NEW LAWS IN BEHALF
OF SPEEDER JUSTICE
PASSED BY CONGRESS
Chairman of House Judiciary
Committee Calls Attention
to Important Enactments,
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
i r i r ; : i i k . . .. ,. . . . I
DeclioB of Stat Courts Holding
Lwi Unconetitntional May Now
Bs Appealed.
Jly Burton K. Htiudif.h.
Washing-ton. Feb. L'O. Many new
laws arc on the statute books today oC
reat importance to Mr. and Mrs. i
Common IVoplf, enacted by the present
oonsTPKS, to which scant attention is
being paid. This Is poined out by
Representative Webb of North Caro
lina, chairman of the house" Judiciary
committee.
. "People dliould be. but arc not. In
terested in legal reform," naid Mr.
"Webb, "and therefore the newspapers
give such matters Meant attention. No
one but lawyers read legal reports and
knowr, as a rule, the real import to the
public of so-called "reform" laws. The
new laws passed by this congress have
escaped popular attention to a large
degree because of this fact."
Mr. Webb points to a number of new
laws of procedures which vitally affect
tlie interests of the mss of Americans.
Some Important Enactments.
One of the newi laws is that prevent
ing dental of justice to a private liti
gant in state courts by permitting iilrn
new avenues of appeal to the federal
courts. This law will prevent him
from being "tli rown out of court" on a
technicality in the state courts, by
splitting of hairs between equity and
law division rules of procedure, and
will' give him a new deal in the fed
eral courts.
- Another new law which, according
to Webb, has largely escaped public
attention as to its importance is that
permitting an appeal to the federal
courts where a state court holds un
constitutional a state law such as
a workman's compensation act. This
law was enacted by congress to meet
a peculiar situation. The New York
supreme court had held void a state
workman's compensation law. A sim
ilar law in New Jersey has been ap
proved by the New Jersey supreme
court.
Neither law was passed upon by the
United States supreme court, but it
was pointed out that a,' peculiar' situa
tion might have arisen if the highest
court in the land had sustained the
principle of workmen's compensation
legislation by upholding the New Jer
sey law, while the New York state-!
supreme court, as interior court, stui
prevented operation of such a law in
New York, just across the line from
New jersey.
It was . to meet such a contingency
that eongress passed the new federal
act insuring appeal to the federal
courts for a decision which would be
superior to any state court's decree.
FIT Other Maw Lwi.
Five otheri new laws have been
enacted to "speed up" work of the
supreme court, affording quicker justice-
for litigants there and also light
ening the labor of the justices.
One law provides that railroads
cannot appeal to the supreme court
when their appeal is based solely upon
the fact that they enjoy a federal char
ter and are thus "creatures of con
gress." The law stipulates that, even
If such railroads have federal charter?,
instead of taking a direct appeal as a
matter of right to the supreme court,
they must first go through the lower
federl courts.
Another now law' provides that bank
ruptcy, trademark, copyright and pat
ent cases shall not be appealed directly
to the supreme court, but must first
be based by the circuit and appellate
courts. After that no appeal can be
made unless the supreme court or some
J u slice voluntarily consents to have an
appeal given. Similar laws curtail ap
peal to the supreme court of cases
from Porto Rico and Hawaii.
