Six-to-Three Decision Says
Conclusion Unavoidable
AS To .Price-F king
Order
CARDOZO, BRANDEIS,
STONE DISSENTERS
Chief Justice Hughes, In
Separate Opinion, Says
Act Might Be Sustained as
to Marketing Provisions of
Interstate Commerce; Big
Audience Present

Washington, May 18 (AP)-
The New Deal lost today in the
Supreme Court in it's contention
that the Guffey soft coal act
was unconstitutional.
In a trenchant decision. the court
said the conclusion was unavoidable
"that the price-fixing provisions of
the (bituminOus) code are so related
ito the dependent upon the labor pro-
visions, as conditions, considerations
or compensations as to make it clear
ly probable that the former, being
held bad, the latter would not have
passed.
"The fall of the former ibefOre the
COURT, therefore, carries down with
it the latter.
'"The price-fixing provisions of the
code are thus disposed of without com
ing to the uestion of their constitu-
tionality; but neither this disposition
of the matter nor anything we have
said is to be taken as indicating that
the court is of opinion that these pro-
visions, if separately enacted, could
be sustained"
The six-to-three decision was deliv-
cred by Justice Sutherland before a
crowded audience.
Justice Cardozo, Brandeis and Stone
dissented
A separate opinion was delivered by
Chief Justice Hughes, who contended
the act might be sustained Gin rela-
ton to the provisions for marketing
in interstate commerce."
"The decisions of the courts below
so far as they accomplish that result,
should be affirmed" he asserted.
The majority held. that Congress, in
the law, had exceeded it's power und-
er the Constitution in attempting to
regulate interstate commerce.
Constitutionality of the Guffey act
to permit Federal control of prices,
wages and hours in the bituminous
industry had been challenged by
James Walter Carter, West Virginia
and Virginia producer, and by 10 Ken
lucky operators.
The majority also held that it was
an improper delegation of power to
permit a majority to dominate a mi
nority SO far as wages and hours in
an industry are concerned
"The delegation" the opinion as
serted, lis so clearly arbitrary and so
clearly denial of rights safeguarded
by the due process clause of the fifth
amendment that it is unnecessary to
do more than refer to decisions of
this court, which foreclosed the uues-
ton"

looked hurt and unhappy she changed her mind oh al
right I'll talk to him"
Evelyn who was above listening GA mother ought
what's going in her house got little satisfac
ton from Dorathea's end Of the conversation.
The Washington times., 1936-11-06

But presently Dorathea came
back to the living room, helped
herself to a chocolate and then
said, "Well, where's the coat? I'm
going dinner dancing"
He came early, a square florists
box in his hands. Peeking out the
back window, Jan could see his
impressive car, lined up with the
other big cars Of the apartment
house people across the street.
Evelyn herself let him in,
chatted with him until Dorathea
was ready.
There's no reason why she
should object to him!" she COM
planned to Jan after they'd driven
away. "Of course, he is a little
redfaced and he has a kind Of
silly grin and what do you suppose
makes his hands so clammy? Ugh!
Gives me the creeps when I have
to shake hands with him. But,
nv goodness, he has money and
he's in society. He's just crazy
about Dorathea, and he could do
so much for her. I can't under
stand her!"
Maybe she just doesn't like
him." Jan suggested.
NONSENSE! It isn't as though
your Grandfather Failey were
alive. Beggars can't be choosers!
Oh, you know what I meant"
Evelyn decided to sit up for
Dorathea. "I have that blouse I
want to fix for her anyway" she
said. "A girl has to look nice in
business. Of course, those girls
dress too much, but one has to
keep up with them. don't think
Dorathea will work long, though.
Do you know, wouldn't be sur
prised if she married Stewey. Lots

to stand the other, you know"
Jan didn't know. She looked a
little worried.
go to bed If you want to. I
don't mind sitting up alone. It's
a little lonely. Those Squeaks at
night. OF course, I don't believe
in ghosts or anything, but it's
just the kind of place you could
think was haunted or something
if you believed in that sort Of
thing. You really ought to get
to bed, on account of tomorrow
being school day, but if you
should decide to sit up, we could
have toasted cheese sandwiches
., I wonder what Dorathea's
having. Of course, Mel doesn't
dance, but he could take me to a
night club. He's sort of important
looking, don't you think, Jan?"
"He looks rich"
That's what I said. Maybe I'll
ask him to take you, too, some
night soon. You're getting old
enough to go out a little. Why,
when I was your age
Evelyn never felt happier or
more hopeful. She fixed the
cheese sandwiches, gossiped with
Jan, making her feel grown-up
and important.
At IL o'clock Dorathea came in.
"Have a good time?" Evelyn de-
manded eagerly.
Dorathea unpinned her garden
las, tossed them to her mother.
Perfect"
"Where did you go?"
"The Mark. And then to cou-
pie of clubs. I saw Connie Lane
knew her pretty well at Miss
Carver's, you know. She asked
me to come to Sunday night sup
per, with Stewey."

