the federal constitution the affirmative being up held by buffalo the negative by syra cuse the syracuse team was com posed of david levene george fuller and douglas meredith fresh from victories over randolph-macon mcgill and colgate proved remarkably strong and it is to the credit of buf falo represented by finklestein brownstein and teibel that they pre sented a sound case with ability child labor they argued is an evil nation-wide in scope and so susceptible to a national remedy and the eradica tion of it a duty which new york as a part of the union ought to further in every way not alone by her own state action but also by her support of national action that the states are incompetent to meet the situation is they contended clearly shown by the fact that since the voiding of the national child labor laws by the supreme court the evil of child labor throughout all the country has greatly increased the plight of the child as a victim of unscrupulous manufactur ers they depicted with eloquence that child labor is an evil syra cuse readily admitted though with the reservation that it was an evil much exaggerated like the problems of police of traffic and of education the problem of child labor according to their view is a problem to be dealt with by the states and that the states are adequate to the situation is demonstrated by the decrease of em ployed children over a period of many years nor according to their view is the question to be considered only in its social but also in its constitu tional aspect the extraordinari broad grant of power to the congre was
