| Orders of the Day
MIR. SMITH of Somerset: Mr.. Pres
ioent, 1 move to take from the ia
pie the constitutional amendment re-
latfng to child labor.
The motion was agreed to and tho
Senator then yielded to the Senator
from kennebec. Senator Maher.
; Mr.. MAHER of Kennebec: Mr.
president, II 1t is in order, / would
move the reference of the Constitu-
tlonal amendment to the committee
on labor. From the title of the
amendment itself and the very ma
! lure OF the thing, it would appar-
emily be the appropriate and proper
committee.
Mr.. SMITH of Somerset: Mr.
President. now move that we take
from the table S. p. No. 121, Re-
solve rattfying the proposed child la
Dor amendment.
The motion was agreed to, and the
Senator then yielded to the Senator
from Kennebec, Senator Maher.
| Mr.. MAHER of KeUnebec: Mr..
president, inasmuch as this is an af-
nrmat1ve resolution, proposing to
ratlfy the constitutional amendment
before referred to- think that that
Is the appropriate and proper way
to handle a Federal Constitutional
amendment, and not by the way OF
negative refusal-and understanding
that there is pending elsewhere a
negative proposition, it seems to me
that this should be referred also, in
conjunction with the Constitutional
amendment itself, to the same COM
mittee in order to avoid confusion,
move that it be referred to the
committee on labor.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. CARTER of Androscogein:
Mr.. President, I now move that we
take from the table Senate Paper No.
10: Resolve rejecting the proposed
child labor amendment.
- The motion was agreed to, and the
Senator then yielded to the Senator
from kennebec, Senator Maher.
! Mr.. MAHER of Kennebec: Mr..
President. This is evidently the neg
alive resolve which 1 had in my
mind and thought was elsewhere. I
think that this, in cOmpanv-w1th the
affirmative resolve and the amend
ment itself, should be referred to the
committee on labor, and so move.
| The motion was agreed to.
On motion by Mr.. Carter Of An
droscoggin,
| Adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
