 Cases To Be Decided
 Five suits challenging the validity of the National Labor Relations Act hailed by labor as its magma carta". The decisions not only may affect present labor tenseneSg in leading industries but may deter mine the force which is to be be- hind organized labor's fight on the court.
 A suit involving validity of the railway labor act, which extends to railroad labor the gamc protection in organization aS does tho national labor act to general industrial work CTS.
 A challenge of the validity of the Washington State minimum wage case. The act ts similar to other state minimum wage legiglation for women which the court has consist ently condemned under the due procesS" clause of the 18th amend ment. A ruling here might affect the outcome Of the fight of Senator William E. Borah, R.. Idaho. to alter the l4th amendment.
 A plea for rehearing in the New York unemployment insurance case which involves a vital feature of the new deals social security act. The case was decided in favor of the law in November but by four to four vote and without opinion. An opin- ion in the case would probably serve to establish the validity of similar laws in other statcs.
