STATE SENATORS
REFUSE TO RATIFY
STATE HOUSE, SALEM, Ore.,
Feb. 17. The Oregon legislature linn
refused to ratify the child labor
amendment to tile federal constitu
tion. This was by n vote of 20 to
10 in the senate, lntc yesterdny, on the
Zimmerman joint resolution.
The defeat followed a fight over
two proposals. The first was over
house bill 420, which proposed to re
fer the question to the people for a
vote of recommendation on which the
legislature might act on the resolu
tion, but the bill failed by a vote of
IS to 12. The second question fought
out was over the resolution itself.
The vote on the ratification resj
luti"n was ns follows:
For ratification Bnnka, llutler,
fanner, Staples, Tooze and Ziromer
num. Agiiinvt Heals. Brown, Clark,
forbett, linvis, Dennis, Dunn, Eddy,
Fisk, (iorland, llnre, Johnson, I.l
Kolletie, Mnglndry, Ititnrr, Strayer,
Tiiylor. I'pton, Muser.
(In the bill to refer the epiestio!!
to the pcple the vote was.
For mibmission Banks,
f lark,
llennis. Harp. Joseph,
Mnglndry. Hitner, SlopVs,
I'pton and Muser.
Aninst Iteuls, Brown,

Bulle'-,
Ci,rsiier, Corhett. Imvis. Dunn, KJi'v,
FUk, (ierlaml. Hall. Johnson. Klep
per. I.n Follotte, Miller, Taylor.
Tome, Zimmerman.
Senator Eddy attacking both the
bill nnd the resolution, asserted that
to refer the question to the people
would be a sidestepping of duty by
the legislature, and he branded as
absurd the idea of referring It to the
people since failure of the amend
ment before the legislatures of the
United States was already assured.-
Eddy emphasized the hardship
which the amendment would work on
the farms. He admitted that one ele
ment of people behind the bill was
philanthropic and humane in its in
tentions, and had in mind the welfare
of the child, particularly the poor
children or those of worthless par
ents. However, he accused the Amer
ican Federation of Labor with being
behind the measure for selfish reas
ons, mainly to remove the competition
of young persons in labor.
