TEN HOUR LAW INVALID
U. s. Supreme Court Says Law Is
Uncon stltution al.

In an opinion by Justice Peckham
the Supreme court of the United
States held to be unconstitutional
the New York State law making 10
hours days work and sixty hours
a weeks work In bakeries in that
State. Justices Harlan, White, Day
and Holmes dissented and Justice
Harlan declared that no more import
ant decision had been rendered in the
last century.
The opinion was handed down In
the case of Lockner VS.. the State of
New York and was based on the
ground that the law interferes with
the free exercise of the rights of con-
tract between individuals. The Court
of Appeals of the State upheld the law
and affirmed the judgment of the trial
court holding Lockner guilty. Judge
Parker wrote the opiniol of the New
York Court Of Appeals supporting the
law, and the court divided four to
three on the question of validity.

coRrELyou CHANGES RULING
Postmaster VIII Not Be Allowed to
Act as County Chairman.

Act as County Chairman.
An official circular will be issued
soon by Postmaster Geleral Corteyou
that will circumscribe the political
activities of postmasters. This docu-
ment will set forth that for the good
of the service postmaster should
not act as chairman of county
committee.
This ruling will be made In re.
sponse to a letter from the Pennsyl-
vania Republican state committee. 1t
appears that former Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne advised the Pennsylvania
Republican state committee that there
was no objections to postmasters be-
ing selected as delegates to the ma
tional convention and the purpose Of
the present inquiry is to ascertain
whether co-nty chairman will be
treated In the same manner by the
postofflce department. 1t Is under
stood that while Postmaster General
Cortelyou will sustain his precedes-
sor's ruling as far as being delegate
is concerned that he will rule 1t Is
not advisable for them to act as the
head of the county organization.
This action will not be based upon
the grounds of offensive partisanship,
but that the duties of chairman have
become so extensive 1t Is feared they
will interfere with the official duties
of a postmaster.
