 Procedure

ST. JOSEPH Mich, April l5.-(By Associated Press. )--The second test of Michigan's law against criminal syndicalism will be launched in the Berrien county circuit court tomor- row when Charles E. Ruthenberg of Cleveland goes to trial on charges growing out of the assembling of the communist convention in the sand dunes near here last September.
 In the first prosecution brought under the act which was passed as wartime measure the jury trying William z. Foster disagreed 10 days ago after two days of deliberation.
 The charge against Ruthenberg, as in the case of Foster and 34 others waiting trial. grew out of attendance at the second national convention of the communist party held secretly in the sand hills on the shores of Lake Michigan last summer.
 Rutenberg, who served several months in the Ohio workhouse dur ing the war for obstructing the draft. has been socialist and radical lead CT for years. He was a witness for the defense at Fosters trial.

TESS JOINS FOES SEEKING TO TAKE
 POWER 0F COURT.
Senator-Elect Would Require TWo-Thirds Vote to Over
 ride Congress

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Agita- ton for curbiug the power of the present supreme court is extending it's circle wider and wider and from present indications the question will be a foremost issue in the next Con sress, where a heated battle Is ex- pected. On the heels Of insistent de- mafids from progsesslves fer reform of the highest court, Senator -elect republican leaders, in the last House, has come out strongly for modifica- tion of the powers of the supreme court by requiring a two-thirds vote to nullify an act of Congress.
 Fess is stanch administration supporter, and is regarded as repre- senting the sentiment of large number of House members who will give his views careful consideration.
 The Ohio senator. however, has no sympathy with Senator LaFel- lette's desire to give Congress au- thority to overthrow a decision of the supreme court by two-thirds vote. such a change, he says. would Vio- late the most important feature of the system, the independence of CO., ordinate branches of the government, and would be "supremely vicious
 In letter to Harry C, Wilbur of St, Paul, Minn. made public Sunday night. Fess based his appeal for two-thirds majority in the supreme court on the general two-thirds rule established by the constitution.
 o O o
 Would Be American Principle.
 The constitution, he says, should have included "a two-thirds vote of the supreme court to render null and void a law which must bc enacted by two bodies of Congress and signed by the President or passed over his veto by two-thirds of each house. That would have been in strict confGrma- ton to the American principle of balanced power, and pursuant to other requirements when the prin- eiple of one department in the eNer- else of it's functions interferes with co ordinate department.
 Several measures have been pre- pared or are being prepared for deal ing with the problem. Senattr Bo- rah introduced into the last Congress a bill requiring seven out of nine votes for nullification of an act Of Senator Norris is in favor of a majority of at least two in de- unconstituticnalIty.
