; Decisions on the Wagner, Act
THE final effective answer to Pres. Roosevelt and the ag
itators for increasing the supreme court's size in order
to pack it with liberals was made by the court itself in
its decisions in Wagner act cases Monday. It might be assert
ed that "friendly" decisions may be obtained by raising a hue
and clamor (as southerners did when they hired a band to
play "Dixie" outside the courthouse where a negro was on
T trial), and that if a sufficient commotion is raised, accom
panied by threats, the court will "come through." But it surely
is no longer necessary to inflate its size by appointing ditto-marks-to-the
executive in order to get legislation approved as
to constitutionality. j 1
While the first popular reaction to the Wagner law de
cisions will relate them to the pending controversy over the
court itself, the truth is that the law. and the decisions made
yesterday are of far-reaching importance in their own sub
stance. The ground which the supreme court broke into, in
giving a broad interpretation to the commerce clause, may
make unnecessary even an amendment to the constitution.
In appearing before the senate judiciary committee last week
James Truslow Adams, eminent historian, said the supreme
court had done a good job of "wangling" new meanings from
the constitution to take account of modern conditions, Taut
that it had reached a point where it could not wangle any
more without the aid of a constitutional amendment. Mr.
Adams might revise his opinion as to the elasticity of the
wangling in the light of the Monday decisions, i
' i
What were the issues involved ? First the Wagner act
guarantees to employes the right to organize and to be rep
resented for collective bargaining by persons of their own
choosing. The act made its own application to industrial re
lations directly affecting ! interstate commerce.! There can
scarcely be any question as to the right of the congress to
enact such legislation. The moot point is whether in specific
instances interstate commerce is affected. The bus company,
one of the litigants, admitted it was in interstate commerce,
so the court held by unanimous vote, that the company came
under the Wagner act. In the cases of a steel company, a
trailer company and a clothing company the court by a five-to-four
decision, ruled that their activities directly affected
interstate commerce. This appears to be virtually a reversal
of its rulings in the NRA and Guff ey coal cases. Justice Mc
Keynolds in his dissent quoted from One of these decisions:
"The local character of mining, of manufacturing and of
crop growing is a tact, and remains a fact, whatever may be done
with the products." I
Justice Hughes, in the steel company case, said yes
terday: "The steel industry is one of the great basic Industries of
the "United States, with ramifying activities affecting Interstate
commerce at every point. I
Very true ; but the description fits the soft coal industry
with equal accuracy. One hesitates to charge inconsistency,
but the superficial view is that the two decisions do not
harmonize. The implication of the latest decision is that the
congress may go farther in legislating respecting working
conditions in basic industries. !
The remaining case was the Associated Press case. Here
the defense asserted that.jthe Wagner, act was an invasion of
the rights of a free press because it restricted the AP in the
selection of its employes and so might result in a coloring of
the news from lack of control over the employes.' The court
decided that the Associated Press is not Immune from reg
ulation. Justice Roberts cited other laws which the the press
must conform to : the law of libel, taxation, punishment for
contempt of court. As far as coloring of news is concerned
Justice Roberts made it clear that the authority of the man
agement was not infringed in this regard : j
"The act does not compel the petitioner to employ anyone;
it does not require that the petitioner retain in its employ an in
competent editor or one who -falls faithfully to edit the news
to reflect the facts without bias or prejudice.
"The act permits a discharge for any reason other than-,
union activity or agitation for collective bargaining ; with em
ployes." . The Statesman believes that Justice Roberts has in
terpreted the law correctly. It believes that newspapers are
. not entitled to immunity from general laws merely by virtue
of the guarantees of the first amendment.
While the court has upheld the Wagner act and sustain
ed the governnsnt in the cases at issue, it made it clear
that each case would have to be considered on its own
statement of facts. This probably means that industries pri
marily local in character will not be held bound by the terms
of the act. But so closely integrated is all commerce now the
f practical effect of the law and of the decisions will be to put
! mil industrial workers into labor unions. i
The victory for organized labor is tremendous. It lines
the government, through the national labor relations board,
on the side of the labor organizer. Henry Ford may defy the
CIO, but he can hardly win from the government of the
United States plus the supreme court. The justice of collective
bargaining is one which enlightened students of modem in
dustry have long conceded. The Wagner act, however, is dis
tinctly one-sided. In effect it creates a labor monopoly and
opens the way to the Dave Becks who become labor oligarchs
as dangerous to the public weal as industrial oligarchs.
Eventually the labor union must submit to regulation itself;
or it will become everywhere,'
the de facto government.
'Heavy
IN his booklet "Come to Oregon" Charley Wilson, manager
of the chamber of commerce, tries to clear up the false
story about so much rain in the Willamette valley. He
quotes rainfall statistics to show that Salem's average annual
rainfall of 36.13 inches is less than that of Springfield, 111.,
(36.45), Kansas City, Mo., (37.11), Boston, (40.14), Wash
ington, D. C, (42.16); To further emphasize the harmless
ness of the Oregon rain "Come to Oregon" says "It rains so
gently that the stranger isn't quite sure whether it is dew
drops or raindrops or just heavy sunshine." j
Oregon has a hard time defending itself against geo
graphical and climatic falsification. There are those who per
sist in locating Crater lake in California and draining the
Columbia river into Puget Sound. The habit of traducing the
Oregon climate must have been started by Parson Fletcher,
who accompanied Francis Drake on the voyage! described
Sunday in this column. On the same expedition in 1570, when
Drake planted his brass plate claiming California for Queen
Elizabeth as Nova Albion, he pushed his ship, "The Golden
Hind," farther north, some say to lat.. 43, opposite central
Oregon, others (Fletcher) to lat. 48 degrees, opposite the
Olympic peninsula. The weather was so cloudy they couldn't
take observations. But Parson Fletcher wrote that when
they reached lat. 43 on June 3 !
"we found alterations of heat. Into extreme and nipping cold,
that our men In general did grievously complain thereof, some of
them feeling their health much Impaired thereby .. . i
"Besides that the pinching and biting air was nothing alter

