Train Wreck
% PERSONS ON TWO
TRAINS ESCAPE
UNHURT

The crash of a west bound
freight train and passenger
train bearing football fans on the
M and st. L at Gaylord early
Saturday morning resulted in in
convenience to Morton, Redwood
Falls, North Redwood and Bechyn
residents. Although no injuries
were sustained, several merchan-
disc shipments consigned to the
communities were burned in two
freight cars. 49,
Clifford James, attorney, who
opened offices here this week lost
two desks, a chair and filing cab
met in the wreck. The Ben
Kuenzli grocery store at North
Redwood and the two Bechyn
stores also lost merchandise.
The trains crashed at about
4: 40 a. m. when Engineer Thomey
of the passenger train was wheel
ing his train at reduced speed
through the outskirts of Gaylord
The west bound freight was pull
ing onto a siding from the main
line.
Thomey saw the shadow of the
moving freight train and Slam
med on his brakes.
He shouted and then leaped as
he saw the space between the
freight and his cab shorten.
The gas-electric engine crashed
through the second car of the
freight, plowed on and telescoped
the first freight car.
/. Fuel oil from the engines tanks
sprayed on hot cylinder heads
causing a dull explosion and
flash of flame. Then another ex-
plosion followed. The engine was
enveloped in fire and black
smoke.
The 25 persons on both trains
escaped without serious injury.
We've had a clear record for
a year and then in one morning
we had a mail robbery and train
wreck" Joseph Ziegler, North
Redwood station agent, sighed.

In commenting upon the majority
decision last June this column said:
The majority argument is disturb
ing. 1t Is founded upon freedom OF
contract and an eighteenth century
Interpretation Of that phase. The
same argument was brought up
against all the protective legislation
introduced so years ago in Germany
and England, but 1t has not been
heard elsewhere for generation. No
modern Interpretation Of competitive
economy includes the right to pay
labor less than must, by the very ma
ture OF things, be paid to q machine!
For machines must be maintained!
Competition starts with rules, one
cannot throw human bones and blood
into the scales. The decision Is dis
turbing because OF possible public
reaction The great danger exists
that revolt against the decision will
become a revolt against the Supreme
Court, which for $50 years has helped
to stabilize this Republic, and repub-
lies are not, historically considered,
strong institutions. No republic can
last without standards, without some
ultimate authority to which to appeal.

cision that this column ventured .

the Supreme Court may be under
mined directly or, worse, by indirec-
ton. Indirectly, for instance, its
membership may be extended, thereby
turning it admittedly into political
body"
That the Supreme Court itself has
had the courage to reverse previous
| decision on the basis OF further
thought, knowing as it did so that 1t
would throw itself open to charges
of yielding to threat, is heartening
thing There is nothing new in 1t.
Decisions have been reversed before
in our history.
The present one is upheld unani-
mously. In rejecting the first bill the
Supreme Court enumerated mort
gagees rights, which were nve in
number and made it clear that the
protection Of those rights did not out
law alienation to the farmers in the
form of a moratorium, but that the
moratorium must offer protection for
those rights. 1t was on the basis OF
that decision that the legislators were
able to draft another bill This deci-
sion indicates that the Supreme Court
Is conscious that new conditions re-
quire new laws regulating economic
rela tionships.

court realizes that legislation must not

cases 'have no present application"
it was tantamount to saying that the
court found no necessity for overrul-
ING these decisions Of 1908 and 1914.
Minority Protected.
What the unanimous opinion this
week really did was to say that Con-
gress had right to insist on COM
pulsory negotiation, that railroad en-
ployers could be required by law Ito
treat with" the spokesmen Of a ma
jority of their employees, but that Con-
gress could not compel the parties to
reach an agreement nor could Con-
gress deprive minority of the work.
men Of their right to treat with
their employers provided the minority
did not seek collective or group rights
which purported to make . rule as
applying to general working conditions
in which the majority spokesmen had
been designated as the true repre-
sentative"
In other words, in the case OF rail-
roads, which is, of course, directly un-
der Government regulation. the power
OF minority to impair or interfere
with the negotiations conducted by
majority was to be limited, though
their rights as individuals doubt
less this covers the rights of their
duly chosen agents-were not to be
curtailed.
1t would appear that the Supreme
Court has pointed to compulsory ne
gotiation as an essential prerequisite
to industrial peace. Congress and
the States will not be slow to take the
hint in future labor legislation. Along
with compulsory recognition or ne
gotiation of majorities in industrial
units, however, would no doubt come
some form of legislation, such as is
already included in the railway labor
act, which definitely limits the right
to strike until certain processes OF
mediation have been exhausted by
both sides, circumstance that makes
virtually illegal anything in the ma
ture of an arbitrary "shut-down' or
sit down"

from the Adkins case. However. tne
Court of Appeals in New York ltsel1
had held the New York act to De un-
constitutional, so that the supreme
Court was upholding the decision OF a
State court in regard to State law
Now. in sitting upon the Washington
case, it had to consider law Whlch
the Supreme Court OF that state nao
upheld as constitutional, the State
court in Washington having refused to
regard the Supreme Court decision IN
the Adkins case as determlnatlVe.
There was. therefore, the case OF the
Supreme Court of State being In
conflict with the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and this was certainly
a reason why the Supreme Court
should reconsider, especially as its de-
cision had been almost universally de-
plored throughout the country on
perfectly non-partisan basis, and the
decision had caused the suggestion OF
an amendment to be written IN the
platform of both political parties.
In no case. therefore, can the
changed decision Of the Supreme
Court be regarded as yielding to par
tsan political pressure.
Fresh Interpretation.
The most interesting and encour-
aging feature Of the new decision Is
that it gives fresh Interpretation TO
the due process clause OF the four
teenth amendment, an Interpretation
which may, by inference, be extended
to the fifth amendment.
It has been the contention OF liber-
als-a contention which this column
believes to be sustained by many court
decisions-that the due process clause
has often been used to protect prop
erty in a too narrow sense OF the
term, treating property as though It's
| ownership and management were
completely free from any social re-
sponsibilities.
The majority decision Monday has a
few sentences of great value. 1t says:
The Constitution does not speak OF
freedom Of contract. 1t speaks OF lib
erty and prohibits the deprivation OF
| liberty without due process Of law In

Knickerbocker.
Chollie, in his customary de-
