ming up of both the inerita and the
disadvnntnges of the proposed child
labor amendment to tho constitution
of the United Stntcs, two high school
atudenU, Murk Taylor and Walter
Durir.'in, debated the question nt the
noon luncheon meeting of tho Itotorj
club todny.
The boys represented the Order nt
the De.Molay and Mr. Taylor upheld
the affirmative in the debnto nnd Mr.
Durgnn the negative. No decision wns
given in the debnto but that tho talks
wore appreciated by tho Jlotnrinns
wns indicated by the generous op
plnuso tendered both spenkers.
The arguments for tjio nfrtrmntiva
wero based on tho need for protection
for tho new generations and the fact
was stressed that the greatest
amount of child labor illitercy and tho
greatest amount f child labor coin

it will have to be done by tho federal
government," Mr. Taylor said.
The answer of Sir. Durgnn wns
that state laws are sufficient for pro
tection, that too iiiucJi federal Inter
ference is obnoxious and not to tlie
best interests of tlie nation, and that
if the amendment passed that there
was danger of "roaring a generation

of employment to tho."o under ' tho
