OLANDER POINTS OUT IMPORTANCE Of OLD
DECISION ON INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE

By International Labor News Service
CHICAGO, March 12.-Various
civic organizations in Chicago have
been evineing a lively interest in la
Dor legislation recently and have
been holding meetings at which
speakers on both sides Of the ques-
tion have been heard.
The labor committee of the City
Club recently heard an address by
Victor A. Olander, secretary-treas-
urer of the Illinois State Federation
of Labor, on labor's injunction hmi-
tation bill, now up for action in the
Illinois General Assembly, and which
was recently described by Interna-
tional Labor News Service.
The City Club has large member
ship, composed mainly of business
and professional men. It's commit
tees listen to arguments on various
subjects at MONDAY luncheons and
afterwards make recommendations
to the board of directors, which in
turn acts for the whole organization.
The board recently asked the legis-
lature to act favorably on the Child
Labor Amendment as the result of
this procedure.
Tells of 1911 Decision
The informal round-table discus
sipn which followed Mr.. Olanders
address on the injunction limitation
bill brought out some interesting
facts in reference to labor contracts.
Mr.. Olander mentioned the case OF
Bailey VS.. Alabama, which was de-
eided by the United States Supreme
Court in 1911. Mr.. Olander said.
that he regarded this case as the most
important one of its kind ever passed
upon by the Supreme Court, but that
both employers and employees were
too prone to regard it lightly because
Bailey was q poor southern colored
laborer,
.sThe state of Alabama had passed
statute providing that a person
who signed a contract to labor and
accepted an advance payment Of
wages, and who then failed to rem
der service could be punished on a
charge Of obtaining money under
faise pretenses," said Mr.. Olander.
y t.Bailef eas = Door eelbned 1aheraf
wia had signed such contract, hid
accepted an advance of SIS, and then
failed to go to work and could not
return the money because he had
spent it. He was arrested, tried, mad
sentenced to prison. Some persons
became interested IN the case and car
ried 1t up TO the United States Sup
reme Court Hz
Law Held Invalid
"The Supreme Court held the Ala
bamR law to be in violation Of the
thirteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution, in that the effect was to
cOerce men into rendering personal
service against their will, and that
it established a condition of involun-
tary servitude."
Mr. Olander afterwards made a
search Of his record for the Supreme
Court decision in the Bailey case SO
that International Labor News Ser
vice might publish the language en-
ployed by the Supreme Court at that
time. The court, in speaking OF the
thirteenth amendment, said:
eThe plain intention was to abolish

"As Is the Mother, So Is Her
Daughter"
Eek. 1914.

Eek. 1914.
1t is true to nature, although it be
expressed in a figurative form, that
a mother is both the morning and the
evening star of life. The light of her
eye is always the first to rise, and
often the last to set. Heaven has i'm
printed in mothers face something
beyond this world; something which
claims kindred with the skies {.
the angelic smile, the tender look,
the waking, watchful eye which
keeps it's fond vigil over her slumber-
/ ing babe. Can a mothers love be
supplied?" No, thousand times,
no! Often do 1 sigh in my struggles
with the hard, uncaring world, for
the sweet, deep security 1 felt, when
of an evening, leaning on her bosom,
l listened to some quiet christian
story, suitable to my age. read in her
tender and untiring voice. Never
can 1 forget her sweet glance cast
upon me when l appeared asleep;
never her kiss of peace at night.
Years have passed away since they
laid her to rest beside my father, yet,
still her voice whispers to me, and
her eyes seem to watch over me. Oh!
there is an enduring tenderness in
the love of mother to her children
that transcends all other affections
of the heart. 1t is neither to be chill
ed by selfishness, nor daunted by
danger, nor weakened by ingratitude.
She will sacrifice every comfort for
their convenience; she will surrender
every pleasure to their enjoyment;
she will glory in their fame and eXult
in their prosperity. If misfortune
overtakes them, they will be the
dearer to her. If the world casts
them off, she will continue to hold
them. Oh! how little do we appre-
ciate a mothers tenderness, while
| living; now needless are we In youth
of all her anxieties and kindness, but
when death has taken her, when the
cares and GOODNESS of the world come
whitening to our hearts; when we eX-
perience how hard it is to find true
friends, sympathy; how few love us;
how few will befriend us in time OF
need, then it is we think of the moth
er we lost.
Oh! mothers grave; earth has a
sacred spot in Golden Hill Cemetery
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, where I feel like
unloosing my shoes from my feet;
but of all spots on earth, none is SC
sacred as that where rests, awaiting
the resurrection, my mother.

