LABOR CONTRACT LAW
IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
United States Supreme Court
Sets Aside AIabama's Ban
on Negroes.

The fight Of the federal government ia
have the labor contract" law of Ala
bama declared unconstitutional was
crowned with success today, when the
Supreme Court Of the United States held
the law invalid. The government claim
ed the law reduced hundreds OF negroes
to a state akin to peonage.
The question of the constitutionality Of
the law was raised in the case OF Alonso
Bailey, a negro laborer for the River
side Company. The law made 1t a mis-
demeanor for any person to enter into
a. contract to labor, receive advance pay
and then fail to do the work without
refunding the money advanced.
The breach of the contract was made
proof, on the face of things. Of intent to
defraud, and under. rule Of Alabama Law
the laborer was not permitted to rebuff
this proof by testifying as to his unex-
pressed intention at the time OF making
the contract.
When the case came I'd the supreme
Court the Department of Justice was al
lowed to participate in the arguments
.as a. friend of the court" claiming that
the thirteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution was violated by the law in ques-
tion. The Supreme Court of Alabama
had upheld the constitutionality Of the
law.
Justice Hughes, who announced the
opinion of the court, said the court at
the outset dismissed the point that Bailey
was black man, because there was
nothing in the statute that disclosed q
discriminate against negroes.
Furthermore, it.Was held that state
could not reduce person to involuntary
servitude by the indirect method of max
ing his failure to pay debt q crime.

SENATOR HUGHES IS I'LL;
POLITICAL CAREER OVER

That Senator Charles W. Hughes Of
Colorado will never take his seat again
in the Senate is a prediction made today
by David F. Day, owner and editor Of
the Daily Democrat. Durango. Col. who
is In Washington on business.
Mr.. Day gives as his reason for this
statement that Senator Hughes is suffer-
ing from malignant goiter, and that his
recent trip to the Hawaiian Islands has
failed to improve his condition. Mr.. Day
says there can be no doubt but what
Senator Hughes political career is over.
Mr.. Day also predicts that Robert w.
Speer will be appointed after the present
legislature adjourns and the new legis-
lature assemblies to succeed Senator
Hughes.
eff I am right in my prediction this
appointment will be followed by the elec-
ticn Of Gov. Shafroth or Representative
Martin to succeed Senator Guggenheim."
He thinks the democrats will DO in
control of the political situation in Col
orado for some time, and that Senator
Hughes retirement wifi have no eff
feet upon the fortunes Of the party.
