arose that the Vatican would protest

While report was being sent to
the Vatican maintaining that Article
~ Of the concordat was broken by
the new law, the church situation be-
came further involved when the
Nazis struck nearer to the heart Of the
Protestant opposition to the Nazi

COAL ACT INVALID,
LAWYERS DECLARE
Liberty League Committee
Defends Right to Ad-
vance Opinions.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Defending their right to advance
opinions on constitutionality of New
Deal laws, the National Lawyers Com
mittee of the American Liberty League
last night volunteered the opinion that
the Guffey coal act is beyond conStitu-
tionAl bounds.
Although this law, intended to Stabil-
re the soft coal industry, has been
upheld completely by one Federal judge
and partly by another, the commit
tee said it violated the Constitution
in that it
O "Capriciously and arbitrarily in
fr1nges upon the individual liberties OF
producers and employers" and
(2) Undertakes to regulate activi-
ties which are essentially and in
herently local In character"
"COercive Penalty"
Neither the pretended exercise OF
the taxing power through the assess
ment of that which is not in fact
tax but a coercive penalty" nor con-
Eressional declaration that the indus
try was affected with the public
interest" made the act valid, the COM
mittee contended.
Judge ElWood Hamilton at Louisville
recently upheld the entire act, while
Justice Jesse C. Adkins of District
Supreme Court found that only the
wage and hour provisions were beyond
constitutional bounds. Both cases are
expected to be appealed to the United
States Supreme Court.
The committee. whose chairman is
Raoul E. Desvernine, counsel for the
United States Steel Corp, defended its
publication of opinions on the consti-
tutionality Of New Deal legislation in
general as consistent with the un-
broken traditions of our calling"
AssaiIed by New Dealers.
Both administration and labor union
officials aSSailed the group after publi-
cation a few weeks ago of an opinion
that the Wagner labor disputes act
was unconstitutional.
THE reports of this committee are
only lawyers opinions" the statement
said They only purport to promote
rational and reasoned public discus
sion. They are issued as every law
yer's opinion is rendered, with due and
respectful difference to the courts to
whom this committee looks as the final
expositor of our Constitution and laws
and as the great bulwark of our liber-
ties"
After reviewing the terms Of the
Guffey act, the committee said 1T
must be clear to any one familiar
with the history Of attempted regula-
ton of industry and employer -employe
relationship that this act goes beyond
anything heretofore attempted"

SAN FRANCISCO, December g.
Tom Mooney passed his SD birthday
Sesterday-in cell at the county jail.
For 19 years, ever since he was ar
rested and accused of bombing the
1915 Preparedness day parade here,
Mooney has been behind prison bars.
The nfe-term convict wistfully ex-
pressed a desire to be at home with
his wife Rena and eat some Of his
favorite cake-chocolate. But instead
he devoted most Of the day to pre-
pairing new arguments for use when
his habeas corpus hearing is resumed
today.
Relatives and a few friends visited
him, however, to extend fluctuations.

THE EXPERT RACKET
Monitor.

With clouds threatening overhead and
thousand economic briars scratching up our happi-
ness it is little wonder that we have overlooked
the expert racket at least its menace to our fast
eclipsing individualism.
There rs no way of estimating the number Of
words that the experts speaking over the radio
or writing IN newspapers and periodicals. But it
doesn't even take an amateur statistican to tell
that they are doing most of the talking
Every functios of life and every phase of the
hereafter has its expert who stands ever ready,
upon slight persuasion to prophesy as to the ulti-
mate identity of the unknown quantity, be it past,
living, future, or dead. In most cases the prophey
doesn't know great deal more about his partcr-
lar subject than the average man. But usually he
doesn't know much about anything else, and must
humor his ungovernable urge to talk.
Being an incuTable talker, the expert takes every
precautlon to insure against running out of some-
thing to say. Therefore, he coins lot of technical
terms for such human unpredictables as love and
marriage, poverty and luxury, and peace, liter
allure and keyhole columnists Whether he fore
casts for hire or hobby, his predictions can be
turned on as easily as barn dance orchestra on
Saturday night.
Why have these experts built up their nation
wide following? Is it because our minds are lazy
and we prefer to hire opinions instead of roll
ing our own? Are we so ignorant that we can
hear big words and mistake them for great truths
Talk is cheap and the experts may be nothing
more than spacefillers. Part of the expert racket
might be attributed to the necessity for economy
in newspaper and radio programs, but not ALL
If the experts and the listeners would spend ali
the time now wasted on forecast and prophecy in
studying our many problems and working concert
ledy toward practical solution, we would soon be-
come civilized. But it is doubtful if we could stand
the serenity and quiet. And most of us would have
to learn how to talk, that is ntelligeE..y all over
