Greatest Stride Topdrd Regulation
Hinge of Court Battle

WAsHINGToN.-The administrations mini
mum Wage-maximum hour-child labor bill is
the measure Roosevelt has had most in mind
during his the Supreme Court.
If the court swallow this one it will have
removed the most effective barriers which once
were up against the New Deal program. And
federal regulation will have taken its longest
stride.
Many of the barriers have been knocked down
in the past few months. The big one remaining
legal experts say. is the Hammer VS.. Dagenhart
5-to-4 decision which in 1918 knocked out
law prohibiting products made by child labor
from moving IN interstate commerce.
Roosevelt in his message to Congress, quoted
the dissenting opinion of the late Justice Holmes
in the Hammer case. But he didn't quote the
deciding majority opinion. And that's what
the court must reverse if the New Deal is TO
have its wage-hour- labor law. The pres
ent proposal would bar from interstate COM
merce products manufactured by children under
Is and by workers subjected to Oppressive"
wage and hour conditions as defined by Con-
greSS
The goods shipped are in themselves HARM
less" said Mr. Justice Day in the majority opin-
ion thereby distinguishing them from such
items as liquor, whose shipment into dry states
barred by the Webb-Kenyon act
Production not subject TO federal con-
troll. Day insisted, and the making of goods
and the mining OF coal are not commerce"
Consequently he held the production of articles
intended for interstate commerce was IAN inya-
sion by the federal power of the control of
matter purely local in character
And that reasoning still stands, although the
child labor law applied only TO the welfare of
exploited children, and the proposed legislation
is based on the claim that federal regulation
of business is necessary for protection of the
entire economic system.
The court has been gliding close to Hammer
VS.. Dagenhart in recent decisions, however.
In the recent Kentucky Whip and Collar case,
wherein the court upheld by unanimous decision
the Ashurst-Sumners act prohibiting shipment
OF ct-made goods into states having laws
against such goods, Chief Justice Hughes opined:
The Congress in exercising the power con-
fided TO it by the Constitution is as free as the
states to recognize the fundamental interests
OF free labor" = -
his message 10 Congress that Congress may
the states TO recognize and protect the funda-
mental interests of free labor"
Anyway the New Deal legalisS say that
ought to help upset Hammer VS.. Dagenhart.
If the bill passes, the makeup of the court
when the act comes up for the final judicial
test may determine the fate of this drastic
proposal
There is no real assurance that the three
liberal justices-Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo-
would uphold it. There is plenty OF douot about
Chief Justices Hughes and Justice Roberts. JUS
tiees McReynolds, Butler and Sutherland almost
certainly will vote against it if they are still on
the court when it comes up, although it is prob
able that whatever man Roosevelt picks to sue
ceed Justice Van Depanter would vote to declare
it valid.

When I say the flat drive I

the full face of the racquet is hit

spin on it, either top or back spin.
This is what is meant by a flat
drive.
There are two ways of making
a forehand drive. They are the cir
cular swing or the straight back
straight forward swing.
Rhythm to Swing
The circular swing is used by
the greater number Of players be-
cause it gives rhythm to your
swing and the circular motion en-
ables the player to generate mo-
mentum which in turn enables
him to hit the ball harder.
The circular swing is made by
holding the racquet out in front

Vital Things To, Remember

the actual impact, and the follow

makes for an even wen-hit shot.
If you wish to put top spin on

turning your racquet forward so
that you come over the top Of the
ball slightly.
Develop your forehand drive

Ban
Snubbed By
Illinois BODY

CHICAGO, June 4.-The Hi
nois Boxing Commission today
was on record as refusing to recog-
nize the suspension of James j.
Braddock, heavyweight champion,
by the New York ring board.
Braddock was suspended, fined
$1,000 and his $1,000 appearance
forfeit for a bout with Max
Schmeling confiscated yesterday
by the New York Commission.
Chairman Joseph Triner Of the
Illinois group said:
1--WE will not recognize the
suspension of BraddOck, and the
New York Commissions action
will not interfere with the fight
between BraddOck and Joe Louis
at COmiskey Park, June ~, so
far as our commission is con-
cerned."
The Illinois Commission has a
working agreement with the New
York, California and Missouri
Commissions to enforce fines and
suspensions, and Timers action
is taken to mean a collapse OF
that pact.

