THE LABOR ACT DECISION

In the midst of the greatest controversy which ever has centered around the Supreme Court that body has handed down of it's most momentouS declSlons IL has upheld in five cases the constutonay of the Ma tonal Labor Relations Act, commonly known as the Wagner Act guaranteeing the right of collective bar gaining and the right of any person to join a labor union
 Often called by modern labor leaders the Magma Charta of American labor the Wagner Act now be- comes the Magma Charta in fact In few words, the Supreme Court has put it's stamp of approval on labor unions we know them. It has upheld the right of and to organize themselves into groups and through such groups bargain with their employers, thus obtaining better wages and working conditions for the whole group rather than each individually seeking better lot in life An Act already endorsed by the ma jority of the people of the nation through their repre- sentatives Congress, who wrote the laW stands as living to the nations long efforts to tablish and maintain what through the years have referred to as the American standard of living.
 While there is bound to be apprehension in some sources the farreachng effects of the Labor Act, that feeling should soon be dissipaed djust selves broader version of human rights which, af all should be paramount for if not better our lot as human beings haven't gone very far on the road of civilization.
 Probably the most immediate result of the recent decision by highest tribunal will be the settlement of labor differences which have been sweeping the land The sit-down strikes in virtually all have been caused by refusal to bargain with this group that In the automobile Industry, for example, Chrysler, General Motors and others concerned refused to recog nize what the employees held was the prevailing group of employees. Ford has gone record to the conclusion although there has been no outward trouble in his plants thus far Now under the Courts decision these employers must bargain and the employees carry their negotiations provided for under the law.
 It would appear to the end of sit-down strikes where obvious the law has been violated. Now with the decision of the court before them there should be question about both sides reaching agreeable settle ment, and according to law which both sides must live up to-

State Laws Boost Living
Cost

The Supreme Court of the. United
States, as justices have often point.
ed out, does not approve or condemn
any legislative policy. II does not de-
eide or consider the wisdom of con-
tested laws. 1t deals only with the
question of whether or not a disput-
ed law passed by government is in
accord or discord with the Consti-
/ tuition.
This should be remembered In
considering Supreme Court decis-
Ions such as the one holding tie
Louisiana Chain Store tax constitu-
tional.
The Louisiana act follows similar
acts passed by other states. in levy
ing a progressive tax against chains.
based on the number of operating
retail outlets. 1t goes farther than
most, In that 1t considers the NUM-
ber of stores a chain operates in
other states as we'll as In Louisiana.
For example. If chain system has
thousand stores outside Louisiana
and 20 stores within. it is taxed on
a basis of 1920 stores.
Beyond question. anti-chain store
laws boost the cost of livfng-espe-
cially in the food field. where chains
have the largest number of outlets.
The heaty taxes levied against
chain under the progressive tax plan
must be passed on to the consumer.
II it turns out. as some believe.
that such laws will force chains to
go out Of business in unfriendiy
states. the whole state will suffer.
Men, and women will be thrown out
of work. Property will be vacated.
Milford chronicle., 1937-06-11

Normal taxes as well as special
taxes will be lost to the state. Pur-
chasing power will be reduced and
the consumer will pay higher prices.
And, In return, what benefits will
accrue? IL is argued that chains
menace the independent merchant.
This; like so many other false ru-
mors, dies hard. The United States
Department of Commerce has re-
Gently issued figures showing that
independent stores have been in
creasing In number during late
years. and have also increased their
proportion OF all retail business
done. Chain stores have been doing
a smaller proportion OF the business
and have increased in number to a
lesser extent than have independ-
ents. Those are facts.
