that no employee took part in any

The decisions of the Supreme
Court rendered last week, up
holding the National Labor Rela-
tions (Wagner) Act, mark an
epoch in the history of capital
and labor. In effect, the Court
has modernized the interstate
commerce clause by holding, for
the first time, that industries or
ganized on national scale are
within the regulatory powers of
Congress when interstate COM
merce is "the dominant factor in
their activities"

The Court made a distinction
between national and local COM
merce, as provided in the Consti-
tuition, and pointed out that in
dustrial activities in close and
substantial relation to interstate
commerce are subject to congress
sional control, although warning
that this control should not be
extended so far as to include "ef-
fects so indirect and remote that
to embrace them in view of our
complex society would effectual-
ly obliterate the distinction be-
tween what is national and what
is local and create a completely
centralized government"
Repeating the words of a pre-
vious decision, the Chief Justice
declared that whatever amounts
to more or less constant practice
and threatens to obstruct or un-
duly to burden the freedom of in
terstate commerce is within the
regulatory power of Congress, un-
der the commerce clause, and it
is primarily for Congress to con-
slider and decide the effect of the
danger and meet it." Moreover,
ultra-state activities by reason of
close and intimate relation to in
ter-state commerce may fall with
in Federal control. The fact that

Without attempting to give the
full reasoning of the Court, or of
the dissenting justices, in the face
of the Jones and Laughlin Com
pany, a steel company owning
mines, railroads, steamships and
other subsidiary corporations, the
Court attempted distinction be-
tween national and local COM
merce and decided that labor diff
ficulties in the manufacturing
works at Pittsburgh and Aliquip-
pa affected commerce" and for
that reason could be the proper
subject of Federal legislation de-
signed to prevent the burdening
or obstruction of interstate com
merce.

Five cases We're before the
Court, all involving appeals from
ruling of the National Labor Re-
lations Board, set up by the Wag-
ner Act and growing out of the
discharge of employees who had
been active in labor organization.
In one case, involving a transpor-
tat:on company which conceded
that it was engaged in interstate
business, the Court was unani-
nous in declaring that it must
obey the Act.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-04-20

In addition, " more remote
and indirect interference with in
terstate commerce or a more def
mite invasion of the powers re-
served to the states is difficult, If
not impossible to imagine" The
effect "any cause of discomfort
may ultimately have upon COM
meree is far too indirect to justify
congressional regulation" More
over, the dissenters held that the
regulation of causes of labor un-
rest, such as the discharge of an
employee for union activity, abridg-
de the right of contract, including
that of a private owner to imam
age his own. property by freely
selecting those to whom his manu-
featuring operations are to be en-.
trusted"
