 Consent, Is Decision
By Associated Prcss

Washington, May l.--The Emer- geney Fleet,corporation of the United States shipping board, a corporation organized under the laws of the Dis triet of Columbia. is suable in the federal and state courts without it's consent, and does not have the inn munity of government department or board. the supreme court held to- day in an opinion delivered by Justice Holmes to which the chief justice and justices Van Deventer and Clark dissented in an opinion by MT. Taft.
 The question was presented to the court in three cases. In two of which the Sloan Shipyard corporation and others of the state of Washington and the Astoria Marine Iron Works of Oregon, the government won in the lower courts. and in the third, that brought by the United States against the trustees in bankruptcy of the Eastern Shore Shlpbuilding corpora tion. the government lost in the United States federal courts of New Ycork city In the latter case, which involved the question of the priority of the Emergency Fleet corporation in the assets of bankrupt corpora ton. the court was unanimous in holding against the contentious of the government
 The shipping act contemplated a corporation in which persons might be stockholders and which was to be formed like any business corpora tion under the laws of the District of Columbia, with capacity to sue and be sued.

PACKER AND YARD
 REGULATION LAW
 DECLARED VALID
Act Put Through by Agricul- turaI Bloc Is Upheld by
 the United States
 Supreme Court .
By Associated Press

Washington, May l,-The packer and stock yard regulation act of 1921. which was put through Con eress largely through the efforts of the agricultural bloc, was held con- ssituttonal today by the supreme court.
 Declaring the stock yards "are not a place of rest or final destination, ;. but throat through which the current flows and the transac- tions which occur therein are only incident to this current from the west to the east, and from one state 10 an other the court described the live stock business conducted in the yards as interstate in character.
 Congress, in the act, treats vari- ous stock yards in the country as great national public utilities to pro- mote the flow of commerce. Chief Justice Taft stated in delivering the opinion of the court, and assumed that they conduct a business affected by public use of a national charac- ter and subject to national regula- tions. That 1t is q business within the power of regulation by legisla-
 
 Charges Already Answered
 The law was chaIlanged by certain commission merchants and dealers in the Chicago stock yards, who brought separate suits in an effort to restrain the Secretary of Agriculture from en- forcing the law. The issue raised, aside from the constitutional ques- ton. was whether the business done in the stock yards between the re- ceipt of the live stock and it's ship ment is part of interstate com meree. The court answered that that question was disposed of in the Swift case, saying. "The Judgment in that case gives clear and comprehensive which leaves to us in this case little but the obvious application Of the principles there declared" The court added that these principles have become fixed rules of this court in the construction and application 5f the commerce clause of the con- stitution."
 Chief Justice Taft said if was mani- fest that Congress framed the packer and stock yard act in keeping with the Swift decision and that "what Congress had in mind primarily was to prevent such eonspiracies by su- pervision of the agencies which would be likely to be employed in it" There Is no question now of the authority of Congress to punish conspiraeies for restraint of trade in the stock yards under the sherman antitrust law. he and "eertainly 1t may pro- vide regulations to prevent their formation.''

By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Herald,
 500 Davidson BuIldhaR,

Washington, May I.-(Special.) )- That the military establishment had subsidized 800 newspaper into print ing especially prepared editorials urging the enactment of the officers pay bill. and had instituted a most extensive propaganda in behalf of that proposed legislation, was charged by Representative W. B. Oliver of Alabaam today.
 Mir Oliver filed with the House a minority report highly critical of the pay bill He argued that 1t would impose military burden which eventually would become unbearable, that 1t would discriminate in favor of officers now in the service as against those who would later be in- ducted into the service, and that be- cause of it's provisions regarding pay for longevity service. il would re- suit frequently In some officers of lower grade receiving more pay than some officers of higher grade
 Already" exclaimed MT. Oliver, I've have 1S,O00 more missioned officers than we did in 1918 with an additional pay roll of s55.0o0 900. If this bill goes into effect, the cost burden will become almost unbear- able"
 He spoke against Prussianizing America In a miiiary sense. The suo- committee, which reported the bill divided, three favoring and two in- oluding Mir. Oliver, declaring their disapproval. The two democrats on the subcommitteel MT. Oliver and Representative J. F. Byrnes of South Carolina, disagreed. Mr Byrnes signed the majority report. The fight Is destined to be one of spec tacular features and considerable bitterness.

 During Last Month
By Associated Press

Washington, May 1.-Pronounced activity was noted in many basIc lines of industry throughout the country during April. according to the monthly review of general bust ness and financial conditions issued tonight by the federal reserve board.
 This activity was particularly mo- ticeable in the metal industries. the board declared, iron and steel becom- ing more active, many important cop per mines reopening and the auto mobile trade showing a decided gain. Active demand for building materials the board found had a favorable ef- feet upon the metals and other lines of industry while the lumbr industry notably expanded operations.
 In cotton textiles. however, the month was much less encouraging, widespread strikes in the New Eng land districts reducing mill activity, although in the southern districts mills generally continued to operate close to capacity.
 Aside from voluntary unemploy ment resulting from strikes. the board stated a decided increase in the number O. employees at work was noted while the wholesale and retail trade reflected to some extent the improvement in the industrial situa- tion. Prices continued relatively stable, while financially the mouth showed the same tendencies as dur ing March and February.
