Unless a number of members of
the. house of " representatives
change their minds, the 38rd ses
sion of the -legislature 4 will not
ratify the federal child labor am
endment, it is evident from a poll
of members taken Tuesday morn
ing in which 29 of the 60 members
of the lower body are opposed, 13
in favor of the amendment , and
four undecided. The poll was, not
quite complete, but more than 50
per cent of the solons were can
vassed. Opponents of the amend
ment claim to have 35 negative
votes. . : r
Exact . wording of. the amend
ment, which is - expected to
develop into one of the hot ses
sions of . the assembly before Ore
gon either ratifies or rejects the
amendment, is as follows:
"Sec.: 1. 1 The congress shall
have" power to limit, regulate and
prohibit the labor of persons un
der 18 years of age. '
- - "Sec 2. The power of the seve
ral states is unimpaired by this
article except that the operation
of state laws shall be suspended
io - the extent necessary to give
effect to legislation enacted by the
congress." X "; - '
The amendment was adopted "by
congress" April 26, 1924, and by
the senate June 2. ' Feeling the
need of a national child labor law.
On September 1C, 1916, congresi
passed & child labor act which th
United States supreme court, it
June. 1918, said -was unconstitu
tional. In February, a9 19, con
gress faassed a second child label
act .which was. declared unconstl?
tutional la May, 1922.' , Following
the will of the people, congress
then adopted, the amendment that
it might have the power necessary
to pass a national child labor act
-which would be constitutional.
" Each of the 48 states has re
ceived the proposal adopted by
congress and, If 36 of the 'states
ratjfyit it will . become the 20th
amendment to the constitution.
