Freedom

ETCGUOIH
 Roughly defined freedom is the power to do or not to do @ thing without force being exercised from without to compel the deed. Freedom of contract, whatever may be the strict legal interpreta- ton of the term, can only be present when there is no com polling force brought to bear upon the contractors. If a man is starv- ing and food is offered him pro- vided he will work for wages which will enable him only to eat can he, by any fiction of the irn- agination, be described as g free agent in entering into a contract with a heartless employer? What freedom of contract could there possibly be between the laundry woman who perhaps had herself and children to feed, clothe, and house on one side and on the other the chiseling operator of the only place she could obtain em- ployment, who fixed her wa. ,.j at ten dollars a week, and whose ac- tion has been upheld by the court of Appeals of the state of New York?

The Law

The law, which the four concur ring judges found unconstitution- al, gave the Industrial Commits sioner the right to investigate wages, to appoint a board empow- cred to recommend minimum fair scale, and also permitted him to make the Investigating boards recommendation mandatory. Some idea of the tardiness with which such laws are applied may be drawn from the fact that although the legislation was enacted in 1883 it>has been made operative only in the laundry industry which em- p!oy5 over twenty thousand Wo" men workers. Prior to the year the law was passed the basic wage for these women was $10.4l week, a truly munif1cent return for unlimited hours of labor. Un- der the actual enforcement of the law the basic pay in 1885 was Sl3.42 for a forty-hour week in New York City. In other parts of the state the base was slightly lower but, in any event, an in- crease over what had previously been paid. That such wages were generally inadequate Go preserve a standard of living commensurate with the well-being and security of human beings is demonstrated by the fact that almost every laundry operator in Nc1 York not only complied with the provisions of the law but also, in many cases, paid more than the min imum required. What luxuries the mother of family Of chil- dren could indulge in with $l3.42 at her disposal need not be con- sidered. It should be known, however, that many Of the re- cipients of this stupendous sum were obliged to go on Federal re- lief in order to exist.
 Always the Chiseler
 Like the poor the chiseler is al- ways with us. One washery and ironery was found in Manhattan which paid its workers as high as sl0 a week and as low as $7. Un- d.: pressure by an investigator the chiseler was compelled to pay not only the minimum wage for the week he was caught but also the difference for the week he was not caught. Smarting under this fragrant violation of a mans right to run his own business the proprietor of the collar-and-cuR mill was charged with making his serfs kick back with the dif- ference-within an hour after they got 1t. It was bad enough to be driven to pay the basic rate but to be maced by hireling of the interfering state of New York, into paying the cut of the week before was not to be endured. Re- course was had to the courts with the result that the Court of Ap- peals sat on the case. And liter ally smothered It. The minimum wage law was decided to be un- constitutional because 1t violated freedom of contract" Ultimately the issue is expected to be passed upon by the Supreme Court where unless the record of the past is to be discarded the opinion of the New York court will be upheld.
 
 No Such Animal
 Like many other popularly ac- cepted catch phrases such as "The law of supply and demand" and "The survival of the Attest" the legal phrase Freedom of con- tract" is a beautiful theory but an absolute myth. Theoretically the law of supply and demand operates automatically. In real- ity the supply can be. and often is. curtailed or increased not to meet the requirements of the de- mand but to meet the selfish ends Am.A lao

Connecticut Concerned

NVAAAACNtANuV SOAANVAAAVN
 Since our minimum fair wage legSlat.on was modelled atLer the New York act the decision of that states Court of Appeals snouid br.ng delight to the long list of Connecticuts exploiting employ CTS. It would be pleasant to re- cord that all the cniseling of wo- men and children in industry was beng done outside our own state borders. It Is impossible to do so. There are vicious violations of the law in some of our cities and in many of our lovely little towns where "every prospect pleases and only man Is viie." Children little more than babies are slaving at nome work" for an hourly wage which is incredible. Contrary to the law of the state and the dic- tates of common decency, chil- dren who should be playing in the sunshine and fresh air toiling un- til they are ready to drop for as low as three cents an hour. The investigators for Commissioner Tones department work with un- ceasing zeal to ferret out these industrial disgraces but their number is inadequate and they are notoriously underpaid. They are doing work which is beyond praise or due compensation. They should receive every atom of sup port they can get from the courts and the most hearty commenda- tion from the people. Their labors will be made even more trying now if Connecticut's minimum fair wage legislation follows the fate of New York. There is some remote satisfaction in the thought that every decision like that of New York's Court of Appeals helps to swell the ranks of those who demand that strict interpre- tation of the Constitution shall not be permitted to operate against the destruction of indus trial injustice. There is irnme- diate cause for qualification that there is a Democratic Commits sioner of Labor in Hartford. The writer is informed that for the fif- teen years before his time not a single arrest was made for viola ton of our industrial laws. If the information is true Connecticut may thank God for the change. Commissioner Tone and his COG workers may be damned to the deepest hell by the exploiters of women and children but genera tons to be born will remember their efforts with gratitude and annPAaiati0Ya