Editor,

Editor,
St. Paul Echo,
GA Court Block,
City.
Dear Sir:
The subject matter of this letter
perhaps, does not deserve the space
which it will require in your paper,
but if it serves its purpose just to
correct a pernicious albeit persistent
rumor, l feel that your kindness will
have been repaid. Ordinarily as
secretary of the Urban League, I do
not attempt to follow rumor since
experience has taught me that from
out of the air apparently stories rel
alive to social conditions among col
ored people arise, and when disre-
garded return to the air in course of
time. If this particular rumor con-
cerned the writer, he would pay it
no heed, but since it does not, he
feels called upon to say:
The malicious but unfounded story
to the effect that a group of colored
men attempted to keep the Ford
Company from employing Negroes in
the st. Paul plant is pure fabrica-
ton. Conferences at the Ford plant
relative to the employment of Negro
workmen have been confined to the
secretaries of the Minneapolis and
st. Paul Urban League and Mr.. Ben
dick, the general manager. Any 9th
er conferences must be the result of
an over-active imagination on the
part of rather totally uniformed in
dividuals.
Very sincerely yours,
E. A. CARTER,
Executive Secretary.

Peter Gets Out of Sight.
Wherever You go you're sure to find
That out Of light is out of mind


II Peter Rabbits wits had heen
asleep, they were asleep no longer.
Peter was very much awake. He had
thought of Il way of getting out of
sight of those who were watching the
bramble-tangle, waiting for him to
come out. The snow was deep even
in the bramble- taugle. Peter, in his
brown coat, showed so plainly against
the white OF the snow that whoever
looked into that bramble-tangIe was
bound to see him. He hadn't been
able 10 find any way Of getting out
OF sight.
But now he had thought of a way,
and he was merely waiting for d
chance to make use of it while no one
was watching. He couldn't help
thinking how stupid he was not to
have thought of it before. So Peter
was very much awake as he watched
Terror the Goshawk sitting in a tree
not far away and watching him. He
know that Terror wouldn't sit there
all day. He knew that Terror would
make short, quick trips in search Of
wood mice or other little people, and
then would return to watch him. He
hadn't dared leave while Terror was
away because he knew that the lat
ter was never far away and would be
almost sure TO see him.
NOW, II seemed TO Peter mat Terror
would never leave his perch. He just
sat and sat and sat and watched and
watched and watched. But at last
he did spread his wings and fly away.
lie was gone only a few moments,
but when he returned and looked
down in that bramble- tangle through
tho brambles Peter Rabbit was no
where to be seen. Terror leaned for
ward and those keen eyes of his
searched everywhere through that
ambletangIe. Right away Terror
made up his mind that Peter must
have slipped out and run away while
hc, Terror. was away.
He cant have gone far" thought
Terror. Il was gone only d few min
utes and he can't have gone far.
There is no other place near where
he could hide"
Up into the air went Terror and
over the tops Of trees this way and
that, looking down through the tree
tops with those wonderful eyes of
his. From up there in the air he
could see all around for long dis
lance, and you know his eyes are
very wonderful. But nowhere did he
sec a little brown form bounding
along over the snow. Terror's wings
are swift and strong. It took him
almost no time at all to look every

bit to have run in the short time
