LABOR BILLS SEEN
30-Hour and Wagner Meas
ures Believed Blocked
by Court.
. The viewpoint ot the National
Association of Manufacturers in on
analysis of the three history-mak
•ng decisions handed down this
week by the Supreme Court, and
their probable effect on pending
legislation, is set forth here by the
association's chief counsel.
BV JAMES A. EMERV.
NEW YORK. May 30 iN.A.N.A.'i
3'he Supreme Court has spoken. In
three unanimous opinions, that tri
bunal was called upon to determine
tn three Instances whether temporary
•cts of the Executive and the Con
gress were in conformity with the
Permanent will of the people, as
expressed in their Constitution.
Tt should not be forgotten that in
the execution of this duty the court
is the people's court as much as the
Congress is the people’s Congress or
the President is the people's Executive.
The people granted to each of their
•gents specific powers, restricted by
specific prohibitions upon their exer
cise, and reserved to themselves and
'he States powers which they did not
grant to theii agents. The sole duty
of the judiciary, when the issue is
presented, is to determine, in the pro
'ection of liberty and property,
whether a prohibition established by
rhe people in their Constitution has
been violated. Whether the policy
established by any executive or legis
lative act is good or bad, wise or
unwise, is never the court's business.
Wanted Own Appointee.
In ihe Humphrey ease, the President
had removed from office a member of
the Federal Trade Commisison, under
• n act of Congress which authorized
mich removal for "inefficiency, neglect
of duty or malfeasance in office ” The
President had asked for Mr. Hum
phrey’s resignation, not for a ny one of
these reasons but because he believed
the purposes of the administration in
the work of the commission “can be
carried out most effectively with per
sonnel of my own choosing.” The
ouestion was whether Congress may
so limit the power of the Preisdent to
remove a commissioner, and, if it can.
whether such restriction is valid under
the Constitution. A unanimous Court
answered both questions in the affirm
ative.
The second case presemed ihe is
sue of whether a subsection of section
75 of the bankruptcy act. added by
the Frazier-Lemke act of June 78.
1934, violated the fifth amendment, by
taking private property without iust
compensation. A farmer named Rad
ford had mortgaged for S9.000 rn rpe
Louisville Joint Stock Land Ban* a
farm appraised at $18,000. Tn subse
quent years he defaulted on install
ments of interest, principal, taxes and
his agreement to insure the buildings.
The Supreme Court held that the Fra
ner-Lemke act took rights in rhe spe
cific case from the bank without com
pensation and arbitrarily gave them
•o Radford. This, it said, was a plain
violation of the fifth amendment.
Defense Assailed Code.
In rhe rhird case, that of the
Scheehrer Poultrv Corp. and others,
the individual petitioners had been
convicted on 18 counts of violating the
‘live poultry code"’ and of conspiracy
to do so. The defendants had con
tended that: The poultry code was
adopted pursuant, to an unconstitu
tional delegation of rhe legislative
power of Congress: it was an attempt
to regulate intrastate transactions out- j
aide the congressional authority: some
of its provisions were violative of the
fifth amendment.
The Supreme Court, through Chief
Justice. Hughes, first examined rhe
Government’s insistence that the pow
ers at issue had been granted in an
emergency. The court declared that
' extraordinary conditions do not cre
ate. or enlarge constitutional power.”
The court then examined the Gov
ernment's contention that, the eco
nomic crisis required inteasive co
operative effort from trade and in
dustry. The plan before rhe court,
however, did not imply merplv volun
tary effort, hut "coercive exercise of
the lawmaking power.” for violations
of the codes were crimes.
hewer Held Invalid.
The court- held that there was a
Plainly invalid delegation of legislative
power because neither in rhe policy
declaration of the recovery act nor in
section 3 was there any clear and in
telligible standard to guide ihe Presi
dent or rhe industries in determining
their rules of conduct, but, rather, an
unfettered discretion in the Executive
>o make any rules through the codes
bv his approval which he believed ad
visable for the rehabilitation of in
dustry.
Secondly, Jhe court held that rhe
attempt through the commerce power
to fix the hours and wages of the em
ployes of the defendants in their in
trastate. business, the processing and
“ale of poultry, was not. a valid exercise
of Federal power over commerce.
The court very properlv refused 10
discuss the economic advantages or
disadvantages of a central system of
control. Whatever its value, the Con
stitution does not authorize it. So.
while sustaining in its expression a
wide exercise of the commerce power
over actions and transactions which
are substantially and directly related
to it, the court distinguishes clearly
the definite line which separates such
control from Ihat. over hours, wages
and working conditions in local em
ployment.
I.ahnr OispulM Cited.
The court, very particularly directs
attention to litigation growing out
of labor disputes where it was at
tempted to invoke Federal authority,
because strikes or other combinations,
local in their force or operation,
affected production or trade, but.
nevertheless, were not within the
reach of the commerce power, or in
the particular instances presented,
within the scope of the anti-trust,
arts. Justice Cardozo expresses the
court's conclusion bluntly when he
declares: “I And no authority in that
grant ithe power to regulate com
merce) for the regulation of wages
*nd hours of labor in the intrastate
transactions that make up the de
fendants’ business.”
Probably no group of opinions since
the Civil War is likely to have a
more profound influence upon the
future regulation of our economic
life.
The effect of the Schechter opinion
upon the 30-hour bill and the Wagner
labor disputes bill is as clear in its
implications as though cases arising
under those bills were before the
court. The foundations of the for
mer rest upon an attempt to control
exclusively local operations in pro
duction and employment, flatly re
pulsed by this decision.
Wagner Bill Scuttled.
The Wagner bill rests upon the
proposition that the Federal Govern
ment may control local labor disputes
because they are alleged to "affect” or

