CHILD LABOR BILL
IS DPIN SENATE
fiardwick of Georgia Leads At
tack Upon Constitutionality
of Measure.
HOLDS ISSUE FOE STATES
FRENCH CAPTURE
FLEDRY VILLAGE,
LOSE PART OF IT
(Ceatlaaed From Face One.)
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 light 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 pf congress to
regulate commerce is absolute, he
- contended,
x The bill will be kept before the
senate until passed. Thetc is no re
publican opposition.
Hardwiclc 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 five 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,
human and God-like laws for pro
tection of children as any man in this
chamber, but J say that the sole pow
er to enact auch laws is invested in
the several states of the union and not
in congress. I venture the assertion
that the state of Georgia today has
a child labor law better, fairer and
more suited to our conditions than
the statute proposed to be set up in
this bill."- ..

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug.4.--Labor

Brussels Refuses
To Pay the Tax
London, Aug. 4. The city of Brus
aels his 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
company. A serious crisis is ex
pected. . Burgomaster Lemmonier, the dis
patch adds, has aent a letter to Gen
eral von Biaaing, the German gover
nor of Belgium, flatly declining to
pay the fine. He says it was im
posed on the public because of its
patriotic sentiment and therefore is
illegal and inadmissible. ;
a brilliant action. 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.
Battle Aeroplane Busy.
"Aviation: During the night of
August 2-3 our battle aeroplanes
dropped projectiles on the stations of
Hem and Noyen. This morning an
aeroplane of the enemy dropped a
bomb on Nancy. There were no vic
tims and no damage was done. Pont-A-Mousson
also was bombed, but to
v effect"
Middies- -, ug. .1. A re
vised list of dead repotted 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 estsblished wheth
er they were in' the district when the
waters engulfed it.
It develoos that ten" members in
each of two families succumbed to the
rush of the water that carrienyaway
their homes. Reports ' this piorning
say that Bush Ferguson, his, wife and
eight cmioren, ana fortes- waiKer,
his wife an'', eight children,, are
dead.
