fixing as unconstitutional. They
claimed Secretary Wallace had
gone beyond his powers in fixing
the quotas, had used different
years of production in the United

in fixing the quotas and other
wise Disseminated against the
Hawaiian planters.
The quota provision was EN-.
braced in the Jones-Costigan
amendment to the AAA and was

He called the associations stand

until such time as the sssO-
citation displays its willingness

the constituted authorities set
up under the NRA, which ruI-
ings it has defied, no one will

Mr.. Green, in his keynote ad-
dress to the convention previous
to the challenge" accused the
Manufacturers Association of ad-
vising its members to disregard
MIRA provisions, especially those
giving labor the right to organize
and to bargain collectively. He
reared:
"And 1 hold that any men
who fail to respect our courts
and the decisions of constituted
authorities are not good citi-

In fact, he continued, if recall
citrant employers don't get into

plunge it in to the hilt. He went
on:
"Our only alternative is to 90

men won't respect the decisions

tribunals"

He also said that labor demands
