INSURANCE ACT
MAY BE UPUEED
Supreme Court Expected to
Act Favorably in Alabama
Jobless Case.
Sr the Associated Press.
Questions asked by Justice Stone
during arguments before the Supreme
Court on the Alabama unemployment
insurance act indicated yesterday the
legislation may be upheld by a 5-to-4
vote.
Already, the Supreme Court by a
4-to-4 vote, with Stone absent be
cause of illness, has upheld a similar
New York statute. The New York
law taxed only employers, however,
while the Alabama legislation im
poses the tax on both employers and
employes.
Questioned by Stone.
In the argument in the Alabama
ease Justice Stone put his questions
while Borden Burr, Montgomery attor
ney, was contending that the Federal
and State legislation constituted "sur
render of State sovereignty and usur
pation of Federal control.”
“Every State is put in a strait
jacket and compelled to submit to
National control,” Burr asserted.
"Has the State assented to this
program?" Stone inquired.
"Yes. How can it fail to assent?"
Burr responded.
He referred to the provision of the
Federal act that 90 per cent of the
amount collected in Federal unem
ployment taxes be refufided to States
which adopt unemployment insurance
approved by the Federal Social Secur
ity Board
"Can you raise the question whether
the State has been encroached upon,
If it has consented?” Stone asked.
“Coercion” Charged,
The attorney repeated that there
had been "coercion" on the State.
When Burr contended the legisla
tion took property without due process
of law, by requiring employers to place
pnoney in a pool for the benefit of
jothers, the justice inquired if such a
provision “made a school tax bad.”
pie added:
"Under such an interpretation,
bachelors couldn't be called upon to
pay a school tax.”
"Not if it went into a pool," Burr re
plied.
A. A. Carmichael. Alabama attorney
general defending the legislation, de
voted his time before the court to a
history of the litigation. Other State
officials will defend the act today.
