IN LAUNDRY STRIKE
Police Rout Pickets at Little
Falls, N. J., Victims In
cluding Dozen Girls.
By the Associated Press.
LITTLE FALLS, N. J„ June 2.—
Fifteen persons were injured today
in an extended clash between police
and several hundred pickets at the
Little Falls Laundry Co., with the
pickets finally falling back before
successive barrages of tear gas and
flying police sticks.
For nearly an hour the fight raged
after the pickets had attempted to
prevent workers from entering the
laundry plant, which closed down
twice recently because of a strike.
Three women, cut when a stone
smashed the windshield of their car,
were taken to Paterson General Hos
pital, and the laundry company said
a dozen girls were treated for in
juries in the plant hospital.

Wage-Hour
(Continued From First Page.»
Emphasizing that the present measure
does not contain the “voluntary" fea
tures of N. R. A. code making, Jack
son declared he saw "no parallel with
the N. R. A."
Denies ‘‘Employers' Whims.’’
“This is distinctly an effort to take
into control of the Nation the stand
ards of interstate commerce and not
to leave them to whims of any group
of employers," he added.
Senator Black, Democrat, of Ala
bama, and Representative Connery,
Democrat, of Massachusetts, sponsors
of the legislation, immediately sup
ported the contention of the witness.
Armed with a carefully prepared
analysis of the bill and legal prece
dents on which its defense will be
based, if necessary, Jackson disclosed
that six differing judicial theories of
commerce power are written into the
present administration draft in hope
of avoiding any sweeping invalidation
of the legislation.
Streaking optimistically of a flash of
j liberalism “that illuminates a judicial
I record otherwise pretty black for labor,
we may reasonably hope that after
being balked a score of years, Con
gress will now be sustained in adding
to the list of interstate contraband
what Mr. Justice Holmes so aptly
called 'the product of ruined lives,' and
in establishing commerce among the
State on the basis of industrial justice
' to disadvantaged men." Jackson said.
Jackson Only Witness.
Jackson was the only witness today
as Dr. Claudius T. Murchison, head
of the Cotton Textile Institute, was
forced to delay his appearance.
Swinging into his detailed defense
of Congress’ power to legislate on
working standards, Jackson quoted
Chief Justice Hughes in the case of
Kentucky Whip Co. vs. Illinois Cen
tral. as follows:
“The Congress in exercising the
powers confided to it by the Con
stitution is as free as the States to
recognize the fundamental interests
of free labor.”
“The power confided to Congress,
which this bill proposes to exercise
and in exercising to recognize the
fundamental interests of free labor,
is the expressly given power to regu
late commerce among the several
States,” Jackson continued.
“The Supreme Court has upheld
I various types of regulation of inter
! state commerce upon several distinct
constitutional theories. The attempt
is to consolidate in a single bill all
hopeful approaches to constitution- '
ality, each complete in itself, so that '
if one or more falls at the hands
of the court we will not be left for
an interval while a new bill is be
ing adopted. The result is that there
in some overlapping in its provisions,
but no inconsistency in the opera
tion or its objectives.
umereni juaiciai tneories oi tne
commerce power which this bill in
vokes may be classified as follows:
“1. There is the power directly to
regulate or prohibit movement across
States lines of goods deemed for any
reason to offend against sound na
tional policy. This power has been
applied in many cases and denied in
but one—the famous child labor case
to be discussed later. This bill in
vokes that power to regulate and
prohibit by directly forbidding trans
portation of the products of the labor
of children under 16 years of age,
which ought not to be accepted in
any fair market, and products made
under conditions where workers are
denied the right of self-organization
by fear of labor spies, and where
their right to strike and to enforce
collective bargaining is rendered in
effective by the use of professional
strikebreakers. Such use of espionage
and of professional strikebreakers is
both a provocation of violence and
an excuse for it, and offends against
our national policy.
"2. Congress has the power to regu
late competition in interstate com
merce. It has exercised this power
without question since the adoption of
the Sherman anti-trust act in 1890
and again through the Clayton act
and the Federal Trade Commission
act.
“3. The power to regulate com
merce includes the power to eliminate
labor conditions which lead to labor
disputes which will directly burden or
obstruct commerce. (National Labor
Relations Board vs. Jones & Laugh
lin.) This power is invoked in elimi
nating excessive hours, inedaquate pay
and child labor in so far as they tend
to provoke such labor disputes.
“4, The power to regulate commerce
is held to include the power to pro
hibit transportation of goods Into
States in violation of the laws of such
States and making interstate goods
subject to such State laws. This doc
trine is supported by the decisions in
volving prison-made goods.
“This bill invokes the constitutional
power by prohibiting consignment of
goods into a State if produced under
conditions that would have been un
lawful within that State.
Interstate Commerce Ruling.
“5. The power to regulate commerce
has been held to include power to
eliminate a condition which affects
the movement of goods, the price of
goods or which causes undue price
fluctuations in interstate commerce.

