ENGINEERING HEADS
PLAN LEGISLATION
Reorganizing of Commission
and Change in Paving
Law Are Discussed.

The first step toward preparing a
program of the most important legis-
lation needed by the District for con-
sideration at the coming session of
Congress was taken today when En-
gineer Commissioner Bell held a meet
ing with the heads of the various
branches of the Engineer Department.
At this conference only those matters
affecting engineering affairs were
taken up, but Commissioners Rudolph
and Fenning also will have a number
Of important bills to be reintroduced
dealing with problems under their
Jurisdiction.
Among the outstanding measures
discussed by Col. Bell with his sub.
ordinates today were the following:
Reor ganization Of the Public Utili-
ties Commission, modification Of the
Borland law. under which half the
cost OF street paving is assessed
against abutting property owners, and
a bill for the elimination of the rail-
road grade crossing at Michigan ave-
nue. northeast.
Col. Bell will personally handle the
preparation Of the bill for adding two
additional members to the Public
Utilities Commission, who would be
expected to devote all of their time
to utility matters, leaving the District
Commissioners more time for other
municipal problems.
The proposed modification of the
Borland law is expected to provide
only for eliminating the assessments
against a. tt1ng property owners
when stree s are re-surfaced after the
property owners have payed. an as
sessment for the original surfacins.
Col. Bell believes it Is unfair to as
sess residents of a street for re-sur-
facing when traffic generally has
worn out the original surface.
After the Commissioners have form
ulated a list Of the more important
bills 1t is expected they will seek the
cooperation Of the Citizens Advisory
Council in having them promptly con-
sidered and acted upon by the Senate
and House.

affairs to impress on Congress at

necessity of carrying out every de-
tail of the SO 9.0O0, 900 five.year school

The child labor amendment con-
troversy will again vex the incoming
Congress. The hope of President
Green of the American Federation of
Labor and other leading supporters
of the child labor amendment that 1t
may yet be ratified rests upon the
lack Of any legal decision showing
when an amendment to the Consti-
tuition Of the United States shall be
regarded as rejected.
An amendment becomes part Of the
Constitution after 1t has been ratified
by the Legislatures of at least three
fourths, or 36, of the States; but the
Constitution says nothing about its
status If ratification Is refused.
The child labor amendment, then,
is in a state of suspended animation,
and President Green has called upon
organized labor in States from Maine
to Florida and Oklahoma and as far
to the Northwest as Washington
State to apply the pulmotor. State
Legislatures, accordingly, will again
be asked to ratify this proposed
amendment in their coming sessions.
despite overwhelming refusal in such
States as Massachusetts,, as a result
Of the majority recorded against this
proposal on a referendum In the 1924
election.
Defeated In 20 States.
The record of States action on the
amendment to date is as follows:
Ratified by one house-New Mex
leo and Montana.
Rejected by both houses-Massa-
chusetts. Connecticut. Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Maine,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska. New

ORGANIZED LABOR WILL RENEW
CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT FIGHT
Holds State That Once Ratifes 1t Cannot Reverse
Stand-Plan Campaign of Attrition-Win
Press Measure Before Next Congress.

Louisiana. Michigan, Nevada, North
Dakota, Ohio and Oregon-7.
Postponed indefinitely - Indiana,
Iowa, Montana and Wyoming.
The executive council of the
American Federation Of labor has the
following opinion as to the status Of
this amendment:
According TO a decision made by
Congress in 1868. State that has
once ratified proposed amendment
cannot withdraw consent after 1t has
been reported to the Secretary of
State. In that year 80 of the 81
States had ratified the fourteenth
amendment, but States later with
drew their consent. This left 27
States, which was less than a three
fourths vote. The Secretary Of State
referred that matter to Congress and
it passed resolution that the
amendment had been approved by
80 States.
Reversal Other Way Valid.
Where a State has rejected an
amendment, however. it can change
its vote, according to information re-
ceived at the Department Of State.
In the form prescribed for informing
Congress that an amendment has been
ratified there Is no space given to the
State that voted against it. Therefore,
the only duty Of the Secretary of State
is to notify Congress when q sufficient
number Of States have ratified an
amendment. He does not report the
States that refuses to ratify.
with these facts before US, the
executive council has kept up con-
tinuous agitation in the various States
for the amendment to be made p6-
litical issue in the next election Of
members of the various legislatures.
The Supreme Court has decided that
there are only two methods Of ratify-
ing an ameudment-'bX the legislar
