CHILD LABOR LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
So Held by Federal Judge Boyd-De
cree Enioins Officers From Enforc-

So Held by Federal Judge Boyd-De-
cree Enjoins Officers From Enforc-
ing Law
Greensboro News, 1st.
On the eve of the day the keatlng-
Owen child labor law, a Federal sta-
i:te, was to become effective, Judge
James E. Boyd, of the court Of the
western North Carolina district de-
.ored the congressional act uncon-
s.itutional. Judge Boyd's decree was
signed yesterday afternoon, at the
conclusion of extended argument for
I'd against the law. By virtue of
lis decree the mills and employees OF
TIE district comprised in his juris-
<iction may continue operating AS
hitherto, and SO far as known there
will be no effort made this morning
in this district to conform the fac
tories to the regulations of the sta
tute.
Preliminary to announcing his
judgment, the president of the court
raid a compliment to the men who
had argued the case. He said that in
recent years no greater array OF
learned men in the law had assem-
b}ed in the United States to analyze
y statute. Because of this able dis
section in his presence, Judbe Boyd
sid he came to the task he had to
perform as fully advised and inform
I'd as he reasonably could expect to
be. He stated he was gratified by
the candor Of Prof. Parkinson, of the
defense of the law, who asserted that
Congress had used it's power of in
ter-State commerce for the object of
regulation of local conditions within
the State and the Encouragement of
child labor. This admission left the
issue clear, said the judge, and
brought forward the question: "Can
Congress do by indirection that which
it undoubtedly cannot do directly? ?"
Limits Its Powers
Congress can regulate trade among
the States but not the internal con-
ditions of labor, the judge said. He
reviewed briefly the development of
government from the family control
through the tribal day to the present
stage of civilization and stated that
his opinion is that the parent con-
tinues the best agent for the direc'
ton of the hours and other details
In connection with the labor of the
child. This assertion the court ex-
planned was merely by the way, and
not of direct bearing upon the issue
He said he came to the duty of pass
ing upon the validity or invalidity of
an act of the legislative branch of
the Federal government with full
realization of the significance of his
position. He declared his approval
of laws tending to elevate the condi
ton and moral state of all the peo-
pie and while incidentally express
ing some doubt of the wisdom of
too much child labor legislation, mads
1t clear that his judgment on the act
was based upon his Interpretation of
the constitutional limitations of con-
gressional power.
The decree signed by Judge Boyd,
after the preliminary recitation of the
facts that the case had been present
ed in equity and the complaint an

The decree goes further, enjolnlng
the district attorney or his deputies

tempting to enforce the provisions
of the aforesaid act of Congress or
any part thereof, and from instltut-

The decree is operative for the dis

made in the presentation of the case

Mayor Thompson Gave Meeting Pro

Governor
Chicago Dispatch, Sept. 2.
After being driven from three
States, the Peoples Council Of Amer
lea for Democracy and Terms Of
Peace perfected formal organiza-
ton at a public meeting in Chicago
today.
The session was held under protec-
tion Of the police, acting on orders
from Mayor VIM. Hale Thompson
which were in defiance of Governor
Frank C. Lowden. Four companies
of national guardsmer rushed from
the State capital on a special train
to prevent the meeting arrived af-
ter it had adjourned, it's purpose ac-
complished. i
The clash in authority between
Mayor Thompson and Governor Low
den came as the result of the action
of the police in breaking up the pa
cifists meeting yesterday on orders
by the Governor. When the mayor,
who was at his summer home at Lake
Forest, heard it, he declared the Gov
ernor had exceeded his authority and
instructed Chief of Police Schuiettler
to permit the meeting and to give
the delegates every protection.
When the paficists heard from the
mayors action this morning immed-
late preparations were made to hold
the meeting which had been prevent
ed in Minnesota, North Dakota and

