LOST AMENDMENT
RETURNS TO LIFE
Backers of Child Labor Plan
Cheered by BeIated Ap-
provaI in States.
yy the Associated Press.

yy the Associated Press.
A lost" constitutional amendment
has come back to life, competing in q
small way with the proposal for repeal
of the eighteenth amendment.
The revised one is the plan to out
law exploitation of child labor, proposed
by Congress nine years ago, approved
until this year by six States and re-
jected by 26
1t was an outcast stepchild, viz
tually abandoned, despite the fact that
Congress placed no time limit for its
ratification, because it seemed impos-
sible to swing back enough States to
make up the necessary 36.
Then, surprisingly. this year Oregon
ratified and Washington and North
Dakota. The latter had been q re-
jector.
Ratified by Ohio.
This week Ohio's Legislature ratified,
and then the supporters of the lost
amendment sat up in earnest.
Perhaps the overwhelming ratif1ca-
ton in less than year of the lame
duck amendment, approved by every
State so far but Florida, Maryland and
Vermont, had something to do with
making the States amendment-con-
scious.
They certainly have bsen conscious
this year in regard to the prohibition
amendment. To date Is have provided
for ratifying conventions, o. them
having already set dates. Legislation
for ratification is pending in % more.
But the foes of child labor. the steady
workers against sweat-shop exploita-
ton Of minors, give much of the credit
for. revived interest in their amend
ment to Frances Perkins.

Then, too, many believe unemploy-
ment has SO heightened the effect of
the competition of youthful labor with
that of family bread-winners as to
heighten social consciousness of condi-
tions tolerated In more prosperous
times.
Another agency getting credit is the
American Federation of Labor, which
led the fight for the amendment
through Congress.

INDUSTRIES THAT LAG

When depressions come on, there
are some industries that continue
prosperous after others have gone
fiat. And then when the recovery
from depression is accomplished,
certain industries, usually the ones
that were the last to feel the origi-
nal disaster, are slow in starting up.
Even now, when there is a very
marked pickup all over the country,
some business people report that
they can see little if any improve
ment.
Their turn will come all right. 1t
takes time for the currents of in
dustry to flow into all the slow NOV
ing pools. But any industry that
has lived through the past four
years and is still running, can be
sure that it represents vital need.
And if it represents a vital need,
people are going to demand its prod
uct, and plenty of it, within the near
future
Milford chronicle., 1933-07-14
SELF HELP

Apparently the United States must
for the present depend largely on
its own efforts to produce industrial
recovery. The results of the Lon
don conference for world recovery
have been very disappointing so far.
Each of the leading nations has its
own ideas as to what should be done
to promote such recovery, but these
ideas differ so sharply that these
countries are not ready for any i'm
portant agreement.
The American people are capable
of producing industrial recovery by
their own efforts without outside
help, though it will not come so fast
as it might if all nations would take
hold and pull the load together.

BACK ON THE JOB

President Roosevelt has returned
from a good wholesome vacation, his
lungs full to overfiowing with sea
air, his cheeks tanned by summer
sunshine. For a few fog bound days,
he had to cast anchor to avoid the
reefs of a rockbound coast. Terri
BILE inaction this would seem to our
hurrying people, but any place Sc
cure from office seekers and unde-
sired advisers, would look good to
him.
Now he is bucking up to the desk
again, ready to boss the most am
bilious effort yet made to recast
business along modern lines. We
are all with him, whether his ideas
are right or not. In so far as his
experiments don't work, we can al
ways try something else. In so far
as they do work, he will have proved
himself a great man.

THE CONSUMER,S INTEREST

What is the new industrial re-
covery policy of the government go
ing to cost the consumer, the pur-
chaser of food, clothing, and other
necessaries of life here in Milford
and elsewhere? Here is where the
sticking point of the new indus
trial recovery act is likely to come.
So far the employers and employ
ees are showing as a rule dispo-
sition to get together under the new
law, and agree on what should con-
stitute fair schedules of working
time and fair minimum wages. But
It does not surely follow, if capital
and labor agree on terms, that the
purchaser of the product is going
to be satisfied.
Back in 1920. when the war time
boom reached its peak, capital and
labor agreed quite well. Capital
paid high wages to labor, labor spent
the money freely. But the prices of
goods at the stores rose to an
alarming peak. The cost of living
was fully double what it had been
six years previous, before the World
War started. The next thing that
happened was a buyers strike. Peo-
pie got out in overalls and paraded
the streets demanding lower prices.
They simply would not buy at those
prices, and serious panic and de-
preston followed.
The American people don't want
anything of that kind to happen
again. The government has already
warned producers and distributors
that prices must stay within reason.
But of course if the labor costs of
production go up, prices will have to
advance before very long. The gov
ernment apparently holds that a
price level such as prevailed about
1926, which was considered nor
NAL period, will be right. If it goes
higher than that, we might get an
other buyers strike.
1t is a time for everyone to play
the game, cooperate with other ele-
ments, and anybody who grasps for
more than his share may get moth
ing at all.

THE DEPRESSION OVER

Reports from 100 cities give sure
proof that the depression is over
says the president of the New York
Board of Trade. We have had
plenty of ballyhoo for the past four
years to this same effect, but the
results of this survey appear to be
the facts, and show without ques-
tion that a great gain has been
made.
Depressions wear themselves out.
There comes a time when people be-
come simply sick of inaction and
fear. They decide to go ahead and
take a chance. They have reached
that point already. AS the result we
see indications on every hand of en-
larged activity and many industries
are fairly humming. Hurray for
better times!

THOSE INDIRECT TAXES

The direct taxes you pay probably
don't amount to a large proportion
of your income. But if you add the
indirect taxes-those which are part
of the cost of buying service and
commodities-your total tax bill
rises amazingly.
A report of a Southern power
company observes that its taxes -
local, state and federal - amounted
to more than 500 year for each Gus
toner served. The ratio of taxes to
gross revenue was more than IL per
cent. In other words, twelve cents
out of each dollar paid for electric
service went to the tax collector.
The same thing is true, in varying
proportion, on everything you buy.
Government accounts for rs per cent
or more of the cost of gasoline. Tax
es are a major item in the cost of
shipping or travelling by rail. Taxa
tion is so great burden to the aver
age business that in many instances
it has prevented expansion that
would otherwise have been made,
and employment that would other
wise have been provided.
So, if your direct tax bill is small,
don't think that indicates the cost
of government is reasonable. 1t
isn't. It's excessive, and your taxes
are excessive along with everyone
elses. You pay but a small part of
it to the tax collector yourself-the
bulk of it is paid for you by the con-
Germs from which you purchase the
necessities and luxuries of life.
There's no such thing as levying a
AK against business-in the long
'un, it must all come out of the pub
ic. And that means you.
