CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT and OTHER
PROPOSED LECISLA ton IS DISCUSSED
AT MEETING ASSOCIATED CHARITIES

the child and the effect on the home.
Today between IS and 40 millions OF
our population are under is years OF
age and so would be affected by this
amendment.
by this, Congress would be given
charge Of the educational and health
fields pertaining to this group OF
population. There are many who be-
lieve. and the speaker cited some OF
the history Of legislation warranting
such opinion. that the right to con-
troll or prohibit, which the amend
ment would give to Congress, would
likewise carry with 1t the implied
right to permit under certain condi-
tions.
He alluded to the previous atti-
tude of the Associated Industries
thas endorsed the Lodge bill which
would give the Federal Government
power to regulate the hours Of labor
of women, also of children up to IL
years of age. The present measure
fixing u limit of eighteen years and
not regulating the labor of women,
it is opposed to.
We are told of deplorable condi-
lions. When we of New England are
told it is about some far away place,
the South or the Pacifs Coast. And
those places are told of terrible con-
ditions here in New England. These
conditions they describe are always
some distance from those who are
being told of them.
He referred to the statistics shown
from the census of 1920. that there
were then 100000 children between
the ages of 10-and 16 years gainfully
employed In this country. About l
in II. About 615,000 of these were
employed on farm under their par
cnts' control. or the remaining num-
Der he estimated around $4,000 of
the ages of ID ard 10. About co.
oOO he estimated to be the number
that in the true sense of the term
were gainfully employed as children.
hardly enough to warrant such
drastic regulation affecting them all.
He read the list of amendments
when the bill passed Congress that
were voted down, as showing that
the Congress which passed that
measure had the purpose to exercise
the full authority conferred thereby.
The next Congress might not do this
but sooner or later that authority
would be exercised. otherwise why
were all these amendments voted
down?
Today every state in the Union has
foirly good laws regulating the en-
ployment of minors up to II years.
or age. No state attempts to go be-
ynd IT. years in the way of regula-
tons: Congress would go to eighteen
years. This State il that passes
should change its school law limit
from Ii to Is years: otherwise the
parent might not say to the youth of
10. who might wish to leave school.
that he must go to work. The youtl,
would reply: THE Federal low does

Postpone Hearing
Seeking Mandamus
Against p. u. Comm

BY agreement between counsel rep
resenting the Maine Public Utilities
Commission. the Maine Central Rail-
road Company and the Portland Termi-
nal Company, and with the consent of
Chief Justice Leslie c. Cornish, a hear
ing" upon the application of the rail-
road companies for a writ OF manda-
mus against the Public Utilities was
postponed Monday to allow the attor-
neys time in which to prepare the
proper legal documents to state their
contentious at law. After these docu-
ments are prepared the attorneys will
again meet with the chief justice to
decide If he will hear the case or If
it will at once go to the law court on
report.
This case is the result of petitions
flied by the railroad companies against
the commission in which they allege
that the commission erred in its find
fngs and ruling in reducing the rates
Tor the transportation of pulpwood,
and In which they ask that the Public
Utilities Commission be directed to
make many findings of fact in order
that the railroad companies might per-
feet their appeal from the decision Of
that board. The railroad companies
also petition for the right to enter adj
ditional exceptions to those elready en-
tered although there Is a rule of the
commission that such exceptions shall
be entered within so days. They claim
that the provisions &C this rule are
now legally ineffective.
The petition was filed on December

posed amendment would have made
greater progress.
With regard to the proposed old
age pensions he expressed the hope
that the lawmakers would not he
permit themselves to be deluged with
the notion that any $4,000 as was
suggested at the last Legislature
would suffice. Many scores of tines
as much would be neeoed as they
would find them3, ives considering
the matter. The state OF Ohio that
has investigated the effect in thJt
state estimates that s22000,Ge0 an
nually would be required.
He thought an effort would be
made to introduce in Maine Il substi-
tute for the Ohio compulsory work
mems compensation act. That act
eliminates oil ,priyate insurance
agencies, requiring the insurance to-
be placed with the State. This
would he more costly for EMPLOYERS.
Mr.. Cleaves briefly mentioned GER
tain other measures before congress.
such as the Howell Barkley bill
which would return our railroads to
the conditions they We're under when
the federal government was in con-
troll; to the Wadswor:h Garrett mea-

that these and like measures should
receive careful consideration and
constituents should freely discuss
them with their representatives in
congress or in the legislature.

