Che Casver Daily Critune CHILD LABOR FIGHT TO WAX WARM IN THE LEGISLATURES OF MANY STATES, iS BELIEF By HARDEN COLFAX (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The opening guns.of the next great leg: {alative fight between capital and la- bor the far-flung contest of the pro- pesed twentieth amendment to the constitution will flash within. the next thirty days and the great cam- paign for which both sides have been preparing for a year, will be definitely on. It will be fought not in Washington but before the legis latures of 38 states which will con- vene next month and the battle promises to be one of the hardest in the age-old conflict. Shall congress be given the power to “limit, regulate and prohibit” the labor of persons under 18 years of age? In a nutshell, that is the ts- sue. ‘The question has been submit- ted by congress to the states as the proposed twentieth amendment. Its fate will be determined before the rores bloom again. Capital and its alles ere lined up in opposition; la- bor and its allies are pressing the fight for ratification. If 36 legisla- tures ratify, labor wins; if 13 legis. latures reject, to capital goes the victory. Four legislatures have acted. Arkansas has ratified. Georgia and North Carolina have rejected. Louisiana has postponed its action indefinitely. And in Massachusetts, a popular referendum last election day buried the amendment under a ne 4 Lockhart ht WORLAND, Wyo., The session of he district court which had been = ‘ot to start December 15 has been ne vostponed until after the first of the x rear at which time the jury cases in ae Washakie county will be tried.

Advocates of the !measure have not given up hope of ratification in Massachusetts, j Battle lines for the fight have formed and printed matter for and against the proposal has ggne into the mails by the ton since election day. Much of this has been from Washington, where the League of Women Voters is waging a spirited campaign for the measure and its opponents aro replying, letter for letter, with their printed arguments. In New York, the National Child Labor Commission, of which Owen Lovejoy is the head, has been as- sisting in the fight for ratification. Advocates of the measure include the American Federation of Labor and many labor organizations; the National Consumers’ League and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. Scores, perhaps hundreds of organizations holding membership in theee and other associations have endorsed the amendment. Argument for the amendment centers largely in the National Child Labor Commission and the League of Women Voters. Every argument in favor of the measure which bas occurred to the leaders of these organizations have been given th Tablespoons full rdaina a Coffee” ‘Xeen supplemented by the efforts of workers in the field and speakers are out in the sections where the {ght promises to be hottest. © ewAgainst_ these efforts there has been drawn up an imposing array of business and agricultural organiza- tions.
