Washington. May ls.--The child

II attempted 10 regulate an exclusive
~ state function in violation OF the
federal constitution and the tenth
amendment. and was defended as a
mere excise tax levied by congress
under its broad power OF taxation
conferred by the federal constitution.
Three Cases Filed.
The law was attacked in the su-
prcme court by three cases from
North Carolina, appealed by the
government Two of these, the
Aiherton mills and that BY John

brought by the Drcxcl Furniture

and il was in that the Law was de-
clared invalid.
The opinion was delivered by Chic.
Justice Taft with no dissent am
nouneed. The case was discussed at
length.
Refuse to Discuss Decision.
Officials of the Internal revenue
bureau declined to discuss the de-
cision until they had all opportunity
TO read the full opinion, but stated
that the amount OF money involved
in taxes was small and that the
child labor bureau. employing about
50 persons. would be dismissed.
Does this law impose a tax with
only that incidental restraint and
regulation which tax must in
evitably involve:" the chief justice
asked. "or does it regulate the use
