Formal Opinion Given in Druggan Case
 Other Opinions Are Made Public
WOMEN'S WAGE LAW
 IS NOT FAVORED

Washington, Oct. 19 Pl-The con- stitutionality of the Volstead act again was upheld and It's provisions discussed in detail today by the supreme court.
 A formal opinion in the Druggan case from Chicago, In which an sp- peal by the defendant recently was dismissed, was made the occasion for the courts redeflnition of its SUD- port of the validity of the dry law.
 The main ground for the Druggan petition, the opinion said, was that the enforcement act was unconsti- tutional because 1t was enacted be- fore the eighteenth amendment be- came effective.
 Tt is not correct that the amend ment did not exist until its prohibit tion went into effect" the court held. The moment the amendment was ratified 1t became effective as a law"
 We have no doubt of the author- ity on congress to pass the law. In- deed 1t would be going far to say that while the fate of the amend ment was uncertain, congress could not have passed a law in aid of 1t, conditioned upon the ratification taking place.
 "A shorter answer to the whole matter. is that the grant Of power to congress is a present grant and that no reason has been suggested why the constitution may not give congress a present power to enact laws intended to carry out constitu- ton provisions for the future when the time comes for them to take ef- 1 feet

PRECEDENT SET IN CORVI DEATH CLAIM Supreme Court Upholds Award
 Of S4,00O to Widow
 HUSBAND KILLED ON TRACK
Insurance Company Fought Con- pensation Allowance Through Courts But Commissioner Noonnn is Upheld--Effcct on Factories.

Ermlnia Corvi, widowed mother of four children, has been upheld by the supreme court of the State of Connecticut in her claim for compensation of approximately $4,000, for the death of her hus- band, Dominic, killed several months ago by a New Haven" locomotive while on his way to work.
 The effects of this decision, which comes In the form of an af- f1rmation of a finding banded down by Compensation Commissioner Leo J. Noonan, are far reaching. The case was watched with interest by local manufacturing concerns since it will make them liable for acci- dent on railroad property involving their employees while on their way to or from work.
 Ban on Track Walking
 Announcement that the practice of track walking must be discon- tinued is expected 10 come from several of the larger manufacturing concerns this week, although some of the factories claim to have the situation pretty well in hand. T. L. Weed. employment manager for the Stanley Works, has been coping suc- cessfully with this problem for several months, having posted warning signs and stationed police men at several points to check up on occasions. Other manufacturers have issued a warning that what ever methods are found necessary tc curb the practice will be employed 1 and this is taken to mean that work, men found crossing tracks will be summarily dismissed.
 The Corvi case involved a poin of law not previously determined by the Connecticut courts. Corvi, al /! employe of the Stiles & Reynolds Brick Co.,, had been accustomed tC travel to his employment from hi home on South street by rout' which necessitated his crossing th' New Haven railroad tracks. It wa while on his way to work that h. was struck and killed.

Minimum Wage Law

Washington, Oct. 19 Pl-The Ari- zona minimum wage law for women was held 10 be unconstitutional to- day by the supreme court. A
 The courts position was set forth by It's action in affirming the decis- ion of the lower courts on the issue. The attack upon the law was made by A. Sardell, owner of two stores at Nogales. who employed four women clerks and contended that If com pelled to pay them each a minimum of SIG week, as required by the state statutes his business would be ruined.
 Replying, the state held that he was not required to employ women and insisted that the law was a valid exercise of its police powers. The federal district co@-t of Arizona held, however, that 1t was invalid and en- joined the state officers from en- forcing 1t.

Lacks Jurisdiction

Washington, Oct. 19 Rl-The su- preme court today dismissed for want of jurisdiction the attack upon the California syndicalism law. by Charlotte Anita Whitney.
 Mrs, Whitney was convicted of violating the California Syndicalism law when she participated in the or ganization of the communist labor party in that state. She contended that the law as applied to her ac- tivities was invalid. insisting that the California communist labor party was organized under a resolution which had been adopted as a sub stitute for the one she had reported. and that her influence had been eN- ercised to keep it's declaration of principles, within the law.
 The state pointed out that while her original resolution had been de- feated. that she continued to affih- ate with the organization which had dec!arcl its approval of the I. W. W. and was charged with being an out growth of the Moscow communist movement.

TO MAKE FARMING
YIELD BETTER RETURNS

The outstanding possibilities Of Co
operative marketing are more largely
along the lines of st~andardizing and
improving production, eliminating ex-
cess varieties, standardizing and Inn
proving grade and pack, stabilizing
production. regulating flow to market,
improving distribution as between
markets. developing new markets, col
lective bargaining, betterment OF
financing, correcting trade abuses, and
representing producers before legisla-
tive and administrative bodies, says
H. e. Erdman, associate professor in
California College of Agriculture. ALI
OF these should. of course, result in
higher net returns. he says. adding:
"If | were to list the limitations
should put them about al follows:
Il. Cooperation cannot fix prices
thai are out of line with supply and
demand conditions.
20. Cooperation cannot eliminate
the middleman. 1t can, and does, of
course. establish the farmers own
agencies to take the places of private
agencies and often puts me co-opera-
tive agency where several dealers for
merly operated.
rs. Cooperation cannot reduce costs
greatly except in so far as an increase
in scale of operations makes for lower
costs. Some of the gains OF large
scale operation. however, are dissi-
pated because of tendencies toward
extravaganza.
~. C~o-operatives will not run alone.
Constant attention is required on the
part Of the membership because what
is everybody's business is nobody's
business.
rs. Cooperation does not permit
the farmer to hold his products for a
higher price without also compelling
him to assume the risks Of getting a
lower price.
"6. The outsider often gets as
much of the benefit of cooperative
marketing as does the member, and
in some cases gets more because he
does not have to bear his share Of
certain development expenses. This
IS a decided handicap to cooperation"
