Supreme court i'm an opinion in the
cases before it. Government conten-
lions that the power given congress to
declare war includes power to compel
citizens to render military. service both
at home and abroad were sustained by
the court. Chief Justice White, who
delivered the unanimous opinion, in a
brief statement, declared that after
considering the various contentious,
the conclusion had been reached that
most of them were imaginary rather
than real.
The decision resulted from the ap-
peals of thirteen cases growing out OF
convictions under the seIective service
act, five coming from New York. three
from Ohio, four from Minnesota, and
one from Georgia. Constitutionality of
the. act was made the basis for all of
the appeals.
The cases from New York were
those of Louis Kramer, Morris Becker,
Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman
and Meyer Graubard. The first four
were convicted of attempting to in
duce others of draft age not to regis
ter and an additional charge of failure
to register was made against Kramer,
who was sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment.r Becker was sentenced to
one year and eight months in Jail,
while Emma Goldman and Berkman
were ordered imprisoned for two
years and fined $4,000 each, A one
year sentence was given Graubard for
failing to register The Georgia case
was based on the refusal of the feder-
al court to grant a writ of fabeas corp
to Albert Jones a negro. arrested and
confined in Jail for refusing to regis
ter on June 81
In holding the draft law constitu-
tional, the court took no action in the
cases involving charges of conspiracy
to prevent the carrying out of the pub
poses. of the lawA4. These, it was under
stood will be taken up, by the court
later. This question is involved in the
cases of Alexander Berkman and En-
ma, Goldman, Louis Kramer and Nor
ris Becker, convicted in New York on
that charge.
