WILMINGTON, Del.-Federal Judge
John P. Nields ruled that Section IA
of the National Industrial Recovery Act
is unconstitutional and void" as APP
Piled to the Weirton Steel Company
and its business.
Section Ia is the provision which
guarantees the right of the workers to
organize in bona fide trade unions and
select their own representatives for
collective bargaining without interior
ence from employers and inhibits en-
~ployers from making membership in
unions compulsory as the
price of a job.
The court ruled that although the
Weirton concern had manufacturing
plants in more than one state its bust
ness is practically all intrastate and
therefore does not come under the reg
ulatory power of Congress. He added
that the relations between the company
and its employees do not affect inter
state commerce"
Government Charged Law Violation.
The government charged that the
company union promoted by the Weir
ton concern did not comply with Sec
ton IA OF the Recovery Act because
it did not permit collective bargaining
by the employees through representa-
tives of their own choosing selected
without interference from company Of
ficials. The government also declared
that the company conducted a
campaign Of intimidation against those
employees who desired to affiliate with
the A~ma1agmated Association Of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers.

WASHINGTON. - William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, issued the following state
ment commenting on the decision of
Federal Judge John P. Nields in the
Weirton Steel Company case declar-
ing Section IA of the National Indus
trial Recovery Act void and %unconsti-
tutional:"
Labor cannot accept the decision OF
Federal Judge John P. Nields in the
Weirton Steel Company case, holding
Section IA of the National Recovery
Act unconstitutional, as final and con-
elusive.
"An appeal will be taken from the
decision to the Supreme Court Of the
United States if possible and necessary.
in the meantime labor will continue
to present cases arising out of disputes
over the application of Section IA to
the National Labor Relations Board for

disappointing and is evidently based
upon either a Misunderstanding or a
misinterpretation Of the facts.
There are grave social, economic
and industrial implication involved in
this important decision.
at is inconceivable that either labor
or public opinion will support the ex-
tension of corporate power and control
over economic strength of the work
ers through the establishment and
maintenance of company unions.
Public opinion, which after all is the
most potent and powerful influence in
our political and industrial life, will in
my opinion insist and demand that la
Dor must be free, free to organize and
utilize its economic strength in the pro-
motion of its social, economic and in
dustrial welfare.

means that corporation power may be
extended so far as to establish COM

by a clear preponderance Of evil

it complies with the provisions of Sec

DISPUTE SETTLEMENT
PLAN is ACCEPTED
BY UNIONS

Building trades unions, affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor, have agreed upon a plan for set
Element of labor disputes between
themselves under the Code Of fair com
petition for the 3-billion dollar on
struction industry, normally employing
some 100000 workers, according to
an announcement made February II
by George L. Berry, NRA Division
Administrator in charge Of the Con-
struction Code.
The plan deals with "jurisdictional'
disputes. These are controversies be-
tween trade unions, arising when union
representatives are unable, for various
reasons to agree which union member
ship shall perform certain duties on a
building job.
Resultant loss Of time during these
disputes react to the disadvantage of
the public, the contractor and the work
ers. Inestimable monetary and prop
erty losses have followed the scores of
such disputes in the history of the
Hllcl lCdH ldDOl movement.
The division Administrator issued the
following statement:
"Under the direction Of the Presi-
dent, negotiations have been conducted
for some months seeking to solve per-
haps one Of the greatest economic
abuses of the construction industry of
the United States, namely: jurisdic-
tional disputes, and | am pleased to be
able to say that the Presidents in
~sistence in this matter has brought it
to a finality. An agreement has been
signed by all of the international build
ing trades unions affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor to
definitely settle all jurisdictional dis
putes through the machinery that has
been set up in the Planning and Ad-
justment Board of the Construction
Industry Code.
"The enthusiasm with which the plan
has been accepted by the international
building trades unions and their central
bodies with their agreement to join
whole-heartedly in removing this costly
and undesirable condition which has
prevailed in the past, manifests their
| determination to cooperate with the
President in his building program as
well as to give renewed assurance to
private industry that peace, as far as
jurisdictional disputes are concerned,
is guaranteed.
"The Planning and Adjustment
Board, made up of an equal number Of
contractors and representatives of
building trades organizations, with a
disinterested chairman, appointed by
the President, offers the finest facili-
ties for the rehabilitation of the build
ing industry and the enlarged plans OF
the President for public works, that has
yet been conceived.
There is no good reason why all the
problems and differences as between
Government, private industry, and la
Dor should not be adequately and
fairly solved within the sphere of the
authority as we'll as the possibilities of
the Planning and Adjustment Board.
The building trades unions OF the
American Federation of Labor are to
be congratulated upon the definite
commitals that have been made by sig
nature and seal, to the machinery setup
in the Planning and Adjustment Board
for the settlement OF jurisdictional
disputes

CORPORATIONS
CRUSH PROGRESS
SIVE MEASURES

By means of a clumsily organized
filibuster that operated with such
brazen disregard for the peoples rights
that the flush of guilty knowledge was
plainly visible upon the faces Of each
and every participant, Montana's first
great progressive legislative program
was mutilated and defeated-in-part in
the house OF representatives last Mon
day. Sixty-five important bills were
killed.
Organized by the corporation lobby
that swarmed through the legislative
halls like flies, the filibuster saw the
first overt act Friday when Represen-
tative L,eavitt of Custer took the floor
and wasted a full day on his silly gross
proceeds tax.
ThinIy Yelled Purpose.
Immediately the progressives of the
legislature saw through the thinly
yelled purposes Of the move as Lea
witt talked endlessly and to no point
whatever upon House Bill 200 which
would have swept away in one act
the entire tax structure of the state.
Such measures as the electric pro-
ceeds tax, the telephone and telegraph
tax, the metal mines tax-all the eff
forts of Montana progressives to OBJ
tain a small measure Of justice from
greedy superintendent have been
done away with by this bill.
Following this subterfuge the lobby
began its tactics of delay and obstruc-
ton. Grinning like mischievous ur-
chins robbing the kitchen pantry, the
various members recited their care
fully rehearsed parts in the tragedy

prise, right before the Tinies eyes, a parachute popped open and began to fill with air.
 The Tinies pulled the old man in and then he told them, with a grin, You see, I was prepared. I'm sorry that you had a scare.
 "The parachute will hold us all. There really is no chance to fall. The only thing that I regret, Is that my hat is gone.
 "It's so dark, now, I cannot see, but right below us 1t must be. I think I'll land and get it, with the breaking of the dawn"
 Then Goldy cried, Why, just look there! A bird is coming through the air, and in it's mouth it has your hat. This is your lucky day"
 The bird flew by and dropped the hat right in the basket. Think of that! Oh. thank you," cried the man, as the kind bird flew on it's way.

open to him. He can ask the Su-

for a review Of the case; he can
appeal to Gov. Harold Hoffman

he can petition Supreme Court

Legal authorities here were OF
the opinion that any action Mr..

would be a mere gesture, and that
the nations highest tribunal
would be unlikely to review the
