CHILD LABOR
Favored BY u. S. Senator
Who Boasts of His
Stand

Raleigh, N. C.-United States SEN
ator Oyerman boasts that he believes
in child labor and is against the pend.
ing constitutional amendment.
This amendment, if adopted by the
senate and three-fourths of the states
will be an enabling act for congress
to regulate child labor up to 18 years
OF age. Congress can make any excep-
toon it chooses. Senator Overmar
would create the impression that il
the amendment is favored all labor OF
children 18 years of age or under will
be illegal.
In a letter reprinted in the Union
Herald, Senator Overman says:
"Now the people of New England
and the west, the uion labor, and the
good women of this country are try
ing to put something over on us which
will be menace to our whole system
of government.
WOlAOA WlCH WAS q UOy lC
years of age, and l feel that l am a
better man for having done so, and
have no doubt practically every man
of my age in the south did likewise.
"This amendment proposes to keep
boys under 18 years of age from work
ing on the farm or elsewhere, and
am not in favor of giving any such
power to congress.
"This matter has been pending in
the committee for months, and so far
| have succeeded in staving it off, but
it will soon come up in the senate, and
as all the New England and western
senators seem to favor it, l am afraid
it will pass.
when it does pass we want to 60
to work in our Legislature and defeat
it there, as it takes three-fourths of
the states to adopt it,"
