CHILD LABOR LAW DECLARED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL BY COURT
Held Invalid As an Attempt
By Congress to Regulate
Matters Within the Jurlsdic-
tion of the Several States.

Washington, May 1.-THE ch:lf ia
Dor law was declared uncon onstitut:onai
today by the supreme court.
The Law, enacted in 1919. was intend
ed to regulate employment OF children
in any mill. cannery. workshop. factory
or manufacturing establishment under
the age OF fourteen. or in any mine or
quarry under sixteen by imposing an e1-
else tax Of ten percent on the net annual
profits Of those employing such LABOR
II was attacked on the ground that II
attempted to regulate An exclusively
state function. in violation Of the fed
cral constitution and the tenth amend
ment, and WAS defined AS a mere excise
tax levied by congress under its power
OF taxation.
no Dissenting optn3o1
The law was attacked in the Supreme
court by three cases from North Caro-
lima appealed by the government. Two
OF these the Atherton Mills and that by
John J. George and others were dis
missed on tcChnicalities. but the case
brought by the Drexel Furniture C6ua-
pany was found in proper form and 1t
was In that the law was declared invalid
The opinion was delivered By Chief
Justice Taft with no dissent Announced.
The case was discussed At length in
view Of the previous dectkions iuvoiv-
ing questions bearing on the taxing
power Of congress-, and the Law was held
invalid, as an attempt by congress to
regulate through its taxing power some
thing within the Jurisdiction o< the vHr-
ious states by the e1ercass Of their
police power.
fhs QUESTION PrV0GEDd
The question presented. As ths so~-
ernmcnt saw IT,. was whether m act OF
congress imposing an excise tax could
be invalidated on the assumption" that
the real motive was not 10 collect reve-
nue. but 10 regulate child labor.
The discretion Of Congress IN detern-
lining what should be made the subject
of an eKcIs~ tax, the Solicitor General
Coutended was llmitless with the one
exception that il cannot be used to de-
stroy the purely governmental agencies
Of the States. without such Iimita-
ton, he said the dual form Of govern
ment should not continue. He added
that while the courts would assume that
the object OF the tax was 10 raise rev.
enue il was not necessary. 10 sustain
the constitutionality OF the child labor
law TO prove that such would be IL
effect.
Tho government further suggested in
presenting arguments that where stat.
ute prohibited the doing OF an act AMI
imposed a pecuniary punishment for i;a
violation. Il was a punitive penalty a.
distinguished from a tax, but where tie

an e1cise tax for the privilege Of d0inS

M'CUMBER SEES
AGREEMENT ON
TARIFF REPORT
Chairman of Finance Commit.
tee Prepared to Move for
Approval of Conference

Washington, Sept. 14.-The tariff
bill was to be ret-- rec today to the
Senate by the House with request
for second conference. Chairman
McCumber of the Senate finance COM
mittee, was prepared to move to
agree to the conference and he be-
lieved that differences between the
two bodies could be adjusted quickly,
The second conference is,made nec-
essary by the action of the House
late yesterday in instructing its man
ager to accept the Senate amend
ment eliminating the proposed duty
on potash and to agree to strike out
the provision for continuation of the
present dye embargo licenesing &C,
for one year. "
Although Senator, McCumber be-
lieved there would be no difficulty
in reaching a new agreement in con.
ference, some republican leaders in
the house were not prepared to say
whether there would be tariff bill
at this session Of congress. They
apparently were surprised not only
at the almost unprecedented atcion
Of the house in recommitting such
an important measure after COM
plete agreement had been reached by
the conferecs, but also at the op-
position that DEVELOPED on the major
ity side.
This opposition was not confined
to the dye embargo and potash pro"
visions. Some members attacked the
raw wool and sugar rates and some
of the agricultural and other duties.

London, Sept. 1.-THE eastern sit

ccrn here. This is reelected in the
editorial columns of the morning
newspapers, some Of which adopt a
distinctly alarmist tone.
"A grave crisis" confronts the
power, says one, while others declare
the situation is driving to the dan
ger point. that "all the elements
are present for another flareup Of
war;" and that "the powers must
act at once, and in agreement; if
they fail to agree, nothing but q mir
acle can avert disaster

all is fear lest France, although
agreeing to maintenance of the neu-
trality of Constantinople and the

prevent the cooperation Of Great
Britain. :" 49,
Those papers which are habitually
suspicious Of France comment
strongly on her. tenderness for the
Turk and insist that the latter can
not be allowed to recover Thrace

France is willing to give them.

