Supreme Court Upholds Law Giving
States Right to Bar Prison Goods

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-The
Hawes-Cooper act, designed to per-
nit states to bar prison-made goods,
was upheld by the supreme court in
a unanimous decision on March ?.
The courts decision is regarded as
an important victory for organized
labor, which sponsored the Hawes-
Cooper act, was largely instrumental
in having it made law and has fought
vigorously to have it upheld and en-
forced.
In upholding the law, the supreme
court decided that prison-made goods
produced in one state may not be sold
in other states which have laws
against such sale.
The opinion, read for the court by
Justice Sutherland, is regarded Of
prime Importance in states which
have passed these laws for their pro-
lection.
The case originated when Asa II.
Whitfield sold in Cleveland, Ohio, one
dozen Chambray work shirts manu-
factured at Wetumpka prison in Ala
bama, and also sold SIX dozen Of the
shirts for shipment TO r. g. Kissaek
Of Lakewood, Ohio Whitfeld's con-
viction in the Cleveland municipal
court was sustained by the higher
state courts.
Lawyers for Whitfield argued that
congress lacked power to divest it.

GUFFEY COAL ACT
Miners Union and New
Mexico Say

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)- The
United Mine Workers Of America
came to the defense of the Guffey
coal control act in the supreme court
by filing a brief as "a friend of the
court which contended that the law
was proper and constitutional regu-
lation of "chronically insolvent in
dustry'
The brief said that the act was
made necessary because competitive
conditions in the bituminous coal in
dustry since 1924 have been 50
bad that the average price received by
producers has been less than the
average cost of production. An ex-
ception was noted in 1884, when the
NRA code was in effect.
The brief was filed by Henry War
rum counsel for the mine workers.
A surprise move of possible vital
effect on the supreme court Guffey
coal test suit was made when New
Mexico intervened in the case to deny
that it had power to control the bi-
luminous coal industry.
The significance Of the states in
tervention lay in the fact that at
tempts of the federal government t.
control industrial and farm production
have generally been condemned as al
invasion of state rights.
The brief declared that the fedora
government has the power to reg
ulate btuminous coal prices under The
commerce clause of the constitution
whereas the state has not.
On the grounds that wages ane
hours and other labor relations di
rectly affect interstate commerce, tht
federal government has the power t
regulate them too, the brief said.
Attorney General Frank II. Pattoi
of New Mexico, wrote the brief

BERRY COUNCIL
For Regulation of Industry
Along NRA Lines

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Pro-
posals for establishment of a fed
eral commission with powers to reg
ulate hours, wages and trade practices
along the lines Of NRA are favored
by Mai George L. Berry's Council for
Industrial Coordination
Berry is expected to lay before the
president soon program recommend
ed by seven committees of the coun-
eli.
The committee on hours and wages,
it was learned, has submitted a re-
port setting forth as basic policy"
that the federal government should
have hand in regulating relations
between employer and labor
The policy was understood to be
based on figures showing purported
lowering in hour and wage standards
since invalidation Of NRA.
The committee recommended that
a federal commission, fashioned along
the lines Of the federal trades commits
sion, be established to foster formu-
lation Of fair practice codes for in

BILL AIMED
AT Child Labor Defeated In
Massachusetts

Boston tILNS)-A bill aimed at
child labor and sponsored by the Mas
sachusetts State Federation Of Labor.
was defeated in the state legislature.
The bill called for raising of the
compulsory school attendance age
from IA to 16, as a means of keeping
boys and girls in school for two years
longer instead Of allowing them to
compete with unemployed men and
women, many of them married and
with families, for permanent and tenn
porary employment Of various kinds.
It was pointed out that many em-
ployers, in the fever to get the cheap
est kind of help, have hired boys and
girls in the teens, at less than half
what men and women would expect,
and thus hardship has been caused,
and the circulation Of money has been
restricted.
The bill had the approval of the
governor and former state educa-
tion commissioner. After being killed
in the house it was put to vote in
the senate, where the tally was rs
to against An effective lobby was
used by opponents of the bill.

state commerce in goods that were
not harmful
Justice Sutherland said in the
courts opinion that "the view Of the
state Of Ohio that the sale Of con-
vict-made goods in competition with
the products of free labor is an evil
finds ample support in fact and in
the similar legislation of a prepon-
derent number Of the other states"
"All such legislation, state and
federal, proceeds upon the view
that free labor, properly compen-
sated cannot compete success
fully with the enforced and un-.
paid or underpaid convict labor
of the prison" the opinion con-
tinued
"A state basing its legislation upon
that conception has the right and
power, SO far as the federal consti-
tuition is concerned, BY non impanine
legislation, to preserve its policy
from impairment or defeat, BY any
means appropriate to the end and moi
inconsistent with that instrument"
Alabama fought, and Ohio de-
Tended, the Cooper act in the
arguments before the court. New
York interviewed in behalf of its law
similar to Ohio's.
The Cooper act gives effee
tive control over convict-made goods
to the states which have passed en-
abling laws, except where goods arr
made in federal penitentiaries fol
use III such institutions in Other
states.
