Prison Goods Ruling Seen Opening Way
To Congressional Action ON Child Labor

States and this would be very difficult.
Many economists and not few
political leaders, however, insist that
the recent decision does actually pro-
vide a new way to enact legislation
which has heretofore been blocked as
unconstitutional. Prison-made goods,
they remind us, are socially and eco
nomically undesirable. Even though
harmless in themselves, the result of
dealing in them is socially harmful
and therefore may be prohibited from
interstate commerce. Why not, there
fore, should not the same principle be
applied to goods made by child labor
or under other unfair labor conditions?
The subject is more than in the air,
as Maj. Berry recently expressed. 1t
is coming down to the solid grounds of
practical realization. Maj Berry, it
will be remembered, is the Presidents
co-ordinator for industrial co-opera-
ton. In a summary of proposals for
legislation on industrial matters which
he recently submitted to the Chief
Executive to aid in carrying into effect
the recommendation of the Council
for Industrial Progress he insists that
"sweated labor and the employment
of children in industry, when viewed
from any point of view, constitutes
unfair methods of competition in COM
merce."

great Justice Harlan, then Senator
and the chairman Of the District
Committee in Congress. until her 85th
year, Miss Anthony made journeys to
Washington to attend the annual
convention of the National American
Woman's Suffrage Association.
One of the greatest public demon
strations of the suffrage cause was
the suffrage parade along Fifth ave-
nue., in New York City, in 1914. A
delegation from the District of CO.
lumbia included the writer, the late
Ellen Spencer Mussey and other prom
inent women.
Historic Gavel Was Gift.
The writer, founder and president
of the Susan B. Anthony League, was
a delegate to the victory convention,
held in Chicago in 1920, and at that
time was presented with the historic
gavel Of Miss Anthony, gift from
Lucy Anthony. This gavel had been
used by Miss Anthony in opening all
the conventions of the National Amer
ican Woman's Suffrage Association
and the many meetings over which she
presided during the World Fair in
Chicago in 1898. It was also used by
Elizabeth Cady Stanton to open the
first great International Congress of
Women, held here in 1883, and by May
Wright Sewall at the memorable
Congress of Representative Women,
held In Chicago in 1898.
In 1888 the sculptor, Adelaide
johnson. life patroness Of the Inter-
national Council Of Women and
member Of the Susan B. Anthony
Foundation, took the historic gavel
to be used at the National Council
of Women's Congress at the Century
Of Progress Exposition in Chicago.
Another priceless possession of the
foundation was the hfe-sizee portrait
of Susan B. Anthony which was pre-
sented to the National League Of
Woman Voters in 1882. The writer
quotes from an article written by the
late Mamie Lancaster, club editor Of
The Star, in 1925:
'The portrait of Susan B. Anthony
painted by Jerome K. Uhl and valued
at $4,000 may one day be enshrined In
q memorial temple. One day, two

Buenos Aires Treaties Giving Impetus
To Cause of Moral Disarmament

adds that the inclusion of themes
relative to the benefits of peace and
the pacific solution of international
controversies should be encouraged
by the governments of America, and
that these should avoid any radio
broadcasting which may disturb
peaceful relations or wound national
sensibilities of listeners in another
country. For obvious reasons, the
United States delegation made the
reservation that action under these
resolutions must be limited by its
own internal legislation.
Other resolutions unanimously ap-
proved by the Buenos Aires conference
which may be listed under the heading
of moral disarmament through cul-
tural interchange are those dealing
with the promotion of national COM
mittees of intellectual cooperation,
the creation of special American
libraries, the encouragement of inter-
American photographed exchanges,
the establishment of Society of
American Friendship" to be composed
of the most representative men Of
each country, the teaching of civics,
the cooperation of private organiza-
tions in the work of peace and the
meeting of periodical inter-American
conferences on education.
AS if all these written instruments
were not sufficient to convey the i'm
portance it attached to the cause of
moral disarmament, the Buenos Aires
conference passed another resolution
specifically recommending to the
Governing Board of the Pan American
Union that it give preferential atten-
ton in the programs of future Ameri-
can international conferences to the
study of all available means intended
to promote moral disarmament among
the nations of the New World.

