonus hill that passed the House can be enacted into law without damaging inc nations finances.
