HI PROPOSALS
FLAYED. DEFENDED
Burke and Jackson Debate.
La Follette and Black
Talk in Gotham.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25.—In two
public forums here last night the
President's proposals to alter the per
sonnel of the United States Supreme
Court were alternately attacked and
defended.
The Economic Club of New York
celebarted its thirtieth anniversary
listening to Senator Edward R. Burke,
Democrat, of Nebraska and Robert
R. Jackson, Assistant United States
Attorney General, debate the issue.
At Carnegie Hall the American
Labor party mustered its trade union
followers to a meeting addressed by
Jackson and two Senators, Robert
La Follette of Wisconsin and Hugo
M, Black of Alabama—all favorable
to the changes.
Paul D. Cravath, president of the
Metropolitan Opera Association and
director of financial and industrial
companies, presided at the Economic
Club dinner, where Winthrop Aldrich,
head of the Chase Bank, and Ogden
L, Mills. Treasury Secretary in the
Hoover cabinet, w'ere honored guests.
They heard Senator Burke assail
the proposal as “the most flagrant
example in American history of an
attempt to strip the people of the
right to say what powers they want
to vest in their Congress and in their
President.”
Urges Decision by People.
Burke proposed that the people be
given a chance to pass on the ques
tion of whether “there is to be a
new and undreamed-of concentra
tion of authority at Washington, so
that Congress and the President may
be free to direct the lives of 130 mil
lion people w’ithout check or restraint
Cf any kind.”
He argued that Congress has “al
most unlimited power” to approach
& solution of the Nation’s problems
"in a national way” and urged:
"If there be such matters as regula
tion of minimum wages, hours of
labor and similar subjects, which the
framers of the Constitution clearly did
not intend to vest in the Federal
Government, and if the people .now
desire to place that power in Congress,
then let the people speak. Let us
not attempt to amend the Constitu
tion without action by the people."
Jackson, defending the proposals,
told the Economic Club:
“The courts have lately been closing
the ways to political compromise of
basic problems arising out of the de
pression and out of troubled industrial
relations. The President is seeking,
in his policy and in his court proposal,
to open the highway to economic and
eoc.al peace. The closed road may
mean a rough detour.”
Addresses Conservatives.
In advocating the President’s legis
lation, Jackson told the club members
that he addressed them as conserva
tives “who will probably disagree with
most that I say.”
He invited conservatives to consider
“whether their own interests have not
been injured by the over zeal of the
Supreme Court in times past and
whether far-sighted conservatism does
Cot require some reform within the
present Constitution.”
He said time would make traditional
a retirement age of 70 in the courts
which would be "as free from personal
implications as the present tradition
of presidential retirement after two
terms.”
To the trade unionists of the Amer
ican Labor Party, who flocked to the
President’s banner in its first test of
political strength last November, Sen
ator La Follette asserted that industry
was carrying on a “huge sit-down
strike against American labor and the
rights guaranteed to workers by the
Federal Government.”
Employers, he said, were refusing to
bargain collectively with their em
ployes on the theory that the Supreme
Court will invalidate the Wagner
labor relations act,
In the labor strife “sweeping across
the country,” he declared ”we are
reaping the whirlwind of violence and
resentment against the lawlessness of
employers who look to the Supreme
Court to override the law enacted by
Congress."
In an interview prior to the mass
meeting he said that Chief Justice
Charles E. Hughes, in his letter to the
Senate Judiciary Committee Monday,
“did not answer any questions I re
gard as important.”
La Follette said the President’s
measure will be adopted “without
question: it is an urgent matter.”
Senator Black said at the Inter
view, in response to a repotrer’s ques
tion, that “the sit-down strike is a
matter of local law; there is no Fed
eral statute on it.”
Elinore M. Herrick, regional director
of the National Labor Relations Board
and chairman of the American Labor
party’s Public Affairs Committee, pre
sided at the Carnegie Hall mass
meeting.
Among other speakers mustered for
the rally were Luigi Antonini, first vice
president of the International Ladies’
Garment Workers’ Union, who is State
chairman of the Labor party, and
Walter Brower, special assistant to the
United States Attorney General.
Fears Labor Movement Set-Back.
Said Brower: “If the forces of re
action should succeed in defeating the
campaign for reform of the Supreme
Court, it means not only the loss of
this one battle by the working people
of America, not only the loss of just
one battle to the President of this Na
tion, but also that the forward march
of the labor movement will have been
brought to a complete standstill; the
prestige of the President of the United
States will be gone; the next four
years will bring just a series of further
disappointments and defeats. • •

able vote in Congress on the pro
posals.
Senator Black devoted the major
portion of his address to a comparison
of the present court controversy and
differences of Presidents Thomas Jef
ferson and Andrew Jackson with the
court in their day.
Senator Black was the final speaker
at the meeting, at which he and Sen
ator La Follette were presented with
a petition Strebel said contained the
names of 25,000 persons in New York
favorable to the proposed court
changes.
Former Secretary of Treasury Og
den Mills, a guest of honor at the
Economic Club dinner, praised the
service of the organization as an
open forum and commented that:
“The currency system of the United
States, to which we devoted an eve
ning in 1908, is still a painfully
pertinent topic. In fact, I might even
go so far as to say it is more pain
fully pertinent now than ever before
in the history of the country."
He did not enlarge on the remark.
TEXAS RENEWS FIGHT
FOR GREEN MILLIONS
State Officials Claim Railroad
Magnate Was Resident and
Fortune Is Taxable.
By the Assoclatec Press.
DALLAS, March 25.—A battle over
millions—between $50,000,000 and
$80,000,000—left by Edward H. R.
Green, railroad magnate, shifted from
New York to Texas today.
Col. Green spent much of his time
In Texas during the years he was
adding to the fortune he received
from his mother, Hetty Green. Texas
officials claimed he thus established
residence and made his estate taxable
In this State.
The legal tilt drew the personal
attention of the Texas attorney gen
eral, William McCraw, to the hearing
before Raymond C. Prime, Lake Placid,
N. Y„ lawyer appointed as special
commissioner in the case.
Its purpose was to develop deposi
tions which New York Surrogate
Harry E. Owen ordered returned to
him before May l.
Mrs. Mabel H. Green, widow of
the railroad magnate, contended she
signed a pre-nuptial agreement be
lieving It was a life allowance of “pin
money”—$1,500 monthly—and that
she did not know she was signing
away rights to her husbands vast
properties.
95,000 Shows in World.
There are now 95,000 motion pic
ture theaters in the world, an in
crease of about 8,000 to the last
year. Soviet Russia accounted for
4,290 of this Increase.
