CHILD LABOR LAW
HELD TO BE INVALID
Supreme Court Rules Excise
Tax Therein Conflicts With
Powers Of States.

WASHINGTON. May 15.--The child la
Dor law was declared unconstitutional
to-day by the Supreme Court.
The law. enacted In 1919, was in
tended to regulate the employment of
children in any mill. cannery, workshop,
factory or manufacturing establishment
under the age of IA or In any mine or
quarry under 16 years by imposing an
excise tax of 10 per cent. upon the net
annual profits Of those employing such
labor.
1t was attacked on the ground it at
tempted to regulate an exclusively State
function in violation of the Federal Con-
stitution 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 Con-
stitution.
The opinion was delivered by Chief
Justice Taft with no dissent announced.
The case was discussed at length in
view of previous decisions involving
questions bearing upon the taxing power
of Congress and the law was held in
valid as an attempt by Congress to reg
ulate through it's taxing power some
thing entirely within the jurisdiction of
the various States in the exercise of
their police power.
Does this law impose a tax with only
that incidental restraint and regulation
which a tax must inevitably involve?'
the Chief Justice asked, ''or does it
regulate by the use of the so-called tax
as a penalty? If tax 1t Is clearly
an excise. IF it were an excise on a
commodity or other thing of value we
might not be permitted under previous
decisions of this court to infer solely
from its heavy burden that the act in
n. - -
But this act is more
After analyzing the principal features
OF the law and it's operation. the Chief
Justice said: I'm the light of these
features of the act court must be
blind not to see that the so-caled tax
Is imposed to stop the employment of
children within the age limits pre-
scribed'
Its prohibitory and regulatory ef-
feet and purpose are palpable," he
added. 'All others can see and under
stand this. How can we properly shut
our minds to it?'
Declaring it the duty Of the court
to decline to recognize or enforce laws
of Congress dealing with subjects not
intrusted to Congress but left by the
supreme law of the land to the con-
troll of the States. the Chief Justice
said the court must perform that duty
even though 1t require us to refuse
to give effect to legislation designed
to promote the highest good"
There comes n time" he said. I'm
the extension of the penalizing fea-
lures of the so-called tax when it loses
it's character as such and becomes a

Of regulation and punishment. Such
Is the case in the law before us. AL

CAN'T SHIP LIQUORS
THROUGH THE US.
Supreme Court Rules Against
Transport Of Intoxicants
for Foreign Lands.
Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HnArD

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HUArp.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c., May is.
Shipment of liquor through the United
States from one foreign country to an
other was made legally impossible under
decision handed down to-day by the
United States Supreme Court.
The decision applies even to the trans
fer of intoxicants from one ship to an
other in New York and other ports. II
practically nullfes the revised statutes
with respect to the question as well as
treaties with foreign countries. although
this last is by implication.
In a dissenting opinion Justices Day.
McKenna and Clark emphasized what
they regarded as Inconsistencies between
the opinion and the prohibition law.
The majority opinion OF the court,
holding that liquor cannot be shipped
through American territory in any cir
cumstances. said
The Eighteenth Amendment meant
a Government revolution in the policy
of this country and obviously meant
to upset good many things on as
well as off the statute books.
1t forbade the expectation for bev-
erage purposes elsewhere. True, this
discouraged production here. but that
was forbidden already and the pro-
vision applied to liquors already law
I fully made.
It Is obvious that those whose
wishes and opinions were embodied
in the amendment meant to stop the
whole business. They did not want
intoxicating liquors in the United
States and reasonably may have be-
lieved that If they let 1t in some of 1t
was likely to stay
in dissenting from the opinion Of the
majority Justices Day, McKenna and
Clark held that the United States should
not try to impose It's will upon the
whole world with respect to alcohol.
and also emphasized that the Govern
ment should be strong enough to pro-
tect liquor shipped through the country.
The Supreme Courts action in the
case came in connection with two ap-
peals from lower courts. The Anchor
Line Steamship Company appealed from
the decision of New York court which
refused to grant an injunction restrain
ing the internal revenue collector there
from interfering with the transfer OF
liquor from one ship to another. The
decision of the New York court was
| upheld by the Supreme Court.
In Michigan, however. an injunction
was issued by a lower court in sim
| liar case. The injunction was otaineo
by Hiram Walker & Sons. Ltd, to pre-.
vent the Internal Revenue Collector
| from interfering with shipments ot
LIQUOR from Canada to Mexico The