Fear Of an attack on Constanti-
nople by the Turkish Nationalists

ment has brought to the front the
question of the whereabouts Of the
main Kemalist army, which appar-
emily has never entered Symrna.
Z The urgent need of the quickest

a suggestion for an immediate con-
ference is conspicuously put for

Los Angeles, Sept. William s.
"Bill" Hart Sr., motion picture actor
and William S. Hart, Jr., one week
old, met for the first time yesterday.
Hart went to the home of his wife,
Winifred Westover, screen actress,
at Santa Monica, a suburb, and ask
ed to see his son. Mrs. Hart would
not allow her baby to be carried
downstairs but asked Bill to come
inside. I
Afterward Hart declared in answer
to d question that the meeting did
not mean a reconciliation with his
wife from whom he has been estrang-
ed from for some time. He charac-
tcrized domestic peace as "impos-
sible." Yet he was glad he had gone
to the home.
"Say," Hart exclaimed after leav-
ing. "That isn't a baby; that's man.
He looks like me too. He's got his
mothers nose-broader than mine at
the base. But he's got my head and
just my eyes. When he gets big he's
going to be long, tall chap like me
too. I'm in right with him now; !

he isn't my baby. He's mine through

Tears came to Bills eyes and .
queer little crooked smile played
over his lips. &'
Reports that Hart had reached 9

wife was verified by Mrs. Hart's at

complete settlement had not been
effected and that his client would
ask for a much larger sum when the

ACCEPTANCE BY
BY MORE ROADS
Is PREDICTED.
Washington Officials Say
One. Third of Roads Agree
To End Rail Strike
HARDING IS PLEASED
Expansion of Business Is
Predicted by Officials
After Settlement

Washington, Sept. 14.-Advices to
the Labor Department today from its
representatives in Chicago said the
railroads approximating IS percent
of the couhtry's mileage had signi-
fled their intention of ending the
sh opmen's strike on the basis Of tho
agreement accepted yesterday by the
shop crafts general policy committee
and that roads representing an addi-
tional 30 percent were ready to end
the strike. .....
The commission decided upon to
adjudicate the differences between
workers and rail heads, as provided
under the agreement, labor depart
ment officials were informed. will
be composed Of six shop crafts
representatives and not officials of
the railroad brotherhoods as orig
inally provided. Section four of
the agreement, the advices further
explained, was interpreted in Chi
cago by union workers to mean that
the railroads signatory to the
agreement will meet union repre-
sentatives on wage questions and
all other matters growing out of
the strike and upon failure to agree
on points at issue the questions un-
der dispute will be referred to the
commission provided for in section
five.
Officials Pleased
The development in the rail
strike situation was received with
satisfaction by all administration
officials including President Hard
ing. Many would not comment for
publication preferring to wait un-
til an actual settlement had been
reached, but at the treasury, it was
said that. Secretary Mellon took
the. view that with an end. to in
dustrial troubles the outlook for
business was "very good"
Mr.. Mellon was said, however, to
see limitations upon the transpor-
tation facilities of the railroads,
which would prohibit any enormous
expansion of business activity in
the immediate future. Shortage of
equipment and possible labor
shortages are the limiting factors
in Melons opinion. a
Can Handle Coal
Normally the raj ilroads of the
country require about 100000 cars
a year added to their rolling stock
equipment, it was asserted, and as
this supplement of rolling stock
has not been kept up the carriers
ability to handle traffic would be
limited. for the present.
Nevertheless Mr.. Mellon was
represented as seeing no difficulty
ahead of the carriers in supplying
the needs and requirements o. the
country over the winter particu-
larly in the matter of coal.

COAL RUSH TO
DOCKS CLAIMED
One Railroad Places an En-
barge Upon Shipments

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 14.-The
influx Of bituminous coal to Lake
Erie points is so great that the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, one
of the principal carriers Of coal ii
the soft coal regions, placed a tenn
porary embargo on all shipments,
to continue until all docks at east
ern points are able to load the fuel,
C. P. White, federal distributor for
the Northwest, was advised today.
The coal is coming in such large
quantities that dock facilities can
not cope with the situation and the
embargo was made necessary to
clear the congestion, Mr.. White
said.
Mr.. White again emphasized the
need of consumers of coal in the
Northwest, including the public
utilities companies, to begin the
purchase Of their supplies Of BIZ
luminous if the coal is to begin to
move into this district.