Washington has just
recently escaped a la
Dor dispute which had
nothing to do with the
A. F. of L., or the G. I.
o., either, but which
doomed black on the
horizon here for
months.
While there was no
throwing of bombs or
calling of the riot
squad, there was at
least one indignation
meeting, and I pro-
pose to tell you all
about it.
This labor dispute arose within
the ring racket in Washington.

verge thereof, but that our reTerees
were approaching that stage OF
unrest wherein a walk-out might
have been necessary in order to
gain their demands.
The tip-off comes in an UMPIRE
tentious communique from the
District of Columbia Boxing Com
mission, couched in these terms:
"The commission voted to
boost the referees fee to mini
mum Of $25 per show ($5 higher
than Baltimore or RichmOnd)
and to continue to allow the
referee to split the shows be-
tween two referees. In the latter
case the preliminary referee
receives S12.5O and the main
event referee receives 10 per
cent of the Boxing Commissions
5 per cent with a maximum Of
$50 and a minimum of $12.5O,
the commission also being en-
powered to raise the maximum
fee"
One might almost assume from
that ukase that the act was volun-
tary on the part of the big brows
of boxing, but I learn that such
is not precisely the truth.
Hand Was Forced
They boosted the referees cut
from all fights after receiving a
resolution in which the local arbi-
tiers joined after caucassing some
time back and converting their
grievances into written form,
copies of which were forwarded
to the ring rulers.
The custom heretofore, except
in the cases of outstanding shows
like the one held at Griffith
Stadium Wednesday night, has
been to split up $40 among two
referees, one of whom handled the
preliminaries and the other the
Semi-wind.up and the main bout.

Except for such minor details as
washing the windows in his Office,
everything is ready for Justice Hugo
L. Blacks debut in the Supreme Court
on Monday.
Nationwide interest has developed
over his seating because of allegations
that he Is a member Of the Ku Klux

Name plates reading "Mr. Justice
Black"-in ebony letters on bronze
already have been screwed to a mas
sive oaken door and anchored to the

Chair Is Selected.
Because nothing has been heard
from him about what kind of chair he
wants, the court has picked one-a
stoutly upholstered unswiveled affair.
Similar models are being used this
year by Chief Justice Hughes and
Justices Sutherland, Brandeis and
Cardozo The others have styles of
their own selection.
Court attaches made it plain,
however, that should Justice Black
ask for another chair or bring in
one of his own, they will make the
substitution overnight.
The newest member Of the court
Is scheduled to arrive tomorrow at
Norfolk, Va, after European vaca-
ton.
Thus far. he has maintained strict
silence on the Klan allegations. Some
observers thought he might continue
that policy in the belief the furore
soon will die down. Others were of
the opinion that, after communicate
ing with President Roosevelt, he would
issue a statement.
Roosevelt in West.
Mr. Roosevelt is on the West Coast
and will not return to Washington
until after the Supreme Court meets
Monday. He and Black, however,
might discuss the situation by tele-
phone.
Many lawyers expressed the belief
the new justice might go ahead with
his Supreme Court duties before get
ting in touch with the man who ap-
pointed him to the tribunal.
A petition challenging Blacks right
to seat on constitutional grounds has
been filed by Albert Levitt, former
Federal judge in the Virgin Islands.
Under normal procedure no action
will be taken on it until October IL.
Four Of the nine justices already
have returned for the opening Of the
Fall term. They are Chief Justice
Hughes and Justices Brandeis. Suth-
erland and Butler.
Justices Cardozo and Stone are
expected shortly from their Summer
homes at White Plains, N. Y, and
Isle Au Haut, Me, respectively. JUS
tice McReynolds will return in a few
days from Europe, and Justice Roberts
Is expected next Monday from his
farm near Philadelphia.
All the justices chairs aside from
Chief Justice Hughes have been re-
shuf1ed according to seniority because
Of the retirement Of Justice Van De-