Here To-day.
EXECUTIVES TO CONFER

Wall Street bankers of international
States Steel Corporation and many
other prominent men of finance and
business will be called to testify be-
fore the Lockwood committee on
housing when it investigates the pro-
posed merger of six Independent steel
companies soon after reconvening
next Thursday.
1t was learned yesterday that the
Lockwood committee will conduct it's
own inquiry independent of any Con-
gressional action growing out Of Sena-
tor La Follette's resolution in the
Senate last Friday. The steel merger
building material comes directly in
line with the work tie committee has
been doing.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel to the
committee, said last night the merger
has been under observation for six
weeks About that time the committee
had started to issue subpoenas for
officials of the merging corporations
and the Wall street group believed to
be behind the merger.
Tour Delayed Action.
The work was halted, however, when
a number of executives left New York
on a. tour of inspection Of the various
steel plants which are to be combined.
This tour completed. the committee is
ready to summon witnesses.
Thopoaa T Chm adho,trpa Wau ctrept
counsel for the steel merger, issued a
statement yesterday In which he denied
there was ''any thought of violating
the Sherman law or Clayton act" The
statement was headed. "Apropos of the
La Toilette Resolution" 1t denied. also.
that the new combination would "act
In concert with the United States Steel
Corporation or any other competitor .
and pointed out that the production
Of the six companies was but Is or IT
per cent. of the total steel production
of the United States.
Mr.. Untermyer. when this statement
was shown to him. shrugged his shoul-
ders The amount of the production,
he said. has no bearing on the matter.
He seemed sceptical about the state
nent regarding competition with the
United States Steel Corporation.
The names of the witnesses who will
be examined by the committee will be
made public later, Mr.. Untermyer said.
Three Meetings Held.
Three meetings to be held to-day are

pendent steel companies and the meet
lngs Of the directors OF the Bethlehem

TURKISH ATROCITIES
DEFIANCE OF ALLIES
British Want U. S. to Join
With France and Italy in
Investigation.

LONDON, May is (Associated Press).-
Great Britain has asked for the coopera-
tion Of the United States, France and
Italy In investigating the recent atroc-
tiles by Turks on Christian minorities
In Asia Minor reported by the American
Relief Administration recently, Austen
Chamberlain announced in the House Of
Commons to-day.
T. p. O'Connor had asked If the Gov
ernment had demonstrated with the
Turkish authorities over the murder OF
10000 Greeks. followed by the seizure
of their widows and daughters and the
starving of their children to death.
Mr.. Chamberlain said confirmation
had been received OF the statements
made by Major of the American Relief
Administration indicating deportatons
by the Turks in a deliberate plan to get
rid of the minorities. Witnesses had
said that the Turks in preference used
winter weather for driving the deportees
to the mountains. and that 1900 bodies
had been counted on one road, while
1000 persons had.died on another.
The probability of International
action to rescue the remaining non
Turkish populations in Asia Minor was
indicated by the Daily TeIegraphs dip
lomatic correspondent, who said the
recent and continuing deportations and
massacres behind Mustapha Kemal
Pasha's lines are unprecedented even
in Turkish history. They surpass In
magnitude those of 'Gladstone's day
and those Of 1915. not being sporadic
but systematic, and aimed at complete
determination of the Christian races.
The writer intimated that the United
States may be expected to concern it
self on behalf of the non-Turkish popu-
lations.
