DECISION NOT ID
 AFFECT STATELAW.
Alabama Will Continue En- forcement of Child Labor
 Provisions
By FRED H. GoRMLEx Montgomery Bureau, The Age-Herald, z2l-2 Eirnt National Rank Rutlding

Montgomery, May 16.-(Special.)- Enforcement of the law prohibiting the employment of children in in- dustry in Alabama will not be af- fected by the decision of the supreme court Monday, which invalidated tho federal child labor law. It became known today that the state laws en- acted in 1919 are similar to those of the government in so far as ef fectiveness is concerned.
 Officers of the state child welfare department propose to continue the enforcement of the state laws. The entire certificating and enforcement system in Alabama was based on state law, and not on federal law, and this will prevent the need for any change in the manner of en- forcement.
 It is not proposed to lot up in the work, and Mrs. L. B. Bush, director of the department. said she expected to continue to receive the full CO., operation of the cotton mills and other industries which have been em- ploying children.
 The federal law levied tax ef 10 Der cent of the price on all goods manufactured with child labor and shipped from one state to another state. This high tax was levied in order to make child labor a subject for federal legislation, but the su- preme court. in its decision. held that child labor laws were exclusively within the powers Of the state and could not be enacted by the federal government

 EXCITEMENT FOLLOWS GOVERNMENTS DEFEAT IN HOUSE OF COMMONS

London, May 16.--The defeat of the government in the House of Commons tonight on a. asquestion of minor importance caused excitement out of all proportions to the amount of principle involved. Austen Cham berlain, the government leader in the House. had an informal conference with his chief colleagues, and it was decided that a cabinet council should be convened to meet tomorrow to de- eide upon the governments action which decision will be communicated to the House of Commons tomorrow afternoon.
 The defeat of the government was brought about not only the actual questions whether teachers should contribute five per cent of their sal aries to the superannuation fund. which would mean saving to the government of less than 2.500,0 pounds yearly. but on Lord Robert Cecil's motion to adjourn the debate. Lord Chamberlain in resisting this motion was warned by many of the ministerial party that they would vote against him but he declined to budge. The die hards," laborites and Asquithian liberals went solidly with the opposition.

wages have fallen from 125 per cent

wages have fallen from 125 per cent of the cost of living to 100 per cent; and many of our business men themselves are filled with unrest be- cause profits have fallen to, or be- low. the pre-war basis.
 Unrest is the direct result of the disappearance of relative luxury or accustomed privileges. Prosperity and depression are always relative.
 Our banking and fiscal systems are not free from danger. There is widespread resentment against the Federal Reserve system, not only in the agricultural sections, but also in the financial districts, in spite of the fact that this system undoubt- edly saved us from the financial panic not less than three times. The new budget system of our National government is in danger. Issues of municipal, state, and county bonds last year totaled $120O, ,0U0. 900. against s474. .00o,0 900 in 1914; and 1t is not certain that states and mu- inequalities are going to avoid infla- tionist expenditures. Paper money inflationis1s are being heard again, and. unfortunately, are being led by men who have great talent in some fields but deplorably little ability in the application of monetary prIe- ciples.
 In brief, there is no questions whatsoever but that diversity ore ates Bolshevism. and prosperity promises conservatism. This is an old-established' principle, not mere- ly throughout our own history, but. also throughout the history of every republic or democracy that ever ex- isted. We are unfamiliar with the principle mainly because of the lack of popular interest in the psychol- ogy of party politics. People seem. to resent the application. of psycho- logical laws to their own thoughts and opinions.

POLITICAL UNREST

.Paul Clay, in Forbes Magazine.
 How many of us realize that our banking, fiscal and financial sys- tems are all threatened more or less seriously by the existing political unrest? It is not new situation. but rather a condition which fol- lows every great war, and which recurs whenever . business depres- sion of any kind becomes serious enough to produce deep and general 'discontent We experienced the same thing after the Civil War, and in a
 smaller degree after the War of 1912. Great Britain went through the same experience from 1919 to 1S4o.