OBREGONS POLICY DISCOURAGING, SAYS
De La Huerta Man Sees Great
 ing Of Hatred Of U. s.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 4.-Presi- dent Obregon is creating hatred of the United States in Mexico because of the prevailing belief among Mexicans that he is attempting to deliver his republic into the hands of this country, according to Gustave Arce, former president of the commission of finance of the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, who arrived here yesterday on an un- announced mission for Adolfo de la Huerta, the revolutionary leader.
 'Obregon is creating new and dan gerous problem between Mexico and the United States and is running friendly relations between the two countries" said MT. Arce. Many Mex jeans believe Obregon when he finds himself in a desperate straits, will provoke armed interrogation by the United States to save his life. This fear of the delivery of Mexico to this country, is doing more than. anything else to swell the ranks of the revolu- tionists under De La Huerta."
 'The revolution is growing in strength every day, Mir. Arce added. ''The rebels have gained absolute con- trol of the states of Yucatan, Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Vera Cruz, Mich oacan, Jalisco, Mayaric, Guerrero ana Sinaloa.
 "Obregon himself has been cooped up in Queretaro and it is not true that his troops are near Vera Cruz, or have any chance of taking that port"

NEW ENVOY TO
 SAIL ON FEB. 10
Looks Forward To Renewal Of Acquaintance With America,
 Says Sir Esme Howard

LONDON, Feb. 4.-(By the Asso- ciated Press. .)--Sir Esme Howard, the new British ambassador to the United States, will sail on the Olympic Febru- ary 20 to take up his post. Lady How ard, who is now in -.ome, will come to England for Easter and then, with her three younger boys, will join Sir Esme at Washington.
 Asked if he had any message for the American people, the ambassador re- piled:
 T am fresh from four years in Spain, whose problems have nothing in common with >Anglo-American relations. I can, therefore, only give my personal i'm pressions on going to my post at Wash ington. Although feel great diffidence in taking up the responsibility which has been placed on me, I look forward with keen pleasure to renewing my ac- quaintnace with America, where 1 spent two happy years under Ambassador Bryce. 1 have many friends in the United States who have already assured me a hearty welcome. Even without their assurance, l feel safe in relying on the friendliest welcome from the hos pitable country, both as successor to DIT huChidHu 0cuucS anu aS Il StTdHSti, {, for 1 have always felt that there is no country in the world where a more cor dial welcome is extended stranger than the United States.
 This encourages and fOrtifes me in undertaking a position the duties of which do not feel competent to dis cuss. can perhaps express my ad- miration for American institutions in no better way than to say I intend to educate my three younger sons in Amer ican schools, so they can learn American methods and ideals"
 ''I don't know which is the greater responsibility, Sir Esme remarked, being ambassador at Washington or bringing up properly and educating five boys"

COUNTRY SWEPT BY
 SEVERE BLIZZARD
Worst Storm Of Winter Raging From Texas To Minnesota

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The worst storm of the winter from many angles swept the country from Minnesota to Texas today. Sleet and wind played havoc with communications and colder weather set in the north west. Many cities are isolated by sleet burdened wires.
 The high wind did almost as much damage as sleet. T~./
 The storm developed in the west last Saturday and has assumed widespread proportions in the middle Mississippi Valley although the situation is clear ing up today in western Nebraska. While precipitation has been wide spread it has not been heavy.
 Dispatches of the Associated Press were distributed to some points in Wisconsin and elsewhere by broadcast ing from the Chicago Daily News radio station WMAO. This was done at the request of Jonesvilie and Mani towoc, Wis, newspapers because of crippled telegraph wires and was ac- complished through the permission and aid of government radio authorities.
