21 (A. -Federal Judge Merrill E. Otis, who tonight held the Wagner Labor Relations act unconstitutional, has handed down two other important decisions affecting New Deal legislation. In December, 1934, he ruled against the price-fixing clause in the NRA. The Government sought an injunction to prevent the Sutherland Lumber Company from selling below code prices, but Judge Otis held Congress had no power to fix prices even in transactions undoubtedly A part of interstate commerce.

Last October 3 he held the processing tax, provision of the AAA became constitutional only after Congressional amendments were enacted August 24. He said taxes, ACcruing after that date would have to be paid, but held the tax was unconstitutional prior to passage of the amendments. Named by Coolidge Judge Otis is a native Missourian, and, as an Assistant Solicitor General of the United States, appeared often in the U. S. Supreme Court.

He is a Republican. When President Coolidge appointed him Federal judge here 10 years ago he was the youngest man on the Federal bench. He was 40 then. Last August a farm mob halting a Federal farm foreclosure sale at Plattsburg, assaulted a U. S.

Marshal and told the officers they would accord Judge Otis similar treatment if he appeared for a scheduled speech at Hopkins, a few days later. Judge Otis made the speech. There was no disturbance. Wagner Act Ruled Illegal by U. S.

Judge Continued From First Page "dealing with said employees in- dividually." In his opinion, Judge Otis said the mill "is a relatively small establishment and is engaged exclusively in manufacturing which is a local business. Yet, the clear intent of the National Labor Relations act is to subject the relations between employers and employees in even such small intraState institutions to the control of the executive branch of the Na- tional Government." Employee as "Incompetent" He said the act deals with an individual employee "AS an incompetent. He is the ward of the United States to be cared for by his guardian even as if he were a member of an uncivilized tribe of Indians or a recently emancipated slave. "It is absurd to say that the refusal of the owner of a four mill to bargain collectively with his employees directly affects commerce among the States. How does it affect it? "Defendants (the Labor Board) answer if the owner will not bargain collectively with his the employees may strike; if the employees strike, production will be curtailed; if production is curtailed, less flour will be exported in commerce; and so commerce is lessened and thus affected.

a more 'distant repercussion' than is the suggested result of A lessened commerce from the far away cause of a refusal of collective bargaining the wit of man cannot conceive." Refers to Amendment Referring to A resolution to amend the Constitution now pending in the Congressional Committee on the Judiciary, Judge Otis said the proposed amendment would give Congress power to "regulate commerce, business, industry, finance, banking, insurance, manufactures, transportation, agriculture and the production of natural resources." When that amendment is enacted he said, "the statute, if then re-enacted, certainly will be constitutional. But not until then, "Then also what yet remains of the sovereignty of the States cease to be and the 'citizen' will have become a The Wagner act gives labor the right to organize unions and forbids an employer to interfere with or coerce employees in their part of the organization. "Unfair Practices" It sets out as "unfair practices" on the part of employers(1) To interfere with, restrain or coerce employees in the exercise of the rights of self -organization. (2) To dominate or interfere with the formation or administration of any labor organization or contribute financial or other support to it. (3) To encourage or discourage membership in any labor organization.

(4) To discharge or otherwise discriminate against any employee because he has filed charges or given testimony in labor disputes, (5) To refuse to bargain collectively with the representatives of his employees. Roosevelt's Statement When he signed the Wagner bill into law July 5, President Roosevelt "A better relationship ment between labor and manageis the high purpose of this act. It may eventually eliminate one major cause labor disputes, but it will not stop all labor disputes. "It does not cover all industry and labor, but is applicable only when violation of the legal right of independent self would Too Late to Classify FEMALE HELP WANTED BOOKKEEPER. one experienced in Dental Supplies preferred.

burden or obstruct interstate commerce. "Accepted by management, labor and the public with a sense of sober responsibility and of willing co-operation, however, it should serve as an important step toward the achievement of peaceful labor relations in industry." Judge's Question "In so far as the act impliedly prohibits a refusal by employers in such a flour mill as that at Aurora to bargain collectively with their employees and prohibits individual bargaining, is it Constitutional?" Judge Otis asked. "Unless it is authorized by the commerce clause of the Constitution (Article 1, Sec. 8, Clause 3) it is not Constitutional. That clause is: 'The ulate Congress shall have power to regcommerce with foreign tions, and among the several States, and with the Indian "Under the commerce clause, in so far as we are here concerned with it, Congress has power to regulate one thing only.

