CASES

' Copyright, 1937, by Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON, April 12. It may
be too delicate a matter to be
brought out In the senate hearings,
but every Insider knows President
Roosevelt would
Nl W- have won two or
Uhree Appoint
Sments to the au
I preme court In
June, If he had
I not submitted his
sharp court reor-
gganlzatlon pro-
i gram.
Th3 senate com-
I mlttee could get
definite informa-
aul Mallon tlon if it called
Houm Judiciary Chairman Sumners
and made him talk. Mr. Sumners is
closer to the court Justices than per
haps anyone else In official life. He
probably would decline to testify, but
he could say. If he would, that two
justices Informed him of their retire
ment plans before the president sub
mitted his court plan. Their names
cannot be stated definitely.
This fact has been practically a
stage secret In Washington for soma
time, and has been reported to the
White House.
What la not generally known, how
ever, la that the authorities of the
new order now have Information that
the Justices feel they cannot carry
out their purpose In view of the pres
sure exercised by the president. If
they leave the bench, their departure
would have the appearance of sur
render. No retirements now are expected by
the president or his well informed
leaders..
, Note The names of the Justices
are not definitely known. Good gues
sera surmise one was Chief Justice
Hughes. He reached the retirement
age Sunday and believes, In normal
circumstances, Justices should retire
at 75. Others whose names are fre
quently suggested are Sutherland and
Van Devanter.
The sidetracking of those Nazi and
It-down strike Investigations by the
house was advertised as & defeat for
the leadership. In reality, It was
nearly everything except that.
What happened waa this: Rules

wishes of Speaker Bankhead and

Government Is Given
Sweeping Victory In
Labor Relation Suits
WASHINGTON, April 12. (AP) The supreme court gave
the government a major victory today by upholding constitu
tionality of the "Wagner labor relations act as applied to all
business engaged in interstate commerce.
Speculation was stirred lmmedlate-y as to whether the tribunal's decla
lons In fire coses would affect Presl-dent Roosevelt's fight for reortanli-
Ing the tribunal.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, had
described the Wagner Act as "the
Magna Charta of labor."
(It guarantees collective bargaining
to workmen In negotiating with em
ployer on wages, hours of work and
other labor conditions.)
Divide On 4 Decisions
Four of the supreme court's decis
ions. Involving the Jones and Laugh
lln Steel corporation of Pittsburgh,
the Fruehauf Trailer company of De
troit, the Friedman - Harry Marks
Clothing company. Inc., of Richmond
and the Associated Press, were fire to
four decisions. ...
The court was unanimous In the
Washington, Virginia and Maryland
Coach company case.
Justice Roberts, who bas held the
balance of power in some fire to four
decisions, delivered the S to 4 opinion
upholding the Wsgner Act did not
violate freedom of the press and
could be applied to the Associated
Press. He also delivered the unanim
ous decision In the Coach company
case.
Chief Justice Hughes, who was 75
years old yesterday, delivered the
opinions In the other three cases.
Mrs. Hughes, from a front row seat,
listened Intently.
The four dissenting Justices Mc
Reynolds, Sutherland, Van Devanter
and Butler In an opinion read by
Mctleynolds, contended that the
court's rulings In th Wagner cases
reversed the view of interstate com-'
merce expressed in decision outlaw"
Ing NRA and the Ouffew Coal Act
Local Character Cited
In those two decisions, the court
said:
"The local character of mlnuig, of
manufacturing and of crop growing
Is a fact, and remains a, fact, what
ever may be done with the products."
A large crowd of sightseers packed
the supreme court chamber and ex
tended In a long line down a corridor
as the epochal decisions were being
read.
The chief Justice read rapidly and
vigorously, frequently looking up to
glance about the chamber.
"Employes," Hughes asserted In the
Jones and Laughllu decision, "have
aa clear a right to organize and se
lect their representatives for lawful
purposes as the respondent (steel
coporatlon) has to organize Its busi
ness and select Its own officers and
agents."
The question of collective bargain
ing, upheld by the cort in businesses
engaged -in interstate commerce, has
been the major point of dispute in
the recent series of sit-down strikes.
Under the decision, the legislation
Is applicable to all businesses held to
be in Interstate commerce.
Ilroari Application
The ruling holding that a steel
company, a trailer company and
clothing manufacturing concern were
engaged In Interstate commerce,
broadened the applicability of the
statute far beyond what Its oppo
nents contended were the proper
boundaries.
The coach company admitted that
It activities were In interstate com
merce. In each of the five separate deci
sions, tho tribunal sustained orders
of the national labor board directing
the reinstatement of employes who
hsd been discharged for what the
government contended were 'unfair
labor practices."
Justice McRcynolds delivered the
dissenting opinion In the steel, cosch
company (trailer) and clothing com
pany cases with Justices Van De
Venter, Sutherland -and BuUer con
curring. Justice Sutherland read the
dissent In the Associated Press case.
, The case Justices were In the ml-
norlty.ln each i to 4 decision.

