Meree. This would seem to re-
open the door to modified NRA,
that would seek to regulate basic
industries whose products go into
interstate commerce.
There also was talk here Of COM
panion legislation to make labor
unions responsible by law for their
actions, but this had not progressed
beyond the talking stage.
While Chief Justice Hughes
drew . line between the decision
scuttling MIRA and yesterdays
five decisions upholding the
Wagner Labor Act, many con-
gresSional lawyers maintained the
way was opened for Federal con-
troll Of most of the nations indus
tries.
In arguing that the courts rul-
ing that the labor act can be ap-
piled to manufacturers where
labor disputes might burden inter-
state commerce, the lawyers, tax
ing the view that a new NRA could
be raised, pointed to Justice Nc
Reynolds dissent. Justice Nc
Reynolds said the majority on the
court had departed from the
principles" laid down in the NRA
case.
Mr.. Roosevelt, 1t was learned,
has been leaning to the idea Of
creating q board to regulate
hours Of labor in industry. Un.
der this plan, one industry might
be placed on q 30-hour week
basis and another on q 40-hour
week.
National Policy Sped
While Mr.. Roosevelt has indi
Gated that substitute NRA leg
islation would await settlement

lieved the labor act decisions
would prompt early consideration
Of . national labor policy.
While the decisions upholding
the labor act in the Washington,
Virginia and Maryland Coach Com
pany and the Associated Press
cases generally were anticipated
following the railway labor act de.
cision two weeks ago, the courts
rulings upholding the law in three
manufacturing cases created q
sensation among lawyers.
Held NRA Invalid
Justice Owen j. Roberts, whose
vote decided the balance Of power
in the 5-to-4 decisions upholdine
the labor act in the three manu-
featuring cases, was among those
who held MIRA and the Guffey coal
act invalid. He also was the jus
tice whose vote made possible the
decision of two weeks ago, holding
the Washington State minimum

The minority opinion Of Justice
McReynoldS declared that the
court reversed the Guffey coal act
case-which meant that the mi
nority commended that Justice Rob
erts had reversed himself.

State Comptroller William s..
Gordy, jr., who, under the law
passed by the legislature, would
be the bookmaking Gear" of the
State, estimated that receipts
from the bill would be almost
two million dollars short Of the
amount needed by the State board
of aids and charities.
Senator Melvin Fine of Baltimore
and. Senator Harry PhoebuS of
Somerset county yesterday de-
clared they favor q special session
to reconsider the relief question.
Several members Of the house of
delegates also declared they would
favor q special session, and said
they would vote to repeal the legal
ization of bookmaking, and in its
place increase slightly the State
property tax to raise relief funds.
With only one member dissent
ing the Baltimore city council
voted to ask the governor to call
a special session, and several men,
bers branded the bookmaking pro-
vision as "the worst piece of 1egiS.
lation ever passed"
One member Of the council,
Thomas D'Alesandro, jr., voiced
objection to the provision Of the
bill fixing the license fee for book
makers in Prince Georges county
$25, 900 higher than in the rest of
the State, where it is 5000 a year

This was done, D'Alesandro
charged, to put bookmaking in

George Sellmayer, president of
the council, upheld the legiSla-
ton, declaring that bookmaking
has been so widespread in Balti-

times recommended it be made
