" CHLDLABOR LAW TEXT BOOK'ISSUED Woman’s Committee Booklet Contradicts Claims of Amendment’s Foes. Definitely contradicting certain Statements of the opposition to the child labor amendment, and answer- ing their contentions in detail, the| 18 national organizations composing the women's committee for the chil- dren’s amendment are issuing a “rati- fication campaign text book” for use tion campaigns. The I branches of these organizations will work to send men and women to the State legislatures who are pledzed to ratification. The women's ‘“ratifiction text book” sets forth what the amend- ment is and does, the text book also emphasizing what it is not and does not do; among other points, these: The amendment is an enabling act, Tot a statute. To become effective it must be followed by a Federal sta- tute which Congress at present Is Wwithout power to enact, as demon- strated by two adverse Supreme Court decisions. It grants power to Congress here- after to make laws against the ex- ploitation of childhood at premature or_injurious In other wo it enables Congress Federal minimum standard employment of children, d by the majority expressed in Con- gress. 1t enables Congress to deal with in- terstate exploitation which State laws cannot reach; where, for instance, employers send work across State lines for children to do, or employ children who for seasonal industries om State to State. it possible for high stand- ard industries and States with good child labor laws to protect their chil- dren without the disadvantage of un- fair competition from low sta industries and ‘backward Stat Is Not Rezulatory.

Furnished Rooms EXPLORER OF ARCTIC RETURNS WITH DATA Captain Bartlett, Lieutenant of Peary, Reports to National Geographic Society. Capt. Robert' A. Bartlett, famous Arctic explorer and lleutentant of Perry on his successful dash to the pole, reported in Washington yester- day to the National Geographic So- ciety on his return from his mission to gather data in Northern waters to be used in future acrial explorations of the Arctic and the pole, Capt. Bartlett came directly to Washington after landing at San Francisco on the Bear, the historic hip, which went to the rescue of ireely and which caused concern when she was reported in the ice on her lonesome northern trip this sum- mer. Observations on the salinity of the water and the tides, the air tempera- tures and wind velocities, and, in ad- dition, many specimens of flora and fauna of far Northern waters, hith- erto unstudied, were brought to Washington for study by Capt. Bart- lett. While it will take months to work out the results of his extensive ob- servations Capt. Bartlett said today that the wird velocities did not ex- ceed 11 miles an hour, there were no storms, the temperature averaged freczing, the sun shone brightly and all conditions seemed most favorable in May and June for the launching of aircraft exploration of the million- square-mile unknown area between Point Barrow and the pole. The Bear was caught in the ice off . Lawrence Island, drifted for 47 in the ice, through Bering Strait, into the Arctic Ofean, out of sight of land and finally landed in Kotzebue Sound. G. 0. P.
