THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FEBRUARY 17, 1935—PART ONE. RUTH SLENCZYNSK RULING THS WEEK Case Against Mrs. Dorsey Under Child Labor Laws Is Argued. Juvenile Court Judge Fay Bentley will decide Wednesday whether or not Mrs. Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey, head | of the concert bureau bearing her | name, violated the child labor law of | the District when she presented Ruth ‘ Slenczynski, 10-year-old pianist, in a | concert at Constitution Hall Janu- | ary 22. Many Delays. After many delays the test case was finally heard yesterday, at which time Attorney Robert E. Lynch, who | represented Mrs. Dorsey, contended | the concert director was not guilty of | violating the child labor law, inasmuch as she did not realize any profit from ‘ the performance. Mrs. Dorsey plead- ed not guilty. Attorney Thomas Gillespie Walsh, who handled. the prosecution, charged | the young musician is the ‘“bread- winner” for three or four persons, that | three concerts this year have netted her promoters $2,750, and that she is working at a gainful occupation in violation of the child labor law. Concert Tour Short. Lynch told the court that the child | is called upon to appear in only two concerts a week for there months of the yvear, and that the performances do not impair her education or affect her health and happiness. Lynch pointed out that the law was intended to prevent wholesale employ- ment of children and contended that | this case is an isolated one. The con- | certs are a necessary element to the child pianist's education, and the receipts from the concerts are used to defray her educational expenses, Lynch contended.
