NEW YORK'S CHILD
LABOR LAW IS
HELD INVALID

New York. Aug. 4.-The state law OF
New York restricting the labor OF women
and children to 10 hours day and 60
hours week in a factory was declared
yesterday by Justice Olmstead. In a de-
cision handed down in the court OF spe-
citl sessions, TO be ian unwarranted In
vasion OF constitutional rights" The rul-
Ing was concurred In by Justices Mexican
0nd Deuel.
David / Williams, proprietor OF book
birding establishment, was arrested last
January on charge of violating the law
In question. The defendant was dis
charged from custody. Justice Olmstead
declared that the law was class legisla-
tion. lie said In his decision:
ITO labor and employ labor are inner
ent 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 predicted upon legislative die
tum
I'm the case under consideration the
right OF the employed and the right of
the employer are nilly determined. Moth
Ing 10 the contrary appearing II must be
assumed that the woman was a willing
worker for a willing employer. and that
the result was mutually satisfactory and
profitable No argument is needed TO
show that both the employer and the
employed have been restricted I'm their
rights by the law in question.
fhc present constitution OF the state Of
New York was adopted I'm 1894 and be-
came effective Jan. /, 1895, All OF the
rights which a woman possessed at that
time were confirmed by that document
One OF these rights certainly was the
right TO contract for her labor and the
right 10 work when and where she pleas
ed, without reference TO the position OF
the hands upon the dial OF the clock.
1T was not until four years after that
tbs law-making power sought 10 place
the limitation under consideration upon
them, What was the legislative intention
In doing this? The attorney general finds
and urges no other reason than that the
general welfare OF the state demands tfsit
the progeny OF women OF the factories
shall have mothers with healthy bodies,
10 the end that the state may have sturdy
citizens.
Does the state look merely TO the chill
dren OF the factory women for its future
good citizens? Why should the house
wife. the women who toll at home. IN
mercantile houses. in offices, or she who
tolls not at all-the society woman-be
exempt from legislative interference. in
junctive or mandatory. for the same res-
son? Some OF them may he mothers OF
future citizens. and IL should be OF as
great interest 20 the state that their pro-
geny should have proper birth and breed

IF this question OF future citizens Is
the only excuse for the assumption OF
police power. what becomes OF the rights

DYNAMITE ON
CAR TRACKS At
NEW BEDFORD

New Bedford. August 4-Only the
watchfulness OF the motormen I'm two
cases and measure OF providential good
fortune prevented widespread tragedy
from marking the 18th day OF the street
car strike.
AT three different spots heavy charges
OF dynamite we're found. laid well within
the groove OF the street car rail. on two
occasions motormen saw the explosive
before the wheels of their car came In
contact with IL. but in the third case the
heavy trucks of a North Front street car
smashed into the stick.
A policeman who was standing near
the scerfe at the time declares the per-
cussion cap was exploded. The dynamite
failed 10 be discharged, however Ii was
determined later that the soft rain that
was falling at the time had so dampened
the explosive that IL was rendered prac-
ucally harmless.
Had the stick been exploded. the dam
car was comfortably filled with passen-
gers. the loss OF life would have been
great. The charge was heavy, one.
Last night the police searched New
Bedford thoroughly for some trace OF the
men who attempted the outrage. The
union officials are highly indignant. and
declare In most emphatic terms that no
members OF the strikers organization
could have had any hand in IL. 1t Is be
lieved 10 be the work of irresponsible
strike sympathizers.
superintendent Potter OF the street
railway company admitted that explo-
sives had been placed on the track In
three different portions of the city. He
declined 10 say what action the com
pany was contemplating and. refused to
discuss the affair.
At a meeting OF the carmen's union,
held yesterday. IL was voted unanimously
10 reject President Capo's offer. that so
men would be taken back by the com
pany, that being the number OF positions
now vacant. the places OF 100 OF the
strikers already having been filled
IL was also decided 10 ask Samuel
Gompers. president OF the American
Federation OF Labor. 10 come here and
address a mass meeting which Is TO be
held next Tuesday evening This meeting
will be addressed by John Golden presi-
dent of the National Textile Workers:
Mayor Coughlin OF Fall River. w. ID. Ma
hon. international president OF the Anal
gqmated association and President Com
pers providing that the last named ar
rivcs In time.
II was also decided TO hold a mass
meeting i'm Fall River next Wednesday
evening. A subcommittee was appointed
every ward In New Bedford.
Although the strikers appear 10 be con-
fident that they will win the struggle,
Superintendent Potter OF the local COM
pany said last night that the strike vir-
tually was ended. that all vacancies
would be filed by next Monday. and
after that date matters would be I'm a
normal condition.
Mayor Thompsons statement was not
forthcoming at late hour last night
and II was believed that IL would not be
given TO the public until tomorrow.
