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.
