N. c. COURT.
Order Forbidina Tax Collector 20
Enforce Act 10 Issued and 10 Per
Cent Tax will not be Collected
on Products Of Child Labor

Greensboro, N. C.-Judge James Il.
Boyd, In federal court Monday. held
the new federal child labor law I'M
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
profits derived from products on
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 a penalty, not tax, as II
proposed by the act Of congress, the
decision said.
The attempt of the federal gov
eminent to regulate labor within the
state Is usurpation of authority ant
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 wa'
signed at the same time the opinion
was announced.

BOARD UPHOLDS
RA|LROADERS PAY
BOARD uPPoLDs SEVEN RULES
UNDER AGREEMENT MADE
DURING U. s. CONTROL
United State Railway Board Favors
Extra Pay For All Workmen Called
Upon To Put In Overtime
To Complete Labors

Chlcago-The United States railroad
board Friday upheld the principle of
time and half overtime for all rail-
road shopmen after an eight-hour day.
The board also granted time and u
half to all shopmen on Sundays and
holidays, and penalties" the railroads
for Sunday work, except where such
Sunday shop work is absolutely es-
sential."
The decision upholds seven OF the
most important working rules of the
national working agreements granted
shopmen during federal administration
OF the railroads, but greatly modifies
other working rules, bitterly objected
to by the carriers,
While the decision is considered a
sweeping victory for the employees as
regards overtime, the railroads won
many points in the notifications Of
the rules, and A. o. Wharton, labor
member of the board, filed the first
dissenting opinion in decision Of the
body.
The decision holds that:
!. Work performed on Sundays and
legal holidays by shopmen shall be
half overtime, except for operation Of
powerhouses, millwright gangs, train
yards and other crews regularly as
signed the Sunday work. They will
| be paid regular week day time.
| 2. After eight hours work on week
days overtime will be paid at the
rate of time and half
3. Employees required to work dur
ing any period of the lunch hour will
be allowed one hour.
4. Employees called from regular
work at shops for emergency work
on the road will be paid from the
time they leave the shop.
8. Employees sent from shops to I'll
vacancies at any point will be pait
hourly from time they leave the shops
@. The eight-hour day is given full
recognition.
"The railroad board has decided tina
the seven rules approved by the boar'
corresponding to the seven rules o
tn national agreements are Just AM
reasonable" the decision declares
'They shall apply to each of the car
riers set out herein, except in sucl
instances as any particular carrier ma
have agreed with its employees upo
any one or more of said rules.
"A mere comparison by an unbiase
!. mind of the rules MS adopted by tn
board and the corresponding rule
embraced in the national agreemen
which was proposed by the employe
for readoption by this board Is SUI
ficient, the board believes, to con
vince that the notifications are jus
and reasonable and that the CON
plant made by the carriers that tn
national agreement rules were burden
some, unreasonable and unjust wa
well grounded,
"The board has felt impelled, how
ever, to decline many Of the nodifca
lions of rules advocated by the cal
riers, because they appeared TO 6
to an opposite extreme"
The railroads won their point !
securing modification Of the onerou
"ive-mile call" rule with pay, whic
Is cut to one hour.
