SOLID FRONT is

LABOR MEASURE.

Accept.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO. Jan. so.-State Legis-
latures of the Middle West and
Northwest present practically a
solid front against the proposed
Federal child labor amendment. In
only one State, Wisconsin, do sup
porters of the measure feel they
have a fair uhance for victory.
Ohio and South Dakota have al
ready defeated the measure. The
North Dakota Senate defeated it, but
the House is to still take action
Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana,
Minnesota and Wisconsin have not
yet taken action
Farmers and manufacturers have
combined against the proposal on
the ground that it endangers their
stability and is an invasion of State
rights.
Women's organization, labor unions
and certain classes of small mer-
chants are arrayed on the side OF
the measure.
The Padney resolution ratifying
the amendment was recommended
for passage today by the Wisconsin
State Senate committee on agri-
culture, labor and industries.
Passage Likely
Next week the resolution comes
before the Senate and its passage
is believed certain. It may run up
against a snag In the House and a
compromise may be made by
shelving the measure for State
referendum on the question
Strong opposition to ratification is
known to exist in both Houses Of
the Indiena Legislature, though pro-
temporary victory when they forced
its consideration by the Senate Com
mittee on Federal Relations.
Michigan may not take action on
the measure until April and present
indications are it will be defeated.
Opponents declare the existing State
child labor amendment is sufficient

ture reconvenes on March Is it viii

evil Of child idleness is greater than

islature adopt resolution opposing
