Wagner Law Vital

wagner Law Vital
While the Roosevelt admins
tration won two cases in the
term beginning in October, there
was a possibility that other i'm
portant acts might be invali-
dated. Outstanding among the
issues to be decided in 1887 is
constitutionality of the Wagner
labor relations law.
One of the most far-reaching
decisions of the court was it's
4 to division upholding consti-
tutionality of the New York un-
employment insurance law.
While the decision was 4 to 4,
Justice Harlan F. Stone, liberal.
did not participate because of
illness. On the basis of his past
decisions, court observers felt GER.
tain that he would vote to up
hold the law.
Healthy Group
Frequent speculation over the
health of the justices, six of
whom are past 10, proved to be
wide of the mark. The only
justice stricken with illness up to
December term was Justice Stone.
81, second youngest member of
the court. He suffered an attack
of dysentery.
A notable occasion in the life
Of the court during the year was
the eigthieth birthday of Justice
Louis Dembitz Brandeis. Although
Justice Brandeis refused to OBJ
serve his birthday. friends in all
parts Of the country acclaime
his long record on the bench.

HIGHEST COURT
FOUND 1896
BUSY YEAR
BY WILLIAM 8. NEAL
International News Service

The Supreme Court has passed
through a momentouS year.
Just what may flow from de-
cisions Of the court holding un-
constitutional momentous enact
ments Of the Roosevelt Admins
tration Is yet to be determined.
A possibility exists that the
Administration may go before the
Nation with one or more con-
stitutional amendments to obtain
power which the high court says
Congress now lacks under the
Nations fundamental law.
Agitation to curb the present
court, either by enactment Of
legislation limiting its jurisdic-
tion or packing" it with addi-
tional liberal judges, is expected
to break out soon after the
Seventy-fifth Congress swings
into action.
Court Battle Looms
Public debate over the high
court during 1886 is an example
of history repeating Its elf.
At intervals during the Nations
$50 years Of life the court has
been the storm-center Of political
debate. On one occasion it was
enlarged to reverse a decision.
The court sprang into the
nuhlic eve earlv in 1896. On
January 6 it handed down its de-
cision holding unconstitutional
the AAA processing tax, corner
stone of the agricultural program
launched by the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration to give agriculture
"parity with industry"
The decision demolishing the
AAA program, coming some eight
months after it destroyed the
NRA, did not bring from President
Roosevelt a restatement Of his
earlier "horse and buggy days"
comment. But critics in Congress
took up the cry and urged the Ad-
ministration to do something"
G. o. p. Urged Amendment
Early in 1886 it appeared that
the court might be a vital issue
in the presidential campaign. This
prospect, however, was destroyed
when the court held unconstitu-
tional the New York minimum
wage law for women in a 5-to-4
decision.
AS a result, Republican leaders
declared for constitutional
amendment to give States this
power. And the Demomratic ma
tional convention went even fur
ther in pledging constitutional
amendment if necessary to secure
what the Administration consid-
cred vital objectives.

ministration rules to aid drought
refugees" from dust bowl States.
In the deficiency appropriation re-
quest the President referred to the
drought as an unforeseen factor" in
Federal relief expenditures, asserting
that about 250,000 stricken farm
families were being transferred from
work projects this Winter to the Re-
settlement Administration. Under
this program. he added, they are be-
ing given direct grants for subsist-
ence through the Winter and other
aids Ito get them started on an inde-
pendent basis when the planting
season arrives"
Problem Declared Diminished.
At the outset, the President said the
problem of relief in general had dimin-
ished with the extensive re-employ-
ment and recovery which has occurred
in nearly all lines of business and in
dustrial activity"
Winter, he said, at least 5000, 900 more
workers were working at non-agri-
cultural jobs than four years ago. OF
this number. over 100000 had found
jobs with private industry in the past
year.
Just before the letter to Bankhead
was read to the House, the Speaker
told reporters he was going to try
to hold appropriations to an absolute
minimum, although he thought Con-
gress would "go along with the Presi-
dents suggestions"
He added there might be consider
able difference Of opinion among
members as to the amount needed for
relief.
