CHILD
LABOR DECISION
American Federation of LabOr Wants
Congress TO Rectify Wrong of Fed
eral Judges Verdict,

at oiai ouuse at7tFi 4hFha1a
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Aug. PA
statement urging congress to rectify
what was described as the wrong done
by the decision of Federal Judge James
NJ. BOYD Monday at Greensboro, n. G.,
in declaring the Owen-keating child la
Dor law unconstitutional, was. made
public here yesterday by the executive
council of the Americar Federation of
labor. tta
''"The decision should be appealed to
the highest court of our land, sand the
statement, iand 1t is to be strongly
hoped that the United States supreme
court Will remove the biemish which
Judge Boyd has put upon the judiciary
of our land and prevent the children of
our land from falling II the grasping
and greedy hands of eXploiters and
from grinding their bones into profits. .
The statement, which was given out
by Samuel Gompers. president of the
federation, said that organized labor
cannot help but enter its protest, not
only against the unwarrantable inter
v~ention by the judiciary of the rights of
congress IN expressing the will OF the
people, but in this special instance
against legislation which every intel
ligent, patriotic and humanity loving
citizen holds to be justihable and essen
tial.
Nowhere in the constitution of the
United States is there vested in the jul.
dietary the right to declare unconstitu,
tional a law passed by the congress of
the United States and approved by the
president, or if vetoed by the president
passed over his veto by a two-thirds
vote of the house and senate.
"Some day, and may it be soon, the
people and the citizenship of our cOun.
try will demand from congress, and
congress win heed the mandate, to re
store the sovereign rights of the con
gress of the United States to enact leg
~islation and deny to the judicial branch
of the government the right to %annul, OIL
violate legislation for the protection OF
the rights and interests and the promo
tion of the welfare of the people of oul
country"

WOMEN WHO

Man may work from sun to sun, but
woman's work is never done" In order
to keep the home neat and attractive, the
children well dressed and tidy, women
continually overdo and suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse, knowing
full well that they need help to overcome
the pains and aches which daily make life
a burden. Lydia +. pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is a medicine with specific
value which overcomes many of the worst
forms of female Complaints, as the letters
constantly being published in this paper
will prove.-Advertisement.

William Baird Was Killed
at Jasper, Ala, Last
Week

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. l7.-Ter
members of Company M Alabama Ma
tional Guard, were in the Jeffer-
son county jail here to-day, charged
with lynching William Baird, miner
at Jasper last Thursday night. The
men, five non commss toned officers and
five privates, were arrested last night,
after Leslie West, taxi driver, is
said to have made a complete confes
sion of the part he took and named the
soldiers.
Announcement of the confession was
made by Judge Horace c. Wilkinson,

investigation of the lynching. West
was arrested several days ago on the
belief that he knew something Of the
lynchers. He is said to have confessed
he drove one of the cars.
Baird was in jail at Jasper awaiting
trial for killing Private James Morris
of Company NJ, after Morris had shot
and killed John Northcutt, Baird's ia
theri law Northcutt had been ar
rested by Morris on a charge of disor
derby conduct while the company was
stationed in Jasper in connection with
the miners strike.
According to Judge Wilkinson, West
declared the soldiers wore civilian
clothes, including overalls, and these
were burned after they returned to
where they were encamped.
The trip was made in two automobiles.
The party went to the Jail shortly after
midnight, overcame the jailers resist
ance and bundled Baird into one of the
after putting towel around
his neck About two miles outside Of
Jasper, the confession continued, Baird |
was showed from the automobile and !
shot to death The soldiers then went |