&, unpatriotic and Gisloyal by the
Governor of Illinois.
The delegates gathered shortly at
ter noon at the West Side auditorl-
UNI in the heart Of a cosmopolitan
quarter. Patrolmen were on guard
inside and outside the building to
suppress any disorder. Nearby streets
we're utterly deserted as the dele
gates took thir places and were call
ed to order by Seymour Stedman, for
mer socialist candidate for Governor
of Illinois, as temporary chairman.
In the meantime, Governor Low,
den had been notified of the detl-
ance of his orders and immediately
called Adjutant General Dickson OF
illinois into conference. It was
found that as most Of the Illinois ma
tional guardsmen had been federal
lied the Governor had no troops at
his disposal in the Chicago district
An effort was made to reach Major
General Carter of the central depart
ment, to obtain his permission to use
Federal troops, but he could not be
found in time.
AS Governor Lowden considered
! immediate action necessary, four
| companies of the Illinois guard who
had not been federalized started for
Chicago. Adjutant General Dickson,
who accompanied the troops, had or
ders to break up the meeting at once
| on his arrival in Chicago despite the
action of the police and mayor.
Two Cafes Robbed
Robbers seem to have it in for the
cafes in town. Thursday night the
New York cafe was entered. En-
trance was made by raising the back
wondow in the building, which is some
20 feet from the ground. Three boxes
of cigars, several boxes of candy and
Sc in cash were missed. The money
was in the cash register.
Friday night the Olympia cafe was
entered, the window in the back OF
the building being broken out and en-
trance made through the window. A
watch, pistol and SIS in money were
stolen. The cafes are kept open till
about midnight and the robberies
must have been committed after that
hour. There is no clue as to the

GRAIN GOSSIP

President Griffin announces no manlpu-
lation of September oats will be permit
ted. This statement is probably reflec-
tion of the July oats affair. A large snort
interest is still reported in September
oats against a concentrated holding by
foreigners.
September oats deliveries are only about
100000 and Chicago holds near 4,0O0,O0o,
or about two weeks shipping, against
sales to go out. There is no scarcity,
Simply a congestion.
Part Of the corn strength was due to
rains, but talk of new maximum looks
bullish. Gossip credits the theory of a
new corn contract if the maximums are
advanced Present contracts are abso-
lutely limited to $1.2S. Our reports indi-
cate frost damage below early feelers.
Corn damage of today is in line with
our reports Of Thursday. For bull mar
ket the reports are mighty few and not
had Cash oats buyers working against
the market temporarily. Mucn talk of a
further break in cash corn. We believe
the United States has an excellent chance
to raise 2,40000O,O00 to 2,600,00O,0OO bushels
of merehantable corn against record Of
1850, 900, 900. We also believe the new
corn will be consumed with record care.
South is offering new corn.
Local bulls are obsessed with the idea
that $12S maximum will finally be re-
moved. Meanwhile s1.20 level continues
to provoke selling. A closing rally is
due on which would take profits, as the

New York, September 14.-There were
violent price changes in the cotton mar
ket again today, with December selling
up from 19.77c to 20.s5c, and closing at
q. zoe. The general list closed irregu-
lar at a net advance of - to % points.
Overnight buying orders brought in Py
yesterdays late rally caused irregularity
at the opening, first prices being points
higher to points lower. The tone was
barely steady, however, and the mar.
ket sold about II to 20 points net lower
shortly after the call, with october
touching 20.0Sc and January 1850. There
were reports of trade selling on this
decline which suggested hedging over
night purchases in the south and some
of yesterdays buyers for reaction evil

quite a. general apprehension that east

lated by a revival of more optimistic
vanced very rapidly, with october SELL
ing up to 2C.7Sc and January to 20.55c, or
about SO to SO points net higher. These
figures attracted heavy realizing, while
there was active selling attributed to
Liverpool and continental interest in the
last half-hour, with closing prices show
ing reactions of 80 to As points from the

