The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-07-30

Jake was jolly rascal. Albert drifted with him
to small park jefferson Street where they
lay on the grass and summed themselves.
$50 the old man kicked the bucket, the bank got
the farm, and your maw's gone to live with an
aunt" he said sympathetically "It's tough time
to hunt work in the city, kid; and it amt better no.
where else, either. Me, used to carry hod-
when wasn't heavin muck-stick-but the budin'
boom's all shot to hell and they amt no use huntin'
for jobs that don't exist. Well take it easy till
threethiry and then beat it over to the Volunteers
and git some san'wches"
II didn't know there places you could eat
for nothin."
"Nothn' me eye! Them people live offa guys like
u.s. They use us as excuse to beg the business
men for checks, and collect old co'es and sell 'em
They're like the Salvation Army, in the secondhand
business Their wagons goes round and picks up
the stale box-lunches. Tait's and Leightons have
left over from yesterday We get them For moth
in? Oh hell"
When Jake and Albert went over to the Volun-
teers an hour later, hundred two other men
were already lined up Jake cursed because the two
sandwiches each received were made of jelly "They
hog the meat ones for themselves" he complained.
Damn their souls Well hit the Mission tonight,
kid, and make the price of meal and bed"

ORDINANCE IS
FOUND PROPER
BOOMING HOUSE LAW APPROVED
BY MONTANA SUPREME
COURT
Tribunal Holds that n City Has the
Right to Regulate Licensed Places;
Yellowstone County Courts Deci-
sion is Reversed by Decision

The undoubted tight of cities under the
police power to license, regulate and con-
troll the business OF conducting rooming
houses within their limits, liz upheld by
the supreme court In reversing tho dis
trict court of Yellowstone county In the
case Of Violet Atop against the city of
Billings.
Violet Atop had been engaged for some
time IN operating a rooming house In that
city under a license which was revoked by
the city council, which then refused to re-
new the llense. She brought an action for
an injunction restraining the city from en-
forcing the city ordinance and from inter-
fering with her in conducting her room
ing house, and after a hearing upon ques-
lions of law, the court held that the room
ing house license ordinance of the city was
wholly void, and the temporary injunction
was made permanent.
From this judgment the city appealed to
the supreme court, which, in its opinion.
took into consideration only the question
as to the validity of the ordinance.
The opinion, delivered by Associate Jus
tice A. Il. Stark, holds that In the case of
ordinances enacted by cities under their
police power to license, regulate and con-
troll the business of rooming houses, 1t is
not essential to their validity that they
shall prescribe in advance all the conditions
under which a license to conduct such a
business shall be granted or refused. and
that the ordinance under consideration does
not contemplate the exercise of an arbi-
trary power by the city council according
to its caprice or whim, but does impose
upon it the duty to exercise consideration
and care. Accordingly 1t finds that the dis
.trict court erred when 1t held the Billings
ordinance invalid.
The opinion written by Justice Stark Is
justified In a special opinion by Chief JUS
tice l.. L.. Galloway, attached to the main
opinion, but 1t is not concurred In by As
sociae Justice A. J.. Galen, who filed n
dissenting opinion that the Billings or
dinance is unconstitutional and void be-
cause 1t attempts to vest In the city coun-
ell unrestrained and arbitrary authority to
determine to whom q license shall be is
sued to conduct a generally recognized
lawful business.
The cause Is remanded to the district
court with direction to take further pro-
ceedings In accordance with the views ex-
pressed In the deciding opinion.
