LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Right to Labor and to Employ Labor
Is Inherent and Cannot be Taken
Away Except on Ground of
Public Good.

New York The state law of
New York restricting the labor by
women and children to ten hours
day and SO hours a week in q factory
was declared on Friday by Justice
Olmstead in the court of special ses-
sions to be "an unwarranted invasion
of constitutional rights" The ruling
was concurred in by Justices Mexican
and Deuel.. Judge Olmstead declared
that the law was class legislation.
Justice Olmsted said in part, in his
decision: ITO labor and employ labor
are inherent and inalienable rights of
our citizens and cannot be taken away
In whole or In part unless upon the
broad ground of public good, which
must be apparent, and cannot be
predicated upon legislative dictum.
I'm the case under consideration
the right of the employed and the
right of the employer are equally in
volved Nothing to the contrary APP
pearing, it must be assumed that the
woman was a willing worker for a
willing employer and that the result
was mutually satisfactory and profit
able.
"The present constitution of the
state of New York was adopted in
1894. All of the rights which adult
women possessed at that time were
confirmed by that document. One of
those rights certainly was the right to
contract for her labor and to work
when and where she pleased 1t was
not until four years after that the law
making power sought to place the
limitation under consideration upon
them
What was the legislative latent In
doing thls? The attorney general
finds and urges no other reason than
that The general welfare of the state
demands that the progeny of women
of the factories shall have mothers
with healthy bodies to the end that
the state may have sturdy citizens.
Does the state look merely to the chill
dren of the factory women for its fu-
ture good citizens? Why should the
housewife, the woman who tolls at
home, in mercantile house, in offices.
or she who tolls not at all be exempt
from legislative interference, injunc-
tive or mandatory, for the same rea-
son? If this question of future citi-
zenship is the only excuse for the as
sumption of police power, what be-
comes of the rights of the non-child
bearing woman, considerable class?"
Attorney General Mayer says that
he will appeal from the decision of
the court.

NOT A UNIVERSAL DEMAN D
Statement That Western Republicans
Are Clamoring for Tariff Rs-
form u Incorrect.

A few Republican and many Demo,
cratic correspondents at Washington
are telling their papers that the Re.
publican party will suffer in the west
in the congressional election of 1906
on account of its attitude on the tar
if and on meat inspection They
say there is a powerful sentiment in
Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and other
western states in favor of a revision
of the tariff and as the Republican
party of the nation is opposed to tar
III changes of any sort at this time
they reason that the patty will lose
votes throughout all the region
Meat inspection, they declare, il
dealing a heavy blow to the cattle
and hog raisers, and, as the Republic
an congress and the Republican ad
mlnlstration pushed measure foi
meat inspection, the Republicans are
sure to be hit hard in all the west
ern states in the contest of 1906.
These prophets are astray. The
tariff revision sentiment which they
imagine they see in the west is con.
fined to a very few spots, and is moi
very pronounced even in those spots
Gov. Cummins, of Iowa, is a reviser,
but it is not altogether certain that
the Republicans of his state back him
in his demand. Secretary Shaw, who
probably represents pretty large ell
ement of the Iowa Republicans, is
against revision at this time. So is
Senator Allison, who also stands for
a good many Republicans in that
state. Gov. Cummins is making a
canvass on the revision issue now,
and although he claims to be far
ahead of Perkins, his rival for the
governorship candidacy, it is not en-.
tirely certain that he is correct,
Perkins friends are also making
claims, and these do not agree with
those of the governor. But even if
Cummins should carry the state on
that issue, it would not necessarily
indicate that the west was on his
side. There are a good many states
in the west, and there has not been
any marked demonstration in favor
of tariff revision among the Repub.
licans in any of them except in Iowa
and Wisconsin. Those are important
states, but they do not dictate the
policy of the national Republican
party. Moreover, the Republicans
will carry both of them on the con.
gressional vote this year.-St. Louis

A BRIGHT PROSPECT.
Leaders in the Iron Trade Speak with
Less Reserve Concerning 1907
Iron Age Sums Up Condition
of Market.

