Editorial Comment
Child Labor Decision
(Public Iedger)

The decision of the United States
| Supreme Court declaring the Child
/ Labor Law in conflict with the Con-
Will be received with mixed feelings.
| The foes of Child labor will be cast
down. The friends and upholders of
| the Constitution will take heart and
courage. The Supreme Court has re-
| discovered that the States have
rights guaranteed them by the Con-
| stitution.
The Child Labor Law aimed at re-
suits that the Nation wants and ap-
proves. 1t was passed in the nation
al interest and for the highest
good. 1t sought to use the taxing
powers of Congress as a penalizing
| and policing power. Child labor was
to be taxed out of existence by the
imposition of a 10 per cent tax on all
the net profits of any person or corp
| grafton using child labor as defined
in the act.
| 1t was defined on two grounds:
First, that it was based upon the
highest good" and second, that it
was legally sound under the very
broad powers of Federal taxation. 1t
has been upset upon even stronger,
broader and more fundamental
grounds. In setting aside the law
and in dealing with the assertion that
the measure was based upon the
"highest good" the opinion written
by Chief Justice Taft and concurred
! in by all the Justices contains two
/ Congress and by all those interests,
and they are legion who seek to put
through legislation that is benevolent,
wcll-intended and making for better
ment in specific cases, but is at the
same time unconstitutional. Said
Chief Justice Taft:
The good sought in unconstitution-
al legislation is an insidious feature
because it leads citizens or legislators
of good purpose to promote it with
out thought of the serious breach it
will make in the Ark of our Coven-
ant. of the harm that will come from
breaking down recognised standards.
Grant the validity of this law and
all that Congress would need to do
hereafter in seeking to take over to
its control any of the great number
of subjects of public interest, juris-
diction of which the States have new
or parted with and which are re-
served to them by the Tenth Amend
ment, would be to enact a detailed
measure of complete regulation of
the subject and enforce it by a So
called tax upon departures from it.
would be. to break down all constitu-
tional limitations of the powers of
Congress and completely wipe out
the sovereignty of the States.
This decision recognizing the
States throws back upon them the
duty of regulating the employment
of children within their boundaries.
It will check in marked degree the
trend toward Capitalization and bu-
reaucracy and at the same time lay
a burden upon the conscience OF
those States that have failed to pro-
tect their children. For the single
cause of child protection it is check
and defeat, but one that can be
tack. AS a chcci to congressional
encroachments, it is a victory for the
organic law of the United States.

baths and lockers, thus enablinp tbe
men to leave the mines bathed and
dressed-if they so desire. In con.
nection with the above | might state
That at one of the before mentioned
operations the houses were modern
lied, and in at least 60 per cent of the
homes the bath tub was used to store
either coal or potatoes. At another
operation the company has built auto
mobile stalls for the accommodation
OF the miners, which they rent to them
1or 900 per month. This particular
operation employs approximately 200
men; has had II stalls rented and arc
now constructing II more, which are
already rented, showing an average OF

rage on the property in which they

laborers you will admit. Stores At
the operations sell in competition with
outside stores, and the majority of Tho
stores l have been in are superior TO
any In Augusta. Furthermore, the
miners are not compelled in any way
TO buy at the company stores.
The entire trouble is being causod
by the union miners trying to organ
ize the non-union fields, where i'm some
cases the rate of pay is higher than In
the union fields. The present fight is
the iln1sh OF the union and they know

When the war was on President
Wilson promised Liberia, which had
Joined the Allies, n loan of five mil
lion dollars. 1t isn't quite clear why
he was influenced to make that
promise. as he vas empowered to do
under the emergency provisions, but
it is assumed that he thought it for
the good of the cause. This loan
was not made and President Hard
ing in the interests of good faith has
taken up and recommended that the
pledge be kept. AS it appears the
promise was made i'll good faith and
for a reason IL should be kept. 1t is
not. however, equally clear that es-
tablishing a condition there such as
has been put IN force in Santo Do
mingo and Haiti is desirable. There
will be many opposed to- the idea of
any sort of n protectorate in Africa,
even TO insure by control of Liberals

WRONG, BUT HOW BE RIGHTED?

