CANADA BATTLES
FOR VO|DEDLAWS
ijrqeS Provinces to Enact
Social Legislation Held
Invalid.
Hy the Associated Press.

HI Inc hSSUCidlCu
OTTAWA, February 27.-Canada,
checked in her national move toward
social-economic reform. sought today
to cling to some of her ground
through provincial legislation action.
The Privy Council in London sent
into the discard most of the broadest
social and economic program ever at
tempted by the Dominion, holding the
laws invalid in a ruling which closely
parallels the States rights" issue in
the United States.
This high court of appeal declared
unconstitutional the legislation for
unemployment insurance. minimum
wages, limitation Of working hours
and regulation of marketing.
The council held the Dominion
government had no right to adopt
such laWs-that such power was re-
served to the provinces.
Provincial Leaders Receptive.
The Dominion government now Is
asking cooperation from the pro-
vincial Legislatures to make the legis-
lation effective in the individual pro-
vinces. Some provincial leaders are
receptive.
The Privy Councils ruling is ex-
pected to be debated at the present
session of the Dominion Parliament,
and the Canadian government prob
ably then will make clear its future
program.
Actually, only two of the laws had
been put into effect-that to help farm
debtors, which was ruled valid, and
that permitting farmers to combine
to regulate production and marketing
of their products, which was declared
unconstitutional
The invalidated legislation was
adopted by the Ottawa Parliament
during the administration Of Con-
servative former Prime Minister r. B.
Bennett. Later it was referred to the
Supreme Court of Canada by the
present Liberal government.
Neither the Privy Council nor the
Supreme Court can pass on whether
law is just. They can decide on
whether legislation is inside Dominion
or provincial jurisdiction.
Court Split on Three Laws.
Canada's Supreme Court held two
of the laws invalid. split on three, and
ruled two and part of another were
valid.
Then the government asked the
Privy Council. the final appeal group
10 rule on the legislation. 1t upheld
measures to regulate trade practices
and to assist indebted farmers, but
scrapped the rest as being beyond the
federal governments authority.
The constitution empowered the
Dominion Parliament to make ano
carry out provisions Of treaties. Three
of the measures referred to the Su-
preme Court and the Privy Council
for regulation of hours of work, mini
mum wages and days of rest-were
included in labor conventions which
arose out of the postwar treaty OF
Versailles, which Canada ratified
Those were among the laws invai-
dated by the Privy Council.

But today, coyote couldn't run
from the clubhouse to the infield, q

a page-one name at every step. And
what they all wanted to know was
Who's going to win?
Black Sea Of Autos.
They came early. BY noon, a full
hour before the first race, the cement
parking area outside the grandstand
was black sea of automobiles. In.

with automobiles, the dead heads
who don't believe in paying admission
prices.

eyed young girl, whom many claim
is Mrs. Chaplin, was wearing the
close fitting helmet hat which is hel
talisman of good luck every time she
comes to Santa Anita. Gene Tunney
and Herbert Bayard Swope were
standing together.
A young girl cheWed a pencil as she
studied her program. Some one
bumped her arm. She almost swal-

made one partial effort to retrieve it

she said, "I1l get it back on the

The only standing room was i'm

count. 1t was merely something that
bought ticket on the next race.
