before Judges Rice and Helscl TO the

who has begun test of the law winch he
SAWS he will carry to the United States

II Is unconStitutional because II violates
the thirteenth amendment To the tonSti-
tuition which abolished slavery and IN

Mr.. Green contcndcd that the law is
thoroughly good constitutionally and
that there really is nothing in its com
pulsorv work clause that is actually new +,
the doctrine having existed tor G lturicS
under the common law. In support OF thus
he quoted Chief Justice Blackstone, the
famous British iurlst and authority, upon
idlcness rs high oifcnse against public
economy. adding that the law as 1t
stood was nothing but statute against
this form of wrong doing.