A communication from Bluefeld,
w. Va, taking up cudgels in behalf
of the coal operators objects to an
editorial in the Journal of April 90,
| in which a desire was expressed for
| information as to how the present
deplorable coal situation might be
| improved. 1t did not assume that
the consumers have little ground for
complaint. Seemingly everyone adj
mits they do have ground for COM
| plant, but that any considerable
part of this is against those who dig
it was not clear then and is not now.
| Not that the miners have conducted
themselves either wisely for their
own or their employers interests.
Could that be expected of the class of
men described by this Bluefield COR
respondent, lounging around in silk
| shirts and overalls and eating ice
cream while their employers build

capacious, ventilated, electric lighted
mines where it is a pleasure to work
and opportunity to mine 20 tons a
day at fifty cents a ton and shower
| baths to cool their blood if by some
unforeseen chance they should be-
come overheatedo Really it is diff
cult to understand why the operators
should employ at this comparatively
unsllilled labor such renegade lot.
Surely the mining conditions as de-
scribed should invite a high grade of
workmen.
! Evidently the mines he is describ-
ing are not of the kind described by
one who went from Maine to work
in them and returned with an alto
gether different story as to the con-
! ditions. AS a matter of fact it ap-
pears that many of the soft coal
mines are small affairs as compared
scrbes; also that when there is not a
strike there is overproduction of soft
coal, so far as regards the consump-
ton in this country; also that the
operators would like to be able to
mine their coal so cheaply as to sell
the surplus abroad in countries
where labor is cheaper. Under such
conditions it would appear the op-
orators to whom the correspondent
refers are doing all for the miners
that should be expected of them and
we wish they might find a class of
employees better than that which he
describes.
Accompanying the correspondents
letter were several newspaper clip
pings. From one, the Charleston
| Gazette we take the following:

ASKING TOO MUCH

In view or the clear exposition
given, Wednesday evening. by Henry
f. Merrill Of the Maine Commission
on Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
of the st. Lawrence project Augusta
people have no need Of further data
to support the conclusion that 1t is
not one designed to be helpful to
this part Of the country. not one
which holds warrant Of being prac-
teal, and is being pushed by those
who assume it will help Montreal
and some Of our lake ports.
That no trustworthy estimate Of
the cost has been made is evident;
that the Atlantic states being those
which pay the heaviest taxes would
have TO contribute very largely to
the enterprise. which manifestly was
not designed in their favor, is likewise
evident. Certainly they should have
a say respecting it and it is crafty
ing TO learn this is just what they
propose to do.
But quite aside from the matter OF
local interest there is the general
proposition that such an enterprise
should not be seriously contemplated,
much less be hurriedly made a sub
tect OF legislation, until more definite
and trustworthy information shall be
obtained. Surely the United States
Treasury shouldn't be used to back
the enterprise until this may be done.
Nor should this be done to the injury
OF a part of our own country for the
upbuilding Of part Of another
country. And there can be no doubt
that OF such benefit as might accrue
from this enterpri-- Montreal and
Canada would receive the lions share
and the Atlantic scaboard would cor
respondingly suffer and the money
tho United States might invest in the
project would be in property, a
waterway over which it would have
no control, and which easily might
become a cause of grave dissension
and complications.
Tho Institute of American Business
makes the statement: Located prin-
cipally in Canadian territory. this
undertaking thus becomes another
link in the great system of world
transportation controlled by the
British Empire-a link largely paid
for out of the United States Treas
ury, and requiring an ultimate eX-
pcnditure of FOUR TIMES THE
COST OF THE PANAMA CANAL"
And this chould not be overlooked:
the commission chosen to consider
this project qualified its report with
these words: 1T is, therefore, de-
srable that, before any steps are
taken to carry out the commissions
recommendations, the plans of the
engineering board, together with
such comments or criticisms or al
tcrnatlNe pans as nave pecH hlcu Win
the commission by other engineers,
should he referred back to the board
enlarged by other leading members
Of the engineering profession, to the
end that the whole question be
given that further and complete study
that its magnitude and Importance
demand"
In face Of these facts there may be
found no excuse whatever for trying
to railroad this matter through be-
fore adequate information has been
obtained, an attempt which discred-
its the undertaking in advance.