That is-'commerce among the several Nothing else can be regulated by virtue of this power. Commerce Clause "It is inaccurate to say that under the commerce clause Congress can regulate that which, not itself A part of commerce among the States, directly affects that commerce. Because it may regulate commerce it may shield it, it may protect it, from that which would directly affect it by burdening or obstructing it. "It is only when that outside thing actually impinges or is about to impinge on commerce that it can be reached by the power of Congress. The impingement may be prevented, for that is a regulation of commerce, but what goes on before and outside impingement or the threat of it is beyond the power.

Illustration Made "To filustrate: Congress may not regulate intra-State railway rates, but Congress may shield and protect interstate commerce from the direct effect of an attempted State regulation of such rates. "Manufacturing is not commerce nor any part of commerce. Nothing more firmly is established in Constitutional law than that. Congress, therefore, under the commerce power cannot regulate manufacturing. Hence, it cannot relations between employers and employees in manufacturing, as commerce.

Never can these relations be any part of commerce. Defendants (the Labor Board) say, however, that commerce may be affected by these relations. Calls It "Absurd" "But it is absurd to say that the refusal of the owner of a flour mill to bargain collectively with his employees directly affects commerce among the States. Elaborate exposition of its unsoundness involves an assumption I am not willing to make, that any individual can be found who seriously will maintain that interstate commerce directly is affected by the manner in which an employer bargains with his employees." Elsewhere in the opinion Judge Otis said "speculation as to what may have. led to so distorted view of the commerce power as is advanced in this perhaps is valueless.

Certain verbiage, appearing in the act, particularly Section 1, setting out various 'findings' and a 'declaration of policy' suggests that phrases in Court opinions, and one or decisions of that court, entirely irrelevant to the use now made of have been seized upon as foundation stones to support an argument for the asserted power. Supreme Court Ruling "The Supreme Court has decided that Congress may regulate that which is in a of commerce' or 'current of commerce' or 'flow of commerce among the "That is not a stream of commerce which begins in Kansas with the purchase wheat for transportation a Missouri mill, which is interrupted by the delivery of the the Missouri mill where manufactured from the wheat, and which ends in Iowa with the sale and delivery there of flour, a new product, a different. from the wheat which was shipped out of Kansas. "Here are two distinct streams of commerce, one ending when the wheat is unloaded at the mill, and the other beginning when the flour into which the wheat has been manufactured is loaded on cars for shipment to Iowa. The mill is at the end of one of these streams and at the beginning of the other, but it is a part of neither.

In every opinion of the Supreme Court in which the phrase 'stream of commerce' has been used, it has been used to describe a situation in which the thing moving in commerce, as cattle, As grain, has been the same at the beginning and at the end of the jour- ney," Needs Amendment Judge Otis declared if Congress can legislate to prevent "that which indirectly and remotely or even directly and immediately might lessen the production of goods intended in whole or in part to be transported in interstate commerce after pro- Highlights in Bench Decision Outlawing Wagner Labor Act KANSAS CITY, Dec. 21 (A. IGHLIGHTS of Federal DisH' trict opinion Judge holding Merrill the E.

Then also what remains of the sovereignty of the cease to be and the 'citizen' will have become a "Refusal by an employer to bargain collectively with his employees would constitute no evidence that the employer's intention was to lessen commerce." "If Congress can legislate to prevent that which indirectly and re- duction, then its power is unlimited." Such power, however, is not possible without an amendment to the Constitution broadening the commerce clause, he said.

When such an amendment is enacted, then, "what yet remains of the sovereignty of the States will cease to New Deal Lawyers Interested in Ruling Special to The Inquirer. WASHINGTON, Dec. Deal and Congressional lawyers showed considerable interest tonight in the finding by Judge Merrill E. Otis in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri at Kansas City today that the Wagner Labor Disputes act was unconstitutional. This interest was intensified by the record which Judge Otis, regarded as a "very liberal" Republican, has established since his appointment during the Coolidge Administration in 1925, for accuracy in his interpretations of constitutional questions.

The Supreme Court, it was recalled, has sustained his decisions on such questions more often than has been the case with those of many other Federal judges. Snell Maps Fight on New Deal Bills Continued From First Page party conventions exactly as we did in 1932." Plans Fighting Front Mr. Snell's prediction to some extent was based on his determination as minority leader in the lower House to present a "fighting" front to any attempt to jam through a mass of Administration bills with the idea of a quick getaway. He is unconvinced that Democratic leaders will be able to confine the session largely to appropriation measures AS chairman Buchanan has indicated. Holdovers from the last session combined with the controversy over the bonus and neutrality, Mr.

