- CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.—Act 193 of 1943 prohibiting unlawful assemblages and prohibiting others from aiding or encouraging such assemblages is not open to constitutional objections.
- STATUTES—CONSTRUCTION.—Act 193 of 1943 prohibits unlawful assemblages, and appellants' contention that it prohibits free assemblies cannot be sustained.
