The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-04-20

Without taking up the other
two cases, involving relatively
similar positions, we call atten-
ton to the Associated Press case
because the dissenting justices
took the position that the act
abridged the freedom of the press.
The dissenters took the position
that the Fifth Amendment has no
reservations and that it gives the
press the right to adopt any poll.

of an employee on grounds of ac-
tivities in labor organization was
a matter to be determined by the
management because his sympa-

involving labor and capital.

Another case involved the Asso-
ciated Press and while foor JUS
tees reserved decisions as to
whether the news agency was en-
gagged in interstate commerce the
majority of the Court, including
Chief Justice Hughes and Justices
Brandeis, Stone, Cardozo and
Roberts, made the law applicable
of the (AP). Justices Sutherland,
Van Devanter, Metropolis and
Butler dissented on the ground
that this involved the unrestrict-
ed freedom of the press and
threatened the objectivity of the
news reports. We will refer to
this case again below.

Like lot of other folks, Hugo Black
has pet idea.
He thinks old Dame Democracy can
go modern without losing her place
in the hearts of the American people.
But unlike most of us, Hugo Black
doesn't stop with the idea. He has
tried to prove he's right.
Whether he has succeeded is mat
ter of opinion But at least he has
fought to keep old Lady Democracy
in style" and consequently he has
won a nomination to the United
States Supreme Court.
About that idea.
Senator Black believes the language
Of the Constitution is sound enough
and broad enough to fit modern eco
nomic conditions, without tampering
In his opinion, the whole thing is a
matter of Interpretation by the Su-
preme Court.
Interstate Commerce.
His favorite example is interstate
commerce, that underlined something
which the Constitution says the Con-
gress shall regulate.
When our country was young there
was very little commerce among the
States" explains the champion Of ad-
vanced labor legislation.
In fact, the roads were so bad in
terstate commerce on large scale was
impossible, but now some statisticians
contend 80 per cent Of our commerce
is interstate.
Anybody can see that much of our
trade Is carried on nationally without
regard for State lines, so why should
We not state the thing in so many
words and proceed to have Congress,
regulate it?
"All We have to do is face the fac.
And, mind you, the Supreme Cour.
will face that fact!"
Those words were spoken quietly ir
the Senator's Office a few months be-
fore the Supreme Court did Just the
thing he said it was going to do. II
upheld the Wagner labor law anc
broadened its view of interstate com.
merce to do So
But don't get the idea that Hugo
Black is going to the Supreme Court
and trample down the rights o. tht
States and try to create an ogre Of
a central government. No such thing

in the United States Senate without
having something on the ball, and
sl.20 is all young Black had when he
migrated from Clay County to Bir-
mingham just after the turn OF the
century.
But he loves the law and people.
Ihat spelled success for the dark-eyed
lawyer, now 81, who knows when to
wear twinkle in his eve and when
to lash out like vicious prosecutor.
He personally was never more effer-
vescent and his tenacity never more
apparent than when he rode the wage
and hour bill through the Senate
hearings this Summer.
The Alabama Senator was com.
pletely lost in his task. He seldom
stopped to eat at meal time, but con-
stantly whipped away at the vell-nigh
impossible task.
one day photographer asked him
to pose and Black consented, but went
on working.

rapher, proffering comb.
oh, yes" rejoined the nearly bald
Black. My wife's been telling me to
get haircut for a week"
And then with that twinkling eve,
and puckering dimple that distin-
guishes the Alabaman in the Senate

| Il know" he said, there Is much
agitation at the present time to give
| labor contracts a legal status But
this cannot be done with safety"
Does that mean that labor does not
trust the actions of the courts?
The courts have discredited them
selves. Labor had nothing to do with
1t. The record of their decisions
| speaks for itself. The policy of almost
every lower court is, and has always
been, to suppress, not to uphold the
law Judges are political appointees. s"
| Howard was equally forceful in dis
cussing the proposal to force unions
to incorporate
Just consider the question log
lcally,' he said. Incorporation of
trade unions would be exactly oppo-
site, in its effect, to the incorporation
OF business. The purpose of incor-
poratlon of business is to limit the re-
sponslbility of business. The purpose
OF incorporation Of labor union is
to make the central organization re-
sponslble for the actions of every
member of that union. 1t would es-
tablish the unions responsibility at
inhnity.
Moral Sabotage.
Consider the possible results. It
would be a simple matter for persons
with ulterior motives to be .--et' in a
union. They would be accepted as
members Then they could very easily
perform some act of moral sabotage
The organiza ton would be held re-
sponsible and one more black mark
would be placed against its reputa-
ton"
Howard explained why he has for
Saken the tenets of craft unionism.
The c. I. O. is bound to win be-
cause it is the only policy upon which
1t IS possible to organize industry in
which millions are employed. Even
with unlimited resources, it would be
impossible to organize mass produc-
ton industries along the craft union
lines OF the A. F.. Of L.
What is the greatest obstacle now

Employers Refusal.
The greatest difficulty throughout
all the trouble of the past year has

should yield only to local public opin-
ion when it comes to wages and hours
Consequently, all the liberal labor
legislation sponsored by the Alabama
leader has avoided laying a heavy
hand on small town America. He says
that's true Of the 30-hour week bill he
failed to get through the Senate for
five years.
Likewise he thinks the wage and
hour law he succeeded in getting
through the Senate this year, will not
abruptly alter the lives and business
OF millions of Americans who love
their small town homes.
Not Easy 10 Explain.
All OF this philosophy has not been
easy to explain to the voters who sent

Bill on Benefits
In Future Vars
Passed in Senate
Veterans Aid Would Be
as Large as That in
World Conflict.
By the Associated Press.


The Senate passed and sent to the
House yesterday legislation to give
soldiers in future wars death and dis
ability benefits at least as large as
those granted to veterans of the
World War.
The proposal was introduced by
Senator Reynolds. Democrat. of North
Carolina. of the Senate Military Com
mittee, when the committee was con-
sidering antiwar profits legislation.
The bill would affect only persons
who may become disabled in the
military or naval service in future
wars and to dependents of those who
may be killed.
1t would not provide a bonus, nor
would it authorize non-service con-
nected disability payments.
The committee said the legislation
would tend to prevent war "by the
consequent greater realization on the
part of all citizens and taxpayers that
there inevitably must be a heavy
human sacrifice and human wreckage
Of war which must be equitably pro-
vided for and paid for"

MAY OFFER PEACE
Lewis Revolt Likely to Mo.
nOp0Iize Convention for
Fourth Year.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
American Federation OF Labor lead
ers, getting ready for their Denver
convention, agree that John L. Lewis
revolt will be the big issue before
the delegates.
Lewis and his industrial union move
ment have all but monopolized the
attention of the last three conven-
tons.
The revolt has spread so fast during
the last year, leaders say, that it is
bound to dominate this years conven-
ton agenda.
At San Francisco in 1884 Lewis
thought he had won his long argu-
ment that all the workers in each
big industry should be organized into
one big union, regardless Of traditional
A. F. OF l.. craft lines.
Decided to Bolt
At Atlantic City in 1885 Lewis
found that the A. F.. Of L. crafts had
no intention of surrendering their
claims to enrolling skilled workers
anywhere He therefore decided to
bolt the federation and to form the
G. l. o.
At Tampa, Fla, last year the A. F.
OF L. indorsed its Executive Councils
suspension Of 10 c. I. O. unions and
decided to fight back. Lewis, aban-
| doning any thought OF peace, set out
I to build a new American labor move

forces have invaded A. F. of l.. terri.
