Shop Crafts Would
Amend Government

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept 15.-The
executive council Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in annual session here,
today announced that it had drawn a
proposed amendment to the constitution
OF the United Staets aiming to put into
the hands of congress powers which
have been usurped by the supreme court
an arbitrary, autocratic bureaucracy OF
five men"
The proposed amendment was framed
at this time as a direct result Of Attor-
ney General Daugherty's court action
against the rail shop crafts according
to the labor chiefs. For years. however,
President Gompers had advocated such
LEGISLATION and, according to the labor
leaders, grasped the present opportunity
to insert It in labor's program as oppor-
tune for the gaining OF public support
generally.
Under the terms Of the contemplated
amendment as drawn by the federation
council, "the United States supreme
court will have the power to review
an act of congress and to declare such
an act unconstitutional. But in the event
congress, for a second time enacts the
LEGISLATION in question, 1t will be beyond
tho mower Of the court and will stand
q. tho final and unassailable law of the
land"
It will be introduced in congress at
the earliest possible moment" said MT
Gompers.
