CALIFORNIA CO-OPERA-
TIYES GROW OUT OF
POLITICAL DEFEAT

Fifty consumers cooperative buying
clubs and thirty cooperative torres have
been organized in California in the last
eight months, according to a report.
The sudden growth OF the consumers
cooperatives followed the political dis
illusionment Of the defeat OF Upton
Sinclair as candidate for governor. The
efforts Of many Of Sinclair's followers
are now directed into economic action
to build for themselves c~ooperatives
which make possible production and
distribution for use. A cooperative
wholesale organization has been estab-
lished in Los Angeles to purchase col
lectively supplies for the cooperative
buying clubs and stores and to make
available to consumers cooperatives
the products made in Production for
Use cooperatives.

Supreme Court Over
stepped Power Says
Leverne Hamilton

The tenth amendment to the Con
stitution Of the United States provides
that
"The powers not delegated to the
United States by the constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are re-
served to the States, respectively, or
to the people"
About May Dist, 1885, President
Roosevelt issued an executive order
establishing for various regions OF the
United States, monthly wage scales
which are by him intended to apply to
all work denominated as "relef work
Since the constitution refrains from
any stipulation, or express permission
for the United States, or any agent or
instrument thereof, to establish wage
scales or working conditions, it must
be concluded that such power is
reserved to the States, respectively, or
to the people. This conclusion is
strengthened by the fact that the peo-
pie themselves have through negotia-
tons between groups of employers and
employees established wage scales in
different localities, which are known as
"the prevailing wage, and have dele
gated to their state governments in
many instances the power to establish
the length Of the working day or regu-
late working conditions.
The previous action of the FERA adj
ministration in paying "the prevailing
wage" on relief work, is OF itself an
admission Of this contention, lie. that
the power to establish wage scales is
reserved to the States, respectively,
or to the people"
We must therefore reach the con-
%clusion that in promulgating this execu-
tive order establishing monthly wage
scales amounting to from twenty to
thirty per cent reduction from the
prevailing wage, President Roosevelt
has exceeded his constitutional power.

HAMILTON DOUBTS
PRESIDENTS POWER
SENDS OPEN LETTER
ABOUT WAGE SCALE
Musselshell, Mont, May 81, 1855

Musselshell, Mont, May 81, 1885
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
The White House, Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir:
On or about May 2lst you issued an
executive order establishing maximum
monthly wage scales for those employ
ed on relief work, the scale for this
section Of the country, being, according
TO reports, $4,000 monthly for common
labor.
The tenth amendment to the Con
stitution provides that "The powers not
delegated to the United States by the
constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the States, are reserved TO the States,
respectively, or to the people.
/ find no constitutional grant Of power
to the United States to establish max
imum wage rates or scales, and in the
absence OF such grant, or action by
state legislature, | must conclude that
the power is one reserved to the people.
l am further sustained in this con-
clusion by the fact that in most regions
OF this state the people have, by ne
gotiations between employers and en-
ployees or organizations of employees,
established wage scales and working
conditions, together with a regulation
of maximum hours Of labor by legisla-
tive action, wage scales under such ne
gotiations having been termed the
prevailing wage. In this region Mus
selshell County, Montana) this prevail
ing wage for common labor is 62H
cents per hour and has been recognized
and accepted by the Federal Relief
Administration and wages on FERA
work paid accordingly.
Regardless Of what our opinion may
be as to the advisability OF permitting
the Congress or the President to estab-
fish wage scales or working conditions,
must conclude that your executive
order fixing the maximum monthly
scale at $40 for common labor is out
side the powers vested in the chief ex-
ecutive by the constitution. It appears
especially SO if we may accept the re-
ports that this maximum is based on
a forty hour week.
There is in addition to this question
OF constitutionality, the matter OF your
pledge to the public to increase and
restore purchasing power along with
the humanitarian side of the question.
As one who is in daily contact with
the matter of securing a subsistence
and has a wide acquaintance with the
conditions which workers have to meet,
| wish to assure you hat it is an utter
impossibility for a family to subsist on
an income OF $4,000 per month even in
the most sparsely settled communities.
| therefore urge you to reconsider your
decision in this matter and abide by
the practice which has been hitherto
followed by the FERA OF maintaining
the prevailing scale Of wages on a basis
of the 80 hour week.
I believe that you will on %reconsid-
Grafton, recognize the logic of my po-
sition and the ACCESSIBILITY Of following
my suggestion.
Very truly yours,
Leverne Hamilton,

Hold Steady.

Recovering from the extremely
weak undertone which has pre-
vailed during the last two sessions,
porker prices in early trading at the
indianapolis Union Stockyards to-
day we're generally IS cents higher
than yesterdays best average.
The important factor in today's
advance was attributed to an ex-
tremely light run of supplies on
hand. This improved trading and
a strong demand was evident on
practically all classes. Receipts
were estimated at 1000, compared
with 5000 yesterday.
With receipts scare packing inter-
est again showed considerable i'm
provement and early trading in
creased to fairly active pace. Sew
eral packers predict a shortage of
hogs for the future. The bulk, 160
to 1926 pounds, brought $3.50 to So.
The increase against brought the
top price for good and choice kinds
up to the SO mark. Small medium
grades, weighing from 100 to 100
pounds, sold at $6.40 to $740, while
extremely light-lights, scaling 100
to 100 pounds, cashed in at $5.15 to
$6.15. Good packing sows we're sal
able at $3.50 to $725. Holdovers
were 1874.
With conditions practically I'M
changed in the cattle market,
steers we're active and
steady to strong. Bulk Of steers and
heiferS was quoted to sell under
$3.50. No good and choice grades
were available. VealerS continued
stationary, selling at $11.5O down,
the highest price for several years.
Receipts were 500
No change of Impotence was reg
istered in the lamb market and
practically all classes remained
