Carolina has declared he NAV intro
duce a bill to prohibit shutdown
strikes.
First Federal judge to appear in
opposition to the court reform pro-
posal, Judge Knox told the committee
it should not be approved,
It is entirely natural, he said that
judges should divide on constitutional
questions, adding that the addition of
new justices would give no assurance
of unanimous opinions.
Judge Knox also eXcoriated Post
master General Farleys appeal to
party loyalty and the assertion that
the election gave President Roosevelt
q mandate to revamp the court. He
said:
The most Specious argument that
has been advanced for the so-called
reformation of the court is that the
measure should be supported out of
loyalty to the party
LAS a Democrat who refuses to be
read out of his party because of his
stand upon the issue before you I
say that the argument that party
regularity should affect the outcome
is unworthy of discussion. So far as
can observe, the real issue is whether
certain reforms, presently considered
to be desirable of attainment, shall be
secured in an orderly, constitutional
procedure or through program
which, if not unconstitutional, is
definitely and positively anti-consti-
tutional.
LAS citizens of free State, let us
be careful that through specious rea-
soning and fallacious argument we do
not create situation whereby our
judicial establishment will be rendered
akin to those that are to be found
in certain foreign lands whose ex-
ample we have no wish to follow.
Answers Mandate Argument.
"a typical argument against the
use of the amending process is that
the administration has a mandate
from the people. I should like to say,
point blank, that when I voted for
Mr.. Roosevelt it never occurred to me
that I was contributing to any such
mandate. Likewise, point blank, I
want to declare that if this issue had
been clearly presented in the cam
paign, the President would have been
denied my vote.
Furthermore, point to the mes
sage which accompanied this bill. 1t
makes no pretense that the people
ever had an opportunity to consider
the proposal In fact, know one
man who campaigned for the admin
istration. He has told me OF his en-
barrassment when, during the can
vass, he was asked how various ends
would be achieved in the light Of
certain decisions of the Supreme
Court. He reports that he generally
CLOSED over the problem. Such, too,
I think, was the approach made to
the people throughout the entire
Democratic campaign. Men who
worked valiantly to elect the Presi-

Here are answers to some questions
OF the man IN the street concerning
the Wagner labor relations act, up
held yesterday by the Supreme Court:
@. What rights does the national
labor relations act guarantee to labor?
A. It gives working men the right
to organize unions and to bargain
collectively with their employers
through chosen representatives. 1t
restraints employers from unfair
labor practices" including interfer-
ence with labor organizations and
discrimination against their members
@. Who enforces these rights and
guarantees?
A. The National Labor Relations
Board, three-member quasi-judicial
unit Of the Federal Government.
@. Does the Wagner act set up wage
and hour standards?
A. No. 1t merely assures the work.
er the right to bargain for them.
@. Will it stop all strikes?
A. The law says Nothing in this
act shall be construed so as to inter-
fere with or impede or diminish in
any way the right TO strike" j. War
rem Madden, chairman of the board,
said if employers will comply, further
strikes will not be necessary to estab-
lish the right of collective bargaining.
@. How does the board determine
what organization will represent the
workers in plant?
A. BY taking secret vote of the
workers. The representatives named
by majority of the employees be-
come the exclusive spokesman for all
the employees.
@. Can a worker choose not to
join the selected union?
A. Yes, but the union would still
speak for him in bargaining on wages
and working conditions
@. Henry Ford has declared he
would deal with his men individually

Test Applied to Smallest.

Our concern is with those activities
which are common to the three en-
terprises. Such circumstances as are
merely fortuitouS-siZe, character of
products, etc.-may be put on one
side. The wide sweep of the statute
will more readily appear if consider
alton be given to the boards proceed
ings against the smallest and rela-
lively least mportant-the clothing
company. If the act applies to the
relations of that company to en-
ployes in production, of course it ap-
plies to the larger respondents with
like business elements, although the
affairs of the latter may present other
characteristics. Though differing in
some respects, all respondents pro-
cure raw materials outside the State
where they manufacture, fabricate
within and then ship beyond the
State.
\ X X *
In the Summer of 1885 the en-
ployes at the Richmond plant formed
a local of the Amalgamated Clothing

The management at once indicated
opposition and declared it would not
permit employees to join. Hostile acts
and the circumstances of the dis
charge or demotion Of complaining
employees are described. 1t is said all
were discharged or denoted because
of union membership. And further
that interference by employers in
the mems clothing industry with the
activities of employees in joining and
assisting labor organizations and their
refusal to accept the procedure OF
collective bargaining has led and
tends to lead to strikes and other
labor disputes that burden and OBJ
struct commerce and the free flow
thereof"
The number of employees who Joined
the union does not appear; the gen.
eral attitude of employees toward the
union or the company is not disclosed
the terms of employment are not
stated-whether at will, by the day
OF by the month. What the loca
chapter was especially seeking at the
time we do not know.
No Strife in Evidence.
1t does not appear that either prior
or subsequent to the complaint,
there has been any strike, disorder OF
industrial strife at respondents fac
tory, or any interference with or stop
page OF production or shipment of its
merchandise. Nor that alleged unfair
labor practices at its plant had mate
rally affected manufacture, sale OF
distribution; or materially affected

The things inhibited by the labor
act relate to the management of a
manufacturing plant-something dis
tinct from commerce and subject to
the authority of the State. And this
may not be abridged because of some
vague possibility of distant interference

The Teamsters union hit
at Imperial Valleys $3,000,-
900 hay industry for the sec
ond time this week by fore
ing a Los Angeles dairyman
to refuse load of valley hay Fri
day because the truck driver did
not have union card.
Dave Gripsma, the dairyman, re-
fused to permit Jake Hasareff, the
non -union driver, to unload the
hay, he said, because the union
told him they would refuse to haul
milk from his dairy If he did so.
Neither driver nor truck was mo-
Tested. The dairyman declared he
feared. the nnon would boycott his
ranch II. he accepted the hay pur-
chased from a member Of the Inn
perial Hay Growers association.
Union members thus took another
step in their threat to control the
hauling of valley hay by striking
at the dairy industry in Los Ange-
les. They warned hay growers and
Associated Farmers early this week
that they would cut off the Los
Angeles milk supply if dairyrnen in
that area bought hay delivered
or truck manned by non-union
men.

arrived In that territory.