What is that, white pile over

lowatd The Northeast.
A stranger near her volunteered an
answer.

sand. With the extensive building
program going on now a great deal of

"Oh!” the woman gasped. Then

Incredible apparition?
For one thing, men move at double
time, even as artillerymen on the fir
ing line. Then there's the system, the
unvarying routine of the years— every
man or thing in the right place at the
proper time.
First the great cook tents come
down, almost before the last roust
about has bolted his last slab of pie
at the evening meal
The menagerie tent is next. The
great canvas cover and the animals
in Their painted chariots are rolling
for the railroad while the night show
still goes on under the main top.
All lesser tents are struck and hus
rled away, and the whole crew is
awaiting the departure of the final
spectators to bring the big top down.
Thus the dawn reveals an empty

a thriving city stood a scant four
hours before.

attempt is made by express definition
in the bill. The Schechter opinion
distinctly rejects and condemns the
relation of such transactions to com
merce and denies any control under
the commerce power over employment
relations wholly local in character.
Finally, the Schechter case makes it
clear that while Congress may not
delegate the power to make a law, it
may make a law to delegate the power
to find some fact or circumstance upon
which the previously established stand
ard. intelligibly made by Congresa is
applied and becomes effective. Thus
“unfair methods of competition’’ as
they are ascertained by administrative
authority under an intelligible stand
ard may be discovered and denounced
and the different industries of the
country may assist the President, un
der a proper delegation of authority,
in ascertaining what they are. because
of their special knowledge of the facts,
and an honorable code of competition
may thus be voluntarily established
and enforced. But the Arbitrary
bureaucratic method of discretionary
control, without standards, ia de

