CHILD LABOR LAWS

On June }, 1924, Congress passed child labor amendment to the Constitution of the United States and if it will be ratified by 36 sates-the legisla- lures thereof-it will become the twentieth amend ment to the Federal Constitution.
 The amendment provides that Congress shall have power to limit regulate, and prohibit the la Dor of persons under ghteen years of age etc.
 Very many individuals msinterpreted this amendment, believing that it means that children under eighteen years of age shall not be employed. Were that so, then the amendment surely would de- serve defeat, for many children, when they reach their teens-young and young women, so to speak-show no inclination for study and have, in fact, no capacity for more than elementary knowl- edge. To prevent such from working would mean to drive them into idleness and mischief
 The amendment, however, provides only for power ''to limit, regulate, and prohibit" the labor of persons under eighteen. But Congress- by this amendment, is granted the power-and if sixteen were substituted for eighteen chances little op- position would be encountered As the matter now stands the manufacturers and the farmers are op- posed to the amendment, and 1t will have rough sailing. This month thirty eight legislatures are meeting and so far 1t doesn t possible that the amendment will be tackled onto the Constitution as 36 out of the 38 must ratify the amendment.

LABOR PARTY DOOMED

Frequently labor leaders have endeavored tc consolidate the working people into political unit but always have they failed. Facts and figures prove this contention.
 Looking back to 1884, when with 50000 organ. ized workmen in America, the American Federation of Labor took form, steady growth of a body of men organized primarily to humanize work ing conditions. In 1900 there more than a half million of them; and steadily the number in- creased until 1919 when there were more than three million members With sudden zest this member ship in 1920 was run up to four and quarter mil hon-the peak of labors accomplishment. And just as sudden has been the drop in the past four years, falling to 2,850,O0O
 Why the drop? From time to time political leaders tried to drag the membership into politics. turning to party or another millions of votes just as though the individual worker had no mind of his own. The election of 1924 was again impressive example.
 Organized labor is splendid thing, but not in politics as politicians would welcome it. The nu- mercal strength of labor depends entirely upon the leaders in its fold. The average worker wants or ganization to bring him better working conditions and higher wages or what he claims just wages; but more and more does he realize that within his labor votes on election day much commodity.

than selfshly manipulated government. The de sire for political power may be created through uni fcation of governmental departments at the hands of politicians
 Then, again, the principle of consolidation works splendidly in the commercial sphere if check valve through legislation prevents the creation of monopoly.
 The President advocates at this time the policy of consolidating railways into larger units with re- gard to public interests. It is true that there is enormous waste in railway operations. For exam- pie: A is a city and is city, Two railroads connect the two cities, carrying passengers and freight to and fro. Let consider the enormous duplication of investment in equipment and opera tion The waste is inestimable. The policy of con- servaton in this case is in order

STRANGERS COMING IN

Under the operation of the so-called quota law immigration from European countries and Mexico has doubled. The overseas increase is credited to northern Europe while Turkey and southern Eu- rope show decrease of almost million within ten vears
