SUPREME COURT
GOLD DECISION
Saves Labor and Debtors
From Gigantic Defiation
Campaign
By ELLIOTT HARRIS


Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Tha
United States Supreme Court, by
vote of to a, decided that the con-
stitution of the United States means
what it says, and that congress has the
power to regulate the volume of
money, including gold. That is the
essence of the courts action in the
gold cases.
The financial Importance of these
cases cannot be exaggerated. -Four
creditors, holding bonds or other evil
dences of debt which promised pay
ment in gold, sued to collect pre-
MUM of about SO per cent each, on
the ground that the price of gold had
gone up SO per cent, and that they
were entitled to the amount of gold
contemplated when the bonds were is
sued, or to its equivalent.
The Bankers Trust Company and
VIII. Bixby, of New York, holding a
mortgage of $34548,o00 on the Mis-
souri, Pacific, sued for $58,386,120
F. Eugene Nortz, who held gold GER
tifcates of a face value Of $106,300,
sued for s170,634, which he claimed
was required to discharge the real
debt. John NJ Perry sued on a $10,
900 Liberty bond, and demanded $16,

Court Answers Arguments
To all the arguments and objections
on these matters the court answered
by quoting Article |, Section s, para
graph of the constitution of the
United States: Congress shall have
power to coin money, (and) to
regulate the value thereof; and no
private contract could alter or lessen
the power thus conferred.
Contracts cannot fetter the consti-
tutional authority of the congress" :"
declared Chief Justice Hughes, who
read the opinion of the court. when
contracts deal with a subject matter
which lies within control Of the con-
gress, they have a congenital infirm-
ity. Parties cannot remove their
transactions from the reach of domi-
nant constitutional power by making
contracts about them"
Four Justices Dissent
-Four associate justices -Brandeis,
Stone, Roberts and Cardozo- joined in
this view. Four others McReynolds,
Vandevanter, Sutherland and Butler
dissented.
What the minority view would
have meant if adopted may be
sensed from a few figures. 1t
meant write-up of debts com
pared to which the biggest ex-
ploits of public utilities in that
line are feeble and small.
Prescription for Chaos
In short, such an effort would have
been as certain prescription for
chaos and revolution as the misguided
wit of man ever devised. For note
that, as Chief Justice Hughes was
careful to point out, debts would be
increased SO per cent with no increase
in the resources with which the debtor
would have to pay.

LABOR PLEASED
By Principles in NRA Mes
sage

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Satis-
faction with President Roosevelt's s
message urging two year extension of
the national industrial recovery act
was expressed in labor circles here.
The next step, it was pointed out by
labor executives, was enactment of
legislation by congress to carry out
the presidents recommendations.
Il am pleased with the message
and in my opinion it was we'll received
by labor said Secretary Frank Nor
rison, of the American Federation of
Labor. "The president stated a num-
Der of general principles, which must
be made effective by legislation Adop-
tion of such legislation will mark
progress toward a better industrial
order"
Similar expressions were voiced by
other union executives and spokesmen.
All commented favorably on the presi-
dents declaration that the rights Of
employees freely to organize for the
purpose Of collective bargaining
should be fully protected" and en-
phasized this right must be backed up
by carefully drawn legislation with
teeth

Many Benefits Claimed

President Roosevelt told congress
in his message that the recovery act
had reduced unemployment by 4,000,-
00o, had done much to do away with
industrial abuses and had started the
nation on the path of recovery.
In our progress under the act the
president said, the age-long curse of
child labor has been lifted, the sweat
shop outlawed, millions of wage earn
ers have been released from starva-
tion wages and excessive hours Of
labor
Under it a great advance has been
made in the opportunities and assur-
ances of collective bargaining between
employer and employees. Under it the
pattern of new order of industrial
relations is definitely taking shape /"
In recommending a two-year ex-
tension of the act from June 16, when
it expires, the president said:

Sheriff Ray said. I'm going to
know everything that happens
around here and any man that
doesn't tell me the truth is going to
be suspended. Ryan didn't report