did not end with the
driving of the last spike
and pioneering goes on yet:
Mrs. Maria h F. Robertson,
whose comfortable home Is at
1598 Court street, Salem, cele
brated an anniversary on Tuesday
last, the 6th.
On that day of April. 1875, she
with her people started from
Knoxville, Marion county, Iowa,
36 miles southeast of Des Moines,
capital of that state,, on their way
to Oregon; and they settled in an
other Marion county. .. .
- ;-'
They left the state about the
meaning of whose name there is
much dispute, but which probably
signifies "sleepy ones," and which
has more ways of being spelled
; than any ' commonwealth of the
sisterhood, the number being 106
They came to the state con
cerning both the origin and the
meaning of the name of which
there has been doubt from the
time it was first used. Here they
chose a home still closer to the
state capital. They located near
the Rickey school, where thgy re
mained for two years. It is now
the Brownell place.
y
Then they went to a place right
next to the famous and pioneer
Prlngle school. There the five
children in the family attended
school. '
No, they did not come with cov
ered wagons, though covered wag
ons in trains and singly persisted
long after the last (golden) spike
joining the Union and Central
Pacific railroads was in 1869 driv
en at Promontory Point1 at the
north end of the Great Salt Lake,
thus linking the two great oceans
by steel rails in bonds of commer
cial intimacy.
H "W
George W. Mothorn was the
father of Mrs. Robertson, and her
mother had been Elizabeth Darr,
Of the five Mothorn children only
two are now living, Mrs. Robert
son and her-brother Jim, who
makes his home with her.
She was married April 20,
1881, to James N. Robertson, who
was a farmer, his place a mile
south of the Pringle school, where
they lived 21 years. They were
together 40 years less four days.
the final summons overtaking him
on April 16, 1921. They had quit
the farm two years before, and
moved to their Salem home.
U
The Mothorn family, leaving
Iowa April 6 had arrived here
April 21. They came by train from
their Iowa home; were obliged to
remain over at Omaha for about
a week, the travel westward in
1875 being so heavy that railroad
coaches with cushions for fam
ilies were not available for that
length of time. It was either wait
or take a train with onlv hard
board seats.
The family was taken by train
to Sacramento, Cal., by river boat
to San Francisco, and there they
boarded the famous steamer Or
iflamme; one of the crack vessels
of Ben Holladay, then in the hey
day of his career as a railroad
and steamship magnate. The Ori-
flamme brought them to Portland,
and Holladay's Oregon & Califor
nia railroad (now Southern Pa
cific) carried them to Salem. That
was one of the last trips of the
Oriflamme. She was wrecked soon
after. Ben Holladay's railroad got
as far as Roseburg in 1872, and
that was the railhead for 10 years.
, S
Three children came to the
Robertson home. Clarence H. died
in 1917. OUie Hilmoe lives at 515
S. 21st street, Salem, and she has
six children, all married but one.
Grace Robertson lives with her
mother.
It was stated above that the
Mothorns did not come from Iowa
in covered wagons. However, In
1883, they took a covered wagon
trip, in a train of three wagons,
that lasted three years.
V
The Mothorns, father, mother,
two brothers and one sister, and
the Robertsons having rented
their farms, traveled to California
in" covered wagons.
They went to Healdsburg. So
noma county, and came back with
the same teams in 1886. While in
California the men worked on the
farms of that section, and some of
the women worked, too. for em
ployment was plentiful both
men and women were needed in
various lines, principally in vine
yards, for in that period great
areas were being put to grapes In
that section of California.
Mrs. Robertson recalls that the
travelers, taking four weeks to
make the trip going down, saw
men working on the railroad, then
being extended to California from
Roseburg especially she recalls
the tunnel workers. That was the
biggest job in extending the line
through southern Oregon and
nerthern California; so many
tunnels were required, and mod
ern methods were not yet discov
ered. It would be easier now, and
shorter in time required.
They were six weeks in return
ing, for they came by way of Big
Valley, the lake country, includ
ing Lakeview and Linkville (now
Klamath Falls), and way points.

