Guardian of Wall Street.
The U. S. Supreme Court has been
the guardian of Wall Street against
all legislation forced through the
state legislatures under pressure Of
public indignation and aimed at lin
iting child labor taxing wealth and
giving some small measure of pro-
lection to labor. 1t pronounced as
unconstitutional the 1906 Act by con-
gress limiting child exploitation. 1t
again overruled similar legislation
passed by Congress in 1919 under
pressure of mass indignation. For is
years it opposed the income tax act
because it made a small levy on
wealth, while at the same time OPP
posing all efforts to limit the huge
profits of the utilities and other cor
porations. 1t scraped the oregon
minimum wage law Of 1914, as we'll
as similar laws passed later in Mas
Sachusetts, Minnesota, Arkansas and
Washington, and in the District of
Columbia. The capitalist legislators
of those states could we'll afford to
indulge in sham gestures of protect
ing" the interests of the working
class, confident in the knowledge that
such legislature would never get by
the U. S. Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court also declared
illegal an Arizona law forbidding the
use of injunctions against workers
on strike for better conditions. 1t
threw out a New Jersey law control
ling the fees of employment agencies.
The same court refused to inter-
vene to stop the legal murder of Sac
co and Vanzetti by the Massachusetts,
bosses and their state machinery.
Beginning tomorrow, the Daily
Worker will deal with the personal
records and social background of the
nine old men who at present COM
pose the United States Supreme
Court,--a court notorious for its an
working class, anti-Negro record
as shown by the above brief excerpts
from that record. The conclusion for
every worker must be that only thru
intensifying the mass protest can the
Scottsboro boys win their freedom.

LONDON, Oct, 16.-In new move
TO fool the Irish masses, canon De
Valera, President of the Irish Free

circulated that he intends to break

establish an Irish Republic. The
rumors became current following the
breakdown of negotiations here on
the question of the annual payments
which Britain EFFORTS form the Irish

cord of compromise with British i'm

ever gestures he may make, he will
never fight for the complete indie

Record of Supreme Court.
It is therefore imperative to exa-

Court. That record, from the incep-

especially on the rights of the Ne

In 1856, the U. S. Supreme Court
uuheld the brutal institution Of chat

decision.
BY persistent support of the South

Supreme Court has practically multi

RETURN Of RAIL

A return of prosperity to
American railroads is forecast by
Sir Henry Thornton if the trend
to eliminate wasteful competition
continues.
The recent staggering of pas
Sener service between New York
and Chicago by the New York
Central and Pennsylvania rail
roads was described by the for
mer president of the Canadian
National Railways as "only a be-
ginning of what should be done
in this direction"
The royal commissions report
on the Canadian railroad situa-
ton, especially the recommends
tions for the removal of the
Canadian National from political
influences, was a vindication of
his policies, Sir Henry stated.

OUTPUT GAIN

NEW YORK, Sept. % Q.N.SO.
Steel ingot production has risen
this week to an average of 172
per cent for the entire country,
largely because of a gain at Chi

weekly Iron Age Review points
out today.
The Birmingham district, at 33
per cent, has the best operation
in the country, but is closely fol-
lowed by the Wheeling district
at 30 per cent.
September output will closely
approximate that of June, when
daily production of ingots was
34,511 gross tons, compared with
the low of 30,830 tons in August.
Further improvement is rather
definitely indicated for october.
