THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAK, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1921 SUPREME JUSTICES UPHOLD BURLESON Majority of Court, Holds Acted Within Rights. He BERGER'S PAPER IS ISSUE "Withdrawal of Mailing Privileges, Su&talned in tower Court, Again Approved. WASHINGTON. t. C. March 7. Authority of former Postmaster-General Burleson to withdraw second- clasa mail privileges from any pub lication which violated the espionage act through printing articles "tending to create insubordination or disloy alty" in the military or naval forces was upheld today by the supreme court. Associate Justices Brandies and Holmes dissented. The court sustained the supreme court of the District of Columbia in refusing to issue a mandamus order compelling restoration of the privileges to the Milwaukee Leader, of which Victor Bereer was editor. The Leader in its appeal was joined by the New York Call. "Whatever injuries the relator suf fered was the result of its own choire," declared Associate Justice Clark, who, in reading the majority opinion, recited excerpts from the newspapers as submitted by the gov ernment. "These articles were not dosisrned to secure a modification or repeal of the laws they criticised but were intended to stir up opposition to them and internal strife." Withdrawal Right Maintained. Authority to grant the classified DrivileKes. the juBtice held, carried with it authority to withdraw them. Ho declared it an impossibility for the postal authorities attempting to scan each issue of a newspaper sud mitted to the mails to determine whether it violated the law. as sup porting the poxtmaser in making his order cover "the indefinite future." The criticism that the "due proc ess" clause of the constitution was violated was declared unsupported in view of the hearing held by Mr. Burleson. Associate Justice Brandeis took issue with the majority upon prac tically every point. Justice Holmes "concurred in substance" in Mr. Bran deis' opinion. It was inconceivable. Justice Bran deis said, that congress intended to confer on the postmaster-general authority which amounts practically to an absolute censorship over the press and he recalled an attempt to give such authority had been de feated in congress. 1 Authority Held l"urped. "The postmaster-general concedes in his brief." he continued, "that con eress did not confer the vague and absolute authority practically to deny circulation to any publication wnicn in his opinion is likely to violate any postal law. I cannot believe that in establishing postal classification in JS7S congress intended to confer on the postmaster-general authority to issue the order complained or. "If under the constitution adminis trative officers may as a mere inci dent of the peace time administration of their departments be vested with the power to issue such orders as this, there is little of substance in our bill of rights and in every extending gov ernmental function lurks a new dan ger to civil liberties." commander of the Grand Army of the Republic for Oregon, died at his home here last night after an Illness of several weeks.
