BHVBIDQE ON 9EiD LA0 The' enator from Indiana is in tl Midst of an Extended Argument Against Child Labor. Washingto, January. 28.-Senat Beveridge occupied the attention < the senate throughout the day wil a continuation of his argument in b half of his child labor bill.- He hi but reached the legal and constit tional, 'phases of the question aft speaking for- more than four hiour and arrangement. was made wherel he will continue to-morrow. - In taking tie position that as power, Congresf* 'could 'exercise ar ;restraint it saw fit on Inter-St.a commerce, Mr. Beveridge met a fusi lade of questions by his colleague and his progress in - argument . wj slow. While lie said the power 1 regulate was absolute, he maintain( that the question of policy would-. a wdys restrain and hurtful regulation Mr.:.Beveridge stated that thre fourths of the cotton factories of ti South were opposing the bill, that t railroads of the south were opposir it and that the coal mine dperators < the south were opposing it. He pre ented an illustrative map, showir the location of the opposing indu tries, .and said that in anticipation < this weighty oppositon he should d, vote the mapor portion of his speec setting forth evidence of the deplo: able conditions lie had pictured. Th evidence lie said, was all sworn I and in the form of affidavits. Whe Mr. Beveridge made the statemel that the recently enacted child labt law of Georgia was "a dead letter, Mr. Bacon took issue with him. ,Mr. Beveridge asserted there lia been filed 3,000 applications for pei mits for child labor under the law. '"How many of them have bee granted-" asked Mr. Bacon. "All of them." Mr. Bacon then explained that ti law prohibited children under I years of age- from working after Jai nary 1, 1907. ''Yes,'' responded Mr. Beveridg, ''but there is not an inspector in t1i 1tate, and no means of enforcin that provision. What good is a Inca ure of that kind?'' The Situation of South Carolina. Senatoi- Tillman acknowledged t1i very great evil of child labor in i ftate, and asked Mr. Beveridge I submit all the evidence possible th it might be used in a crusade f< state legislation. Adding to the di: fieulty in his state, lie said, was tb Northern millionaire who came dow there, iivested his money in cotto mills, and then influenced the legi, lature against child labor laws. "The Senator is to a certain c tent, i-ight,'' interrupted Senator Ga - linger. ''There is Northern money South Carolina and God help Sout farolina if there wasn't Norther money thlere." 'Rather than have Northern mnor ey ther'e exercis'ing its lobbying -il fluence,'' reported Mr. Tillmnan,' wvould to God thme seniator and a ot hers would keep Nor'thler'nmione out of 'my state.'', Mr. Tillman added that he full apprecia ted the conditions ini h state anmd would go as far as anyon to cor'rect them. Hie believed the quo tion was one of state control rathc than Federal legislation. Sen ator' Beveridge 's position that thme powem' of congress to ena< legislation is ample, hut wvhen aske by Mr. Rayner of this power could l. exercised to absolutely prohibit con nmrce between the states, lie replie that the questioni was an imupossibl one. -" Tf you would ask me if congres could prevent entrance into lntel State commerce of a pail of mil milked from a cow by a young lad 18 years of age, I would say yes.'' ''Could you put the young ladyi jail for not being 18 years of age? asked Mir. Carmack. "In God We Trust." This is the motto which is stampe - on all our silver and gold coins. Y< it wvas not until 1864 that it became custom, mind the first coin which bm~ the motto wvas a copper two eer piece which was coined on April 2! 1864, especially to have this moti stamped upon it.
