The case was brought to the Supreme Court by the cotton manufacturers of the South, who have been emplojlng large numbers of children It was filed through Roland H Dagenhart for his children. Roland, Jr., Reuben and John, and the Government lost Its case In the Federal Court for the western district of North Carolina, the Fidelity Manu facturing Company being restrained from discharging them under the law passed by Congress "To sustain this statute would not be In our judgment a recognition of the lawful exertion of congressional author ity over Interstate commerce, but would sanction an Invasion bj- the Federal power of the control of a matter purely local In Its character and over which no authority has been delegated to Congress tn conferring the power to regulate commetc" among the States," said Justice Daj In reading the opinion. "In our view the necessary effect of this act Is, by means of a prohibition against the movement In Interstate com merce of ordinary commercial commodi ties, to regulate the hours of labor of children In factories and mines within the States, a purely Stnte nulhorltj'. Thus the act In a two-fold sense Is repugnant to the Constitution. It not only transcends the authority delegated to Congress over commerce, but also exerts a power as to a purely local matter to which the Federal authorltj does not extend "The thing Intended to be accom plished bv this statute Is the denial of the facilities of Interstate commerce to those manufacturers who emploj- chil dren within the prohibited ages," the majorltj- opinion continues. "The act In effect docs not regulate transporta tion among the States, hut alms to standardise the ages at which childien maj be emplojed In mining and manu facturing within the State" The goods shipped are of themselves liatmless The act permits them to be freelj shipped after thirty dajs from the time of their removal from the factorj When offered for shipment, and be'ore tiansportatlon begins, the labor of their production is over, and the mere fact that thej' weie lntendd for Intel stntc commerce trans portation does not make their production subject to Federal control under the commerce power "The making of goofas and the mining of coal are not commerce, nor does the fact that these things are to be after wards shipped or used In Interstate commerce make theli production a part thereof 'Over Interstate transportation or Its Incidents, the regulatory power of Con gress Is ample, but the production of articles intended for interstate commerce. Is u matter of regulation If It were otherwise, all manufacture intended for Interstate shipment would be brought under Federal control to the practical exclusion of the authority of the States, u result certainly not contemplated bj the framers of the Constitution when they vested In Congress the authority to regulate commerce among the State" " Justice Holmes. In a dissenting opin ion, declared Congress was clearlj In its constitutional power In enacting the child labor law. Attaches of the State Department of Labor and Industry said this afternoon at their local headquarters that the Supreme Court ruling that the national child labor law was unconstitutional would not affect the operation of the Pennsylvania law.

S J. Konenkamp, president of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union, made the announcement that pending a .con ference with Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, there would be no action Mr Gompers this afternoon was at tending the sessions of the war labor S?VJ board, It Is probable that final action maj not be determined upon until Konenkamp returno to his headquarters In Chicago on Wednesday. Another effort on the part of the Fed eral authorities was expected td. be made to prevent the threatened strike. The situation todaj-, admittedly was very serious The positive refusal of the West ern L'nlon Telegraph Company to accept the recommendation of the national war labor board and allow Its men to or ganize has precipitated the crisis. The Commercial Telegraphers' Union, It Is stated here, will have the complete support of the American Federation of Labor In the strike which it has ordered against the Western Union. It was believed here that the Depart ment of Labor would endeavor to find a way out, but the outlook was dubious. The fact that the officials of the We' tern Union have taken a positive position against accepting the views of former President Taft and other members of the national war board and allovylng their men to maintain membership In th6 union has made an apparently unbrldg nble chasm between the company and the union leaders President Gompers was occupied with council of national defense matters all morning, so It was Impossible for Mr. Konenkamp to confer with him until th s afternoon It became known today that Presi dent Wilson Is closely watching the situation and may personally act to bring about nn adjustment of th dif ferences between the men and their omp'overs He possesses ample powers to take over the wire companies. If a tlc-up Is threatened as a war necessity,, bui White House officials would not say, whether he has this In mind.
