CHILD LABOR LAW ICllliOlL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAftHOT COLLECT TEN PER CENT FOR VIOLATIONS OF LAW, " IS MATTER FOR SUITES OXLV pQftde State Laws Penalty and Not a Tax, as Is Provided by the Aet Ruled Upon, Says Judge Boyd. Greensboro, N. C Judge James S. Boyd, in federal court, held the na tional child labor law; which seeks to collect a federal tax of ten per cent on the profits derived from the products of child labor, unconstitution al. The decision was in the case of the Vivian Satoning Mills, of Cher- ryville, N. C, seeking to restrain J. W. Bailey, collector of internal rev enue, from enforcing the act. The Owen-Keating child labor law was. also held unconstitutional by Judge Boyd in decision rendered two years ago and that ruling was up held by the Supreme Court of the United States. Regulation of labor, Judge Boyd ruled )n his decision, is one ot the powers retained by the states, and not delegated to the federal government. State child labor laws are adequate to take care of the situation and pro vide a penalty, not a tax, as is pro posed by the act of congress. The attempt of the federal govern ment to regulate labor within the state is an usurpation of authority and a violation of the sovereign rights of the state, concludes the rul ing.
