LAW DECLARED INVALID NEW YORK TEN-HOUR DAY STAT- UTE KNOCKED OUT BY FED- ERAL SUPREME COURT. FORMER JUDGE PARKER OVERRULED LAW HELD TO INTERFERE WITH RIGHT OF CONTRACT BE- TWEEN INDIVIDUALS. Washington, April “J.—In an opin- fon by Justice Peckham the supreme court of the United States held to be unconstitutional the New York stets law making ten hours a day’'s work and sixty hours a week's work in bakeries in that state, Justices Har- lan, White, Day and Holmes dissent- ed and Justice Harlan dgglared that no more important decisioni had been rendered in the last century. The opinion was handed down in the case of Lockner vs. the state of New York and was based on the ground that the law interferes with the free exercise of the rights of con- tract between individuals. The court of ‘appeals of the state upheld the law and aflirmed the judgment of the trial court holding ILockner guilty. Judge Parker wrote the opinion of the New York court of appeals support- Ing the law and the court divided four to three on the question of valid- ity. MANDATE IN SECURITIES CASE.

Chicago, April 18.—E perating difficulties were experienced at every turn by the wagons of Montgomery s Ward & Co., whose team garment worke the Michigan C s on South Water police who escorted the Ward wagons met with stubborn opposition on the part of the teamsters in sympathy with the strik- ers. The anti-Ward teamsters loaded or unloaded their wagons with pro- voking slowness and told the police “we are not pieces of machinery.” Mauy of the teamsters in the street leading to the freighthouses insisted that they had been waiting for two hours and when the police made way for the Ward wagons to be loaded earlier than other wagons there was a loud complaint from each teamster. Members of the Freight Handlers’ un- ion gave indications that unless the police ceased to give the Ward wag- a5 the.xight te upload.before isam- street the - [ than words. ~ | that cuts any ice. The Legislature is misunderstood by the general public. THE S e As Seen By the Only i Committee Clerk Who Ever Resigned. By A. M. Greeley of The Big Fork Compass LA Y days. paydays, and cold daysare extra. STATE = = . LEGISLATURE The Legislature is a body of workman that works as if the boss were away. The Legislature meets every two years—that 1s as often as the state could stand it. It meets to pass appropriation laws and to pass the hat for St. Paul. ‘Whenever there is a surplusin the state treasury, which needs ““exercise, the governor may call an extra session. A session of the Legislature cannot live over ninety working Sundays, holidays, adjournments, washdays, invalidsdays, Therefore, there are but 90 days in four months, according to the men who get paid $5 for every day that comes along. The chief duties of the members are to answer to roll call, listen to the demands of state institutions and to kick-for higher wages for themselves. would resign. If it were not for their mileage, every member Hé could not afford to be away from the Capitol so much, were the railroads less generous. £ Some members work earnestly and faithfully. They want to be elected again. The Senate is called the *‘Upper House,” the House of Repre- sentatives is called the “Lower House,”” but both are on the same floor. are commonly designated *‘Bug House.” The employes constitute the “Third House,”’ and the officers ‘The newspapers report- ers do not belong to any house—they are sent to the stable. The Senate is supposed to be: the more dignified body, but that was before it fired its imaginary state fireman. Most of the present members eat Norway herring and lutfisk, but the English language is sometimes heard in debate. The chaplains also pray in English, although Greek would serve as well. If the chaplains were paid by the job instead of by the day, the gospel might “report progress.”” As it is the chaplains pray day by day, and lack of result does not discourage them. The daily prayer is the only without debate or amendment. The Lower House is made up with just enough farme: measure that is allowed to pass of lawyers and newspaper men s added to make a quorum. The Senate is not as large in membership, consequently, has fewer farmers. The Lieutenant-governor presides over the Senate as that body could not furnish a single member with hair on his head, headed man would not dignify the A bald- chair. The presiding ofticer of the Lower House has the title of Speak- er. He is called “Speuker,” because his decisions speak louder not as lazy or as vile as commonly The thud of the gravel is the only eloquence there Itis painted. While the ambulance is seldom called to carry away a member oyercome with work,neither is the patrol wagon kept busy. While some may be fond of poker and pretzels, it is not true that when the Legislature adjourns the dives and breweries begin spring housecleaning. The fact is, most of the members were obliged to work so hard for election that they have little energy left for the pursuit of labor, sport or wood- chucks. To say the least, the Legislature is no worse than a simi- lar body of citizens anywhere, excepting perhaps the Penitentiary.
