CONTINUE FIGHT ON
CHILD LABOR Law
Advocates Refuse to Admit De-
feat of Amendment
HOPE FOR RECONSIDERATION
Opposition Plans Speedy Death Blow
Through Court Action-Many +
concede Defeat Of
Proposal. = tis

Washington.-The child labor amend
ment, almost forlorn hope of advo-
Gates of national Legislation on the
subject, will not be abandoned by its
true friends" labor headquarters and
score of other organizations an
nounced.
The amendment, which would au-
thorize Congress to pass child labor
legislation, is not dead its friends
claim, although IA, or two more than
one-fourth Of the States, have taken
adverse action on it through legisla-
lures and referendum.
Amy state which has rejected it can
reconsider now or in future years,
they contended. Once ratified by the
legislature, however. the action is
binding.
Opponents Of the measure, however,
are preparing to deal the amendment
the death blow, it is understood. They
plan to take q case directly .to< the
Supreme Court as soon as both houses
Of 13 Legislatures act adversely, argu-
ing that since more than one-fourth
Of the states are registered in oppo-
sition, the lack Of support by three
fourths Of the states is clearly regis.
tered The court would be asked to
remove the amendment from further
consideration.
Senator Walsh, of Montana, Demo.
crst, one of the strongest supporters
Of the amendment, said the opposition
registered so far is not serious, be.
cause the reception Of the amendment
20 far will make it dominant issue
In the elections of 1926 and 1928.
"The people have not had chance
20 voice themselves on this issue; the
legislatures are acting without man
date from the people" Walsh said.
~ Walsh holds that an amendment is
.alive" for six years, and supported
the statement that any legislature
could reconsider Its rejection, but
could not reconsider approval.
Many Senators conceded their belief
In the failure of the proposal. The
Southern Democrats heralded it as de
feat OF proposal to encroach upon
states rights. and Senator Bayard Of
Delaware charged the amendment
was the central feature of "a Com
munistic plot to cause Industrial and
social strife in the United States"
Atlanta. - Plans for revising the
State child labor law and raising the
age limit for children in industries
from IA to Is years will be submitted
to the next Georgia Legislature, which
meets in June, Hal Stanley, Secretary
Department of Commerce and Indus
try, announced.
The present law permits children
who have reached the age Of IA to be
employed in factories. and in cases Of
widowed mothers depending on their
support, children OF 10 may work
Exceptions also are made for poor
orphans,

Nome, fighting against the spread Of
hundreds Of cases of diphtheria with
anti-toxin units five years old, was
demonstrating to the medical world
that aged anti-toxin thought worthless
after six months, retains its curative
powers for years.
Under the press Of necessity medi-
cal men here were forced to expert
ment with the old supply of anti
toxin while dog teams were racing
over 800 miles Of snow-bound trails,
fastening to this town from Anchor
age and Nenana with 100000 fresh
units.
DR.. Curtis WEIGH, in charge Of the
forces fighting the epidemic, pointed
to the results obtained from the use
Of the old serum.

in many instances.

of public schools, was taken i'll with
diphtheria, but his condition has i'm
proved.

Anchorage. Alaska. - Antitoxin for
Nome, on the Seward Peninsula, 500
miles from Nenana on the Alaska
Railroad, is on it's way to help Quell an
epidemic of diphtheria in Nome.
The package of life saver, which
was rushed from here to Nenana, 200
miles away, by railroad, weighs 20
pounds. It is being forwarded by re-
lays of dog teams arranged by the
United States Government. Bill Shan
non left Nenana at IL o'clock in a
temperature IS degrees below zero.
At Tolovana Jim Kalland waited
with his dogs in harness. He said he
would reach Hot Springs, IS miles
west, by o'clock.
Land wires and the radio in Alaska
have been humming two days with
calls for dogs and men to come to the
long trail overland and sea to Nome.
The package, which these men and
dogs await along the way, must, ac-
cording to information here, travel
the last stage Of the journey on the
ice Of Norton Sound, an arm Of Ber-
ing Sea.
with Leonard Zeppela, famed rae
ing driver of dog teams, rushing forth
to meet the oncoming relays, it was
estimated that the antitoxin would be
in Nome In one week.
For the first 800 miles from Mem
ana the trail is ON the ice Of the Yu-
kon river. On that part Of the river
are many settlements Of Indians, with
a scattering of mail carriers and Of
trouble shooters, that the signal corps
of the United States Army keeps in
the country to maintain telegraph
communication. In those settlements
are some Of the best mushing huskies
in the world, and the men who will
drive them are men who know dogs,
know the trail and know every man,
woman and child within so miles Of
the highways.
