Because these respondents have

Debs' Term Not Sufficient.
Wright declared that Eugene V.

'and the offense of the least of these
(Morrison) was more malicious than
that of Debs."
Three Of Wright's colleagues sat on

SPRINGFIELD, H., Junel 27.-The
amendment to the womens 1o-hour
law enacted by the general assembly
at the last session, making the statute
apply to hotel. mercantile and me-
chanfcal establishments, factories
and telephone and telegraph COM
fpatiies; has been Isdeclared constitu-

NC ~., Z. H.. &.
The ruling was made on the ap-
/ peal OF Edward Eldering,- "a hotel
keeperaof chsf1eston, who was fined
Tor working women more than 10
hours daily. .>=sE:@ -
The court held that 5hotels are
quast-public places; that : the police
powers of the state can properly be
exercised over them, and that the
limitation of the hours Of labor of:
women is not an unauthorized exer-
else Of the powers of the state.
The factory inspection department
engaged Samuel A. Harper and the H.
linois Association for Labor Legisla-
tion procured tt he services of Edgar
A. Bancroft to prepare briefs in sup
port OF the law .
The chief point made in the briefs
was that the pressure of the public
demand in hotels and restaurants
was as exacting on women as the
operation Of machinery In a factory,
and that the state had right to ex-
ercise it's police powers to protect
them in such occupations.
Right to Strike Sustained.
In another decision the supreme
court held that labor unions have
the right to strike if non-union en-
ployes are retained by employers.
The case was that of Harry Kemp
and others, who secured an injunc-
ton in the circuit court OF Cook
county restraining Division No. 241
Of the Analgamated Association Of
Street and Electric. Railway EN-
ployes from striking, the petitioners
being employed by, the Chicago City

In its decision the supreme court:
reverses the ruling Of the appellate
court and orders the injunction dis
solved. The decision has no practical
bearing on the situation now, as the
delinquent members paid up their
dues and were reinstated in the
union when the Injunction was first
refused by Judge Walker. The