New York-The Iron Age says:
simultaneously with reports of
a further access of strength in all
the pig iron markets Df tho country,
comes the statement Of the United
States Steel Corporation, showing the
largest quarters earnings in its his
tory. Leaders in the trade now speak
with less reserve concerning early
1907, after having for some time lin
tied their predictions of good times
to 1906. The volume of orders on the
steel corporations books on June 80,
G,S09,5S9 tons, is the largest mid-year
total 1t has been able to report.
Pig iron has been the feature of the
weeks market. In the east the buy
ing movement in basic iron that was
well under way week ago carried
the total purchases of the fortnight
above $4,000 tons, some estimates
reaching 10000 tons. The remark
able fact about it is that consumers
provided for their needs for the bal
ance of the year with an advance be-
tween the first and the last buying of
but 25 cents.
Foundry iron markets are advanc-
ing. Southern irons are 20 cents to
so cents higher. In the Buffalo dis
trict a further advance Of so cents
was made and eastern Pennsylvania
makers have marked up their figures.
Finished material markets show
unusual midsummer activity, distrib-
uted all along the line. At Chicago,
railroads have entered large orders
for track supplies. Rail buying for
the week has been light.

ALL SECTIONS ENJOY PROSPERITY.
Report of r. G. Dun G. Co. on the Con-
dition of Business.

New York.-R. G.. Dun & Co.
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Commercial activity is welk main
talned, and early preparations are
made for autumn and winter business.
August opened with no adverse devel-
opments in the trade situation, while
crop progress during July was most
favorable. Trade reports are depend
ent upon agricultural results, but all
sections of the nation enjoy great
prosperity and there is scarcely a dis
cordant note in any of the dispatches
received.
Scarcity of labor is the only serious
complaint. output of coke being cur
tailed, and there is delay in harvest
ing crops, while strikes retard the
building of San Francisco; but, on the
other hand, a slight modification of
the 1903 scale has brought back 5000
more bituminous coal miners and the
threatened struggle at 33 paper mills
has been averted, while advanced
wages brought full activity in the
textile industry.
Commodity prices are fairly steady,
cheaper grain because of large crops
being offset by strength in the leading
materials of manufacture.
1t is not often that managers CT a
leading industry are uneasy regarding
the future because of too much bust
ness, yet that is becoming the stu
alton at iron furnaces and steel mills.
Failures this week in the United
States are $50, against ZIG last week.

One of the strongest Endorsements
of the Osages as law-abiding people
was given by j. f. Palmer In his
speech at Hominy recently, says the
Usage (Okla) Journal, when he said
that out of the 1000 on the roll
there was at the present time only
one member in prison, and there had
been in the past period of ten years
at time when not an Usage was be-
hind prison bars. Out of a population
of 1000 this is a remarkable showing,
and speaks well for the Usage as a
future citizen of the new common.

portion of the town, leaving in it's
wake ruin and devastation. There
are washouts in the streets to the
depth of ten feet. Allen J. Romig,
who was working in a tinsmith shop,
was drowned. The tinsmith shop
was swept away. More than so dwell

escaped drowning by rushing to the

In September the birthday of Pixies
Peak will be observed by the state
of Colorado. When Lieut.. Pike was
captured by Spanish soldiers in Feb
ruary, 1907, he was relieved of sew
eral maps and manuscripts which
were never recovered They are sup
posed to have been sent by the gov
ernor of Santa Fe to the viceroy Of
the City of Mexico, and by him for
warded to Madrid. AS the Spanish
are careful about the preservation of
historical documents and records it is
believed that Pixies papers are still
in existence. At the suggestion of Rep
resentative Brooks, of Colorado, Sec
retary Root has requested the Span
ish government to institute a search
for them If found they will probably
be returned
