1t looked as if Messrs. Roosevelt
and Hopkins got their signals crossed
before the National Conference on In
dustrial Security Mr.. Hopkins made
luncheon speech demanding "a bold
stroke" and Mr.. Roosevelt came along
with a speech which was far more
sound than bold.
One inside explanation is that Mr..
Hopkins thought Mr.. Roosevelt was
going to speak on his Winter relief
plans. These are supposed to be based
on some bold stroke" methods of self
help and work-relief. However. Mr..
Roosevelt was not ready to disclose
his relief intentions. That interpreta-
Mr.. Roosevelt's talk was hastily COM
posed
Next day Mr.. Roosevelt had Mr..
Hopkins in for lunch. Their speeches
will be better co-ordinated hereafter
The official sub rosa explanation
for Mr.. Rooseuelts opposition to
immediate old age pension action
is that his experts haze not been
able to get together on anything
important.
There are 80 existing State old age
pension laws, so varied that Federal
guidance may have to be offered.
Also many States are broke. They
cannot even raise money for relief
and will not embark on anything new
unless assured of Federal help. SINH
larly nearly all State laws require
long residence periods for eligibility.
1t Is q 10-to-l bet that no Federal
proposal will be ready until Congress
meets in 1896.
The real reason that active Reserve
officer went back on the inactive
Marine list recently Is that he went
out campaigning In Ohio for Republi-
can Senator Fess. Some ardent Ohio

U. S. Judge W. C. Chesnut's
Decision His Second
Blow to Regulations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, November l7.-United
States District Judge w. Calvin Chest
nut late yesterday ruled that agents
OF the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration were prohibited by the
Constitution from regulating the
prices and practices of a dairy en-
gagged solely in intrastate commerce.
The decision gave a clear-cut VIC
tory to the Royal Farms Dairy, which
mas fought the provisions of the
Baltimore milk license since Federal
agents tried to put 1t into effect.
The Royal Farms Dairy was en-
gagged solely in intrastate commerce

Maryland and is not within the reg

Counsel for the Royal Farms Dairy

act as unconstitutional. but the court
did not find it necessary to pass upon
this question
License Beyond A. A. A. Authority.
The prescribed milk license. the
court found. went even beyond the
authority conferred in the adjust
ment act.

right to enforce the milk license upon
the dairy contended that its business.

Quoted in the current or stream" of
Interstate commerce. The court
found that had nothing to do with
the matter
If Judge Chestnuts ruling Is fol-
lowed in the other Federal courts of
the country, it will mean the end of
A. A. A. regulation of numerous diaries
furnishing various cities with milk
produced solely within the same State.
Today's decision was the second
Judge Chestnut has made against
New Deal regulation of business.
His finding that the farm mortgage
moratorium provisions of the Frazer
Lampke act were unconstitutional Ia
now pending before the Circuit Court
of Appeals.
Appeal May Be Asked.
Whether the A. A. A. will appeal to-
days ruling was not divulged by at
torneys for the administration.
The Royal Farms case was the one
in which Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace was served with a summons
when officers reached him in a Pull
man berth in the middle of the night,
as his train made its way through
Maryland. However, he was not re-
quired to appear.
The Royal Farms fight against the
Baltimore milk license has resulted in
postponement Of the new prices to
farmers which witnesses in the case
said, would result in an increase in
the retail price of milk here. AS the
Royal farms had secured an injunc-
ton to prevent the Government from
forcing it to increase prices. other
dairies in the area postponed action
until the case was decided.
