By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 8-Sharply denouncing an organization that is fight ing the child labor amendment on the spacious plea that it is seeking to pro- tect the nations homes and children, the National Education Association has de- c1ared that its 10000 members stand l solidly behind the amendment.
 The stand of the National Education | Association is reafirnation \of the position taken by the association at its l last meeting, when it unqualihedly sup ported the amendment, and the declara- ton was made in response to a tele- gram of inquiry from the Citizens Committee to Protect Our Homes and Children" This organization telegraphed the Education Association as follows:
 Your organization is quoted as sup porting the so-called child labor amend ment in a circular distributed by the Massachusetts committee, etc. You are respectfully requested to inform us if this is fact or not and if your organ ization has indorsed the amendment, to inform us by what authority such in- dorsement was given, and whether after poll of the membership had been taken. Citizens Committee to Protect Our Homes and Children"
 In replying to the telegram, J. W.. Crabtree, secretary of the Education As sociation, wrote:
 "The following is the action taken by the Representative Assembly of the Ma tional Education Association at the Washington meeting July 30, 1924:
 Believing in governmental respon- sibility, we indorsed in our last conven- ton an amendment to the Constitution empowering Congress to make laws re- garding child labor. We now advocate the prompt ratification by the states of the child labor amendment passed >by the present Congress and urge the mem- bers of this association to make every effort to obtain its ratification by the legislature of their respective states at the earliest possible date
 The Representative Assembly IS com posed of delegates elected by local and state affiliated associations. The resolu- ton was passed by a unanimous vote of the assembly. These delegates rep resented membership Nof 10000 the states being fully represented at the meeting. This action may be accepted as the combined judgment of the orga- nized teaching profession, and as taken wholly in the interest of the childhood of America
 Shame on any manufacturers asso- citation and shame on the so-called tCiti- zens Committee to Protect Our Homes and Children, that would hide behind the threadbare states rights scare to pre- vent children in shop districts from re- ceiving an adequate education and from getting the fair start in life to which Abraham Lincoln believed to be the in- herent right of every child