PLATFORMS IN S
N. R. A. Nullification Puts
Scene of Campaign Well
to Right.
RV WILLIAM ALIEN WHITE.
EMPORIA. Kans. May 10 (N.A.
N.A.).—The Supreme Court decision
nullifying President, Roosevelts N. R.
A. has written the platforms of Amer
ican political parties in the campaign
of ’36 Curiously, the plarfonns ere
on the unwound scroll of events.
No one today can even guess what
'he platforms will be. Obviously and
superficially, the court decision lays
the battle ground well to the right.
Apparently the P. es.'dent has been
checked in his steady leftward swing.
Conservative Republicans are hoping.
Conservative Democrats are chortling.
This is their dav to howl.
Middle-ground left-wingers, who
spurn and more or less scorn uosocia
tion with l.ong, Coughlin, Townsend,
Hears!, and Sinclair, are looking for
a landing place. 'Heretofore, this
group, for 20 vears under the leader
ship of Norris, Boiah, the cldet l.a
Kollette, i he ia,e Senator Walsh,
; Bryan in the second decade of his
power, Capper. H.ram Johnson. Ickes,
before Roosevelt annexed him: Sena
tors Nye, McNary and Costigan, have
led in their various Stales dominant
majorities which nave made « gov
erning minority >ti the United Suites
Senate.
Often <wiiii| hledion*.
They have pften swung congres
sional elections, in '32. (.heir fol
lowing piled up the Roosevelt ma
jorities. They have followed him
since '32 dubiously, but. in the main,
have helped hini. Today this group
and its followers ate the X in a
national equation. They are ..edged
about, for the firs', time in a genera
tion bv a more radical group, the
(aJiig-Coughiin ciowd, as Roosevelt is
circumscribed r>v me decision of the
Supreme Court, wntch will tend to
puli him to the right
Bur, however the conservative Re
publicans rejoice and the conservative
Democrats chortle, each of them
knows iliac neither conservative fac
tion can win on its own in the election
of 1936. Certainly, if the Democrats
reject ihe Roosevelt leadership, they
are gone. Certainlv, if the Republi
cans throw over entirely the middle
ground liberal crowd, they are sunk.
Roosevelt, *iih the middle ground
Progressives, could defeat any one who
nas been suggested as a conservative
Republican leader. The President does
not grip his personal following with
•he verve, fill, and glamour that
brought it together three year* ago,
bur. if the multitude has lost, some
faith in him as a miracle worker, the
millions have not lost hope that he is
the only wizard who promises to pull
rabbits out of the hat. He still has
their anention.
Problem lirtiws Serious.
But his problem is beginning to Se
deadly serious. Until the Supreme
Court decision destroyed the R A.
as it. stands, he could easily piitk^ne
’rick after another out of the presti
digitator's plug hat without, revealing
tie ultimate purpose, ht.« final goal.
Possibly no one, not even his smartest
brain trusters, knew exactly where
President Roosevelt is leading Amer
ica. He has promised a gold pot at
the foot of some rainbow. But which
rainbow? What road will he take?
What is his ultimate purpose and
desire? Heretofore, a smile and the
charm of a warm, friendly radio voice
were sufficient answer. He could say:
Trust me. 1 have the courts with
me. We will z.ig-zag to rhe millen
nium. Be nol a train.”
The z.ig-zag davs are over. He must
fish or cut, ball; shoot or give up the
gun; lav bis card? on rhe table or
lose his ante. The rime has come
when he must sav how he is going
•o reach his utopia. What is the curve
of his zig-zag plan*1
His enemies have said from the
start that he has no plan, fhat he is
an opportunist, that the semblance of
action by which he has attracted the
multitude is not movement horizontal
but vertical -mere jumping up and
down, getting nowhere. His friends
have maintained that each bit of leg
islation is part of g jigsaw puzzle and
’hat, when enough pieces are sawed
out some fioe morning, he will fit the
pattern together, call attention lo the
few holes, put in an order for the final
bit.* and reveal his Messianic designs.
Jigsaw Punk Off Board.
Now. the Supreme Court has de
clared in effect that Franklin Roose
velt is not a Messiah, that he must be
circumscribed by the constitutional
limits of the presidency. His jigsaw
puzele is off The board. He must sub
mit blueprints, specifications, ®sti
mates of cost and at least the front
elevation of his ultimate fortification
against injustice.
There will come the test of his
leadership. Good times seem 10 be
returning. He ran no longer hide be
hind emergency legislation. The
Court has not ruled against any par
ticular Rooseveltian goal. The court
is still a liberal court. It will still
protect any President who moves
through the ordinary evolutionary pro
cesses of parliamentary government
to aims and plans far to the left of our
present status.
The court did not deny to President
Roosevelt the validity of his vision.
The court merely declared that it
could not be realized by Houdini
methods, cross-cuts, subterfuges, flim
flam or emergency legislation. Which
means, in plain language, that, the
President must put bis cards on the
table, produce his platform, chart his
course and submit it to the American
people at the nest election.
Faces Loss of Liberal*.
If he does so. he may write both plat
forms. If he hesitates, fumbles, trusts
to his popularity and tries to smile
himself into a millennium, then the
middle course liberals, leaving him,
may chart their own course. They will
not join Townsend, Long, Hearst and
Coughlin, but they may cut loose, form
their own group, with no hope of suc
cess in 193(1; fis their eyes on '40 and
trust to the Republican party to go
the way of the Whigs while the Demo
cratic party again divides itself among
the Tammanies of the great cities and
the Bourbons of the South, with the
Hill-Billies fighting the Bourbons
such a grand mii-up as defeated
Douglas and elected Lincoln.
The N. R. A. decision may be the
Dred Scott decision in the fight for
the new economic liberties.

