MAYER SEES DRIFT
FRONCONSTITUTION

a solemn warning that We arc get
ting more and more away from the
spirit Of the Constitution was voiced
here today by Levy Mayer. J. Ogden
Armour's counsel, before the Senate
Agricultural Committee, when he gave
his opinion on the constitutionality of
The Kendrick bill. This bill provides
for the regulation and control by the
Government of the packers stock
yards.
Mayer stated that the bill was I'm
constitutional, and said that he "did
not come here 10 pick the bill to
pieces or to destroy what had been
built by weeks and weeks of labor,
but only in a helpful way and to point
out the obstacles"
As in the opinion he gave on the
Sims bill before the House Interstate
>&pmmerce Commission. Mayer quoted
recent child-labor decision of the
Vl'itcd States Supreme Court. and.
VI lie agreeing with Senator Kenyon
OF Iowa, that a majority of the legal
op rnion in the United States disagreed
~ Ibis decision. said 1.-THE decision
1.td been made and is there"
You can no more tell the packer
how much profit he can make than
YOU can tell the boot and shoe manu-
factUrer what profit he can make.
That would fix the price of this COM
modify, and this you can't do. Stock
yards are not subject to regulation as
are grain elevators. The latter IS a
public utility, while the stocRyards
are not" Mayer said.
Quotes Decisions.
The meat industry does not come
within the Congressional regulatory
powers under interstate commerce,
Mayer said, and quoted several decis-
ions in, support OF his argument.
Prominent among these were the case
of Cole vs.. Enrol, in 1886, and the re-
cent child labor decision in interstate
commerce.
In the case decided in 1885, Maye~
showed that the courts held that the
commodity did not come into inter
state commerce until it was actually
moving from one State to the other,
and not until then, and then only,
could Congress interfere with any in
dustry.
Government control or ownership
would be absolutely illegal, he said,
in any industry under the interstate
law if it interfered with the ''prepa-
ration" Of the commodity.
War Time Powers Misused.
Speaking of war time. powers of
Cabinet officials, the President and
Congress, Mayer said that much of
this power had been misused in VIC
lation Of the constitution and pointed
to the danger ahead If the Govern
raent persists in its course of inter
terence with private Industries.
1T cannot be done under our form
Of government" lie said.
Mayer objected strenUously to the
licensing provisions of the Kendrick
bill which put supreme power in the
hands of the Secretary of Agriculture
and left the business man at his
mercy without power of appeal to
the courts Of the land.
This was in absolute contradiction
10 everything this country stands
for" he said.
