Chief Justice Hughes agreed
that Congress has no power to
regulate mining because it is mot
commerce" but thought that the
price-fixing section of the Guffey
Act was a valid exercise of Con-
gressional authority. Three dis
senting justices agreed Si4:tt price
fixing is valid and reserved a de-
cision on the wages-and-hours sec
ton because the question was pre-
mature inasmuch as the provision
might never be invoked.

Justice Hughes expressed his views
on both questions most fully.
Otherwise, the decisions created
/ many legal puzzles.

In its monthly survey OF bust
ness the American Federation of
Labor points out that profits for
the first quarter OF this year were
SO per cent higher than for the
same period o. last year but that
the average work week was nearly
two hours longer. with average
wages higher by $1.00 a week.
Employment, which kept pace
with, business recovery under the
NRA. according to the Federation,
has fallen far behind.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-05-27

Business, the survey says, by
March had travelled ~ per cent
of the way back to normal but
only 46 per cent OF the depression
unemployed had gone back to
work. This depression shortage of
employment is estimated at 1885,
900 persons, but some 1000, 900
other workers must be added to
include the young people seeking
work for the first time, and an
other 100000 who had no jobs
in 1929. Altogether. the Fedora
ton figures that there is a total
job shortage of much more than
100000. This figure should not
be confused with an estimated
12,184,000 unemployed and the
Federation points out that only
one-third of them can expect en-
ploYment from business even
when it reaches normal"

The reaction of the President
was an assertion that the New
Deal will attempt to achieve sta
bilization of the bituminous coal
industry despite the decision.
Labor leaders were stumped by
the ruling, pointing out that the
Court narrowly defined interstate
commerce and apparently held
that it applied only to freight
which is definitely moving. There
were hints in labor circles that
the only recourse was a reliance
upon the economic strength of la
Dor, which must be united in order
to exert its power. John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine
Workers, grimly declared that
"every decision of the Supreme
Court seems designed to fatten
capital and starve and destroy
labor"
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-05-27

The three divisions of opinion
were expressed in emphatic Ian
guage by the justices, illustrating
what has been referred to before,
the fact that the Court is widely
apart in its present views and that
the social and economic philos-
ophy of the members are in vio-
lent conflict. Among the opinions
were two separate views as to the
attitude of the Court toward its
obligations, the two ideas about
its proper legal procedure. and
another concerning its attitude to-
ward preserving parts of doubt
full law. Chief Justice Hughes OBJ
jected to the Courts "specula-
ton" The dissent Of the three
justices almost tainted the ma
jority for avoiding decision up
holding priee-fixing and criticized
it for ''inaging" what Congress
would have done. The Liberals
avoided the wages-and-hours sec
ton, which was denounced by six
of the justices. Altogether, Chief

The decision of the Court left
the score against the Government
in New Deal cases at eight to two.
Only in the IVA and gold clause
cases has the Government won a
decision. Justice Cardozo has
voted with the Government seven
times in ten cases, Justice Bran
deis and Stone six times, Chief
Justice Hughes four, Justice Rob-
erts twice, Justices Butler, Suth-
erland, and Van Devanter once.
and Justice McReynolds has voted
against the Administrators con-
tention in every case.

Whether the people Of this cOun-
try know it or not the fourteen
Reciprocal Trade Treaties negoti-
ated by the United States in about
two years are the beginning OF a
worldwide movement for lower
tariffs. To understand the effect
OF these treaties, one should real
ize that before any of them were
signed, the United States had en-
tered into most favored nations
agreements with 81 countries.
These bound the nations involved
to give the same treatment to all
countries having such agreements.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-05-27

The treaties that have been
negotiated by Secretary Hull pro-
vide for tariff reductions that
average about 20 per cent and
affect about a third of our inter-
national trade exports that were
valued at $733,2O0.000 in 1885.
Altogether, the reciprocal agree
ments have cut duties on products
worth S261 100000 or 44.2 of all
American imports in 1884. In re-
turn. foreign countries have made

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-05-27

Consequently, when the United
States, in trade pact with sin
gle nation reduces its tariffs on
a commodity, the same rate auto
matically is extended to other
countries under the most-favored-
nations treaties. The process works
further than that. For example,
when Sweden recently reduced
her tariff on American autOmo-
biles Is per cent, she also eX-
tended the same lower tariff to
countries having most-favored-
nation treaties with her.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-05-27

The figures show that from
1925 to 1929 our exports aver
aged annually about $4,000 0O.-
900 but by 1882 dropped to ST.
Gil, 100000 Part of this loss in
trade is to be blamed on the de-
preston but some Of it undOubt-
eddy followed decreased imports
when high tariff rates prevented
profitable trade. In 1884, when
imports began to move upward,
trade experts point out that ex-
ports also improved. OF course, it
should be noted that business was
improving at the time.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-05-27

In considering the American
tariff situation, one should re-
member that the tariff of 1922,
boosted by the Hawley-Smoot Act
of 1880, resulted in a great wall
being thrown around imports into
this country and, in the opinion
of a majority of economists, caus-
ed a reduction of purchases in
this country by other nations.

The elder Sherman, tall and
lean, believes GENERALIZATION is
responsible for the drouth. In Sd
years here he has seen many a
drouth, including that of 1884
but none so hapless as this.
The elder Sherman also believes
that the migration, if accomplish
ed on a large scale, may be the
salvation of the area. If the land
is left fallow it will reutrn to

mulate once more and in years to

the right of a woman in a mans

portunity came with the Crimean
War when, despite bitter opposi-

efforts, the nursing profession was
completely reformed. The picture
