CAN j, s, ENGAGE
IN SHIPPING WORK?
Judge Questions Right OF Govern
ment Under the Constitution
To Do This

Newark, N. j., Aug. II Up
Whether the government has the
right under the constitution to en-
gage in shipping has been question
ed by Federal Judge William Clark.
He raised the issue in making per-
manent an injunction restraining
the city of Hoboken from collecting
taxes of s280,84 for the year 1920
on six piers seized by the federal
government during the World War.
The decision involved some So
$500 in taxes the city claimed
were due it, but the case at issue
was only for the year 1920. Justice
Clark declined to assume jurisdic-
ton on the right of the city to as
sess taxes for the succeeding years
Pointing out that the six piers
had been taken over by the United
States shipping board, govern
ment body. Justice Clark said it was
a question whether in a govern
ment or enumerated powers like
the United States We can find any
power, either in the war power. the
commerce 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 a
heavy burden in the operation OF
an antiquated rule of law and the
question was one that must ulti-
mately he settled by the supreme
court of the United States.
