Mrs. Edwin E. Brown, vice president of the club, presided in the absence of the president, Mrs. Walter Benson.

Patronesses for th econcert were Presi- Walter Dill Scott, Dean Mrs. Wigmore, Dean and Mrs. Richardson, woman's mittee that has been working upon this subject for so many years. Mrs. Arthur Cushman and Mrs. Syl- vanus G. Levy were the next speakers who brought out the points which are being upheld by those opposing the measure. Both Mrs. Levy and Mrs. Cushman explained first that they were thoroughly in sympathy with the bill but had been asked to present the oppo- sition, as any organization working for the bill must know what it has to meet in the opposition. That the meeting was heartily in sympathy with the amend- ment was shown by the amused smiles with which the audience listened to sev- eral of these arguments, in spite of the ability and earnestness of the presenta- tion. Mrs. Cushman said that the or- ganized opposition consisted almost en- tirely of manufacturing associations, to whose interests a continuance of Child Labor is desirable and who appear to be hiding behind the states rights argu- ment because they know that a federal Child Labor law would operate to do away with an exploitation of children in manufacturing concerns. Mrs. Cush- man listed the organizations that have gone on record as opposed to the amend- ment and explained of whom the organi- zations were composed. Mrs. Levy said that the weapons most feared by the op- position were the women's organizations of the country which have come to be, in recent years, a very definite political problem. Miss Ruth Matz concluded, bringing out the arguments in favor of the bill. She explained the necessity of federal amendment in this matter because of the interstate spreading of the evils of child labor; because after years and years of state 'handling of the matter, the states have proved inadequate, and states with good laws found themselves helpless to protect themselves against neighboring states" with poor laws; because when the federal government has attempted to leg- islate so as to protect states from each other once, by using its interstate com- merce power, and once by using its tax power, both laws were declared uncon- stitutional by the United States Supreme court. At the close of the child labor dis- cussion, Mrs. Walter F. Dodd.gave her fourth lesson in citizenship: was "The Illinois Ballot." the attempted changes ballot which is now few The subject She told of to simplify the so complicated that people can know anything about BEGINNING SUNDAY January 18 Our Sunday hours will be 9 A.
