"Washington, March 8. The child labor cases- three in number which 'nought to test the constitutionally of that law, were reached for oral argument in the supreme court late yesTetday. Solicitor Beck ortened thi argument, but made only a brief statement bcf-Cre the court adjourn ed for the day. The cases were brought from North Carolina, where the United States district court in each one held the law unconstitutional. The solicitor general asked the court to dismiss as moot the Atherton mills case, one of them which had been selected by the government as a test case and was argued at tho last .session oi the court, but had been set for re argument. He pointed out that the boy in whose behalf the proceed ings had been brought had since the case was instituted passed his I6tb birthday and could obtain no relief by a final decision. Another of the cases, that brought by John ,L George to restrain the collector of, infernal revenue from col lecting a tax which had been assess ed upon mills operated by him in which., child labor had been employed, Hie solicitor general insisted should be dismissed because a wrong meth od of opposing the law had been dtoseu. The lax assessed diould have been paid under protest, he said and a suit brought to recover the money on the ground that the law was unconstitutional. The stat utes provided, the solicitor general stated, that "no suit for the purpose of restraining the assessment of col lectinon of any tax shall be maintain ed in any court." The supreme court has declined in not less than 50 cases, he statec! to sit as a censor of the m orals t , congress or enter mw tin uiquiiy into its motives when it legislated within its delegated powers. There could be no question, he insisted, of the right of congress to impose an excise tax, such, as that embodied in the child labor law, and the only question at issue was whether the court would inquire into the motive . publican.

The president in his reply to one from Director Meyer detailing the work of the war finance corporation said cheering evidence had been presented to show that "we are mov ing fast towards establishing that necessary balance between the sell ing price of the producer and the cost to the consumer." "1 thing we all recognize that when stability and confidence have been restored to agriculture, jthe country will have advanced materi ally," Mr. Harding said. i Approval was given by Mr. Hard ing through the letter that Mr. Meyer make a trip through the ag ricultural sections of the country, as he did last fall when he made a trip to the Pacific coast and the south. i HI KILLED 11 By the Associated Press.

Washington, March 8, Termina tion of the Anglo-Japanese alliance and substitution by a political sys tem actuated by peace in the Pacific was described in the senate today by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republican leader and member of the arms delegation, as the main purpose of; the four-jjlower Pacific pact. The Anglo-Japanese alliance, Mr. Lodge declared, was regarded as the most dangerous element by this gov ernment. He attested that if the four-power pact failed, the limitation agreement also would be endanger ed resulting in failure of the con ference. No entanglements are contained in the treaty, he said. He csharacter ized it only as an experiment, but added that it is one that must make good if the United States is to con tinue its leadership.

Despite s&'me criticism of the measure in and out of congress, Chairman F'ordney :vnd his co-workers believe it will encounter only feeble opposition in the house, un less there is insistence on the part of members for the original measure. Just what will happen to the bill i m the senate annears at. this timo to be more or less problematical. There the measure will be open to amendment and unlimited' debate and. it probably will bo changed in some important particulars. Since President Harding s-Jviscd the bouse committee to pay the bc'nus with a sales tax or postpone the legisla tion, it is expected the proponents of a sa!is tax in the senate will urge its adoption. Sonic of the opponents of the measure in the house predicted that the bill would' bo both unsatisfac tory to the country and the .service men. They contend that it will not enable the men to get as much in three years as they would receive under the original bilk and that it would cause the infliction of bank loans half a billion dollars. The time for the presentation to the house will not be determined un til Chairman Fordney returns from a trio to the west. TO START BUILDING AT UNIVERSITY SOON Chapel Hill. March 8 The Gra ham Memorial and the building com mittees of the University of North Carolina convened in h; joint session here yesterday, and much of import ance was taken up with reference to buildings that are scheduled to arise on the cr.mpus here in the near future. Work is to begin at an early date .M the first of the three newc lass room buildings. The committee de cided to erct these upon the east side of tho axis running south from south building instead of upon the west side, due to the fact that the slope of; the land to be west is such that exceptionally high basement stories would be required there. Th 1 change will mean the saving of .sev eral thousand dollsrs. The first of these classroom buildings will be used by the history and social science departments. The contractor -' guaranteed cost is -$150,000, approxi mately the figure upon which the committee calculated. The Graham memorial building will hav to be built in sections, it seems, since the funds now available will only pay for n part of the edi fice. The great and imperative need of a clubrc'om- which' will accomo date large gatherings of students srid which will undoubtedly help solve the social problem that has been the subject of so much discus sion of late, was discussed by the committee, and it wirs decided that this need should be met first of all.
