C., THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1939 THE CONSTITUTION The Constitution of the United States received all its well earned bows from the Nation’s highest officials on its 150th birthday. The President, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Members of Congress and bther important individuals did their country and its time-honored program all the honors. The Chief Justice is truly a great man, but he does not ap pear often in the public ceremonies. The President is a familiar figure, so that no particular significance rests in the fact that Mr. Hughes was outstanding ais the celebrity in the Congressional celebration, and the ovation to him was a personal tribute. The Constitution is a good document to live by, and more people should familiarize themselves with its contents. Anyhow, it has successfully resisted all attacks, which show's how well the Founders planned this Government of ours. DR. SAM LEVY PASSES Dr. Sam Levy, well known and beloved in Charlotte has passed from our midst. *This writer knew him since he first came to Charlotte. Has dealt with him in various ways and always found him to be a man of honesty and’ integrity. His charitable activities were many and he never let his right hand know what his left hand did. He gave, and gave and never talked it, but through the goodness of his heart there are many in Charlotte who in his passing know that they have lost a friend, and Charlotte a most worthy citizen.

C., March 14.— South Carolina’s 56-hour work week, which applied to mercantile establish ments and ag roup of specified busi nesses, was invalidated as unconsti tutional today by the Supreme Court. The court upheld the circuit bench in enjoining Labor Commissioner John VV. Nates from enforcing the law, which was passed by the 1938 General Assembly. Today’s court action and the Legis- I lature’s recent refusal to extend the life of the 40-hour textile week after May of this year left the State with only one law covering hours of labor. A 1914 statute limits the work-week of women in nxercantile establish ments to 60 hours. The 40-hour textile law x-emains on the books, but the Labor department has been enjoined from enforcing it also, although its constitutionality has not been passed upon. Contending that working people of the State were protected by the Federal wage hour law, the General Assembly this year refused to extend the life of the measure beyond its expiration date of May 31.
