SUMMING UP THE CASE AGAINST THE
MAN AND WOMAN LABOR ,s.,
AMENDMENT ...


AMENDMENT s.
The Times-News has printed two articles
which present fairly comprehensive rec
ord of the contest waged by an aggrega-
ton of female Reds to compel Congress 10
adopt the so-called national child labor
amendment, thirteen years ago. We have
shown from the records that group OF
female radicals, under the leadership OF
Mrs. Florence Wischnewetsky Zone OF the
slickest communists that ever plagued TINS
country lobbied through Congress the
children's bureau of the Labor Department
and then proposed, wrote and loobied
through Congress the so-called child LABOR
amendment, which they have sought Tor
twelve years to force through three
fourths of the State legislatures and thus
secure its addition to the Constitution OF
the United States. .... .
If the amendment should be adopted its
enforcement would be entrusted to the
cbildren's bureau of the Labor Depart
ment The bureau is stated and controlled
bv radical females. The Labor Department
issat present the particular domain of Sis
ter Frances Perkins. Sister Perkins is
rated by Washington commentators as the
greatest flop of all the cabinet officers OF
President Roosevelt; but she has served
very we'll the purpose for which she was
selected to take charge of the Labor De-
partment Sis Perkins is more or less

gAfter the amendment to limit, regulate
and prohibit the labor of persons under IL
years of age" was approved by Congress
and sent down to the States it was prompt
" rejected by SO States, or two more than
three-fourths of the total number of States.
To have secured its adoption it would have
been necessary for sc States to approve
the amendment. The 38 reflections were
recorded in ten months, just as rapidly as
State legislatures could pass on the issue.
Everybody in the country supposed the
amendment was dead, and it was absolute
Informant for ten years. Then the pres
ept day radical insanity attacked the coun-
try and the sponsors of national control OF
children and families through the use OF
this communist device, rightly guessed that
twas favorable time to revive the effort
for the adoption of the amendment. This
movement was right down the alley of Sis
Perkins of the Labor Department; and
with the blessing of her boss, President
Roosevelt, and the active cooperation OF
many radicals connected with the admin
istration, about three years ago began the
campaign to force the adoption of the
measure.
All the power of the federal administra'
ton has since that time been brought tc
bear on the States and State legislature:
to- compel favorable action on the amend
ment. By this means 20 States have beer
forced into line, so that it is now necessary
to- secure the favorable action of only Il
additional States in order to make this IN
ialitous measure the law of the land.
The policy OF the proponents OF the
amendment has been to appeal to the sen
tirnental and humanitarian instincts of
great body of American citizens who can
MT be classed as Reds and to secure thell
approval of the measure as safeguard o.
child life.
Every radical of whatever name Of
shade in the country is an enthusiastic ad
vdcate of the proposal, but the leaders O
the movement have beeen aware all aloni
that more support than the Reds coul(
command was necessary for winnini
fight. Their appeals have been chiefly ad
