The Child Labor Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, proposed separately to the legislatures or voters on the states, becomes a dead issue since its rejection last month by Oklahoma, Kansas and Ohio. Fifteen states have within the past few years passed upon it and 13 rejected it; therefore it is impossible to have three-fourths of the 48 states ratify it (as the Constitution requires) unless some of the 13 reconsider it. The 13 are: the two Carolina states, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, two Dakotas, Wyoming, Massachusetts (which rejected it by referring it to a vote of the people in that state last November), Washington and Delaware. The Wyoming senate voted to postpone indefinitely a resolution to ratify.
Later,--Indiana has also rejected it.
