WHEELER SEEKS | ACTION ON BILL ON GHILD LABOR
Campaign for Federal Law Is Tangled in Battle Over Supreme Court.
By HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 13.— The campaign for a Federal child-labor law was tangled up today in the Supreme Court reorganization battle.
Senator Wheeler (D. Mont.), author of the new bill and leader of the anti-Administration forces in the Court fight, indicated his intention of getting quick action on ‘the proposal to bar child-made goods from interstate commerce. Hearings before the Interstate Commerce Committee, of which Senator Wheeler is chairman, developed several things: 1. Opposition from pro-Adminis-tration Senators, led by Senator Barkley (D. Ky.), who expressed fear that the bill if passed would “lull the people”. into believing the child-labor amendment to the Constitution is unnecessary.

A belief in some quarters that the Wheeler group is pushing this legislation to remove some of the

Lovell, of the Railroad Firemen, who opposed the bill, and E. J. Manion, president of the Railroad Telegraphers, who said he hoped the committee could work out something to end child labor. Senator Wheeler disclosed that no effort was made to include agricultural labor in the scope of the measure, lest this cause farm Congressmen to oppose it. He de~ fended at length parental employment of children on farms.
Barred From Commerce
The main provision of the bill as introduced by Mr. Waeeler and Senator Johnson (D. Colo.)—the section barring child-made goods from. gommeree—is similar to the
