Labor Contract Law
Is Riddled by State
Supreme Court Ruling

Georgia's labor contract law. already
riddled by judicial decisions, was torn
again today when the Georgia supreme
court in the case of Fortune against
BrasweI from the Walton county court
held as unconstitutional an important
section
Under the decision that part of the law
embodied in code sections 3712- -S7l3 is not
good. The two sections declare that no
person shall employ another. or rent him
land for agricultural purpose, without OBJ
tanning permission of any one who may
have previously employed or rented land
to the same person.
THE section is opposed to the consti-
tutional guarantee that no person shall
be deprived of his life, liberty. or prop
erty without due process of law" said
the court opinion.
In the case in question. Mrs r. e. For
tune, of Monroe. had leased land to A h.
Partee, for rental consideration of 3 ,0O9
pounds OF lint cotton. Subseuuentlv
w. H. Braswell rented land TO Partee.
withouI permission of the first party. and
Mrs. Fortune, under provisions Of the
law, sued for 5000 pounds Of cotton or its
equivalent, Braswell defending himself

Three of Atlanta's suffragettes'

ment they received
Mrs. Amelia r. Woodall Of North
Boulevard; Miss Catherine Cook, OF

lev. OF Chapel street, who were in the
Georgia state division of the magniif-
cent parade. today told their eXpe-
riences at the hands of the hoodlums,
who were all along the line of march,
and all but turned the pageant into a
farce
Miss Catherine Cook, one of the most
prominent suffragettes in the state,
said:
Drunken men actually insulted us.
The Georgia division of the parade.
however, had male protection. TheIe
were two Georgia men walking with US.
and we we're saved the annoyance of
having to battle against the crowds,
which some of the other state delega-
tions suffered.
There was absolutely no police pro-
| lection. Why, the marchers in the del
| egation just ahead of us appealed time
and again to the officers who lined the
streets. and received only smiles for
answer. So far as the parade went, it
was a beautiful event"
Tactics Condemned.
Mrs. Amelia Woodall, president of
the Georgia suffragettes, had nothing
! but condemnation for the tactics en-
ployed by the Washington police
throughout the parade. She said the
protection" offered the marchers was
a huge joke.
! Never cnce did our appeals for a
cleared street meet with anything like
respect or compliance. l personally ap-
| pealed to several officers along the line
of march, but these men told me with
smiles that they were ION stationary
post-that they could do nothing.
when we were within a block of the
reviewing stand. we were set upon by a
crowd of ruffians-nothing more or
less-who blocked our path, hurled in
suits at our marchers, and in every way
proved themselves unworthy of being
! called men. In a few cases it was dis
gusting to note that women standing
along the parade lines joined in the
rude jests and the loud laughter.
Il personally believe the parade had
great effect
Mrs. Woodall declared the local suf-
fragettes would pass resolutions con
demning the rowdyism displayed and
forward them to the Washington police
authorities.
Heated Denuncation.
Mrs. d. w Hilley, of Chapel street
another one of the returned marchers
is just as heated in her denunciation as
Mrs. Woodall or Miss Cook
"It was pitiful, these attempts OF
drunken and disorderly men to make a
joke of our pageant. They failed mis-
erably to carry out their purpose"
Sample gibes hurled at the marchers
as related by Miss Cook today, were;
Pipe the old hens"
Where are the chickens?"
Come on with the good lockers"
GO home and wash your dishes"
"I'll bet she makes her husband
wash"
Hep, hep, hep, the hens are march

FEDERAL BRIEF
SEEMS HOSTILE
Government |ntervenes in State
Rate Litigation.

The unexpected entry of the federal
government in the state rate cases
for more than year pending before
the United States supreme court at
Washington, was marked by the
filing of brief prepared by w. r.
Denison, assistant attorney general,
hostile to the states which maintain
the right to regulate commerce where
it is between intrastate points.
Three points are made by the fed
eral attorney in his argument against
the contention of the Minnesota and
other state authorities, all of them de-
nying the right of the state to regu-
late interstate commerce in any par.
ticular.
Asserting the right Of congress to
regulate interstate commerce Mr.. Den
ison's brief maintains that rate
made by state railroad commission
which interferes with interstate rates
is void without federal action. The
brief then ascribes to the interstate
commerce commission all power to
regulate interstate commerce which is
possessed by congress itself.
