The Amendment

The Child Labor Amendment (TIME, Jan. 5), after successive rejections by three states, at last received another ratification. California was the donor. The State Senate voted 36 to 3 in favor of the amendment; the Assembly voted 69 to 9. So California and Arkansas now stand together, two champions of the amendment against three rejectors. If the amendment is to be added to the constitution, 34 other states must ratify. If the amendment is to be defeated, ten other states must reject it.
