i i i ‘THILD LABOR BILL _posed Hardwick of Georgia Leads At- tack Upon Jonstitutionality of Measure. HOLDS ISSUE FOR STATES Washington, Aug. 4—The child la- bor bill, on which debate began in the senate yesterday, was up again today with southern senators ready to start a fight on its constitutionality. Sen- ator Robinson, presenting the meas- ure yesterday, argued that scrutiny | had showed the bill constitutional, be- cause the regulation of child labor was proposed through prevention of interstate shipment of child labor products. The power of congress to regulate commerce is absolute, he contended. The bill will be kept before the senate until passed. There is no re- publican oipasition. Hardwick of Georgia led off attack on the constitutionality of tne measure, contending the right to en- act such legislation was vested only in the states. The Georgia senator also pointed out that the senate bill in his judgment far exceeds the limits set down by congress and the su- preme court in the lottery statute, which proponents of the measure set up in defense of its constitutionality and after which it was patterned. “The ‘bill as it passed the house,” said Senator Hardwick,” would ex- clude from interstate commerce the specific product of child labor, The senate amendment not only would ex- clude from commerce the direct prod- uct of child labor, but also any other commodity produced by any man. or corporation who does not live up to a rule of civil conduct to be laid' down by congress. “I do not wish to be misunderstood in this matter,” said he. “I am as thoroughly as earnestly sincire in fa- vor of enactment of just, reasonable, humane and God-like laws for pro- tection of children as any man in this chamber, but ] say that the sole pow- er to enact such laws is invested in the several states of the union and not in copgress. I venture the assertion that the 'state of Georgia today has a child labor law better, fairer and mflm‘;ggd to om‘-‘ cangitlonl than e, roposed to be set up in this B < y Philadelphia Car Men ~ Want More Wages G % . ‘Philadelphia, Pa, Aug 4—Labor leaders are canvassing the Qtreet rail- way employes of this city with. the view of calling a strike if requests for an increase in the maximum wa- s of conductors and: motormen rom 31 cents an hour to 40 ¢ents are not complied with.

Aug. 4—The city of Brus- sels s refused to pay the fine of 5,000,000 marks imposed by the Ger- mans in consequence of the demon- stration which took place at the Bel- gian capital on July 21, the national fete day, says a dispatch from The Hague to the Exchange Telegraph pmp:ny, A serious crisis is ex- pected. ..

The number of prisoners taken in the course of this action and so far counted exceeds 650. This brings up to 1,750 the to- tal number of unwounded prisoners taken by us on the right bank of the Meuse since August 1. “About the same time we deliv- ered in the region of Chenois a sharp attack, which enabled us to recover the greater portion of the ground lost by us the day before yesterday. “On the rest of the front there was intermittent cannonading.

Toentr “ight - Do ' oo Missing, 1 _ Burst, Middiesw - ug, 4—A rte- vised list of dead reported today from Blair's Creek, in the Barren Creek re- gion of northern Tennessee, shows that the cloudburst which visited the little sparsely populated country Wednesday night claimed a total of twenty-eight dead. Ten others are reported as missing, although it has not been definitely established wheth- er they were in the district when the waters engulfed it. It develops that ten members in each of two familfes succumbed to the rush of the water that carried.away their homes.
