What constitutes mechanical EN-
ployment?" Also what is "servile la
bor?" These are questions that sew
eral lawyers and Judge ~ NJ. Will
liams are trying to decide. and their
efforts along that line Of the past few
days will be renewed TOMORROW morn
ing.
About 8 o'clock Saturday 'evening,
Judge Williams decided that several
kinds of work named in connection
with the famous picture show case.
we're distinctly not classed under the
head Of servile labor. The occupa.
tions thus exempt were. piano player,
ticket seller and vaudeville performer.
and the entire load now rests upon
the shoulders of the picture machine
operator. This point was argued sat
urday afternoon by Attorneys Riddle,
Alger Melton and Oscar Simpson. the
latter in the affirmative and the two
former in the negative.
Mr. Riddle explained In his argu-
ment that under the statutes of okla
homa, the operation of moving picture
shows is lawful Also that there is
no law prohibiting their operation on
Sunday "Thcn, said Mr. Riddle, "the
occupation of the operator is not un-
lawful. because his work is necessary
to the operation or exhibition of the
picture show. which institution comes
under the laws OF the state of OKLA
homa Without his attention to the
machine that throws the pictures upon
the screen, the show could nos be ex-
hibited' Mr.. Riddle said further that
Il it were unlawful for the machine
operator to work on Sunday it would
be unlawful for the picture show to
be operated on that day, but he de-
clared that one could not bo classed as
violation Of the law and the other
not a violation.
Mr.. Melton argued that in case Of
the picture machine operator. there
could be no servile labor. because his
labor was not of a seryile nature He
explained how the operator puts one
set of pictures, or one reel in the ma
chine. presses the button and the en-
tire reel is run off by electricity He
is through the minute the reel is SET
in place and started revolving by the
simple pressure of a button which con
meets the electric current. when the
reel has been run off. he simply takes
it out. puts in another reel, again
presses the button and the reel is
again run off by electricity. He then
works about three minutes out OF
every fifteen or twenty and during the
time the reel is running off he<could
90 down the street and smoke cigar
or do anything he wanted to" said
Mr.. Melton.
Mr.. Melton then took up the question
