HAPPY DAY FOR
LEHMAN

This is one of the happiest days
of my life" the governor said when
he was notified of the Senate's ac-
ton. Il have been fighting for this
thing since l was a young man. l
rejoice that the struggle for ratifi-
cation of the Child Labor Amend
ment is about ended in this state"
Ratification legislation was intro
duced this week in Nebraska's one
house legislature. A vote at an early
date is predicted.
The measure lost out in the House
Of the North Carolina legislature.
But a switch of four or five votes
would have saved it. Such a close
margin there is considered remark
able as the opposition has been over
whelming, heretofore.
AS a matter of fact, there is a
marked change throughout the South
in regard to ratification. The people
are waking up to the fact that South
ern children have been the principal
victims of the child labor evil.
A real fight is on in Tennessee.
Friends of the amendment are hope
full of winning in spite of the fact
that Governor Gordon Browning is
leading the opposition forces.
Organized labor spokesman in
Tennessee sent a ringing appeal
this week to all members of the
legislature asking them Ito de-
liver the children of America
from cradle peonage" by voting
for ratification.
The amendment, this appeal point
ed out, would "give Congress the
right to protect the children of this
country from the greed and avarice
of INSCRIPTIONS employers who
think more Of the profits they can
make from the labor of children
than they do of the welfare of the
nation"
Organized labor is ! leading the rat
ification fight in all of the states
where approval of the amendment
has not yet been voted. The League
of Women Voters and other women's
groups are also doing heroic work.
BISHOP BACKS
AMENDMENT
In many localities prominent Cath
ole churchmen are actively crusad-
ing for ratification. Bishop Robert
c. Lucey of the Amarillo, Texas, do
cese, recently declared at an annual
banquet of the Knights of Columbus
that:
The only people who oppose
ratification of the Child Labor
Amendment are those who are
opposing it because of their own
private interests or because they
are badly m~isinfOrmed as to the

Significant progress was made this
week toward ratification of the Fed

Nevada, where the legislators have
been flooded with tons of propa-
ganda against the measure, swung
into line, leaving ratification by only
10 more states necessary before the
amendment becomes part of the U.
S. Constitution.
The vote in the Nevada assembly
was 30-to-8. The measure had pre-
viously passed the state Senate.
Seventeen of the 43 legislatures
now in session are in states which
have not yet voted ratification and
some warm battles are on to put
the measure through.

 As an example he stated that now all sewer jobs are listed under one project number, this arrangement facilitating bookkeeping work and doing away with what used to be Q cumbersome transfer business.
 At one time, when all sewer proJ- ects had separate listings in New Haven, If the local engineer wished to make @ few transfers from ono job to another the men would nave to wait until the transfer slips wero sent on from New Haven. On one occasion last year there was a wait of more than two weeks for transfer slips, during which time the men involved were not getting paid.
 It Is hoped that eventually the Waterbury set-up will be reduced to an even dozen project listings. This arrangement will not, however, at- feet the number of actual jobs in operation. This new arrangement 1t was also pointed out this morn- ing, does not have any connection with the white collar projects which are in operation throughout the state.

REGISTRATIONS in The
CCC CAMPS INCREASING

Resignation of young men in the
Civilian Conservation Corps have been
increasing rapidly in recent months.
This has been largely due to the fact
that a great many of the CCC boys
have found employment in pri-
vate industry. In the cities there has
been a noticeable decrease in the num-
Der of youth pan-handling, and on the
down-and-out lists of social service re-
lief organizations. Reports from the
highways show remarkable decreases
in the number of hitchhikers. I'm
doubleday the official reports are war
ranted in claiming that the CCC boys
are faring much better than year or
two ago, and that the plan has Civ
en- excellent results. Those who have
to search hardest for good word for
the New Deal usually turn to the CCC
and give it their praise.
