The house resumed consideration
of the McNary-Haugen bill with it's
supporters somewhat at sea as to

to be marked differences of opinion
as to what sort of a compromise
should be offered, while others con-
tended that rejection of the McNary-
Haugen proposal would show the
futility of attempting to get efrec-

Editors Note-This interesting de-
duction of the kind of person who
killed Robert Franks was received by
The Tribune this morning. 1t was
written before young Leopold, said
to have confessed the crime was sus-
pected. A large part of it, it is in
dicated by wire reports of the confes-

cal construction of the type who
killed the boy.

would be, she must at once know all
of the truth that was to be known.

THEY SHOULD NOT PREVAIL

One may understand why certain
interests in the South and in those
localities In the country where
child labor is q considerable factor
in production oppose the child labor
law.
One also may understand a grow
ing conviction throughout the
country that Government should not
be permitted freely to interfere with
the rights Of the states. an instance
OF which would be the child labor
law.
What Is difiicult to understand,
however. Is why the latter class Of
opinion cannot takesa broad view Of
this child employment situation and
recognize the fact that 1t essen
tally is national problem which
may be solved only under national
supervision, that 1t 10 problem
crying aloud for solution in some
parts OF the country.
In this view of the situation Il Is
difficult to ind excuse for those
opposing on general principles too
great federal interference with state
affairs lending their support in this
instance to those who would exploit
the labor OF children. They are
either theorists or worse.

members of the Women's Democratic
Club in this city. He tells them he is
fully aware that the Democratic
platform has declared for law OBJ

Democratic candidate for Governor,

The only apprehension apparently
left to the ladies is where would lie
the path of duty for their feet in the
event that Governor Smith Of New
York or some other candidate repre-
senting the "wet" interests should
capture the Democratic presidential
nomination.
This, however. isn't menacing as
yet, but In case it did happen. we