This doctrine is set forth in the cases
relating to the regulations of stock
yards and grain exchanges.
"This bill invokes this power by
eliminating from interstate commerce
goods produced by sub-standard labor
conditions which affect interstate
commerce in the manner stated.
"6. The power to regulate Interstate
commerce has been held to include
the power to regulate conduct in
tended to divert or substantially affect
the movement of goods in Interstate
commerce. This is the doctrine of
the Coronado Coal case. This bill
invokes such power to regulate such
sub-standard labor practices as are
found to be the result of an Intention
to divert the movement of goods in
Interstate commerce.
"It will be observed that these
theories of the interstate commerce
power, as laid down by the court, are
complicated and overlapping and that
some could be directly and automati
cally applied while others could be
applied only where circumstances
were found to warrant. It was, there
fore, inevitable that any bill which
tried to use these available weapons
to fortify itself against the constitu
tional attack which labor and com
merce legislation always faces, should
to a considerable extent sacrifice sim
plicity. For neither the subject mat
ter of the bill nor the legal theories
underlying it ran with practical safety
be reduced to any one simple formula.
But the bill is believed not to be con
flicting within itself or self-defeating."
Powers of National Board.
In an effort to justify the proposed
wide discretionary powers tested in
the Labor Standards Board, Jackson
cited the "geographical and industrial
diversities" mentioned by President
Roosevelt in his message preceding
introduction of the bill.
"This bill does not plunge the Na
tion headlong into a rigid and wide
spread policy of regulating wages and
hours,” Jackson continued. "It per
mits the building up a body of experi
ence and prevents the extension of
regulation faster than capacity prop
erly to administer 1s acquired."
Turning to the child labor pro
vision. Jackson said:
"A commerce clause broad enough 1
to protect the children of the rich
from kidnaping would seem not to be
abused if it should also protect the
children of the poor from exploita
tion."
With biting sarrasm, the young
Assistant Attorney General next at
tacked the existing barrier to regula
tion of child labor.
"The power of Congress to enact
the bill is clear,” he said, "under the
decisions, both old and recent, except
for the denial by the Supreme Court
in the child labor rase of the most
simple and clear of all these the
ories. • » *
“Perversion of Constitution.”
"We owe it to our times to chal
lenge the perversion of our Constitu
tion injected into our law by the child
labor decision. This bill would chal
lenge it. We should give the courts a
chance to remove this blemish from
our judicial history.”
Then referring to the minimum
wage rase, he said:
"In face of the willingness of the
Supreme Court to decline to let obso
lete precedent limit the exercise of its
own reason. Congress may with pro
priety decline to let such derisions stall
legislative reason. Had not the legis
lators persisted in assailing the mini
mum wage cases, their inaction and
acquiescence would have prevented the
court from amending its doctrine.
Nothing but a challenge to the child
labor derision will enable the court,
even if it so minded, to correct the
old decision, now without support in
scholarship, reason or enlightened
public sentiment ”
Turning next to the issue of State's
rights. Jackson reviewed the willing
ness of the States to surrender import
regulation responsibility to the Fed
eral Government.
Closing presentation of his prepared
statement. Jackson reminded the com
mittee that "there Is nothing whatever
in the Constitution that forbids Con
gress to make a delegation of its
power. The prohibition is purely
judge-made, not Constitution-made."

I’m no big company myself, just because
I sell a good big company’s oil, etc. This
business is mine, and their oil has to show
my customers a heap longer mileage and
cool smooth operation, or I wouldn’t make
near as safe a living, that’s all. I’d rather
have my good steady trade on Conoco Germ
Processed oil, than just getting people to
change here once, and always be worried
about new ones showing up. A lot of my
steadiest trade comes from clearout around,
because nothing but my Germ Processed
oil will Oil-Plate their engines. You see, ‘
the patent Germ Process gets this oil to
form a strong slippy Plating on every work
ing surface. Not only an oil-film that goes
on and off, but a really-truly Oil-Plating
too ; ; : entirely extra! Mind you, Oil
Plating can’t shift around—can’t drain
down while your car is parked. So it can’t
let your engine start up “dry,” which en
gineers say is the greatest danger, even in
Summer. And the way it’s Plated on,
Conoco Germ Processed oil simply isn’t
using up in a hurry. Then that’s getting
more mileage out of both your oil and en
gine—coming here to me for Oil-Plating.
