Administrative Prod

When the child labor amend
ment was adopted by two-thlrds
vote for both Houses Of Con-
gress and submitted to the
States in 1924, the American
people spoke through their
Senators and Representatives
in Congress.
If the American people will
now speak again through the
President to the governors and
legislatures of the severa !
States in favor of immediate
ratification, the child labor
amendment can be added to
the Constitution within tn e
next IL months.
More than 100000 children
have been emancipated from
premature employment and en-
abled to return to school by
the temporary elimination OF
child labor un der industrial
codes of fair competition now
in force.
All these children can be kept
in school and those who come
after them assured of the op-
portunity that only education
can give if the Roosevelt Ad'
ministration will m a ke the
same vigorous fight for the
approval of the child labor
amendment that it has made
for the repeal Of the prohibi-
ton amendment.

FIGHT FOR RIGHTS
Militant Convention Program
Seeks Reforms of Adverse
lob Conditions.
BY ]. A. FOX,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September a.
With a militant program aimed princi-
pally at effecting reforms of adverse
employment conditions that have crept
into the Government personnel struc-
ture since the passage of the first
economy act in July, 1882. the National
Federation of Federal Employees open
their twelfth biennial convention here
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
Termed by Luther c. Steward of
Washington, national president, as the
most important meeting in the history
of the organiza tion," the convention
will bring together representatives of
some 500 local unions. who will decide
on the principles to be fought for to
better the working conditions of those
constituting the vast machinery of
government
Seven Main Issues.
Seven main issues loom as the rally
ing points of the workers:
Preservation and extension of the
merit system.
Elimination of pay cuts and furloughs
Standardized sick and annual leave,
and an equitable adjustment of the
entire leave question.
Removal of inequities in the Federal
charges for quarters, subsistence and
laundry.
Extension of classification that will
take in the field service.
Establishment of civil service court
Of appeals"
Optional voluntary retirement after
30 years of service.
276 Resolutions In Hand.
Along with these will be considered
dozens Of related issues, 276 resolutions
already being in hand for committee
action, with others in prospect when
the convention gets started.
Under customary procedure, those
resolution of like tenor will be Jumped,
with the views of different locals united
on any certain issue consolidated in the
one proposal, in order that the conven-
tion will have say on any idea ad-
yanced.
This policy forestalls "steam-roller"
tactics for choking of controversial is
sues and, in the ordinary course Of
events, will pave the way for bringing
to light any interfederation grievances,
one of which-relations with the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor-seems due
for test.
This is the first gathering Of the Fed
eral Employees since the split with the
American Federation of Labor in De-
cember, 1881, in row over classiflca-
ton, and two representatives of the
American Federation of Government
Employees, which was set up by the Fed

A thorough test of the effect on prices
of bringing Americas oil production in
accord with market needs was called fol
yesterday by Secretary Ickes as the first
move in Federal supervision of the pc

code.
For the time being, Ickes vetoed the
appeals of a wide section of the Sl2.-

from members of its own planning and
Coordination Committee that the Gov

This decision made the Interior
Secretary. who also is oil administrator
set the national daily production at
2,409,7O0 barrels. prohibiting net with
drawals from storage except with his
consent, and limiting imports to about
10000 barrels daily.
With these steps, the code became
formally effective, but numerous re-
visions still were pending on Ickes' desk
for final determination. The code af-
fects an estimated 100000 workers and
leaders have said these would be in
