EFFORT To STOP
CHILD LABOR IS
HELD Be INVALID
Supreme Court Holds Tax Imposed
by Congress to Prevent Practice
Illegal; Case Comes up from
North Carolina.

Washington, May 1.-THE supreme
court today declared invalid the sec
ond attempt of congress to prevent
child labor throughout the nation
In an appeal from decision of a
North Carolina court, the supreme
court held that tax imposed by
congress on child labor and its prod
ucts with the view of eliminating
the working of children, was illegal.
The tax was carried in the reve-
nue. act of 1918 and was enacted
after the supreme court held that
congress could not use its regula-
tory power over interstate commerce
to prevent the interstate shipment
of child labor products.
The suit was brought by Eugene
T. Johnston and others in behalf Of
North Carolina child workers against
the Atherton mills of Charlotte, the
government backing the mills in the
effort to have the law upheld.

Want American Credits.

The United States is to be in.
vited in order that she may supply
these credits.
The plan for The Hague is for the
allies and the United States to meet
and appoint single committee of
experts on Russia, in whose hands
the entire problem of relations and
credits can be placed.
Meanwhile. the Genoa conference
is to be adjourned. 1t will be-
wound up with plenary session
this week, and commissions appoint
ed not by the conference but by in
dividual governments, will meet at
The Netherlands capital next month.
This is the plan. The Russians
who blocked all efforts at agreement
here, have not agreed to 1t. The
political sub-commission was to meet
today to approve 1t, but the soviet
delegation, which has expressed its
disapproval Of the scheme, held tho
power to prevent this last effort at
agreement.

Two Versions Of Plan.

There are two versions Of what Is
to be done at The Hague. The ~.
sue probably will be fought out in
the political commission. Great
Britain proposed that the allies ap-
point commissions to meet with the
Russians at The Hague, after spend
ing month in consideration OF the
difficulties in the path of a Rus.
sian settlement. The French had
different version of what had been
decided upon. They declared the
allies, and America should meet
June Is and then, il 1t was so de-
cided, the Russians should be called
later in the month to hear the ver-
dict.
Thus Lloyd George won half a
battle, for the French agreed to
treat with the Russians at The
Hague under these conditions. On
the other hand, the French insist
ence that America join, and that
the allies and the United States ar
range everything beforehand, was
not a. all Lloyd Georges idea, and
certainly not Tchitcherin's.
Soviets objectlng.
The soviet leader declared the
proposition unacceptable.
Another feature of the plan for
adjournment to The Hague was that
all nations would agree to make no
separate agreement with Russia in
the interim. This was found highly
Objectionable by Tchitcherin.
Out of the wreck of the Genoa
conference, which practically came
to an end when the political sub
commission failed to reach agree
ment Saturday on the Russian re-
ply, Lloyd George may produce his
non-aggression past.
