COURT KNOCKS OUT
CHILD LABOR LAW
FEDERAL MEASURE DECLARED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL BY
N. c. COURT.
Order Forbiding Tax Collector to
Enforce Act is Issued and 10 Per
Cent Tax will not be Collected
on Products Of Child Labor

Greensboro, N. C.-Judge James e.
Boyd, in federal court Monday, held
the new federal child labor law un-
constitutional. The Overwhelming
child labor law was held unconstitu-
tional by Judge Boyd two years ago
and that ruling was upheld by the
supreme court of the United States.
The opinion Monday was rendered
in the case of the Vivian Spinning
Mills of Cherrydale, N. c., who asked
an order restraining J. w. Bailey,
collector Of internal revenue, from en-
forcing the act. The law imposed a
federal tax of 10 per cent on the
which child labor was employed.
Regulation of labor, Judge Boyd
held in his decision Monday is one of
the powers retained by the states and
not delegated to the federal govern
ment. State child labor laws are ade-
quate to care for the situation and
provide penalty, not tax, as it
proposed by the act of congress, the
decision said.
The attempt of the federal gov
eminent to regulate labor within the
state Is a usurpation of authority and
a violation of the sovereign rights Of
the state, concludes the ruling.
An order permanently restraining
the collector from collecting revenue
from the Vivian Spinning Mills was
signed at the same time the opinion
was announced.

A Venture Of Peril.

I must have remained unconscious
for an hour or more. l never really
knew how long, for my watch disap-
9eared, yet 1t was still night when I
again painfully opened my eyes and
endeavOred to perceive my surround
iEgs. Memory Of the blow which
ended the struggle caused me to lift
a hand to my head; the scalp was
bruised and broken, the hair matted
with clotted blood, yet l could not be-
lieve the injury was a serious one I
could use my limbs. Satisfied on this
point, and assured that I was alone,
I braced myself on one arm, and, in a
sitting posture, endeavored to survey
my surroundings.
l was resting on the floor OF bare
room Of ordinary size, containing no
vestige Of furniture. The place was
cold, with that indescribable chill pecu-
liar to unused apartments, and through
the one window, which was unshaded
by curtain, poured the direct light
of an almost full moon. In this silvery
light every bit of that interior stood
revealed in it's hideOus baroness, the
roughly finished walls, the pat ches of
plaster scaled off, the dirty floor, the
single door and window, the rags amid
which l rested. 1t was a hopeless
scene.
l staggered to my feet Keeling a
moment like drunken man, and then
finally found my way along the side
wall to the window. My strength in,
