Il do not believe the improvement
could have been effected without the

and most of all impressed by the
abundant confidence and driving power
of President Roosevelt himself. whom !
was fortunate enough to meet.
With the further development OF

100 CODES CONTAIN
CHILD LABOR LAWS.
Nine States Join Movement
for Curbing Employment
= of Minors.
BY the Associated Press.


Youngsters VINO have had to earn
their bed and board hunched over cut
ting tables, working in mines and tend
ing machines have gained respite
through the N. R. A. codes that
promises to become permanent bene-
fit.
More than 100 codes in effect by
November Is have released children
from their drudgery to go back to
play
If the children were protected only
by the codes, they might have to go
back to work at the end of the ma
tional emergency measures two years
hence.
But, meanwhile. the child labor
amendment, quietly circulating the
country, has gained new lease on life
coincident with the discussions held
during the writing of the codes.
Consideration Gains Momentum
Until this year, only six States had
ratified the child labor amendment
which was passed by Congress in 1924.
But this year nine more state joined the
procession, and in six others either
House or Senate of the State Legislature
has passed the amendment.
The states which have ratified the
amendment are: Arkansas, in 1924;
Arizona, California and Wisconsin, in
1925, Montana, 1927. Colorado, 1881;
and Illinois, Michigan. North Dakota.
New Hampshire. New Jersey. Ohio. Ok
lahOma, Oregon and washington, In
1888 The amendment has passed one
nesota. New Mexico. Nevada, Nebraska,
wyoming and Missouri.
Texas and Kansas moved against the
general trend this year. In each State,
one branch of the Legislature rejected
the amendment.
The attempt to regulate child labor
through Federal legislation has been an
uphill fight The first bill was. intro
duced into Congress in 1906 by Senator
Beveridge of Indiana and Senator
Lodge Of Massachusetts,.
Two Laws Held Unconstitutional.
Since then, there have been two Fed
eral child labor laws, but both we're de-
clared unconstitutional
A bill passed in 1916 tried to regulate
child labor through closing interstate
channels of trade to all products on
which children had worked.
Another bill passed in 1919 imposed
tax of 10 per cent on annual net
profits in industries which employed
children in violation of standards laid
down in the act.
The next step was the present amend
ment which goes farther than the pre-
viouS two. 1t simply gives Congress the
right to pass child labor legislation; to
limit. regulate and prohibit the labor of
persons under 18 years of ago.
When and if the present amendment
Is ratified it will be the. duty of Congress
to consider conditions under which chill
| dren work and to pass regulations
| adapted to the various industries which
| employ them. Thirty-six States must
ratify to make the amendment part of
the Constitution.

Ethel Barrymore's denunciation of 800
Philadelphia club women as know-noth-

storm Of protest.
The two famous actresses created
their sensation-as full of drama as any
of their theatrical triumphs-at the
Philadelphia lecture assembly where
Miss lie Gallienne appeared yesterday
to make amends" for her failure to
keep an engagement last Monday.
Explaining her failure as the result Of
a complete misunderstanding" her
apology was such that 1t set the stage
for Miss Barrymore, princess of the
American theaters royal family"
Il don't know why we bother to speak
to you." Miss Barrymore told the wom-

her companions criticism. Miss lie

be here at all.
Meaning Made Clear.
"You don't know anything. You don't

LIE Gallienne has done you a great
honor. I don't know why. I don't
know why any one should honor you.
You do not come to see my plays. You
should be happy to come here two or
three times in order to hear Miss lie
Gallienne once!"
Turning to Miss LIE Gallienne she con-
tinued.
II found this child She has done
more for the American theater than
any one else in the world. And yet you
dare criticize here a woman of her in
telligence, because she doesn't appear at
some meeting or other that she doesn't
know anything about"
The fire died from her eyes a mo-
ment, and she smiled.
My grandmother had a theater here
in Philadelphia, when people still had
manners" she said. Yes, it's been
written about in books But then. you
wouldn't know anything about that. 1t
doesn't matter. What's the difference?"
Never Broke Engagement.
Although mild by comparison. Miss
LIE Gallienne's criticism of the audience
was no less pointed. Asserting she had
never broken a professional engage

Il would think by this time you
would have little faith"
Her scheduled lecture concerned her
plans for a national repertory theater
