CREATION OF ZONE
New Commercial Area Here Under

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will defer creation of a CONNER
cial zone here for administration Of
the motor carrier act because some of
the parties to the proceedings have
entered objections, 1t was reported to-
day.
A proposed order Of the commission

The commission today handed down

.JOBLESS, 0LD-AGE
TAXES RULED OUT
U. S. Court in Boston Holds
Security Act Provisions
Unconstitutional.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, April l6.-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals today
ruled unconstitutional both the unem-
ployment insurance tax provision and
the old-age assistance provision of the
social security act.
Two of the three justices held the
provisions illegal.
Both provisions of the act had been
challenged by George P. Davis, q
public utility stockholder.
The court, in ruling the unemploy-
ment insurance tax unconstitutional,
said: THE issue is not what powers
| Congress ought to have to meet con-
ditions as viewed by the executive and
legislative branches of the Govern
ment, but what powers are vested in
Congress under the Constitution. The
Supreme Court, through long series
of opinions, has defined those powers
and the limitations upon them. If
| the years, requires amendments to
meet new conditions, the way is pro-
vided therein"
In ruling the old-age assistance
provision of the act unconstitutional
the tribunal said: THE recent legis-
lation of the so-called national re-
covery act, the agricultural adjustment
act, the Guffey coal act, the railroad
retirement act and the child labor act
all remind us that unless the courts
are continually on guard to preserve
the dual form of our Government as
founded by our forefathers the States
will indeed become mere geographical
subdivisions Of our national domain I"

Veteran traders here said it has
been several years since wheat has lost
value so quickly on such worldwide
proportions.
They attributed the heavy selling

sion in traders ideas as to wheat de-
mand following the slowing up of ex-
port takings by European countries.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-A
threatened strike OF $500 Southern
Pacific employees in two brotherhoods
neared the zero" hour today despite
presidential efforts under Federal law
to avert trouble and declarations Of
active opposition to the walkout by
two other brotherhoods.
C. v. Mclaughlin, vice president of
the Brotherhood of Railway Firemen,
said his group and the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen would strike on
Coast lines unless demands were met
by pm. today.
The strike call would tie up service
from Portland, Greg, to FL Paso, Tex,
Mclaughlin asserted.
Members of an emergency media
ton board, appointed under the rail-
way labor act by President Roosevelt,
planned a meeting here Tuesday.
Spokesmen for the Brotherhoods of
Locomotive Engineers and Conductors
said they would fight the walkout.
Service will be maintained en-
phasized o. P. Peterson, general chair
man of the engineers.
I'VE do not believe strike will
occur, because it would be clearly il
legal now that the President Of the
United States has appointed a Special
Emergency Board to investigate the
dispute" commented A. D. Mcdonald,
president of the carrier.
Mclaughlin charged the railroad
favored the engineers and con-
ductors and refused to abide by media
ton board awards
Our grievance is against the COM
pany and we are not involved in any
controversy with the engineers and the
conductors" he said.
Southern Pacific officials claimed
assurances from Presidents A. F.
Whitney of the trainmen and D. M.
Robertson of the flremen that the
unions would "abide by the railway
labor act" but Mclaughlin said he
had kilograms from both declaring
they had issued no orders to cancel
the strike. The brotherhood presi-
dents are in Cleveland, Ohio.
Mclaughlin said all but 1,50o broth
erhood employees on the 9,C00 miles of
lines involved would be affected.
