The sister mercifully dies, but the

Child Labor Measure
Held To Be Invalid
Federal Judge Boyd, of North
Carolina, Issues Tempo
rary Injunction

GREENSBORO, N. c., May 2.-The
child labor section of the war revenue
bill, placing a prohibitivc tax on prod
acts Of child labor entering interstate
commerce, was declared unconstitu-
tional to-day by Federal Judge James
E. Boyd. Last year he declared void
the original child labor act, which the
United States Supreme Court annuled
by margin Of one vote.
The revenue law levies 10 per cent
taxes on interstate products Of fac
tories employing children under four
teen years old, or of those between
fourteen and sixteen years working
more than eight hours daily.
Judge Boyd to-day made permanent
temporary injunction prohibiting en-
forcement Of the law in the case of a
Charlotte, N c., factory. Following
the arguments made by opponents of
the provision in Congress, Judge Boyd
said the child labor rider" seeks to
accomplish regulation of employment
by 1ndlrection, by use of taxation
powers, and is an invasion of states
regulatory authority.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-~Ofhcials of
the Department of Justice were with
out information of the decision of Fed
eral Judge Boyd at Greensboro, N. c.,
to-day declaring the child labor. section
OF the war revenue law unconstitu-
tional, and could not say what the next
step in the case would be.
1t was stated, however, that the de-
cision would not affect operation of
the law unless upheld by the Supreme
Court. AS the case was brought by an
employe against cotton mill, the gov
ernment having no direct part in the
proceedings, 1t was said that the ques-
ton OF an appeal would have to be de-
cided locally at Greensboro.

AT a dinner given recently by the
American Motors Corporation, Ralph
D. Mock, controller of the Hydraulic
Pressed Steel Company, said no sub
stantial drop in automobile prices need
need be looked for on July l or after.
Present prices are governed largely
by labor COSTS" said Mr.. Mock. "In its
raw state the actual cost of the ma
terial that enters into the making of an
automobile is a very small proportion
of its final cost, and for this reason
fluctuations in the material market are
not a determining factor.
at is the labor required to work up
the material into finished units which
are finally assembled into complete
car that governs the cost, and it is not
likely that there will be a reduction
in the price paid for albor. On the
contrary, there is a general feeling
among automobile manufacturer that
in the price paid for labor. On the
now going on wages should be main
tanned at present rates.
"There is a growing tendency among
parts makers to demand a better grade
of workmanship, due largely to the
refnements that have grown out of
their experience in war work, and
manufacturers as q whole are willing
to pay the increased cost necessary to
secure better workmanship. Manufact-
urers in the automobile industry do
not demand reduction in wages, and
there is no likelihood that labor would
stand for it if they did" C. L. T. S.

TOBACCO PLANTING

At the present time everyone who
is at all interested in tobacco plant
ing should look after their beds Re-
ports have come in to the Hawkins
County Burley Association and Bus
mess Mems League that the beds in
some parts of the county are very
promising. The plants have made a
good growth and are coming in fire.
So everyone who received tobacco
seed should make special effort to
look after their tobacco beds and give
such little attention as might be
needed, as planting time will soon be
here.
Also the Burley Association wishes
to call attention to the preparation
of the tobacco acre. 1t should not be
neglected now. Corn, of course,
should not be neglected, and should
receive first consideration, but the
careful preparation of the soil is
necessary for a successful tobacco
crop,-Rogersville Review.

Germany Now
Seeking After
War Diplomats
by United Press.)

BERLIN, April 15.-(By Mail. y
Finding men who can satisfy the en-
tente capito.s as ambassadors is a
problem perpxeling the German for
eign office. The Germans are enxious
to get men who will get as favorable
standing as possible with the entente
nations. The question is to find Ger
mans who are not compromised in
foreign eyes, especially for England
the Foreignand America.
According to inside rumors from
theforeign office, Count Bernstorff is
to name his successor at Washington.
There is no one in diplomatic circles
who is considered entirely satisfac-
tory. The radical elements are boost
ing for Macmillan Harden, but Har-
den has not the confidence of the for
eign office, who say he is too blunt.
Prince Lichnowski is not posi-
bility, according to both the foreign
office and the Prince, too, who says
he might go back to England, but
cannot go so far as America where
he would be out of couch with his
business interests. Theodor Wolff,
newspaper owner, is talked of for
Paris.
Bernstorff will probably be sent to
Italy, according to rumors, since
Rome is the only capital that would
tolerate him, it is felt in Berlin.

Pig Iron Plants
ToClose Down:
Prices Too Low

ROANOKE, May ALI iron fur
naces in Tennessee, and all expect
two in Virginia will be forced to shut
down Immediately, unless the govern
ment fixed price on pig iron is in
creased, according to a statement
given out here yesterday from an au-
thoritative source.
Increased freight rates and the re-
duced pig iron prices recently fixed
by the government are given as the
causes of the shutdown. Sixty per
cent of the Virginia and Tennessee
plants use Lake Superior ore and un-
der the present freight rates, it is
said, the plants are operating at con-
siderable loss. Several furnaces in
Virginia are reported to have already
closed. Furnaces at Pulaski and Rad
ford are preparing to close within the
next few days.
