NOISE is GRAVE
HEALTH PROBLEM
DOCTORS BELIEVE

Noise constitutes a serious public
health problem in the opinion of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
Public Health Education Committee
which issued a bulletin on the sub
ject today.
Noise contributes definitely to ten
sion, restlessness and exhaustion and
these, in turn, play an important part
in the current high death rate from
heart and circulatory diseases.
The heart and circulatory diseases
often associated with kidney degener-
alton, are the result of wear and tear
on the body. They are brought on
prematurely by r-eXertion, too lit
tie sleep, by anxiety and tension. The
increasing noise, especially in the
cities and towns, is considered by all
medical authorities to be a definite
factor in wearing out modern men and
women before their time.
According to recent figures COM
piled by the life insurance companies
the death rate from the heart, arterial
and kidney group of diseases in the
country where the noise is less and
where people as a rule lead slower
quieter lives, is only half what it is
among factory and industrial workers
in the cities and it is much lower
than among professional men and
women and clerks, most of them en-
ployed, also, in the larger centers.
Noise automatically produces mus
cular tension and irritation even when
the victim is asleep and unaware OF
it, according to the doctors. In the
day time it makes concentration diff
cult. At night it deprives people of
proper rest and recuperation to with
stand the next days racket.

NRAS" for major industries is
virtual impossibility under
the Constitution.
2. The Wagner labor rela-
tions act is virtually certain to
be held unconstitutional as to
mining, manufacturing and
agricultural industries.
The decision voiding the Guffey
act was expected by most con-
gressional lawyers. Many who
urged the law felt there was lit
tie chance of it's standing the
acid test of the courts.
There were three big issues IN
the case-price-fixing of coal,
compulsory collective bargaining
and regulation of hours and
wages, and a tax Of is per cent
of the sale price of coal to force
compliance with code fair-trade
provisions.
Five justices said that it was
unnecessary to pass on the power
Of Congress to fix prices. Four
held that Congress has such
power. They were Chief Justice
Hughes and Justices BrandeiS,
Stone and Cardozo.
Six justices held the labor pro-
visions unconstitutional. Three
said that it was unnecessary to
decide this question. They were
Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo.
Six justices held that the IS
per cent tax was a penalty-and
not a real tax-and therefore was
invalid. Three justices, Brandeis.
Cardozo and Stone, held that it
was not invalid.
Cummings Plans Ruling
Attorney General Cummings,
stating that close study would be
necessary to determine what
course may still be open to the
Government in it's effort to regu-
late the industry, added:
ut should not be overlooked
that the opinion Of the three
dissenting justices, and the
separate opinion of the Chief
Justice, constitute the first
clear expression by members of
the Supreme Court uphOlding
the constitutionality of price
fixing for commodities moving
in interstate commerce.
Important, also, is the state
ment in the opinion of Justice
CardOzO that the prevailing
opinion leaves the price pro-
visions open for consideration
in the future
The majority of the court, in
discussing price provisions, ex-
pressed a belief Congress would
not have enacted them if it had
known that the labor provisions
were unconstitutional. For this