See!"
Already she heard the wedding
march. Saw the notices in the
society columns. A white wedding
gown, Of course. Edith had the
lace veil that had been her
mothers. that all Of them had
worn. She'd get it. No danger Of
Edith needing it for her girls. "A
trousseau would cost money, but
Peter would help. He'd have to.
Besides, it would be in his own in
terest. He'd have one less to
think about. She'd mention
that, if he put up any protest.
Dorathea went to Connie Lanes
supper, went to theater, and an
other dinner dance with Stewey.
Evelyn could hardly contain
herself, she was so relieved and
excited. Don't you think Stewey
is sort of good looking?" she
asked Jan. IT don't mean hand
some-but good looking. Besides,
he's always so well DRESSED"
And then came the night that
Dorathea came home alone.
White, shaking. but close-lipped
as ever.

walled. I'm your mother. I've
got to know!"
Nothing happened"
"But something must have hap
pened. lean see for myself, and
besides, your coming home alone
that way, and not even letting
him explain"
There's nothing to explain. Be-
sides, don't worry, darling, Stewey
won't be around trying to explain.
There are some things that even
Stewey Parker knows"
But, darling, if you'll TELL
me! Sometimes a young girl
doesn't quite understand, and If
you'd just ten me. I could explain
and"
Times have changed since you
were a girl" Dorathea said. Il
don't want to say I told you So
but I had his number from the
first. You wanted me to give him
another chance. Like a fool I did.
Now I'm through with him and
don't you dare ever tell me to go
out with somebody again just
because he's got money. Don't
you ever dare tell me again-even
if you ARE my mother-do you
hear?"
Jan couldn't ask Dorathea, but
she did ask her mother.
MON, what did Stewey Parker
DO?" In her mind was the
blurred recollection Of the boy
who used to live in the tall stone
apartment house across the street,
of his clumsy, wet kiss.
1T don't know" Evelyn said. "1
don't know. She ought to tell
mel" And she gave up. and wept.

WIDOW IN FEAR

BOSTON, Oct. Is G.N.SO.-The
shadowy figure of a "big-shot
gang leader" today entered the
mystery of the murder of Grayce
Griffin Asquith, Weymouth widow
whose legs were found in Boston
Harbor.
Oscar Bartolini, Quincy chef
and handyman, who worked for
the slain woman and who now is
in Jail under $4,000 bond as
material witness, told police she
had lived the last few months in
mortal fear of some unidentified
underworld king. Bartolini said:
"He told her more than once
that she knew too much. One
time she told me I'm so afraid
for my life that some times /
think the best thing to do would
be to just disappear"
Bartolini added that the widow,
who had inherited $4,000 from
her husband, was paying some
body money all the time not to
hurt her"

CRITICIZED

Charging that thousands Of
Government employees are in
danger daily because of unsafe
elevators in Government build
ings, C. B. Mulvehill, of the Ma
tional Parks Service, today re-
vealed plans for early displace-
ment of lifts in six buildings.
The greater danger, he said, is
in the Veterans Administration
Building. where 10 elevators,
which he described as obsolete,
are carrying 1000 persons daily.
Sililar conditions exist elsewhere,
he said.
John A. Dickinson, mechanical
engineer of the Bureau of Stand
ards, following an inspection of
the Veterans Administration lifts,
commented on overlooking there,
stating:
"Such conditions would not
be permitted to exist in build
ings under private ownership.
They would be shut down by
the inspector of buildings. 1t is
most unfortunate that elevators
in aforementioned and Oper-
ated buildings should offer
greater hazards than those in
privately-owned structures. Obvi-
Ously, they should be safer"
Although carrying 80 per cent
overload, the Veterans Bureau ele-
vators will operate in their present
condition until January /, Mulve-
hill said, when installation of the
new elevators will be completed.
Contracts totaling $329,819 for
new lifts were let this week.
Last Saturday, it was revealed,
an elevator in the Resettlement
administration dropped sever II
floors with IA passengers. No one
was hurt.

Il must come right over" he told
her. ITS important"
Yes, Peter.

How ever did you get here so

that Payson was the man who tried
to help you on Evergreen Island,
and that he was the one who tried
to break into the radio room of
Woodford's yacht. And he knows
Payson is behind the White Club"
Julia drew quick breath. But
but how can they say I killed
Nesbitt?"
You mean the motive?" Kemp
froWned. II don't know vet what
Buchen will use. 1t may be that
you wanted to escape from the
yacht. He can prove you wanted
to get away. He might build it up
that way. He might build it up that
you got into an argument with Mes

was a mans, not a womans-be-
cause Nesbitt was stunned, then

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 (NEA) -
IN The old adage about people
who live in glass houses was one
that had to be taken figuratively,
because until lately whoever heard
of anybody really living in a glass
house? Now. though, it looks as if
pretty soon nobody would live in
anything else. Especially since the
builders have found way to COM
bine glass and privacy. For the
new glass blocks of which houses
may be made are translucent,
yet net transparent.
The blocks are used both in
side and out. Inside, Swallowed
corners are frightened with set-in
mirrored background and glass
shelving, panels or pillars.
The place where you can have
the most fun with glass indoors,
however, is with the bar and rec
reation room. The front of the
bar may be made most inexpen-
sively of a glass block with a
wooden counter laid atop, and
colored lights behind the glass.
Because it deadens sound, glass is
especially ideal for recreation
rooms where lots of whoopee is
being raised.
