FALSE STORIES HOLD UP CHILD LABOR ACTION Untrue Propaganda Blamed for Delay in Ratifying Amendment. £>/ S*rif>pt-Untcnr4 Sr tr *),'i prr AH Hit*'*, WASHINGTON, Feb. I.—False propaganda attacking the Child Labor Amendment as conceived under Soviet influence is being given much of the blame here for this week's reverses in the ratification drive among 24 state Legislatures. Friends of the amendment were quick to refute the widely spread tales. Li ted here as chief propagandist is a -committee for the protection of child, family, school and church.” organzed by Sterling Edmunds, St. Louis lawyer. Out of 50 names of this committee listed in a Kentucky paper, 19 are found to be members of the -Sentinels of the Republic.” and three to owners of the Woman Patriot Publishing Cos. The Sentinels and Woman Patriot opposed the maternity and infancy act. The Woman Patriot fought women's suffrage. According to Norman Hapeood. the "Sentinels” group is “apparently financed by business interests” and is out to defeat “progressive industrial legislation” by pleading states’ rights. P VU started in 1922 by the late Louis A. Coolidge of Boston, treasurer of the United Shoe Machinery Cos. Mr Coolidge appeared in Washington in 1924 to protest not only the child labor amendment but also women's suffrage and federal income tax measures. In a widely quoted pamphlet reprinting his adress last year before the Sons of the Revolution in St. Louis, Mr. Edmunds assailed the child labor amendment as having barn written by the late Mrs. Florence Kelley Wischcnewetzky, Anna Louise Strong and others he sought to paint as radicals and pacifists. These also were described as having backed formation of the U. S. Children's Bureau. Records here, however, disclosed that both the child labor a mend - ment and the children's bureau were rradlrd under the most conservative auspices. The amendment was fram'd by a group of constitutional lawyers including former Senator

George Wharton Pepper TR., Pa ), the late Senator Thomas Walsh <D., Mont.). ex-Senator Samuel Shortridge <R„ Calif.), who introduced it in the Senate, and Rep. I. M. Foster of Ohio, who fathered it in the House. It passed Congress overwhelmingly. Advocates of tne amendment still are hopeful of ratification in 1935. They cite favorable action by both houses of Wyoming’s Legislature and by Nevada’s lower house, and a move to reconsider unfavorable action in Utah's lower house. Only 15 states are now needed, and states of the West and South are looked toward for favorable action. In Indiana, Kansas and Nebraska, the American Legion is particularly active in behalf of the measure.

PARI-MUTUELS ENDANGERED BY DOG RACE BILL State Agricultural Board Backs Act Favoring Horses Only. BY ARCH STEINEL Times Staff Writer Dog racing may doom any possibilitv of the passage of a measure to legalize pari-mutuel betting in Indiana.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

the State Board of Agriculture, who back the horse race bill to the exclusion of the dogs, that injection of the dog measure alone will serve to kill the success of a pari-mutuel bill in the House. The horse race measure, despite administration backing, is not expected to muster an overwhelming vote. “It’ll be close when it’s brought to a vote and we may get whipped,” one advocate of the pari-mutuel bill declared. Efforts to line up Republican members of the House in favor of the agricultural board's bill has resulted in only five or six Represent atives assuring a "yes” vote on the measure. This is a gain over the vote in the last legislature on the Republican side of the House. Leaders on the Democratic House side are having difficulty bringing those favoring both dogs and horses to accept a bill excluding the dogs. Representatives from counties bor-

dering neighboring states with large cities are proponents of a bill to permit dog racing as well as running horses. It is conceded that if the committee reports out a bill permitting both dog and horse racing that It will meet with defeat, as the agricultural board will swing the administration support in an effort to kill the bill. It is the view of some representatives that the dog-race measure is really a "sleeping dog” ready for the kill of the horse-race measure and that it has the backing of horserace promoters in Chicago fearing a north Indiana track. In turn, it also serves as a legislative block against a pari-mutuel bill and is not objectionable to church interests as leng as it stirs up strife against the passage of any measure legalizing betting in this state.
