Victory in High
Tribunal

WASHINGTON, June 1.
(UP)-The supreme court
today in a sweeping decision
which will probably doom
any kind of state or federal
wage and hour legislation today
held unconstitutional the New York
minimum wage law Tor women
and children.
The courts verdict was render
cd in a 5 to decision.
The ruling, while applied only
to the New York law, was expected
to mean the end of similar legiS-
lation in many states including
seven which had joined with New
York in appeal to sustain the vali-
dity of the law.
The conservative victory was
made possible by the adherence CT
Justice owen J. Roberts who cast
his vote with the four members
of the conservative bloc who voted
against a similar law in 1923.
The opinion was expected to
round-odt the courts delimitation
of the powers of the federal gov
ernment and the states in dealing
with regulation of industry and
| labor
While involving only the New
York law directly, the decision was
believed to doom similar laws in
at least seven states, which had
! intervented in the New York test.
They are
Ohio, Connecticut, Illinois, Mas
sachusettS, New Hampshire, New
Jersey and RhCde Island.

LABOR DOUBTS
 QUICK SALVAGE
 OF CUFFEY BILL

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Labor's spokesmen in Congress are private ly expressing much doubt about salvaging anything of the Guffey coal bill this session. They plan a determined attempt, however.
 Immediately after the decision, they set about carving away the parts of the act the Supreme Court held invalid. It was the courts somewhat tender treatment of the price fixing features in the act which gave them encouragement that something might be saved.
 The Guffey act proposed to give mine owners, in conjunction with Government and labor, authority to fix the price of coal at a level which would permit a profit to owners and better wages to the miners. A 1872 per cent penalty tax per ton was assessed against non- complying owners. Certain guaran- tees for labor also were to be en- forced by the penalty tax.
