 ratifying  the  proposed  amendment  to  the  Constitution of the United

   WHEREAS, at the first session of  the  sixty-eighth  Congress  it  was
 resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
 of  America  in  Congress Assembled (two-thirds of each house concurring
 therein), that the following article be proposed as an amendment to  the
 Constitution  of  the United States, which shall be valid to all intents
 and purposes as a part of the said Constitution  when  ratified  by  the
 Legislatures of three-fourths of the several states, viz.:
                                  ARTICLE
   Section  1.  The Congress shall have the power to limit, regulate, and
 prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen years of age.
   Section 2. The power of the several States is unimpaired by this arti-
 cle except that the operation of State laws shall be  suspended  to  the
 extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the Congress.
   Now, therefore, be it
   RESOLVED,  That  the  legislature of the State of New York does hereby
 ratify the above recited proposed amendment to the Constitution  of  the
 United States; and be it further,
   RESOLVED,  That  the  Secretary  of  State  be requested to transmit a
 certified copy of this concurrent resolution  to  the  Administrator  of
 General Services of the United States of America.
