Minimum WAGE
LAW INVALID
District Court Hits Statute Effec-
tive in Capital
HOLDS 1T BLOW AT LABOR
Declares 1t Would Lead Ultimately
To "SociaI Disorder and Revo-
lution"-OId Principle
Involved.

Washington. - Declaring that the
modern tendency toward indiscrim-
mate legislative and judicial jugglery"
with great fundamental questions of
free government, if persisted in, would
lead ultimately to social disorder and
revolution the District of Columbia
Court of Appeals held unconstitutional
the minimum wage law effective in the
Capital. In holding the law invalid
and thereby establishing what is re-
garded as likely to be precedent of
far-reaching Importance, the Court of
Appeals reversed itself from de-
cision handed down in June, 1921.
The court divided two to one on the
question. The dissenting opinion, rem
dered by Chief Justice Smyth, assailed
the right of Associate Justices Van
Orsdel and Robb to rehear the case,
brought by local hospital to enjon
the wage board from enforcing the
law.
The majority opinion, however, de-
nounced the minimum wage law which
it declared would take from every
American citizen the most sacred
safeguard the Constitution affords, the
right to bargain and sell his labor for
the highest wage his skill and effic-
iency affords"
mo greater calamity could befall
the wage earners of the country" the
opinion asserted, than to have the
legislative power to fix wages upheld
Take from the citizen this most sacred
safeguard and the laborer would
be reduced to an automaton-a mere
creature of the State. 1t is paternal-
ism in the highest degree, and the
struggle of the centuries to establish
the principle that State exists for the
citizen and not the citizen for the
State would be lost"
The opinion added that the act
could not be vindicated as proper
exercise of the public power nor could
it be classed as law to tide over
an emergency on which ground some
wartime legislation has been upheld
by the courts.

Boston-When returns from little
more than half of the election pre-
cincts in Massachusetts had been
counted, Senator Lodge, Republican,
was trailing 1890 votes behind Gas
ton, Democrat. The precincts counted
were from all parts of the State and
Included all but 10 of the 274 pre-

cincts was CASTOR, 17S,600; Lodge,
174,S10.
Returns from 1853 precincts, includ-
ing 270 in Boston, gave Governor Cox
(Rep.) lead of 1857 over Fitzgerald
(Dem.), the vote being: Cox, 9S,003
Fitzgerald, 1SS.436.
Speaker Gillett, of the National
House of Representatives was re-
elected in the Second district. In the
Sixteenth Congressional district, with
more than two-thirds of the precincts
counted, Clifford (Rep) was leading
Doran (Dem.) by 1884.

These early returns from about one
ninth of the voting districts showed
Congressman Simeon D. Fess, Repub-
lican, leading Senator Atlee Pomerene
for United States Senator by more
than $500 votes.
About an equal number of voting
districts showed A. v. Donahey, Dem
ocrat, leading Carmi A. Thompson,
Republican and President Harding's
personal choice, in the gubernatorial
race, by almost 5000 votes.

MARYLAND.

Baltimore.-The Democrats carried
the State of Maryland, electing Will
liam Cabell Bruce to the United States
Senate over DR.. Joseph I. France by
about $4,000 majority. In Baltimore
City Mr.. Bruce's majority over his
Republican opponent was more than
5000.
,The counties will give nearly as
much majority for Mr.. Bruce as was
rolled up in the city. The successful
candidates are:
United States Senator = William
Cabell Bruce. Democrat; majority les
timated), $4,000.
House of Representatives.
First District-T. Alan Goldsbor
ough, Democrat; reelected.
Second Dstpict-Millard E. Tyd-
ings, Democrat.
Third District-John Philip HILL Re-
publican, reelected; majority, 1925.
Fourth District. Charles Linthi-
cum, Democrat; reelected.
Fifth District-Sydney E. Mudd, Re-
publican; reelected
Sixth District-Frederick N. Zihl-
man, Republican; reelected.
Judge of Supreme Bench Of Balti-
more City-Duke Bond, Democrat.
AS the result of the election the
vets gain one member ofathe House
of Representatives from Maryland.
The new member from the Second
District, Colonel Tydings, ran on a
platform in opposition to the Volstead
law. He will succeed Albert A. Blak-
eney, dry, whom he defeated for re-
election.
In the Third district Representative
Hill made sweep, showing under his
opponent, Antony Dimarco. by a ma
jority of nearly 5000 votes.
All Of the constitutional amend
ments were carried by an overwhelm
ing vote in Baltimore City, while the
majority of the county votes were cast
against them. While the vote in the
counties has not all been returned II
is not likely that 1t will be sufficient
to defeat any of these amendments
Therefore it appears that Baltimore
City will be given increased repre-
sentation in the General Assembly.
The Baltimore City school loan went
through by rousing majority and the
one branch City Council charter
amendment was also carried by bis
vote.

whelming plurality. Returns indicate
that all 10 Congressional districts
have been carried by the Democrats.
The Seventh and Ninth districts
were alone in doubt, and T. w. Har
rison, in the Seventh, has defeated
John Paul, his Republican rival, by
from 5000 to 5000 votes.
Returns indicate that Swanson
swept all 10 districts. His regular
Republican rival, ]. Williamson Nc
Gavock who lives in the Ninth, nor
mally Republican, received good
vote there. McGavock, also apparent
ly received good vote in the Seventh.
Indications are that the negro Re-
publican candidate, Matt N. Lewis,
ran far behind McGavock.
But few negroes were observed at
the polls here, and reports from over
the State indicated that they turned
out very poorly in other sections.
1t was foregone conclusion that

Spangler, Pa.-More than so miners

in an explosion in Reilly Mine of the
Reilly Coal Company near here.
Thirty blanched survivors of the
explosion, most of them young men,
lay on double row of cots in the
miners hospital here anxiously watch.
ing the entrance to the big room.
They were the known survivors of the
94 miners who went into the mine
few minutes before a terrific ex-
plosion. The exact number of dead
was still undetermined, although it
was the opinion of trained rescue
leaders that perhaps fifty or sixty had
lost their lives.
Their vigil began when the first
eight were brought to the hospital.
The entrance of stretcher-bearers
meant that another comrade had been
dragged from an underground sea of
gas.
AT 7.20 o'clock A. NJ. the explosion
occurred in the heart of the mine. As
soon as miners from neighboring pits
could reach the mine preliminary work
of rescue began and it was supple
mented later in the day by trained
engineers from the United States Bu-
reau of Mines in Pittsburgh and the
rescue crews of neighboring mines.
The rescue men all told the same
story as they came to the surface.
They declared that bodies were scat
tered through the workings for more
than 500 feet
"The sad part of it," said one sturdy
miner, lis that at least 20 of the
victims were within a hundred feet
of fresh air when they were overcome
by the gas"
Men, women and children by the
score crowded the police lines near
the shaft. Many of them had been
there since they heard of the ex-
plosion early in the day, and there
was no indication they would leave
their posts until the last body had
been brought out.
On the cot of honor at the hospital
rests youth of %. His name is Abe
Craig. His GOODNESS saved at least a
dozen lives.