What is the Constitution?

am perfectly aware that the Jurisdiction of the courts in these welfare cases is limited to the law and that whatever their personal feelings may be they must not be taken into judicial consideration. It is true that the judges job Is to interpret the law as he gets it from the statute books. It is equally true that his interpreta- ton involves his individual as well as his legal viewpoint. In this connection, and in all other cases in which constitutionality is the disputed issue, the words of a great jurist should never be for gotten: "The Constitution Is what the judges say 1t is." The man who made this Illuminating state- ment was not some cracker barrel cynic on a backwoods bench. It was Charles Evans Hughes, Chief Justice of the United States Su- preme Court.

PLANS for a two-day horse show
this season rating second in i'm
portance only to the National Capital
and the Inter American have been
outlined here by V. P. Lester, chair
man of the Columbus exhibition in
augurated last year at Forest Glen,

Under the sponsorship of the For

Columbus, the meeting will be ex-
tended from one to two days, prize
money increased and a campaign
waged for larger entry lists.
A permanent outside course will be
built to test the mettle of all hunters
under the same conditions they meet
in the field. The latter move, in
harmony with the sensible trend
away from purely show" horses and
toward actual cross-country jump
-ers, is expected to bring into action
many capable horses not usually en-
tered where conformation and fat
condition are stressed rather than
performing ability.
Among the advisers acting in prep
aration of the Columbus program this

man, and Capt. Frank L. Hewett.

"TAKE-A-CHANCE'
!. PLAYERS SCARCE
Limit Entries for Tourney
Here Because Same Old
Names Expected.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.


Y UMANITY'S general aversion
IL to taking a chance, and
the wholesale prevalence Of
n a "what's-the- -use" attitude
have been revealed again-this time,
by the rules of table tennis tourna-
ment.
Less than one one-hundredth of
Washington's table = tennis playing
population will be allowed to partici-
pate in the Districts annual champ
ionships to be played this month, but
the restriction is due solely to the
past meek submission OF the more than
10000 estimated devotees of the sport
here.
In the short local history of the
game, only once have more than 100
persons entered a tournament, maj jor
or minor. One hundred and one played
in the mems singles last year. The
same names continually have ap-
peared-Schuman, Sherry, Yap, Lee
and Sappington.
Not Very optemistic.

held at Wardman Park Hotel on
March %, "a and IS, the D. C. T. T.
A. has limited its entries. At the
most, 1872 would be allowed to play,
bVt it is expected that a great many
less than that will enroll, with singles
entrants doubling up for the doubles
play.
The draw for the mems singles will
be limited to 64, and women's and
veterans singles to 16 each. Veterans"
includes all players more than 35
years old. Thirty-two teams will be
allowed to enter the mems doubles and
is couples in the mixed doubles.
D. D. Lambert, vice president of the
local organization, explains the umi-
tations thusly:
The average table tennis player,
seeing the same names as victors over
and over, becomes obsessed with a
sort of 'what's-the-use attitude.
If he'd only take a chance and
play a few of the top-notchers, he
might surprise himself, if not with a
victory, perhaps by good showing.
Want Convenient Numbers.
PUT with no signs of the majority
of the local table tennis public
anxious to enter, We decided to limit
the small group to number conven-
iently handled in tournament match
play"
Elias Schuman, Wilson Teachers
College student, won the mems cham
pionship last year. Reba Kirson took
the women's title, but she has since
moved to New York City. Although
Madeline Teghtmeyer. who came to
Washington last Summer, is considered
the best woman player now in the
city, a recent illness has taken her of
her game and she is expected to have
strong opposition from Mrs. Norman
Engleberg, runner-up TO Miss Kirson
last year.

n YEW YORK, March 12.-Upsets
and near-upsets left the
Eastern basket ball situation
somewhat in the air today.
The major upset last night came
when West Virginia, which lost to
Pittsburgh in last years play-off for
the Eastern Intercollegiate Confer
ence title, spilled Pitts Panthers, AZ
AZ, in the final game of the conference
season.
That left Pitt and Carnegie Tech
tied for the lead. each with seven
victories and three losses, while West
Virginia tied Temple for third place.
Another play-off will be needed to
decide the title.
The Panthers were points ahead
80 seconds before the finish, when
Herb Barna hooped a shot from the
middle of the floor to make the count
42-42 Then Jack Phares was fouled
by Ted Roderich, Pitt guard, and
made his free throw good for the
winning point.
The near-nupset came in a game at
Madison Square Garden which was
