Kentucky Ratifies Child
Labor Amendment

Good news from Kentucky. The legis-
luture Of thdt State hos ratified the Child
Labor Amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition. This progressive action raises the
list OF rutifYing States to twenty-five and
reduces TO eleven the number from which
favorable action is required to make the
amendment q part of our fundamental
low.
The ratification by the Kentucky legis-
luture followed an appeal from Gov. A.
B.. Chandler. who urged the legislature
TO place Kentucky in the ranks Of the
States, twenty-four in number, which had
ulreddY expressed themselves in favor
Of Federal action as the only effective
method to wipe out the curse Of child
labor exploitation by employers whose
sole god is mdximum profits regardless
Of the slavery which the pursuit of this
uim imposes on children chained to the
wheels of industry.
The campaign for the adoption of the
amendment by the Kentucky legislature
wus backed by the Kentucky State Fed
Grafton Of Labor and supported by the
American Federation Of Labor.
Inc toXt OF Inc proposed Chlld Labor
Amendment TO the Constitution Of the
United States reads as follows:
Section THE Congress shull
have power to limit, regulate, and
prohibit the labor Of persons under
eighteen years Of age.
Section 2-The power Of the v
erul States is unimpdired by this
article except thdt the operation Of
State laws shall be suspended to the
extent necessary to give effect to leg
isldtion enacted by the Congress-"
The favorable action by the Kentucky
Legislature Leaves the legislatures Of the
following nineteen non-TutifYing States
in session. from which it is believed the
remaining eleven necessary notifications
will be secured this year: New Mexico,
Nevada. South Cdrolind, New York, Tex
as, Nebraska, Maryland, Connecticut,
Florida. Massachusetts, North Carolina,
Rhode Island. South Dakota, Vermont,
Tennessee. Delaware. Georgia. Kansas,
Missouri.

This movement assumed q ndtlOnUl
character in 1885 when the Congress OF
the United States passed the Social Sc
curity Act levying q Federal tax or pdY-
rolls to compensate unemployed work
ers in states complying with the provi-
sions Of the Federal law.
According to the Social Security Board.
thirtYfive States and the District Of Co
lumbid have dlreadY enacted unemploY-
ment compensation laws in accordance
with the requirements Of the Federal Act.
Here is the list:
Alabama, Arizona, California. Coloru-
do, Connecticut, District Of Columbid.
Idaho, Indiana. Iowa. Kentucky Louisi-
ana, Moine. Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, minnesota, Mississippi. New
Hampshire. New Jersey, New Mexico,
New York, North Carolina. Ohio. Okla
homu, Oregon, Pennsylvania. Rhode
Island, South Cdrolind. South Dakota,
Tennessee. Texas. Utah. Vermont, Vir-
ginid, West Virginia, Wisconsin.
In commenting on this remarkable
achievement. John G. Winunt. chairmm
Of the Social Security Board. sold:
The unemployment compensd-
ton laws enacted by thirty-five
States and the District Of Columbid
cover some seventeen million of our
working people. When these laws
90 into effect. every one Of these mil
lions will be entitled as q right to
regular payments during involun-
tory unemployment. These payments
though for q limited period only. ore
an essential first line Of defense
against widespread unemploY-
ment.
The goal of the American Federation
Of Labor and other progressive organize
tons is to secure adequate unemploY-
ment compensation for the workers in
every State. The following thirteen States
have not yet enacted unemployment in
surunce laws: Arkansas. Delaware.
Florida. Georgia, Illinois. Kansas. Mis-
souri,, Montana. Nebraska. Nevada,
North Ddkotd. Washington. Wyoming.
With the rapid progress made during
1885 dnd 1886 in providing unemploY-
ment compensation for the jobless in
thirtY-five States. organized labor hopes
and believes that within q short period
these remaining thirteen States will enact
legislation giving this im~perutively nee
essurY protection to those whom employ
ers have thrown into the workless urmy.

The Walsh-H ealey Act and
Young Workers

The determination of low-Wdge Ion
lecturers to coin profits out OF young
workers despite prevailing public opin-
ion ond statute law against such q policy
is clearly indicated by the action OF the
Cotton Textile Institute. representing
those who the cotton textile indus
try, demanding that the provision Of the
Wdlsh-HeuleY Public Contracts Act bon
ming the employment by Government
contractors of girls under the age of Is
years be not enforced for q definite
period.
Acting upon the request Of the textile
manufacturers. the Public Contracts
Board. set up by Secretary Of Labor Per
kins to establish rules for the enforce
ment of the Act, adopted an order lost
September exempting female workers
under eighteen from the operation Of the
law for three months. Recently the Cot
ton Textile Institute asked that this ex-
emption be extended for another three
months.
AT the hearing held by the Public Con
tracts Board TO consider the further ex-
emption Of child labor contractors. Fronk
Morrison, secretdrY-treusurer OF the
American Federation Of Labor, definite
lY opposed the request. Answering the
stock argument that enforcing the Act
would require employers to discharge
many girl workers and thus cause dis
tress, Mr.. Morrison said he realized it
would create q temporary unpleasant
financial situation in some instances, but
insisted in his opposition on general
principles to any exemption Of the type
urged by the textile manufacturers.
This low Wds enacted to prevent
suffering Of employees" he declared.
1t is the one low which labor wanted
and demanded. and one which will
help us in our fight to prevent the re-
turn Of child labor"
Relative to the point raised by Choir
mdn Frank HedlY of the Public Contracts
Board thut some Government contractors
with union agreements specifying the As
hour week were refusing to bid on Gov
vernment work because of the 40-hour
week provision Of the Wulsh-IIeuleY Low,
Mr.. Morrison replied:
Notwithstanding union contracts,
the Government is justified in enforc-
ing the 40-hour week"
The unputriotic position Of the textile
manufacturers. who insist on exploiting
girl workers under l8 years of age, was
revealed in the statement by Bedtrice
Mcconnell of the United States Children's
Bureau that approximately 5000 girls
covered by the exemption were at work
in the cotton textile industry. The Blu
reuu's survey, she said, showed thdt "a
number Of these girls were found to be
working straight eight-hour shifts with
little or no opportunity to rest or eat"
And the wdgesl According to Miss Nc
Cornell the employers paid these girls
on average weekly wage Of Sl0.22. the
hourly rate dpproximdting 30 cents in the
South and 32K cents in the North, with
Learners" and workers having lower
ratings receiving considerably less"
For three months following the going
into effect Of the WdlshlHedleY Act con-
tractors bidding on Government work
were permitted under the exemption by
the Public Contracts Board to employ
young girls for the long hours ond dis
tressingly low wages cited by Miss Nc
connell in her report.