down. In provisions, the outcome ranged
from zoe decline to a rise of 35c.
Corn showed decided strength during
the first half Of the session. Initial
weakness was due to prevailing warmth
and sunshine, but forecasts Of condi-
tons adverse to crop progress led soon
to an outburst of bullish sentiment,
which was increased by numerous re-
ports that damage from frost had been
greater than the trade has believed.
The market was in a position for liberal
profit taking by holders when peace COS
sip began to circulate.
Export purchases which amounted to
100000 bushels, failed to prevent oats
from sagging with corn in the late
trading. Offerings from the country
were still light here, but were said to
have increased somewhat overnight and
II was pointed out that primary receipts
totaled larger than year ago.
Supplies of wheat gained a little In
volume, but not sufficiently so to over
take the demand. Latest estimates Of
the spring crop in the Dakotas and
in Minnesota put the aggregate at g.
100000 bushels less than was suggested
by the government September report.
Future LIMITATIONS were as follows.

FAIR BUSINESS But
CAUTIOUS BANKERS

New York, September 14-Brad-
streets tomorrow will say:
Trade grows. prospects for fall are
encouraging and industrial outputs
generally are only limited by lack OF
labor, but repression is created in
some channels by past or possible flu
ture price fixing, by uncertainty over
taxation on excess profits, by the
hardening of rates for money and by
the outstanding of resources to take
care of the Forthcoming government
loan. Still the wants of very num-
erous, well employed people plus the
enormous needs of a wealthy nation
at war has made fora forward move
ment and while the government buy +
ing looms largest the more important
markets have been visited by numer-
GUS merchants who have taken staple
articles rather freely. 1t is undeniable,'
however. that high prices tend to de-
ter free buying and, moreover, those
who control credit reins are disposed
to discourage the locking up Of too
much capital in high priced merchan
disc, especially as it is a foregone con-
clusion that the governments needs
for money must receive precedence.
Aside from the uplift in house trade.
which is manifest in demand for dry
goods and kindred lines. cool, indeed
frosty, weather in parts of the coun-
try the fore part of the week greatly
stimulated retailing. but on the other
hand hurt the quality and to some
extent the quantities of late, unma-
tured crops.

New Orleans COTTON

New Orleans, September 4.-Wide price
swings marked trading in cotton here
today with the net results for the session
IN advance of 81 10 "a points. There was
much more short covering and floor COM
ment was that western interests were
important buyers. Possibly this latter
feature was the most potent bullish de-
velopment of the day, as it inspired
much speculative buying. On the open
ing prices were to points up. This
was met by heavy offerings from yester-
days buyers who took hold following
the storm warning for the Georgia coast
The storm did mot follow the course ex-
pected and they undoaded with the re-
suit that the market went to decline of
Is to "a points. Here good support was
met, buyers coming in on the buliish
showing made by the census bureau mill
statistics for August. The purchasing
movement soon took a determined trend
and was further intensified by the re-
port from London that the Kaiser had
answered the pope's peace note with con-
crete proposals looking toward a lasting
peace. At the highest of the day the
market stood at a net rise of SO to 81
points. Toward the end scalping longs
took their profits and pared down the
gain.
The forecast of rains for large part
of the belt was held unfavorable. Bullish
traders also made much of reports that
farmers were unwilling sellers at prevail
ing prices.

SHORTS IN COTTON OVERSOLD;
LIST SHOWS BETTER TONE
By c. f. AVERY

until the bond loan is safely out of the
way, still bargains are bargains and the
time to buy is when things are cheap.
Cotton took a right about face today
owing chiefly to the oversold conditions
prevailing in the future markets and the
failure to stampede the growers. West
ern interests. in fact the same crowd
that took hold of4the market and bulled
it to the highest price in its history,
ca me into the market and supplied the
absorbing power that has been lacking,
1t was said Scales was a heavy buyer
and that Patten bought, and the Glenn
ent-Curtis crowd were put down as buy
ers. This buying scared the shorts,
whose covering brought about substan-
tial advance.
