Taylor, board chairman of United States Steel corporation; Gerard Swope, board chairman of General Electric corporation; Harper Sibley, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, and government officials. Certain of the Pi cmdents advisers have told him a law requiring the incorporation of labor unions should be passed; or that at least thcie should be a law similar to the British trades union act which provides that all union funds must be accounted for to the government and that unions cannot participate in sympathy or general strikes. Organized labor always has opposed any swell legislation and probably would continue to light ag mist it John L. Lewis thu ks one result of the Wagner act decisions may be the abandonment of the sit down strike, though this, he says, depends on the att. tude taken by employers in tbe operation of the act. Under the court's decision, says Lewis, "workers now have machinery for adjudication of disputes and the making of contracts with employers I'verything depends on the attitude of employers, who showed no to be generous although the right of labor to gather together for its protection had been conceded for a lifetime. the upholding of the HOW does labor relations act af- fect the battle over the Presidents plan to enlarge the Supreme court? That question arose at once on announcement of the decisions and received various answers Opponents of the Presidents bill declared the necessity for such a measure, if it ever existed, was entirtly removed bv this showing of htieiul tendencies by a majority of the court; an many suppmters of Mr Roosevelt admitted that some compromise such ns the appointment of two new justices instead of six, might be advisable. But the President himself let it be known that he wished his program pushed through without The f.ivoiable mamodification. jority of one, created by the shift of Justice Roberts, did not seem to him safe enough. This position of the President was taken also by some of bis cabinet members Secretary of Agriculture Wallace declared that agriculUue could expect nothing from the Supreme court ns now constituted, and urged American farmers to give the Roosevelt plan their earnest support.

This bill is dire-etejust as much against the South as any reconstruction bill passed after the Civil war. The bill was sponsored by Representative Joseph Gavagnn of New York whose district includes the big negro city of Harlem. It provides that any state officer who surrenders a prisoner to a mob shall be guilty of a felony and subject to prosecution and severe penalties In addition, the county in which a lynching occurs shall be liable for $2,100 to $10 000 d images, to be paid to the firmly of the lynched person Proponents of the measure were greatly aided by a mob in Mississippi that took two negroes from a sheriff and tortured and burned them to death.

He declared that: We think it clear that the national labor relations act may be construed so as to operate within the spirit of constitutional authority. Hughes defined the right of employees to self oi ganization and to select their representatives for collective bargaining as a fundamental right Regarding the vital point of the application of the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, Hughes declared The congressional authority to protect interstate commerce from burdens and obstructions is not limited to tians ictu ns which ca i be deemed to be an essential p irt of a T nv' if nteisiate or foreign cummin e Im dens or obstructions may be due to injurious at non sptmging from othir sources In the case of the Associated Piess, concerning the d.snnssal of Moms Watson, a New York editorial en ployee, the court was split. 5 to 4 The majority opinion, read by Justice Robeits, held that the act does not abridge the freedom of speeih or of the press safe guardto the ed bv the first amendment Constitution The court took the view that Watson was dismissed not because his wink was unsatisfactory but because of his activities in the Newspaper Guild, and ordered his reinstatement The three other cases, in each of which the Wagner act was upheld, involved dismissal of 18 emjgoyees bv an interstate bus company; a dispute between the Fruehauf Trailer Company of Detroit.
