the following editorial on this sub

WASH INGTON, Nov. Faced
by something like 700 cases involving
the whole economic structure Of the
country, the nine judges constituting
the United States supreme court to-
day are grinding out decisions In what
iurlsts expect to be one OF the most
memorable sessions In the history Of
the court.
Among the questions the court has
to decide are:
Are trusts OF any sort legal?
Are workmen's compensation laws
constitutional?
Are blue sky" laws regulating
capitalization Of corporations consti-
trtional?
Is the new organic army law con-
stitntional?
Can the United States under exist
Ing treaties give a per cent tariff
discount to foreign goods reaching
these shores In American vessels?
And 600 odd others.
For the first time since 1914, the
court is sitting with n full bench, due
to the addition OF Associate Justice
