CONTROL UPHELD
Supreme Court Says Law
Giving States Power Is q,
Constitutional.
BY the Associated Press,


The Hawes-Cooper law empowering
States to control or prohibit the sale
within their borders of prison made
goods brought in from outside was
held constitutional today by the Su-
preme Court.
The unanimous decision, delivered
by Justice Sutherland. was on an ap-
peal by Asa H. Whitfield, convicted in
Cleveland of violating the Ohio law
enacted in conformity with the
Hawes-Cooper act.
Whitfield was fined $25 for selling
in Cleveland, work shirts manufac-
tured in the Wetumpka Prison in
Alabama. The Ohio Supreme Court
dismissed his appeal. That action had
the effect of upholding the Hawes-
Cooper act.
His attorneys contended Congress
was without power to divest itself
Of control over interstate commerce
and hence could not delegate to the
State control over prison made prod
uctS.
Both the FEDERAL Government and
the States. they argued, are powerless
to stop interstate commerce in goods
that are not harmful.
Sutherland said the whole question
centered in validity of the Hawes-
Cooper act.
THE view of the State of Ohio that
the sale of convict-made goods in
competition with the products of free
labor is an evil" the justice said
finds ample support in fact and in
the similar legislation of a prepon-
derant number of other States Acts
of Congress relating to the subject
also recognize the evil
"All such legislation. State and
Federal, proceeds upon the view that
free labor, properly compensated, can
not compete successfully with the en-
forced and unpaid or underpaid con-
vict labor Of the prison.
"A State basing its legislation upon
that conception has the right and
power, so far as the Federal Consti-
tuition is concerned, by non-discrim-
mating legislation, to reserve its pol
icy from impairment. or defeat, by
any means appropriate to the end and
not inconsistent with that instru-
ment."
