the RIGHT 10 LABOR.

HE Rl6hl iU IAbUk.
TEN HOUR LAW Is NULL AND
VOID.
The New York Statute Turned Down
by the Supreme Court-An Inn
portant Decision.
Washington, April Tn an opin-
ion by Justice Peckham, the supreme
court Of the United States today held
to be unconstitutional the New York
State law making ten hours a sday's
work ana so hours a weeks work in
n bakeries in that State, Justices Har
Ian, White, Day and Holmes dissented,
and Justice Harlan declared that no
more important 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 interfered with
the free exercise of the rights Of con-
rsst between Individuals The court
Of appeals OF the State upheld the
law and affirmed the judment OF the
trial court holding Lockner guilty.
Judge Parker write the opinion of the
New York court Of appeals support
ing the law and the court divided four
tosthrees on the question OF validity.
Lockner is baker who was found
gully Of permitting an employe to
work in his bakery more than so
hours IN a week.
Justice Peckham said that the law
IS not an act merely fixing the num-
Der Of hours which shall constitute a
legal days work, but an absolute
prohibition on the employer permit
ing under any circumstances more
than ten hours work tesSe done in his
establishment.
He continued:
q necessarily interfered with the
right OF contract between the employ
er and employees. concerning the num-
sSyer Of hours IN which the latter may
labor in the bakery OF the employer.
9The general right to make a contract
In relation to- business is part of the.
liberty Of the individual protected by
the fourteenth amendment of the fed
erM CONSTITUTION. Under that provis-
ion no State can deprive any person
kof life, liberty or property without due
process of law. The right to purchase
or to sell labor is part of the liberty
protected by this amendment unless
there are circumstance which exclude
the right. The justice referred to the
exception coming under the head OF
the police powers of the State and af-
Ter considering that point at length
concluded that the present case did
not fail within the police power.
The question whether this act is
valid as lasor law, pure and simple,
may, he said, tsbe dismissed in a few
words. There is no reasonable ground
krfor interfering with the liberty Of
person or the right Of free contract by
determining the hours Of labor in the
occupation of a baker. Bakers are in
no sense wards the State. Viewed
in the light Of a purely labor law with
no reference whatever to the question
krof health, we think that a law like
the one before as involves neither the
safety, the morals nor the welfare Of
the public and that the interest Of the
public is net in the slightest degree at
fecfed by such an act. It is ques-
ton Of which Of two powers or rights
shall prevail the power Of the State
to 1egislate or the right Of the indi-
wdua1 to liberty Of person and free
dom Of contract We think the limit
of the police power has been reached
and passed in this case

The Bill Was Killed.

The senate committec on cduca-

bill which sought TO separate the

negro schools only the money deriv-

good common sense OF the lcgis-
lature would assert itself when this
measure came 90 be considered. So
far from limiting the school privi-
leges of the negroes, it is the pub
lie desire that their opportunities
be extended and the present sys-
tenn improved so as TO confer upon
these people the greatest amount
OF benefit.
1t is a great work to uplift 600, 70
600 blacks and build them into a
worthy and useful citizenship, but
what has been accomplished is
worth all the millions that have
been devoted to the object in the
past and what remains to be accom-
plished will be worth all the mil

future.

STOCKS AND SYSTEMS.
The Methods by Which Some Men op.
crate IN Wall Street.

There are many gamblers and
spectators who work in Wall street
on a system. They arc Just as cock
sure of their game as men who play
the races, roulette, baccarat or any
thing else on a system. Men who
gamble in this way know little and
care less about stocks, although they
have been dabbling in the market
for years. Their dope sheet is the
ticker tape They hang over it for
hours figuring out play after play.
One system is based entirely on
tips gathered from more or less re-
liable sources. When the player has
them all in, he looks up the record
of some particular stock. IL he finds
it has already gone up a point he
will sell point above or buy a point
below the market, assuming that no
movement extends in one direction
uninterruptedly for more than two
points. Thus they copper the tip.
A system one man in Wall street
has followed for twenty-five years is
to keep track of the main issues
dealt in on the Stock Exchange by
means of a chart for each stock. He
pays no attention TO movements of
only half point or a point for spec
ulative purposes, although he notes
every move on the chart. But as
soon as the regular fuctuation is
varied by an advance or a decline of
two points in succession he gets into
the market with the intention of Sc
curing profits from the remaining
points Of the movement. BY stick
ing to his system this man has ac-
cumulated a comfortable fortune.
As a rule, systematic spectators
in the street faithfully follow the
tide. They would rather 90 with
the market than buck against it.
They do not wait for any movement
to get well under way, but "feel"
the market with their systems. They
are satisfied with small profits. When
they find things going against them
they run for cover. Some Of the
systems are so involved that none
but the men who invented them can
understand them. But they all work
about the same II Spectator is
