"NHiTE SLAVE" LAW IS
Is UPHELD BY HIGH COURT

aSnlngtOn, Jan. 15-lh1
federal white slave'law was cons
trued by the supreme court today
to prohibit Interstate transoorta-
tion of women for any immoral
purpose, including private es-
capades as we'll as cOmmercialiZ-
ed vice.
In three test eases the court, in
divided opinion, affirmed con-
victions Of +. Drew Caminetti and
Mauly l. Diggs of Sacramento,
Cal, and l.. 7. Hays of Alva, Okla.
Their Imprisonment sentences
and fines become effective with.
in 80 days.
The court divided five to three
in broadly interpreting the law en-
acted in 1910. Chief Justice
White and Justices Mckenna and
Clarke in a minority opinion, held
that congress intended to have the
law apply only to actual "traffic'
in women and not to personal
immo,alitie>. Justice McRey-
nOlds. who was attorney general
during prosecution of Caminetli
and Diggs. took no part in the
ease.
Th" majority opinion given by
Justice Day held that while con-
gress may have intended the law
to prohibit only traffic in women
for pecuniary gain. it's plain terms
include Introduction of their tran
spolta'ion ''for any other immor-
al purpose" If it was not so in
tended. the majoity said, it was
congress functiC mot the
court's--to amend the law.
Wider scope in enforcing the
law now is open to the depart
mant of Justice. which contend
ed for the broader Interpretation.
The ruling effects many pending
cases including that of Jack
Johnson. the negro pugilist, who
is fugitive from justice.
Whether the law makes "ac-
completes" Of women involved in
personal escapades was not di-
finitely decided by the court. but
their testimony against men in
dicted was upheld as permissible.
I'm the test cases Caminetti was
sentenced to i8 months imorison-
ment and fined si.5OO: Diggs to
two years and a $4,000 fine and
Hays 30 f8 months in prison.
