PERRY MEASURE FRIENDS SAY INJUSTICE WAS DONE A number of representatives have signed a card, In.which It Is said that the report In Monday's Georgian of the passage of the child labor bill by the house does an "Inexcusable Injustice' to those who voted for the Perry amendment, which met defeat. The card sets forth that the Perfy amendment was wise and Just, and also that not all, If any, of those who voted for it did so witty the intention of doing the Bell bill any harm or of causing its defeat. The argument In the card Is as fol lows: "Of the 61 votes for the Perry amend ment, 86 were cast by those who favored the law last year, ouly IS by those who opposed It • r O.-tho7 ment. 37 were csst by those who favored the law last year, 29 by those who op posed It. “There were 62 votes last year against the law.

Tbosc who were active In behalf of tbe law laat year, but who voted ycatenlay against tbe Perry amendment, were unanimous In dcclnrlog tbe amend ment an Improvement on the bill, and were equally unanimous In declaring that their opposition to It won baaed solely on tbe apprehension that Its adoption might tagontse some senators to the bill." What The Georgian Said. The tenor of The Georgian's report was that the tight 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 houee and would therefore prob ably accomplish Its defeat. That argument was strongly brought out In the speeches made Monday by Mr. Bell, author of the bill; Mr. Felder and Mr. Stovall; who led the fight for the bill; Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Wright and others who were most conspicuous in their fight 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 peeking to kill or hurt the Bell bill.