While he acknowledged that his job

He came from Richmond and filled

POLLS TOGETHER
Common Objectives During
Last Five Years End
“Cut-Throat” Era.
By th# Ai5oci9>e<f Pr«**.
DETROIT, May 30. -Thp motor
car industry, one of the most highly
competitive institutions in the indus
trial world, has become one of the
most closely knit where common ob
jectives are involved, as a result of
development* of the last five years.
Production competition reached its
highest point in the industry in the
| boom year of 1929, when the factories
produced cars and truck* so rapidly
that, dealers were swamped with new
I vehicles from the manufacturers and
,J/'ed cars from customers. Compel i
| fion for business has not eased in the
slightest degree, but it js a comperi
| tion based on actual consumer re
quirements. fn other words, produc
tion currently is under absolute con
trol of the manufacturers with the
distributor on a sounder b»s.is than
at, any time in the history of th*
motor car Industry.
Several Objectives Noted.
The conirol of production is one
of the common objectives” ih»r
brought producers more closely to
gether. So, too, was the closer rela
tionship between manufacturer and
distributor, the solution, in part at
least, of the used car problem was an
other of these objectives, reached
through conjmon action.
While it, was the code of fair com
petition for dealers that brought about
ine fixed allowance on traded-in ve
hicles and eliminated the ‘bargain
ing’ evil from the problems of the
sales division of the industry it seems
•afe to s»v that even had there be«n
no codes, the industry itself would
have brought about a form of conirol
ov«r the acceptance of second-hano
cars as part payment on new vehicle*
that would have been fully as rigid
as the conditions laid down by the N.
R. A. regulations.
There has been some disagreement
witn terms of the dealer code, but in
general the producing division of the
industry has regarded the control of
used car allowances as a really vital
step.
Ford Usually Oi-opetaie*.
For the most part the industry he’
been enabled to make a common at
tack on its problems through the Na
tional Automobile Manufacturers’ As
sociation. and while this association
lacks one maior producer in the ab
sence of the Ford Motor Co. from its
membership, the Ford Co. of late years
has frequently joined in common ac
tion with the association. Oddly
enough, Fords Lincoln Motor Co.
holds a membership in the association.
One place where the co-operation
of the industry's units is conspicuous
by its absence is in the laboratories
where next year’s models and those of
subsequent years are in varying forms
of development. The manufacturers'
association cros’-licenses hundreds of
patents obtained by different members,
vet laboratory application of these
patents always is guarded as zealously
as possible until thev ate ready for in
troduction to the public.
