Senate Vote Confirms Child Labor Act Defeat Wilder Opposed to Constitutional Amendment, but Casts Ballot for Public Hearing on Measure--Roll Call Defeats Proposal--Action on Tuesday. (By Telegram Staff Reporter.) HARTFORD, Jan.

of the Child Labor Amendment was sealed today Insofar as the Senate la concerned, when a motion of Senator Joseph M. Tone, of New Haven, to reconsider yesterday's action making the Congressional i resolution for adoption thd order of business for Tuesday was defeat- ed 20 to 11 on a roll call vote. Among these voting for reconsideration with a view to opening the question to public hearing In committee was Senator Frank Wilder, of Bridgeport, who declared that although not In favor of the he was opposed to shutting oft public hearing on it. Senators Howard S. Challenger and William A.

Redden, of Bridgeport, voted to sustain the previous action. Those voting for reconsideration were: Senators Wilder, Poty, Mer- rltt, Ford, G. E. Hall, Tone. Child, Howe, Ula'keslee, LaFranoe, and Wolcott.

Oipposed were: Challenger Redden, Griffin, Smith. Meech, K. F. Halt, Golden, Brigham, Woodruff. Mitchell, Cronln Rabbins, Stiaw, Ptaitt, Gregory, Keneally, Butler.

Indications are that proponents of the amendment will make a fight In the House to have the ratifying resolution referred to committee, to open the question tc public hearing. Canvass of the members, however, Indicates an overwhelming majority against amendment, although it Is possible that the matter of opening question to the public will find more favor In the lower branch than It did in the Senate.

In moving for reconsideration of the action making the ratifying resolution the order of business for Tuesday, Senator Tone asked that it bo referred to the committee on Federal relations. Senate Leader Cronln taking floor in opposition said he assumed that the motion was to have a hearing on the amendment. In cases of two previous amendments tho precedent was esta'blUh- ed of taking action without referring them to committees, he said.

fight for a Child Labor amendment to the constitution will be continued, even though thirteen states, or more than one-quarter of the necessary three-fourths, have refused to ratify it, said a statement issued hitre today by the National Child Labor committee, organized in 1907. Tha adverse vote of the legislators Is not final, according to the statement, and the amendment "has not 'been defeated or ehelved." Tho committee expects aljc of the IS states to reverse their action and "go on record In favor of the children when they discover that the present scare of a super-socialism is groundless." These six states ar Ohio, Oklahoma, Kansas, North and South Dakota and Massachusetts. All of th-ese, it said, now have clilld labor laws. I "We Intend to continue fighting for adequate Child Labor standards until all American children are pro. tected," the statement continued.

"Every Legislature will vote on the amendment. It may taike two years Instead of six months to secure ratification It will come because it is now being- rejected from a foolish tear that all labor will be prohibited and ull chores forbidden, rather than from adequate reasons. No good legislation can be permanently scared Into defeat." Love Tangle Sought in Pianist's Disappearance Mme.
