Representatives of the 25 organiza

bor met this week in Washington
and agreed to have the amendment
introduced into both houses of con
gress during the coming session.
The amendment this year is drafted
in a fashion different from other
amendments, in that it is an enabling
act only and not a direct prohibition.
It permits congress to suit child lahbr
legislation to the needs of the times.
The amendment reads:
"The congress shall have power to
limit and to prohibit the labor of
persons under 18 years of age. and
power is also reserved to the several
states to limit and to prohibit such
labor in any way which does not
lessen any limitation of such labor
or the extent of any prohibition there
of by congress."

meeting, has Increased to an alarm