nolds asserted. "Is fundsmcntai and

right is unduly abridged by the act

FRIENDS AND FOES
OF COURT
WASHINGTON, April 13. (AP)
Opponent and advocate of the
Roosevelt court reorganization bill
d-ew contradictory Interpretations
today from the supreme court's ac
tion In upholding the Wagner labor
relations law.
Senate leaders of the fight against
the bill hailed the court's decisions
as a factor that would go far toward
defeating the court reorganization
plan.
Supporters of the bill, however,
denied the decisions would hare any
elfect on the controversy..
Both . sides expressed delight with
the court's finding that the law was
constitutional.
Wheeler Pleased
Senator Wheeler, a leader of the
opposition to the bill, forecast flatly
the decisions would "mean the de
feat" of the president's measure.
feel-nov there, can't be . any ax
cuaa for wanting 15 members on the
court," Wheeler said. ' r .
Attorney Oeneral Cummings de
clared the rulings constituted "a
sweeping government victory.
"For more reasons than one the de
cisions of today show the wisdom
and soundness of the president's
plan," he said, but smilingly refused
to disclose what "reasons" he had in
mind.
Solicitor General Stanley Reed, one
of he government attorney who
argued the litigation before the court,
said of the opinions:
"A realistic treatment of the con
stitutional problems Involved in fed
eral labor legislation." .
- Profound Effect Seen
Senator Conn ally (D-Tex), one. of
the leaders of the opposition camp,
said the decisions would have a. "pro
found effect" on those members of
congress still undecided about the
court bill.
"It will slow up the drive for the
bill." Connatty aatd. "A car with two
flat tires can't run aa -well aa. one
with four good tlrea."
Senator LaFollette (Prog-Wis),-ln-slated,
however, the court verdicts
would have no influence on the bill.
"Any person who came to the con
clusion that he waa In favor of the
bill, and realized the need, for It, is
not going to be affected by one or
more decisions.". La Follette said.
"The chaotic conditions created by
the court in past decisions bas not
been altered by this particular de
cision.' (Continued on Pace Five.)

Court Probers Stirred
By Wagner Act Rulings
WASHINGTON. April 13.-- The
senate judlcia:y committee quickly
recessed Its hearing on the Roosevelt
court reorganization hill today when
members learned the supreme court
wat deciding constitutionality of the
Wagner relations act.
The court's decision, awaited for
weeks,- stirred Interest among com
mitteemen to fever heat. The mem
bers hurriedly left the hewing room
to learn full detail of the court s ac
tion. The recess came while Texas Dem
ocratic opponents of the president's
plan were testifying It would under
mine constitut.onsi liberties and
damase the party Irreparably.
L. L. Jsmes of Tyler, hesdlng the
SS lawyers, merchants, farmer and
clergymen, brought to the capital pe
titions which he estimated conUim-d
25.000 signatures of persons In svery
section of the state.
"Some of these people say." he de
clared, "that If this plan goes
through, you might aa well bring on
the purple robes of royalty and make
preparations for the coronation."
James disputed afertlons by sup
porters of the bill that the election
to the house in Texas Saturday was
a test on the iwue. Lyndon B. John
son, babcltlng the president's propos
al, won. Two of hi rivals had de
nounced the measure.
"The campaign turned on person -alltlea,
not issue. James said. ''Fur
thermore, Johnson had some support
from members of the supreme court
defense aoclatlon represented her
today "
Senator Loan tD.Ky t, and ado
cate of the bill, said the election
"ought to serve notice on some ot
those In opposition that they are not
following the popular course."
Senator Van Nuys (D.-Ind) said
some opponents, like himself, "would
rather sacrifice personal ambitions
j than succumb to a popular movement
which strikes at the very fund amen
tals of our government."
Dr. C. P. Patterson of the Univer
alty of Texas called the bill "uncon
stitutional In spirit and In fact. If
not In law. inadequate If there la a
court problem, and dangerous as a
precedent '
Contending the plan would violate
states rights, he said the supreme
court "ha already stretched the con
stitution to the 'nh degree In favor
of the national glverument."
"To force It to go further by con
trolling Its powers." he added, "wou'd
destroy the court as a judicial body,
would make It a party agent, and
would lore the nation's respect for It
"Moreover, it would threaten the
Integrity of the judicial branchea of
the 48 state governments, and under
mine the political and social order of
the nation In fact, this is already s
fait accompli."
Patterson said he had heard taik
of revolution unless Roosevelt consti
tutional concepts prevail, and asVed:
"Is this propnncJa to frighten the
Amerlrsn people Into accepting a
radical change in their ron.ttttutfon
by an act of congress dictated by the
president?'
"Some people think this would be
revolution!" he exclaimed.
Patterson advocated a constitution
al amendment to fix the court per
manently at Its pi-esent number, nine
justices, and wt an age or term of
. ser-ire for compulsory retirement of
' future appointee.

Britain ordered her mightiest

coast.
As the huge battle cruiser Hood,

The British cabinet's hurried 1