BY HARDEN COLFAX.

A possible new way to enact Fed
eral legislation, which, when attempted
by other methods, has now been de-
clared unconstitutional, is foreseen as
a result of the Supreme Courts recent
decision in upholding the so-called
Ashurst Summers act dealing with the
interstate transportation of prison.
made goods. AL sorts Of legislation
dealing with social questions now
seems within the scope of congress
sional action.
Immediately after this decision was
rendered, several bills were introduced
in the House Of Representatives, and,
in the New York State Legislature. a
measure was brought up to prohibit
the sale in the State of goods produced
In other States by child labor. The
author of this bill believes child labor
may be entirely eliminated by this
means.
Senator O'Mahoney of wyoming,
author of the Federal incorporation
bill, has declared that. in his opinion,
the decision in the Ashurst-Sumners
case points the way for immediate
legislation by Congress, without con-
stitutional amendment, to regulate
minimum wages, maximum hours and
to ban child labor" Several other
advocates of social and labor legisla-
ton have expressed themselves in
much the same way.
Similar Laws Seen.
The Supreme Court decision in ques-
ton sustains the law which forbidS the
transportation of prison-made goods
into any State which forbids their
sale. The comment of Congressional
leaders, and very generally that of
the press, is to the effect that this de-
cision opens the way for similar laws
applying to other conditions OF un-
healthy or unfair practices in COM
merce. 1t will be remembered that the
court barred prison-made goods from
interstate commerce even though they,
in themselves. are not harmful.
It will be interesting to summarize
Just how these comments set forth the
opposing opinions in this far-reaching
question. The opponents of any ex-
tension by the Federal Government Of
such control over commerce. based on
methods of production, contend that
the action of the Supreme Court is de-
pendent on the elements" in each
case, and that the tribunal might take
an entirely different view Of other
legislation modelled on the prison-made
goods law but under different circum-
stances. Furthermore, they doubt
whether this principle can be applied to
laws fixing minimum wages.
The court, it will be remembered,
was careful to point, out that laws OF
the prison-goods type can be used
only to bar goods which the State
itself has q constitutional right to pro-
hibit. The Federal court in New York
last Spring decided that State has
no right to enact q minimum-wage
law. Therefore, the Supreme Court
would not be likely to approve a law
which aimed to prevent goods so pro-
duced from entering State. Finally,
they say, the situation would demand
the passage Of similar laws tn all the

excuse for those abominable Highland
clearances which disgraced the early
years of the nineteenth century.
Led by George Leveson-G Cover, the
English husband Of the Countess Of
Sutherland, the Highland landlords
agreed that sheep we're more impor-
tant than men. Twenty-Five thous-
and crofters were evicted from their
holdings before 1920, and 10000 fol-
lowed them in the years between 1881
and 1881.

constantly stressed as evidence Of
Scottish energy and power of adapta-
ton. But it is doubtful If the first
generation of colonists recognized their

Later, when sheep became unprofit-
able, came the deer forests, and from
a pastoral country the Highlands were
transformed into a playground for
rich men. It remains so to this day.

For the capital Of every country is the

iment of future generations in con-
for1nity with ideals of peace and
friendly collaboration with all peoples,
and thus keep them from being con-
taminated by the preaching of inter-
national hatreds, antagonisms and
prejudices" the resolution emphasizes
the fact that well conceived patri t.
ism, historical truth, the glorification
of national achievements and the
homage due to the heroes of each
country do not require that public
school textbooks keep alive the con-
troversies between research workers,
alter facts established by critical in

that the governments of the American
countries seek to avoid the exhibition
of theatrical productions and motion
pictures which represent the defense
Of aggressive armaments, or which
offend the natural feelings of other
countries, or disturb good relations
between peoples, or incite hatred
against foreigners. Another, entitled

armament" applies the same prin-
ciples to the field of radio, stressing
that radio broadcasting can play
great part in the service of moral
disarmament if it raises the intellec-
tual level Of listeners and gives them

countries. thus combating two great
factors which make for isolation and
