Bust as now it is "the six-hour bay and the five-day week."
 The eight-hour day fight was Brought to a crisis in the depres- sion of 1893-94, when 6,000,000 workers were idle. The World War brought 1t to full fruition. and the steel industry, always backward in labor progress, did hot come to 1t until we'll after she war.
 Child labor, for years blot on the American labor scene, first drew determined opposition in 1881, when it was shown that children of six and seven years were stripping tobacco from dawn until late at night.
 GOMPERS TO FORE
 It was Samuel Gompers' fight against tenenfcnt cigar-making in this era which helped bring him out as a national leader, and which started the fight on child labor which was not to succeed until the MIRA in 1888 abolished 1t temporarily.
 The child labor amendment has yet to pass the states in final form and become part of the Con- gtitution.
 The legal status of labor and labor organizations is again a story of long uphill struggle, but c struggle that has won greater and greater rights all the time. This history is written in 0 series of famous cases.
 First of these Is the Buck Stove case. This St Louis firm had la- bor trouble and was made the victim of 8 national boycott by feh A. F. of L. The company. nearing ruin, secured an injunction from circulating it's "unfair list" ESCAPE JAIL TERMS
 On an alleged violation of this Injunction, Frank Morrison, John Mitchell, and Sam Gompers, all A. E. of l.. officials, were sem fenced to jail. A ttechnicality saved them from serving sen- kence.
 But the famous Danbury Hat AerS case, which dragged through She courts from 1902 to 1915, fol- lowed shortly after.
 This Connecticut hat company was likewise the victim of a na- don-wide boycott. It won an in- Function and a supreme court de- qisiOn to sustain it, that the Sher- man Antitrust Law forbade in- terstate boycotts.

The government led the way out. In 1840, President Martin Van Buren established the 10- hour day in the government serv- Ice.
 Real agitation for the eight hour day did not begin until after the Civil War. In 1868 the government again led the way with an eight-hour day for gov- ernment work, a plan which. how ever, was not fully enforced until much later, and then only after persistent agitation.
 Most of this was on the part of the A. F. of L., whose rally lng-cry was "the eight-hour day."

By the Associated Press.


BOSTON, February 21.-James
Roosevelt, son Of the President
chuckled yesterday when informed
that his mother had written him ask
ing his reasons for opposing the pro-
posed Federal child labor amendment
II guess I'll wait until 1 receive
mothers letter before say anything,
he said Il didn't know she had
written to me-"
Both President and Mrs. Roosevelt
have given the child labor amend
ment their strong support. Opponents
of the measure were pleased to hear
that last Sunday. James, in an ad-
dress before q group OF church people
in Newton, had made known his op-
position to it. He did not give any
detailed explanation of his stand
Il expect to give out statement
soon on my reasons for opposing the
amendment" he said today. Il had
intended to give it out probably today
but I'll wait until receive mother S
letter. No, I don't think I'll make
our correspondence public"
The Massachusetts, Legislature Mon
day refused, in the House of Repre-
sentatives, to place Massachusetts,
among the States ratifying the meas

reconsider its action.
Ten years ago Massachusetts, re-
fused ratification and when the meas

from such leaders as A. Lawrence

BOTANIC GARDEN
TRANSFER PUSHED
Mrs. Henry Appeals for
Move to Department of
Agriculture.
Proponents of the Robinson bill for

Proponents Of the Robinson bill for
transfer of control of the Botanic Gar
den to the Department Of Agricul-
ture, upon which hearing was held
yesterday before the Joint Committee
on Library of the Senate and House,
said today they would seek early IA
vorable action on the measure
Senator Barkley of Kentucky, chair
man Of the joint committee, an
nounced another hearing would be
held at a date still to be determined.
At that time, he said, it is planned
to hear some ofAthe men connected
with the management of the garden,
as well as other witnesses.
The Botanic Garden is now under
control of the joint Library Commit
tee, and has been for years. While
some Of the members of the COM
mittee for development of a great
National Botanic Garden, there is
opposition on their part to turning
it over to the Department of Agri-
culture. Apparently they prefer to
keep it under the control of Congress
or to set up some new agency to
handle it.
Mrs. Henry Delayed.
Owing to delay of her train on ac-
count of the blizzard in the north
earStern part of the country, Mrs
j. Norman Henry, representing the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
and the Massachusetts, Horticultural
Society, was unable to reach the
hearing yesterday in time to present
a statement in support OF the Robin
son bill. In the statement, made
public today, she said the Pennsyl-
vania Society was the oldest institu-
tion of its kind in America and has
membership Of more than $500,
and that the Massachusetts society
has a membership of more than 1900.
She continued:
"On their behalf, I want to urge
the transfer of the Washington Bo-
tanic Garden from its present man
agement to that of the Department
of Agriculture.
Horticulture has become an i'm
mense interest in America, an interest
that opens up a world of science,
beauty and healthful recreation.
Botanic gardens should be the very
foundation of horticultural knowledge.
After 80 years trial where it Is, the
Washington Botanic Garden has no
standing at all in the eyes of the
horticultural or botanical world.
Staff Is Prepared.
"On the other hand, the Depart
ment of Agriculture, through its
Bureau Of Plant Industry, has already
the staff. the facilities and the ex-
perience to go far toward Immediately
establishing such a garden, as well as
the international contacts that would
create its position among the botanic
gardens of the world.
THE Department of Agriculture
has already the administration of the
national arboretum, now under de-
velopment and should have, in our
opinion, the program of this similar
project in the closely related field.
Since the Department of Agricul-
ture has demonstrated what it can do
and the present management has
demonstrated what is has, we firmly
believe that in the very able care of
the Department Of Agriculture the
garden will rise up and take its rank

Highway trafdc was still tied up
in many places today, but most trains
were moving, although regular sched-
ules were largely disregarded. Schools,
courts and businesses were reopening
after suspending because OF the storm.
Through the night 80 sailors stuck
to the collier, Northern Sword, which
jammed ashore of Winthrop Head,
near Boston. Coast Guardsmen with
breeches buoy stood ready to take
them of in smashing seas started to
break up the vessel.
The Coast Guard cutter Ossipee to-
day wireleSsed 1t had found the dis
tressed Boston trawler Georgetown $50
miles from Boston, and after great
difficulty had taken the vessel in tow.
The Georgetown was described as In
q bad way when reached, with en-
gines disabled and the crew suffering
severely.
Storm Delays Executions.
The storm gave three doomed
slayers in Boston a few more hours
Of life. The executioner, Robert Ell
lott, was snowbound somewhere be-
tween New York and Boston, and so
Herman Snyder, John A. Donnellon
and Harry c. Bull could not be cleo
trocuted at the appointed hour early
today.
Here are some of the high spots OF
the storms havoc:
A Boston train due in New York
at 6:35 am. yesterday arrived at 5:45
pm, the first to get through.
An expectant mother, Mrs E. D.
Mellier of Westbury, Long Island,
started for the hospital in a doctor
car. 1t got stuck in drift. A police
man got another car. 1t also became
stuck. Then a tractor was hooked on
to the car, and Mrs. Mellier reached
the hospital in time to give birth to
twins.
A Boston New York bus was caught
in a drift in North Branford, Conn,
and 80 passengers, including two
babies, took refuge in farm houses.
School fires in Berlin, Conn. were
stocked to warm marooned bus trav-
elers.
One Wall street broker had his
groom harness two horses to a sleigh
to get to business. The Connecticut
Light g. Power Co. sent repairmen
out in bobsleds. One horse plunged
out OF sight in a snoWdrift.
