COURT TEST PLANS
ON z BILLS Barred
Opponents of Gufey and
Wagner Measures Hold
Them Invalid.
By the Associated Press.

Promises that the Guffey coal and
the Wagner labor disputes bills would
be measured by the Constitution came
yesterday in the tumult that edged
the one slowly through q congressional
committee and sent the other toward
settlement of House and Senate Diff
ferences.
The prolonged argument over the
constitutionality Of the Guffey bill
threatened to produce another "crisis'
next week in the labor relations Of the
bituminous coal industry. There were
frequent assertions during debate on
the Wagner bill that it was unconsti-
tutional.
Producers Counsel Gives Views.
Hour after hour yesterday J. v. Nor
man, counsel for producers who OPP
posed the Guffey measure to create a
little N. r. A." for the coal industry,
gave a House Ways and Means Sub
committee his clients views on the
bills constitutionality.
Both fundamentally and in many
particular aspects, he said, the bill
would violate the Nations basic law
He said court test was certain.
More than 80 other witnesses were
waiting to testify. Chairman Hill
Democrat, of Washington said hear
ings would extend into next week.
The Senate may take up the bill
today but enactment before the end Of
next week appeared unlikely.
The wage and hour truce between
the producers and the United Mine
Workers expires June 80. At Presi-
dent Roosevelt's request, present wages
and hours were continued through
that date, to give Congress time tC
act on the Guffey bill.
Negotiations Begin Monday.
Negotiations on new wage and houl
contracts have been set to start
Monday. These would get nowhere
until the Guffey bill were either en-
acted or rejected, however, and likely
will be postponed.

Press Held Vital.
By the Associated Pres.

CANTON, N. Y, June 22.-The
philosophy that the Constitution must
be changed by direct amendment II
the Government Is to exert the kind
Of power that Is indispensable to
economic planning and control was
propounded yesterday to the confer
ence on Canadian-American affairs
by DR.. Howard Lee McBain, noted au-
thority on constitutional law In Co.
lumbia University.
Referring to the recent decision of
the Supreme Court writing the N. r.
A. on the statute books, DR.. McBain
asserted that the present grant Of
powers Is wholly insufficient to regu-
late business, and that II I'VE are to
60 forward with economic planning
and control In the United States, we
must make far-reaching changes in
our Federal Government"
The institution Of democracy as II
has come out of the past was Wig
orously defended by several well known
authorities, who asserted the impor-
tant protector Of democracy is q
free press.
Alderman Hits Control.
I'm time of national emergency"
said Dean Carl Alderman Of the Co
lumbia University School Of Journal
ism, public opinion is always en-
dangered by the desire or the neces-
sity Of government to exercise control
or to direct industry. e
"An legislation relating to labor OF
taxation and any proposed amend
ment to our respective constitutions
involving the authority of the Gov
eminent in interstate commerce are
potential threats to the freedom OF
the press and the free functioning Of
public opinion.
Public opinion is endangered also
by the publicity power Of the pres
idency In the United States.
Under no circumstances must this
power Of the presidency be curtailed
but II public opinion Is to continue
to function, neither must the free
dom Of the individual editor be re-
stricted by constitutional amendment
in any national emergency"
John w. Dafoe, editor In chief Of
the Winnipeg Free Press, told the
ccnferees that he found himself
stumped by the sight Of young men
keen to renounce their rights OF
private opinion and Of freedom Of
action under the deluSion that they
will thereby obtain security"
Urges Many Tests.
In outlining his theme for a con-
stitutional amendment, DR.. McBain
said it would be good tactics for Pres
ident Roosevelt to jam through Con-
gress as many bills Of doubtful con-
stitutionality as he could.
1.-THE more toes that are trod upon
by the firm but gentle feet of the Su-
preme Court following as it almost
must the hard beaten paths Of con-
stitutional construction, the larger
will be the number Of those who will
be prepared for constitutional amend
ment."
He said the president would not de-
Hberately encourage the drafting of
laws known to be unconstitutional,
but he argued that If the President
holds q law to be otherwise good. the
fact Of its being held unconstitutional
may prove to be grist for Ibis mill for
ultimate reform"
