FEDERATION JOINS
CHILD LABOR FIGHT
Citizens Group Adopts Report
of Committee Opposing
Amendment.

The Federation of Citizens Associa-
tons last night Joined in the fight
against the bill pending in Congress to
amend the child labor law to permit
participation by children in profess
sional theatrical productions.
A Joint report of the law and legis-
lation and public welfare committees
opposing the bill was adopted by a
vote Of 80 to %, after minority report
favoring the amendment had been de-
feated "a to 80. Action was taken
after more than an hours debate.
The federation also Endorsed unani-
mously the recommendation of Presi-
dent Hoover for a 100000 emergency
appropriation for unemployment relief in
the District, and vigorously opposed the
bill recently passed by the Senate to
appropriate $4,000 out of District funds
for aid Of Casualty Hospital.
Report Opposing Amendment.
The report opposing the amendment
to the child labor bill was presented by
Thomas E. Lodge, chairman Of the Law
and Legislation Committee. Mrs E. c.
Rittue, chairman of the Welfare Com
mittee. handled the minority report.
Opposition to the child labor amend
ment was based chiefly = the ground
it would serve as am ( ming wedge
for breaking down child labor stand
ards. The influence of stage life on
the morals. education and health of a
child also were factors.
The Joint report cited as its reasons
for Directing to the bill those outlined
in an editorial In The Evening Star of
February FL These included the ex-
ploitation of children, the impractical
bility of any District agency to pass
tional training and moral background
of child actor, and the inherent i'm
possibility to prevent serious effects
upon a child who becomes a part of
a travelling theatrical production.
Work Fund Endorsed.
Endorsement of the proposed appro-
priation for employment relief was
voted on motion of Eta L. Taggert,
who pointed out the proposal is to be
considered tomorrow at an executive
hearing of the House subcommittee on
appropriations handling the District
appropriation bill. The $780, 900 is to
be shifted from the $l,600,00 appro-
priation recommended for the munich
pal center in the 1888 fiscal year.
Harry l. Stull of the Stanton Park
Citizens Association led the opposi-
for Casualty Hospital AS $4,000 of
this sum is to be used for retiring the
institutions debts, Stull said he con-
sidered the bill the most indefensible
piece of legislation ever passed by
either the House or Senate"

COLUMBIA, Mo, March 1e.-City
police and the Missouri State highway
patrol were searching tonight for Miss
Mary Sutterfield of Kansas City who
was kidnapped by five students this
afternoon, few hours before she was
to be crowned Queen of st. Patricks
ball, the annual dance of University of
Missouri engineering students.
In campus circles here it was be-
lieved the incident was a renewal of
the old feud between students of the
College of Engineering and the School
of Law.
AS Miss Butterfeld left her sorority
house to enter a taxicab, five young
men drove up in large sedan, pulled
her into their car and sped away.
The engineering students have been
cautious about revealing the identity
of their queen before the dance to pre-
vent such occurrences. They claim
the law students plan each year to
keep her away from the dance, but
never succeeded in former years.
Members of the two legal fraterni-
ties denied knowledge of the kidnapping
The car in which Miss Butterfield
was taken away was reported found
tonight at Moberly, Mo-, SO miles north
of here. No trace of the girl, nor her
abductors, believed to have been stu
dents playing prank, was found.
