turned q novel trick on the fero-
cious bloodhound sent out to trail
him, but was captured neverthe-

on the chain gang for murder. A

The negro waited until the blood
hound caught up, tied the animal
to a tree and continued his fight.
He was captured later, however.

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 23.-Charpes
that the Federal courts are playing into
the hands Of exploiters Of child labor
were made to-day by the executive
council of the American Federation Of
Labor. The council in a protest ad
dressed to Congress asserted that the
Federal Court at Greensboro, N. c.. in
holding the new Federal child labor law
unconstitutional had exceeded its au-
thority with a view of enabling big in
terests to grind the Don.s of children
into profits'
AS soon as the labor leaders, headed
by Samuel Gompers, president Of the
Federation, received the details of the
decision rendered by Judge James (.
Boyd, a Greensboro, which nulliiies
Federal child labor restrictions, they
set aside all other business to consider
the question. Mr. Gompers insisted it
was imperative that an appeal be car
ried to the Supreme Court and to OBJ
tain stay against the employment os
children in factories until Judge Boyds
decision is finally acted upon
Former Law Also Invalid

brought by the North Carolina Spinning
