u. S. SUPREME COURT
in NOTABLE DECISION
Holds District of Columbia Law is In
valid and Decision Affects
Other States.
(By Associated Press Leased wirel

Washington, D. G. - The minimum
wage law by which congress sought to
regulate the minimum wages to be
paid women and minor girls in the
District Of Columbia was declared I'M
constitutional today by the supreme
court.
Both Chief Justice Taft, who also
spoke for Justice Sanford and Justice
Homes, declared it had been we'll es-
tablished by decision to which they
referred that the right of private con-
tracts could be abridged or regulated
by law
They did not agree that there was
any difference in law between the
regulation of working conditions and
wages, insisting that inasmuch as it
was well established that the former
could be regulated by law, it followed
in their opinion, that the latter also
could be.
The, constitutionality of the Dis
trict of Columbia law had been attack
ed on the ground that it abridged the
freedom of contract for personal SEW
lative discretion. 1t was defended as
a police regulation to promote public
health and the the safety, morals and
welfare Of the people. The court of
appeals after once sustaining the law,
had ordered a re-hearing and then
reversed itself.
The states of California, Kansas.

Washington obtained consent of the
supreme court to intervene in the
case as friends of The court. They all
have wage-fxing statutes of their
own.
Today's decision was made by di-
vided bench with Chief Justice Taft
and Justices Sanford and Homes dis
senting and with Judge Brandeis tax
ing no part in the proceedings.
The majority opinion was delivered
by Justice Sutherland. While the
right to regulate conditions of labor
was we'll recognized by long list
of cases, he said the. regulation by
two of the minimum wages was a
direct and unconstitutional amend
ment to dictate by law as the terms
of contract by which the employee
disposed of his services to. the en-
ployer.
While labor organizations were to
be commended, Justice Sutherland con-
tinued, in their efforts to raise wages,
the worker would never be willing to
recognize without question, the right
Of any law making body to stipulate
what he should receive as the maxi
mum for his service. Justice Suther-
land emphasized that the desire Of the
court to sustain the law were it pos
sible.
The dissenting opinions took direct
issue with the majority on the differ
entiation which the court had drawn

'SYMMONDS HAS
ANOTHER CARD
May Ask Court to AppOr'
ton Illegal Votes Be-
tween Candidates.
CLAIMS A MAJORITY

Indication that Attorney Frank s.
Symnonds, who is relator in the quo
warranto proceedings brought to con-
test the office Of district attorney
of Kenosha County, has another
trump card to play in the event that
his present contention that the election
was illegal is not upheld by the court,
was given this morning when 1t be-
came known that he was considering
the possibility of asking that the al
legged illegal votes be apportioned be-
tween the two candidates. The way
Tor such a request to the court has
been paved by the complaint in the
case according to the statement made
by Attorney Symmonds this morning.
Heretofore it has appeared that the
5attle in the courts conferred around
The legality Of the election, it be-
ing held by Attorney Symmonds that
because of the fact that many persons
Who voted had not been properly reg
stored, the election could be declar-
d void and that he would become
he district attorney as hold over
rom the last term. District Attorney
Iorris Barnett who is the present in
.umbent of the office and the de-
'endent in the action was declared
,lected by the canyassing board and
alter this decision was upheld by the
circuit court.
Claims a Majority.
Attorney Symmonds made it clear
Aat he had not in the least abandon
I'd his former contention that he was
district attorney by reason of the fact
chat certain alleged Irregularities
took place at the election and that
the court would be asked to rule on
this contention first. He claims,
however, that even if the election was
held valid, he might ask for an ap,
portionment of the 584 votes which
he claims we're cast by unregistered
voters.
He declares that the apportionment
of these votes according to the meth
DDS prescribed by law would give him
a majority of 1872.
Raises KnOtty Problem.
1t was admitted that the contention
would raise a knotty problem. The
defense no doubt will demand that
Attorney Symmonds show that these
votes at the election were cast for
his opponent which might be impOs-
sible to show in the courts. If such
an apportionment WAS made it would
also be possible to demand the same
sort Of action in ayyther wards which
mi~ht produce another result.
This procedure, however, would
make it possible to rule on the cleo
ton Of the district attorney without
affecting the outcome of the election
so far as other offices are concerned

Kenosha Collects "a Times
as Many Fines in 1922
as in 1920. 4
LIQUOR MEN REPEAT
Fines Have Not Stopped the
Traffic in Intoxicating
Drink Here.

The fines handed out in the NUM-
cipal court of Kenosha county for
the year 1922 run on an average of
$3.50 apiece, according to report of
the fines collected for the past year,
given out today by the clerk. The mu-
nicipal court collected for the year
$24 1896 in fines and there were 1877
convictions in which fines were col
lected. This sum does not include
court costs, which would bring the
sum to still greater total. While
the average is indicated as $3.50, the
fines themselves vary from thu mini
mum of 500 under the law to $500
or $500. The larger fine. however,
has been the exception, rather than
the rule, imposed in only few cases
of extreme brazenness and defiance of
the law
A number of the liquor cases which
are brought into the municipal court
are those of old offenders, or else Of
new liquor men who are offending at
old stands, as there are a number Of
addresses such as 33 North Main St.,
S52 Grand avenue, and II North Main
Street, which have become we'll known
to the police sponge squad in charge
Of raid-making.
Report Shows Fines.
The report of fines collected in the
lower court here is shown in the quar-
terly statements rendered the county
treasurer covering liquor cases in
the circuit branch of the municipal
court for year 1922, and the figures
are given as follows:
January, February, March Fines
collected Cess court costs $7,475.00;
number of cases, 40.
April, May, June Fines collected
(less court costs) $3,145.0O; number Of
cases, 20.
July. August, September Fines
collected Cess court 'costs) $4,941.36;
number of cases, 33.
October, November, December -
Fines collected (less court costs),
$8,9S7.60 number Of cases, az.
Total number of cases 1877.
Total fines collected $24,548.96.
Prohibition Report Errs.
In the report of the state prohi-
bition commissioner for 1922 Kenosha
is listed as having 318 convictions
and $24,O75 fines. collected. That
there has been some error here is
obvious from the fact that in the mu-
nicipal court alone as shown by the
figures of the clerk, there were 1877
cases and $24,548.96 fines. In the
circuit court for 1922 there were a
number of convictions in liquor cases
arising out of grand jury indictment
and many large fines imposed.
Kenosha> does show up favorably
for 1922 in police and court activities
so far as prohibition enforcement is
concerned, particularly in contrast to
the activities, here in 1920 and in 1921.
In 1920 there were only eleven con-
victions and $1,650 in fines collected,
and in 1921 there were 80 convictions
and $4,225 fines collected.

London.-The most important part of
the present parliamentary session be-

there are critical times ahead of the
