Grange For
Child Labor
Amendment
Endorsement of the federal consti
tution child labor amendment Is em
bodied in a resolution passed by the
members of the Triangle grange of
Blachly. That the agrarian Interest?
are not opposed to the proposed na
tional law but are heartily in favor of
the measure is indicated by similar
action taken by other granges of the
state, according to the officials of the
Lane organization.
The following is the resolution
passed:
'KcBolved tJmt Triangle grange 533
goes on record as being in favor of
the ratification of the federal child
labor amendment. S. It. Tilson, mas
ter; Grace Taylor,1 secretary."
That the prospects are brighter for
the Oregon legislature to ratify the
amendment is Indicated by a com
munication received from William F.
Woodward, member of tho legislature
from Multnomah county. . '
Mr. Woodward states "Prospects
for ratifying of the 20th amendment
by this legislative body grow brighter
every day. It would have certainly
been defeated during the first week
of the session The doubtful ones arc,
however, rapidly changing." , " '
