CHILD LABOR (Continued from Page One.) 1 In' the arguments - on the demurrer if r.. Mnlr- took the -position that , the legislature; had no right to deprive any . person, minor or otherwise, of the right to contract bis services for any -given time. The law was also excepted to by . the defendant as class legislation. - Many Beelsloaa. - In ' presenting the argument of the ' state. Mr. Oalloway held that a long ' tine, of decisions sustained the right of any . legislature to enact laws for all the people of a given kind, and when the 'Oregon statute provided that all minors were , subject to Its restraints, the measure could not be regarded claae legislation. In regard to the constitu tional privilege of contracting services, the .usual limitations that are thrown . around minora were mentioned as an in ' stance where law and uasge recognised the right of society to protect the young. ; In - Illustration, the necessity for guardians and lack of voting privileges, with other Instances, were cited.' The state's attorney also argued that the - right ef the legislature to guard minors was beyond question, and if ..satisfied that the Oregon statute had been framed with usual regard to the Interests ol society, the courts could not question the legislature's exercise of such rights.
