CHILD LABOR LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL,
 COURT DECISION
Appeal Will Be Taken By Government To United
 States Supreme Court.

Greensboro, N. C., Aug. 31-Judge James F. Boyd, in United States circuit court here today declared the Keating-Owen child labor law un- constitutional.
 Injunction proceedings which re- suited in Judge Body's ruling were brought by Robt H. Dagenhart and his sons, Reuben and John, against the Fidelity Manufacturing company to prevent the company from dis missing the two boys, minors, from the company's cotton mill at Char lotte.
 Tie law, which becomes effective September 1, prohibits the employ ment of any child under A years of age in any factory, mill, workshop or cannery whose products are to be shipped in interstate commerce., and requires that the working day of children, IA to 15 years old shall not be longer than eight hours. Reuben Dagenhart is under 16 and John Dagenhart under IA. The father con- tends he is entitled to their wages until they are 21, and as the North Carolina law allows il hours day, Reuben has right to work more than eight hours day, while John has right to work in the mill al though under IA because the state law permits it.
 The government will at once appeal the decision of Judge Boyd holding the federal child labor law unconsti- tutlonai. It probably will be ex- pedlted to get it before the supreme court at the coming fall term
 lnasmuch as contest was to be expected, officials are not concerned over the decision by lower court as 1t serves as the vehicle for an ap- peal and speedy determination of the question before the highest court of the land. Department of justice off, cials have no doubt of the constitu- tlonallty of the law and are confi- dent that many decisions of supreme court point to victory for the gov ernment.

BAKERS HERE DUBIOUS.
Pine Bluff May Continue to Pay 6
 Cents for 12 Ounces.

Pine Bluff bakers are not making any promises of larger loaves or of cut in the price of bread, as re suit Of the governments action in fixing the price of wheat t-as ~S2 20 bushel. Pine Bluff people,.--fe~ some time, have been paying cents for a loaf of bread weighing just 12 ounces. Local bakers believe it i'm possible to manufacture a loaf of IA ounces for cents, and make a profit.
 Flour used by local bakers now cost them more than the flour to be ground from $2.20 wheat, but at that there seems no immediate prospect of Pine Bluff people obtaining either larger loaf or a reduction of the 'fivc-cent loaf" to 5 cents.

Will Appeal at Once.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Federal Off, ficlals regard the decision of Judge Boyd, holding the child labor law un- constitutional merely as vehicle for getting the question before the su- preme court, where they are entirely confident the action of congress will be sustained.
 It had been assumed, when the law was passed, that the milling interests would not permit it's enforcement without a vigorous fight. The law becomes effective tomorrow and the decision at Greensboro affects only that district.

 According to the company officials, more than 2S,500 machinists, helpers and boilermakers went out, while a statement issued by union leaders to- night placed the number at $500. The strike order affected all shops.

A representative of the federal department of labor recommended compromise increase of six cents. This offer the union representatives agreed to submit to the men for ac- tion, but on the company's assertion that this scale was impossible, the strike was called.

 The Scent loaf of 16 ounces is pos sible. MT. Hoover said, only if bak- CTS, retailers and consumers unite to eliminate wasteful methods to ob- tain standardized loaf.
 Seed wheat, it was announced, will not be held to the price schedule fix ed by President Wilson. It is real ized that seed is of better grade than ordinary classes and no effort will be made to control the price.

MORROW BANKS MAKE
EXCELLENT SHOWING

Morrow county banks make a sub
stantial showing in their reports is
sued on the 18th of this month in
response to a call from the Comp
troller of the Currency. In view of
the fact that no wheat has been sold
in several months and a quiet has
reigned supreme in the wool market,
so far as local clips are concerned,
the showing made by the banks a,
this time is remarkable, and reflects
the steady financial condition of far
mers and stockmen generally. In a
few weeks the 1917 wheat crop will
be on the market, and it is safe to
predict that more or less of this years
wool crop will have been sold within
that time. Bank deposits will leap
hundreds of thousands in a short
time and will reach new high rec
ord.