James N. Robertson was born
in Pittsburg in 1850, when that

Parson Fletcher's reputation for veracity is no better
than that of Parson Weems ; and one time Drake pinned an
inscription around his neck which read : "Falsest knave that
liveth." But Parson Fletcher Bet thstyle; and now Charley
Wilson has to resort to the poetry j of "heavy sunshine" to
defend the reputation of the Oregon coast. We may owe Par

statement.
It! may be the president's early
statement was given more weight
than it was meant to have. To one
who was at the press conference
when Mr. Roosevelt spoke, it did
not Seem that his statement had
any portentous intent. It seemed
off-hand. Some one had asked
him something about WPA. He
replied that under-present condi
tions WPA ought not to direct
much of its expenditures into
buildings and bridges which con
sume heavy materials, because the
heavy Industries are already pros
perous enough. He said. WPA at
this time should concentrate on
projects in which most of the
money, goes to labor, rather than
materials. This would stimulate
the so-called "consumer goods"
industries. In short, Mr. RoOse-
T
sylvanla was comparatively new
and small.
Mrs.-Robertson says that when
they were contemplating moving
to Salem, her husband, having re
sided in country places most of
his life, wanted to get a home
close i la. They came very near to
selecting the lot where the tele
phone building stands now. The
one they bought la in a fine resi
dence district, not far from the
capitol group.
Nancy Jane Mothorn was mar
ried to Jacob Stahley In 1876. and
she died the 10th of December
last. In Portland. That Stahley
family was a prominent pioneer
one of Salem. They had the first
chair factory here.

press conferences for jthat kind of
purpose. He may contemplate of

may want the markets to think he

About the merit of Mr. Roose
velt's assertion, many agree
Heads of the steel and . copper
companies themselves agree. But
they don't admit the blame rests
on them. Mainly they blame some
past and still continuing policies
of Mr. Roosevelt. Tney say tnat
some of the rise is due to foreign
buying for armament, but most of
it is due to new deal policies. Tney
think also that due toi those pol
ides, Mr. Roosevelt and the coun
try may have an awkward time
ahead. .
It is a fact that several admin
istration actions and policies tend
to bring about abnormally high
prices for nearly everything. The
administration during four years
has set up a large number of
stilts. It started when prices were
abnormallv low. The measures
taken to raise prices in 1933 and
later, now keep on working after
there is no need for them. Such
measures usually go farther than
is intended. And once under way
they are almost Impossible to
stop. I
The administration has put gold
on stilts. That Is the principal
stilt of all. The administration is
paying $35 an ounee for gold.
That is more than almost any oth
er country or Interest is willing to
pay. At that price, most owners
of gold prefer to selL Consequent
ly the Roosevelt administration.
maintaining a standing Offer of
63a an ounce, has naa nearly naif
the gold in the' world dumped
upon it. I
The administration has similar
ly put silver on stilts. It has put
the British pound and the French
frane on stilts; our administra
tion, as part of Its international
stabilisation policy, presumably
buys pounds and francs to help
keep them from going down. The
administration has put, and untU
lately-kept, government bonds on
stilts. The administration; bays
Its own bonds, not because it
wants the bonds, but to keep the
price from dropping too rapidly.
The administration has pat sev
eral commodities on stilts. By
buying cotton and lending money
on it, and paying farmers for net
raising it, it has put that commod
ity on stilts. By similar policies it
has pat several other farm! crops
on stilts. j
' The administration is jn$t now
putting stilts under soft coal. By
the Guffey coal bill, now passing
through congress, the price will
be raised. In this case, as In oth
ers, having put stilts under one
commodity, the administration
will be forced to put stilts! under
others. Coal is competitive with
oil and natural gas. With the
price of soft coal raised, either oil
and natural gas must go hp too,
or else the market for coal will be
hurt. Also, since cost of fuel goes
up, so must the cost of steel and
other commodities made by use of
fuel, still more stilts. -
It's the old story of attempts by
government to raise prices. On
stilt necessitates another, j Pres
ently, perhaps already, the admin
istration will be like a man-1-
3 animal trying awkwardly
to jlk on an Immense and in
tricate set of stilts. Sooner, or
later, one of the stilts breaks, and
when one breaks all become en
tangled. The result, under pres
ent conditions, Is not necessarily
a general drop in prices.! It U

suggest the Statesman read its

instances, we suggest examination
of the accounts relative to the
public utility district hearing at
Mt. Angel some time back, and
the more recent lawsuit between
the Woodburn Fruit Growers as

the Statesman in such a manner
that a professional cat's paw for

can prove that the Statesman
