DENOUNCE RECALL.
Lawyers in Session at Milwaukee
Would Protect Judges.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Having APP
proved a model uniform law, intend
ed for adoption by all the states, to
prohibit the employment of children
under certain ages, the American
Bar Association discovered that it
had gone on record against the use
in any part of the country of caddies
under IA years old.
The proposed law, as offered by
Walter George Smith, of Pennsylva-
mia, provides that no child less than
"A years old shall be permitted to
work in or about, among other
places, ANY boarding house, barber
shop, laundry, garage, place of
amusement or club" and although it
was not intended to refer to caddieS,
Smith explained, every effort would
be made to have the model law gen
orally adopted.
William r. Morris of Minneapolis,
one of the three negro lawyers un-
seated by the executive committee,
whose action was reversed by the as
sociation, sent telegram announc-
ing his resignation. 1t was accepted.
The recall of judges was formally
denounced by the association as a
"fallacy" and as tending to deprive
the public of judges of ability and
high character"
