The Ohio legislature for some years avoided making
real child labor law
There popular demand and an open and we'll
defined agitation for such law
But somehow there always references to commit
tees and amendments to be debated and to make long
story short there steady, SILENT secret opposition
that, for years. prevented the passage of the law.
Public demand grew and last winter the legislators got
to thinking about their own reelection AS result the
law was passed.
1t wasn't "socalistic'' nor "revoutionary'' nor
drastic." In fact it quite mild and only went about
half as far as such law should go.
1t said that young boys and girls should not work many
hours day than grown up people work. and that
very young shouldn't work in factories at ALL and
that in certain places girls shouldn't be allowed to work
Now comes the news that some intangible sort of
ISOLATION has hired learned Tor foxy) lawyers knock this
law out.
The ground will be that the law is unconstitutional
That really means that judge or set of judges will be
asked to set aside the will of the people of Ohio and annn
a law of the state.
Unconstitutional?
When those lawyers mouth and humble in court it will
be sight to make simple, honest man woman laugh
or fight.
Unconstitutional?
That that they will try to show that the men who
wrote the Ohio constitution had in mind and carefully for
babe the employment Of children in factories filled with
whizzng wheels whirrng BELTS elevator shafts chemicals
and electric wires
The constitution of Ohio written some sixty years
ago There WASH a ynamo nor an elevator cleo
tric wire in the state. Those couldn't possibly have
had in mind conditions that did then and never had
listed.
They were writing law-not prophecy revelation.
And now come the lawyers to argue that the judges
read in between the lines of the Ohio constitution provs
ION about child labor Child labor ism mentioned directly
nor indirectly in that document and if it is decided that
modern conditions orseen contemplated and provd
edfor in that venerable but somewhat moudy document
then these Judges must concede to great great grand
fathers the spirit of prophecy prescence and almost
niscence Those old chaps will be promoted to the class
of Ezekiel Daniel, Isaiah and the other prophets.
Unconstitutional?
Such attacks on law better and worse than the
attack OF the bomb trower 1t is defiance of the popular
willard that is defiance of popular government-and
that is red anarchy.
