EXPECTED
To ADOPT CHILD
LABOR AMENDMENT
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE FILLER

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Regu-
lation by the federal government of
child labor in the south and else
where is coming nearer and nearer,
despite the handful of southern
members Of congress still believing
in states rights. Unless it is caught
in a. legislative jam, the child labor
amendment to the federal cOnst!tu-
ton will be approved before this
congress adjourns.
Practically all of the votes
against the amendment in the house
were cast by southern members of
congress who still old to the idea
that there remains such a thing as
States rights" Georgia as much
as .or more than any other state,
fought for this position. Only two
Georgians, Representatives UpshaW
and Landlord, voted for the child Ia
Dor amendment; the others were
paired or voted against it. Now the
issue is on the calendar of the sem
ate.
After the decisive vote in the
house which adopted the conStitu-
tional amendment giving the federal
government the power to regulate
the hours Of employment and work
ing conditions OF persons under
eighteen years of age, the senate
advocates of the measure today
more confidently laid their plans for
an early vote in the upper chamber.
Senator Shortridge, of California,
author of the constitutional amend
ment in the senate, is convinced that
the senate will follow the house ac-
ton and propose to the country the
child labor amendment for final rat
ification. Likewise, Senator Short
ridge says he believes he has the
votes in hand to assure adoption.
Il have not pOlled the senate,
said the California senator and au
thor Of the child labor amendment,
but 7 am satisfied that as soon as
pending measures are out of the
way, we will have the amendment
before the senate and it will be
adopted by the two-thirds majority
as required. ! expect to get up the
senate resolution, No. /, offered by
me on the very first day Of the SEES
sion, before the recess of congress
for the national conventions, or be-
fore adjournment if v, adjourn be-
fore the conventions. L think it will
be approved"
Southern senators like Simmons,
North Carolina; Overman, North
Carolina; Smith, South Carolina;
Harris, Georgia and others who OPP
pose the Shortridge bill on the
ground of states rights, are plan
ming a long fight against such a
broad constitutional amendment.

PROBE TACTICS HIT.

ASHEVILLE, N. c.. April 29.-
Charges that Frank A. Vanderlip Is

against the department OF justice, in
Guiding ex-train robbers and convicts,
and that the arrest Of his brother
was an attempt to interfere with his
election as legate-at-large from

statement issued here last night.
"Vanderlip will need his money il

Mr.. Daugherty asserted in issuing his
statement.
"The senate, in sending an officer
to Ohio to try to arrest my brother
on Sunday, just two days before; the
primary, was an additional small and
personal insult and for the purpose
of affecting the vote on delegates to
the Republican national convention,
declared Mr.. Daugherty.
GAS I am candidate for delegate
at-large," he continued, this trick is
supposed to make newspaper head
lines to mislead the public"
Speaking of the investigation, Mr..
Daugherty said that in due time and
before proper tribunals, no proper ev-
idence will be denied.

the illegality of the proceedings and
the bad faith of those responsible for
attempted character assassination"
he asserted.
"It would seem, by this time, those
in the department Of justice who can
give the facts regarding the manner
in which the government business
is transacted would be called. The
important thing the public wants to
know is the record of the department..
THAT being shown, the department
Of justice will be given great credit.

business to Washington of eX-train

GARRISON REBELS,
REVOLT IS FEARED
THROUGHOUT CUBA

HAVANA, Cuba, April 29.-Dis-
affection long smouldering in Santa
Clara province came to a head to-
day when a detachment of the rural
guard reVolted and fled from their
post near the city of Santa Clara.
Dispatches Published by Heraldo
De Cuba said the men marched out
shouting Down with zayas! Down
with reelection"
The dispatches were confirmed at

ed by scenes of intense activity at
the palace, and the Offices of the
secretary OF interior and secretary
of war and navy.
The rebels seized the safe in the

declared had been confirmed. An
exchange Of shots between loyal
forces and the rebels followed the at
tack on the city hall and then the
rebels fled, it was declared. 1t was

ton of President Zayas has been
shown frequently of late in the east
ern provinces of Cuba and although
the president has never declared
definitely that he would seek re-elec-
ton this fall, charges have been
made that he was working to this
end. He has merely said he would
wait to see what was asked of him
by his friends and in general terms
declared his opposition to re-elec-
ton which he voiced some time ago.
Members Of the Veterans and Pa
triots' association which was organ
lied in Havana last August and
whose leaders have long talked revo-
luton if they considered there was
no other way to force certain re-
forms, are reported to have been
unusually active of late in Santa
Clara and Camaguey provinces.
There have been rumors that Gen
eral Carlos Garcia Velez, president
of the association, who went to New
York a month ago, had returned to
Cuba and was working in one of
the eastern provinces, but these
have been denied unofficially.
1t was reported that leaders Of
the Veterans and Patriots associa-
ton in Havana were being arrested.
The report said DR.. Oscar Soto
DR.. Carlos Alzugaray Mario Garcia
Velez, a brother of General Carlos

rested by army authorities and de-
tanned in Cabanas fortress, on the
