read:
Your letter of the 18th inst. to the
attorney general has been handed me
for attention.
you state that you have been in
formed that Judge Smith of the Unit
ed States district court has declared
the labor contract laws of this State
| unconstitutional and ask to be advis-
ed whether or not you should con-
tinue to enforce the law as written.
I'm reply thereto 1 beg to advise
that know of no case in which
Judge Smith has considered this mat.
ter. In the case of the United States
vs.. Magistrate Hayes, in which cas-,
the magistrate was convicted in tho
United States district court for thu
Eastern District of South Caroline
for violation of the federal laws
against peonage and given a sentence
in the federal prison in connection
with the enforcement of the labor
contract law referred to by you, tn.
circuit court of appeals has recently
reversed the distdict court, but 1 have
been as yet unable to secure a cop,
OF the opinion handed down by tho
circuit court.
II am Of the opinion. however
that you should continue to enforct
the labor contract laws Of this State
as you have in the past using duo
care, Of course. not to conspirc with
any prosecutor to force persons to la
Dor against their will. The supreme
court of this State has never declared
the labor contract laws to be uncon-
stitutional.
