opinions are misguided and bad in in
depreciation of constitutional law, but
they want decisions overturned by the
forces of reason and persuasion in new
cases or new laws rather than by the
exercise of a Presidents political
powers in Congress.
1t is known that justices of the
court feel that their Saturday con-
ferences in which each justice must
"recite," so to speak, on every case
argued the previous five days is a long
and laborious task. Discussion even
by nine men is held to be tedious,
especially when sharply controversial
matters present themselves. What
then is to happen if IS justices have
to be heard each Saturday afternoon,
and if the many briefs and records and
opinions have to be examined by each
of IS justices, when petitions for
review are presented?
The opinion Of several lawyers who
practice before the Supreme Court
and who are familiar with court pro-
cedure is that Mr.. Roosevelt has made
out a very weak case for increasing the
size of the Supreme Court, though, to
be sure, his comments on the crowded
condition of the lower courts and the
need for additional judges there are
accepted as in the main praiseworthy.

Strikers Manage to Keep DEGREES for Evacuation

counsel went before the County Court
In Flint, Mich, to ask for an injunc-
ton ordering the sit-down strikers to
terminate their illegal occupancy Of
General Motors property.
Lewis Expands.
During the very hours when this
application was being argued before
the court, Lewis Union, far from show
ing respect to the court, or apprehen.
sion about what action the court
might take, actually enlarged the area
Of their strike. They continued to
occupy the two buildings they had held
for four weeks-and they threw an
additional force of sit-down strikers
into third building.
The following day. the court handed
down its decision. The court declared
that the occupation OF General Mo-
tors property by the sit-down strikers
was illegal. The court issued an order
calling on the sit-down strikers to
leave the plants.
This order by the court was deliv-
cred to the sheriff. The sheriff read
it to the sit-down strikers. The re-
sponse of the sit-downers was, accord
ing to newspaper reports, booing OF
the sheriff.
The sit-down strikers sent a tele-
gram to Gov. Murphy of Michigan
saying, among other things. I'VE have
decided to stay in the plant"
The strikers were now not only in
illegal possession Of private property;
they were also in contempt of court.
The court, apparently. according to
Michigan procedure, took the ground
that it was not called upon to do any
thing further until General Motors
gave the court formal notice that the
courts order had not been obeyed, and
that the illegal possession continued.
This General Motors did. Thereupon,
the court issued what is known as .
writ of body attachment"
Obviously the sheriff could not,
alone, arrest and remove several hum
dred men. On February he asked
Gov. Murphy to give him the assist
ance of the National Guard to carry
out the courts writ.
Courts Guns Spiked.
To this request the Governor up to
this writing has made no reply. The
situation in Michigan is that the court
has followed the procedure laid down
for it by law. The court. however, Is
made impotent to enforce its decree
so long as the Governor of the State
does not provide the necessary force.
What Mr.. Roosevelt has done at
Washington with his proposal to re-
duce the independence of the courts
is frontal attack on the authority
of the judicial branch Of government.
What Governor Murphy, the New Deal
Governor Of Michigan, has done,
amounts to flank attack. The two
actions fit into the same pattern.
Those are the basic facts Of the
situation. Perhaps it should be said
in fairness to Governor Murphy that
in failing to give support to the court
and sheriff, he seems to put his fall
ure on the ground that he wishes not
to cause disorder. But there might not
now be danger of disorder if earlier
he had made clear his determination
that in any and all eventualities he
would see that the law was upheld.

the relation Is fundamental IN the
sense that both are attacks upon the
power Of all courts Both are parts
Of a movement advancing on several
fronts. designed to reduce, or having
the effect of reducing. the authority
of the judicial arm of government and
increasing the authority of the Exec
utive.
Mr.. Roosevelt's action about the
courts and the developments In the
Michigan strike are further related
in that the conferences about the
strike were inspired by Mr.. Roosevelt
and are sponsored by him. When
Gov. Murphy Of Michigan asked the
head of the strikers and the officials
of General Motors to confer with him.
he stated in his request that 1t was
in accordance with the wish of the
President of the United States" !"
Throughout the conferences newspa-
per dispatches have repeatedly quoted
Gov. Murphy as saying he was keep
ing in constant touch with President
Roosevelt.
LChpSCe
One of the effects OF Mr.. Roosevelt's
sensational action about the courts, at
the particular time he took it, was to
take public attention away from what
Is happening in Michigan. For more
than two weeks the Michigan strike
had been occupying first place in the
attention OF the public, with increas-
ing concern about developments in
that quarter. Suddenly, last Friday.
Mr.. RooSevelt's action about the courts
eclipsed everything else. I observed
in New York newspaper on Saturday
morning q dispatch which recited q
momentous development in Michigan.
That dispatch ordinarily would have
occupied the first page and would have
attracted grave attention from the
country. But with Mr.. Roosevelt's s
action about the courts filling the first
page and several succeeding ones, the
dispatch about the Michigan strike
was pushed into the obscurity Of
page 80.
Understanding Of the present stage
Of the Michigan strike may be had
by following the recent developments
in sequence.
