LEGALITY Of i. S.
SHIPPING DOUBTED
Operations of Government
Questioned in Decision
Against City of Hoboken.

BY the Associated Press,
NEWARK, N. j. August li,-~Whether
the Government has the right under
the Constitution to engage in shipping
operations such as conducted by the
Shipping Board has been questioned by
Federal Judge William Clark He raised
the issue In making permanent an in
inuction restraining the city Of Ho-
hoken from collecting taxes OF $780,
BAG for the year 1920 on six piers seized
by the Federal Government during the
World War
The decision involved some $3.50 600
in taxes the city claimed was due 1t,
but the case at issue was only for the
year 1920, Justice Clark declined to
assume jurisdiction on the right OF the
city to assess taxes for the succeeding
years.
Question Raised.
Pointing out that the six piers had
been taken over by the Shipping Board,
a Government body, Justice Clark said
IL was question whether in Govern
ment Of enumerated powers like the
United States we can find ANY power
either In the war powers, the com
merce clause or the general welfare
clause or by implication from any of
them which authorizes the shipping
business"
He said he was raising the issue at
this time because he felt that the city
Of Hoboken was suffering n heavy bur-
den in the operation of an Anticipated
rule of law and the question was one
that must ultimately be settled by the
Supreme Court Of the United States
Opinion Divided.
Opinion as to the legality OF Govern
ment operation OF shipping was divided,
ne said pointing out that George Itch
nor Curtis. a leading constitutional
lawyer of the '80s. and Justice Sather-
land sof the United States Supreme
bench had expressed views that give
the impression they believe such opera
ton unconstitutional. On the other
hand. Prof Corwin of Princeton Uni
yersity believes 1t constitutional.
