BORAH URGES NEW CHILD LABOR BAN Offers Revised Amendment Lowering Age Limit From 18 to 14. The Senate was confronted today with & proposal to push for a new constitutional amendment to do away with child labor. Offered yesterday by Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, the amendment would empower Congress “to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under 14 years of age.” Present Age Limit 18. ‘The proposed amendment already before the States puts the age limit at 18, and this, it has been contended, is %0 high as to set up a barrier against ratification. It has been pending 13 years, Borah’s action followed recommen- dation by Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana for legislation on child labor along the lines of the Cooper- Hawes act regulating goods produced by convict labor. Both Borah and Wheeler are oppos- ing President Roosevelt’s court pro- gram, contending it is the wrong way to approach social reforms. Only Change Is in Age. ‘The Borah amendment is the old child labor amendment simply with the age change. It reads: Section 1. The Congress shall have the power to limit, regulate and pro- hibit the labor of persons under 14 years of age. Section 2 The power of the several States 1s unimpaired by this article except-that the operation of State laws :should be suspended to the extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the Conszress.” .

H. La Guardia, whose re- cent attacks on Reichsfuehrer Hitler caused an international stir. “La Guardia is a disgrace to the city of New York, a man who in his attack on Hitler attempts to create hate and creates danger of war,” Kuhn said. . 80,000 Ununiformed.

I would like our men to join, of course.
