BY JOHN ii. CLINE.

The authority of the Securities Com
mission to subpoena kilograms of
concerns under investigation was. i'll
effect, upheld today by the Supreme
Court
The justices refused to review
lower court decision asserting the
rights of the commission to take such
action.
In another important case the JUS
tees refused to review lower court
ruling unfolding the action Of the
National Labor Relations Board in
ordering the Jeffery-Dewitt Insulator
Co. of West Virginia to re-employ
several workers who lost their jobs
following a labor dispute.
OF outstanding importance in the
labor case was the ruling. now APP
proved, that strikers do not lose their
status as employees ana that the re-
fusal of an employer to negotiate with
his workers is an unfair labor practice
despite the failure of previous negotia-
tons.
The Securities Commission case had
been followed with interest by persons
anxious to see whether Associate JUS
tice Black, who was involved in
somewhat similar controversy while
in the Senate, would participate in
the decision There was no official
statement on this point. An an
nouncement ordinarily is made when
justices for any reason disquallfy
themselves from passing on litigation.
Firms Attack Authority.
The authority of the commission to
subpoena the kilograms was attacked
by the Ryan Florida Corp. of Tampa,
the Income Royalties Co. of st.
Petersburg and the Florida Tex Oil
Co. of st. Petersburg.
The concerns contended that the
commission, in subpoenaing their tele-
grams, merely was conducting an ex-
ploratory search for evidence.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals,
whose opinion was upheld by the Su-
prene Court, affirmed the right Of the
commission to require the production
of kilograms sent and received by
persons suspected of obtaining money
and property by means OF false and
fraudulent representations in connec-
ton with the issuance. offer and sale
in interstate commerce of fraudulent
securities.
Jeffrey Dewitt Dispute.
The Jeffery-Dewitt case involved
dispute between that concern and
number of its employees who were
members of a union affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
The union called a strike in an I'M
successful effort to compel the en-
ployer to meet certain demands, and
then sought the aid of the Labor Re-
lations Board.
After hearing, that body held that
the company had violated the labor
act by refusing to bargain collectively
with the union a month after the strike
began. The board ordered the COM
pany to bargain collectively with the
union and to offer employment to those
who went on strike and who had not
been re-employed. This order was
affirmed by the Circuit Court of APP
peals in the decision the Supreme
Court refused to set aside today.
The court did not announce any &C
ton in a Philadelphia case involving
the legality of Sit-down strikes, nor
did it rule on another appeal in the
celebrated Scottsboro case. The JUS
tices will hear argument until Monday
and then recess for two weeks.

LAG is PREDICTED
IN FARM DEMAND
U. S. Experts Forecast Business
Slack Will Be Reflected in
Consumers Incomes.

BY the Associated Press
Government economists. for the first
time in more than year, today FORE
cast lag in domestic consumer de-
mand for farm products.
They said the general downward
trend in business and industry of re-
cent weeks would be reflected ito
some extent in consumer incomes be-
fore the end of the year."
The forecast came from the Bureau
If Agricultural Economics after broad
survey of Government and private
data. 1t said recent declines in prices
of stocks and commodities revealed a
general spirit of hesitation on the
part of business"
Last Winter and Spring" the econ
omists said, pronounced business OPP
timism led to much advance buying
and many price increases of spec
ulative nature"
This squirt carried along early this
year, they said, as many important in
dustries operated on untitled orders
"at q rate considerably in excess of
current sales"

ESTIMATE
|SDUE TOMORROW
Nation Waits Its Possible
Effect on Congress and
1888 Elections.
b the Associated Press.

Do tHt ASSoSidtcu Iicos.
The administration will make It's
third guess this week. possibly tomor-
row. at the size of the 1888 Treasury
deficit.
The figure will be received with in
tense interest in political and financial
circles.
Politicians are interested chiefly in
the possible effect on the next sessions
of Congress and the 1888 congressional
elections. Financial men will watch
for its effect on the markets.
The administration already has
guessed at the figure twice with vary
fng results. Tomorrow's estimate will
be contained in the annual budget re-
vision which will give the first broad
picture of the Treasury condition since
Spring.
First Figure Revised.
President Roosevelt estimated last
January the budget for this fiscal year
could be held in balance if relief ex-
penditures did not exceed S1,500,o00,-
000
Failure of revenue to reach the esti-
mated level required a revision, how
ever, when the President submitted
his relief estimate of $500, 100000 in
April.
At that time he forecast probable
deficit of s418,000, 000-about equal to
the unexpected loss of revenue-but
promised to try to eliminate it by
cutting expenditures and liquidating
assets Of emergency agencies.
Then his estimates for the year
were: Receipts s6.9O6, 100000; ex-
penditures, s7,324.000,00
Brighter Picture.
So many factors have changed that
observers were reluctant to predict
what tomorrow's revision would show.
1t was apparent, however, the picture
would be much brighter than it was
a year ago.
About this time in 1886 the revised
budget estimated a deficit of $685.
100000 for the last fiscal year. Be-
cause an additional relief appropri-
alton was found necessary and be-
cause of the drop in expected revenue
the year ended with a deficit of
s2,811, 100000.
This year, with no veterans bonus
appropriation and with lower relief
costs, the estimated deficit is expected
to be only fraction Of that figure.
Should the report tomorrow estimate
a bigger deficit than has been gen.
orally accepted there would be new
demands for increased taxes and cur
tailed spending at the coming ses-
sions of Congress. Also observers said
it might prove politically embarrassing
to the President, who talked repeatedly
during his Western trip of the better
financial outlook and said confidently
the budget would be balanced next
year.
30 Per Cent Higher.
The outlook depends chiefly on rev.
enue estimates. The last estimate of
Sc, 906, 100000 was about 80 per cent
higher than last year. So far, Treas
ury income has been running more
than 40 per cent higher.
II this increase carried through the
year, it would bring s500,000,0o0 more
into the Treasury than estimated last
April and would more than wipe out
the deficit estimated at that time.
