 Senate Business
 Hartford, Conn, June 7(UP)-- The senate labor committee today reported favorably on a bill to pro- hibit the sale of any goods in Con- necticut produced or mined by children under 16 years of age" Committee Chairman Julius c. Stremlau, d, Meriden, said the measure provided penalty of $1,000 fine or 90 days in pail, or both, to "any person, firm or corporation offering for sale" articles produced by child labor.
 The bill came before the general assembly less than two months after it refused to ratify the federal child labor amendment and after the house passed a resolution call- ing upon congress to withdraw the present amendment and substitute one patterned after Connecticut labor laws.
 The senate had approved the fed- eral amendment but the republican controlled house turned it down. The attitude of Gov. Cross was that the amendment should not be adopted until all other avenues of control had been exhausted. It was presumed the governor favored the labor committees amendment.
 Action probably will be delayed until late in the week.

 Down at the circus grounds this afternoon, vendors were selling pink lemonade and hot roasted peanuts: acrobats and trapeze artists were go- ing through their stunts; the trained animals were performing their rou- tines; and the clowns were carrying on their hilarious antics.
 Some Played Hockey
 But Waterbury's juvenile popula- tion wasn't there, except for those who'd decided that, school board or no school board, they were going to see the circus. But the rest of the city's youngsters were listening to the teacher explain about fractions or transitive verbs. And their minds weren't on what the teacher was saying: instead they were down at the circus grounds, with the clowns and the animals, and the pairing performers, and the pink lemonade. But the youngsters were at the circus in spirit only.
 Can it be that the members of the school board have forgotten that they were kids once?
