UNCONSTITUTIONAL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The Su
preme Court of the United States to
day declared void the Kansas law

Justices Hughes, Holmes and Day
gave a dissenting opinion and held
that the right of a citizen to join
any organization which is allowed by
the laws of the state to incorporate
and are thus recognized as proper
organizations, should not be abridged
by the state laws as it tended to
restrict the liberty of the citizen.
