ACE EIGHT
COURT SETS
ASIDE
ORDER
Oil IS
s
EES
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9 P)
The supreme court set aside
late Monday an order restrain
ing Western Union from send
ing interstate messages trom of
fices where it has employes un
der 16 years of age.
Justice Jackson delivered the
court's 5-4 decision.
The southern New York dis
trict federal court ruled that
transmission of messages under
such circumstances violated
child labor provisions of the
fair labor standards act. Its or
der restrained Western Union
from handling any interstate
message produced in an office
"in or about which within 30
days prior to the transmission"
of the message there was an em
ploye under 16. .
The second federal circuit
court upheld the order. Western
Union contended before the su
preme court that congress did
not intend to require telegraph
companies to cease employing
messengers under 16. It argued
the lower courts were wrong
in deciding that telegrams are
"goods" and are ''shipped" in
commerce and a telegraph com
pany is a "producer" of mess
ages. The court majority said tele
grams were goods, but refused
to hold that Western Union is
a producer or shipper within
the act's meaning.
Justice Murphy dissented
from the majority's decision and
was joined by Justices Black,
Douglas and Rutledge. -
Murphy said that "by reading
into the fair labor standards act
an exception that congress
never intended or specified,
this court has today granted the
Western Union Telegraph com
pany a special dispensation to
utilize the channels of inter
state commerce wiiue Kiuyw
ing admittedly oppressive child
labor.','
The majority held, however,
that ascertainment of the inten
tion of congress in this situation
is impossible.
The 46th general hospital
United States army, organized
at the University of Oregon
medical school and made up
principally of Portland doctors
and nurses, has been awarded
the ' meritorious service unit
placque, according to informa
tion received from Col. J. Guy
Strohm of Portland, command
ing officer.
Capt. Hugh B. Currin of
Klamath Falls, a graduate' of
the medical school, is on the
staff of this army hospital
which was originally set up in
North Africa, now located in
the French battle area, making
an amazingly quick transfer.
The citation was awarded,
Dr. Strohm wrote, because of
the efficient and rapid manner
in which the hospital organized
for treatment of casualties and
for high quality of professional
work done by the staff. This is
believed to be the first Oregon
hospital unit so honored. ' ,
WLB Member Replies
To AFL Man's Charge
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (IP)
' The charge of being "an inflictor
of bureaucratic wisdom is one
which not even a public member
of the national war labor board,
accustomed as he is to being
called almost everything in the
book, can take lying down,"
Dexter M. Keezer declared at a
board session yesterday.
The former president of Reed
college in Oregon spoke in reply
to a declaration by AFL Member
Robert J. Watt that the majority
was imposing the "dubious ben
efits of their bureaucratic wis
dom" in a transportation case de
cision. Said Keezer: "The opinions
and the viewpoints of some
members of this board are exclu
sively determined by whose ox
. is getting gored." ,

VOIDS BARBER
IM IN STATE
SALEM. Jan. 9 (IP) The state
supreme court unanimously void
ed the 1943 state btirbor law,
which allows barbers to fix
minimum prices, by holding it
unconstitutional on grounds the
legislature unlawfully delegated
its powers to tho state barber
board.
The law provides that 70 per
cent of the barbers In any coun
ty may set prices fur all bar
ber services in Unit county, by
filing price schedules with the
state barber board.
Barbers sought enactment of
the law to prevent price cutting,
and immediately alter passage
of the law, prices of haircuts
rose from n low of 35 cents to
75 cents and more.
The suit was brought by Earl
La Forge,' Portland barber,
against the barber board. To
day's decision by Justice Hall S.
Lusk reversed Circuit Judge Al
fred P. Dobson of Multnomah
county.
La Forgo also contended the
law was invalid on grounds it
violates the due process clause
of the federal constitution, but
the high court did not pass on
this phase. ,
