WILL OVERWHELM THE HOTELS
Chairman Housing Committee Makes
Request of All Having Rooms for
Rent to Communicate with Him.

Charlotte, N. C.-The housing com.
mittee of the Made-in-Carolinas Expo
sition began making arrangements
for housing the thousands of people
who will attend during the IS days
It will be held, beginning September
IL, 1t was announced by S. A. Var
Every, chairman. 1t is expected that
at least $4,000 persons, and possible
$4,000, will attend the exposition.
Already a number Of the exhibitors
have written for hotel reservations for
themselves and executives of their
plants, and for suitable housing &C.
commodations for those who will as
sist in the duties incident to the ex,
hibitor's part in the exposition. The
fact that the list Of exhibitors has
reacher a number close to $50, and
each exhibitor will have a number OF
representatives in charge, 1t is now
apparent that their demands for ac-
commodations will overtax the city's
hotel facilities. The boarding houses
and rooming houses will not be able
to care for more than a small part OF
the attendance.
Mr.. Van Every said he wants every
Charlotte home which can provide a
room or rooms for exposition visitors
to advise him of the location, the
charge which will be made per day
and the number of beds. Such infor-
nation should be in writing, address
ed to him care Of the Lance Packing
company.

CHILD LABOR LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CANNOT
COLLECT TEN PER CENT FOR
VIOLATIONS OF LAW.
IS MATTER FOR STATES ONLY
State Laws Provide Penalty and Not
Tax, as Is Provided by the Act
Ruled Upon, Says Judge Boyd.

Greensboro, N. C.-Judge James E.
Boyd, in federal court, neld the ma
uonal child labor law, which seeks
20 collect a federal tax OF ten per
cent on the profits derived from the
products of child labor, unconstitution-
al. The decision was in the case
VI the Vivian Spinning Mills, of Cher
ryville, n. c., seeking to restrain j..
w. Bailey, collector of internal rev.
enue, from enforcing the act.
The Overwhelming child labor law
was also held unconstitutional by
Judge Boyd in decision rendered two
years ago and that ruling was up
held by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Regulation of labor, Judge Boyd
ruled in his decision, is one of the
powers retained by the states, and not
delegated to the federal government.
State child labor laws are adequate
to take care Of the situation and pro-
vide a penalty, not tax, as is pro-
posed by the act Of congress.
Tne attempt Of the federal govern
ment to regulate labor within the
state is an usurpation Of authority
and a violation of the sovereign
rights OF the state, concludes the rul-
ing.
