Morrison Wants Light on Methods
Used Against Labor Law. :,

A congressional investigation of the
methods used to block ratification of
the child labor amendment was sug-
gested today by Frank Morrison, sec
retary of the American Federation

Mr.. Morrison declared, in a state

that 1t would be possible for any of
the 13 states which have voted ad-
Versely on it to reconsider it's de-

where unfavorab1e action already has
been taken, there have been organ

about resorting to gross misrepresen-

financing these campaigns. The whole

CHICAGO, January 2S.-May wheat
went above the 81 mark shortly after
the opening of the Board of Trade to-
day. General buying by commission
houses after the opening absorbed i'm
mense profit-taking sales, which quickly
sent initial values upward.
Initial quotations on May were

tinued bullish today, and with increased
buying May went fractionally above the

With the exception of 1861, the
price attained during the early deal
ings today was the highest since 1868,
when wheat for immediate delivery
sold at S220 in November.
Within the first hour the market
displayed considerable activity, buy
ing being persistent. Strength in
Winnipeg and Buenos Aires was a
factor in forcing the upturn, May
touching $2.o2A within the first half
hour of trading. September also
showed initial frmness. July, how
ever, started at a decline, but soon
rallied
Immense trading in wheat con-
tinued, with the same consistent run
of buying orders so much in evidence
since the opening. An hour and a

ny the Associated fress.
CHICAGO, January 2S.-Beaten in
either the legislatures or by referen-
dunn in 13 States, the child labor
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
tion virtually has been defeated.
The adverse action of the 13 States
has rendered impossible the neces-
sary ratification by three-fourths of
the 4S States, unless some of the leg
islatures reconsider. No move in that
direction has been made.
Sixteen States have considered the
congressional proposal to amend the
Cons stitution so Congress might legis-

both houses OF the Legislature re-

South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana,

amendment was rejected by refer

declared o. r. Lovejoy, general sec
rotary of the national child labor
committee, in an address prepared
for delivery today before the City
Club of Chicago.
States in voting against ratifica-
tion have gone on record against
child labor standards, he asserted
The next step is the capitaliza ton
of the defeat of the amendment in
the adverse States by bringing about
either a lowering of their nominal
standards or laxness of enforce
ment," he averred.
The trend of child protection,
which was upward while Congress
had power to enact child labor laws,
may be expected to be lowered wher-
ever the amendment is defeated, and
once several States lower their nomi-
nal and actual standards other States
will be forced to follow"

matters pertaining to licensing and
general regulation of traffic.
Three hundred additional policemen,

BUILDING BILL VOTE
ARRANGED MONDAY
House Held Likely to Pass
S150,0OO, 1000 Measure.
Part Comes Here.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The $50, ,000,0 900 public building bill
onethird of which amount is for
urgently needed Federal buildings in
the National Capital, will come up
for consideration in the House next
Monday, under suspension of the
rules, with the probability that 1t
will pass, although a two-third vote
will be required.
The Speaker will recognize Chair
man Elliott of the House committee
on public buildings and grounds, au-
thor of this new public buildings bill,
which carries new system on public
buildings, which is a logical develop
ment of the budget system.
If the two-thirds vote is not mus
tered Chairman Elliott can bring the
measure up again for consideration
on Wednesday, when his committee
has the call on the calendar. If
very strong opposition develops the
measure will be laid aside and no
further effort made to pass it at this
session of Congress.
Passage Held Likely.
There is every probability that this
bill will pass on Monday because the
membership of the House has been
advised that President Coolidge is
strongly behind this legislation. The
steering committee mt yesterday with
the intention of sidetracking the
building program, but the commit
tee was informed that the President
wanted the bill passed.
House Leader Longworth and Chair
man Madden of the House appropria-
tions committee called upon President
Coolidge, and it is understood that
they were informed in rather positive
language that the President wants
the bill passed at this session.
Practically all the more prominent
House leaders, especially on the Re-
publican side. are in favor of the bill,
including Madden and Chairman Smell
of the rules committee.
