What The Gsorglan Said.
The tenor of The Georgian’s repprt
was that the light for the Perry amend
ment, If victorious, would have Imper
iled the Bell bill when It reached the
senate as the Perry ; amendment would
make the measure unacceptable to the
upper house and would therefore prob
ably accomplish Its defeat.
That argument waa strongly brought
out In the speeches made Monday by
Mr. Bell, author of the bill; Mr. Felder
and Mr. Stovall, who led the light for
the bill; Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Wright
and others who were moat conspicuous
In their light for the anti-child labor
bill.
The Georgian made no statement or
Insinuation on Its own authority that
the friends of the Perry amendment
were seeking to kill or hurt the Bell
bill