Snell is inclined to believe, will give Congress plenty to do in addition to whatever legislation President Roosevelt may suggest and new legislative projects inevitable in a year when members of Congress have their eyes on the forthcoming election. While not prognosticating on future judgment of New Supreme Court, which had various measures under consideration in its conference today, Mr. Snell necessarily saw in the legislative prospect the possibility of more work for Congress in the event of court decisions adverse to those laws. Johnson Sees Short Term and appropriations. Seek Varied Legislation Meanwhile, Senator Hiram Johnson Calif.) also back at his desk, said he was looking for a short session once Congress settled the question of permanent neutrality, a question upon which Senator Johnson hopes to have something definite to say shortly.

He thinks the Democratic majority in both House and Senate will be wise enough to see to it that Congress is not made 2. sounding board for politics on the eve of a Presidential election. Both Senator Johnson and Representative Snell eschewed Republican political personalities, dodging comment on the action of Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, in permitting his name to be linked with candidates for Republican National convention delegates in the Wisconsin party primary in April. Mr.

Snell, however, was not averse to pedicting large Republican gains in the House in the next election and Republican Presidential victory on the basis of the trend he now professes to find in the country -wide political reaction. "No matter what is said." continued 1 Mr. Snell, "I think that the Literary Digest polls are significant. There was a time two or three years ago when I did not want to believe them, but they were uncanny in their accuracy and I see no reason to see any difference now." Senator Johnson today added his voice to the chorus of returning members of Congress who find business conditions vastly improved and the back of the depression broken. "I believe." he said.

"that the improvement is due to the efforts of the Government to relieve the situation and an ending of the cycle of depression." A common tendency of returning members is to avoid open comment on the Townsend Plan and evidences of its amazing development. On the matter of sheer politics, Representative Snell said that he had given no consideration to the report that he might be chosen as permanent chairman of the Republican National Convention on June 9. Although he did not go into detail on the agenda of the forthcoming session of Congress, it is acknowledged even in Administration quarters that there is controversy lurking in many things to be done beyond the bonus and neutrality The Administration is on record in messages from the President As recommending enactment of a new pure food and drug bill and a ship subsidy measure. It is possibie that Friday. Hence two of the cases least were taken up in conference for the first time this afternoon.

Usually the Justices decide on the Saturday following arguments what their rulings will be. One is designated to prepare an opinion. If there is any dissent those in the minority designate one of their number to write the conflicting views. It sometimes happens that more than one conference is necessary to reach an agreement on hotly disputed litigation. If a decision was not reached this afternoon further action likely would be postponed for two weeks.

No conference is planned for next Saturday because of the holiday recess. The Court will adjourn Monday until January 6, giving the Justices two weeks to prepare opinions on cases that have been argued. Customarily a three weeks Christmas and New Year recess is taken. Some observers wondered if the recess was shortened this year to permit an early announcement of decisions in New Deal cases or whether the heavy docket this term was responsible. No answer from the Court.

Silence is its policy on such matters. O'MALLEY GROUP SEEKS BERTH FOR BELOFF Followers of Chief Magistrate John J. O'Malley in the 39th ward have requested District Attorney Charles F. Kelley to name Emanuel Beloff as an assistant prosecutor. But Kellyey is unwilling to agree to the proposal because he does not care to drop Assistant District Attorney Abraham Berkowitz, lieutenant of Councilman Bernard Samuel, Republican leader of the 39th ward.

Beloff supporters have insisted, it is said, that Kelley should drop Berkowitz and make room for Beloff, who is a former Assistant City Solicitor. APPROVE BRIDGE PLAN HARRISBURG, Dec. 21 (A. -The Public Service Commission approved today plans submitted by the Department of Highways for the construction of a bridge to replace a grade crossing on State highway over the New York Centra. Railroad south of Lawrenceville, Tioga county.

The Department proposes to relocate a portion of the highway. Cost of the construction was estimated at $133,440. The New York Central Railroad Company and oga county have agreed to share equally the cost of land damages, estimated at $1200. The bridge will carry a 34-foot roadway and one sidewalk. It must be completed before July 1, 1936.

The Highways Department will pay the entire construction cost. ACT TO FREE PRISONERS BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 21. (A. -A neutral delegation left by air for Asuncion today to attempt to obtain Paraguayan acceptance of a plan to release 28,000 Bolivian oners of war before the new year.

"Under the commerce clause (of the Constitution) Congress has power to regulate one thing only--that is 'commerce among the several Nothing else can it regulate by virtue of this power." "It is absurd to that the refusal of the owner say, a flour mill to bargain collectively with his employees directly affects commerce among the States." "Phrases in some court opinions, entirely irrelevant to the use now made of them, have been seized upon as foundation stones to support an argument for the asserted I power (of the Wagner act)." legislation will be sought on air mail possibly and ocean amendments mail to contracts, the unem- and ployment title of the Social Security act. While NRA as such probably will not be revived, there are three measures, two of which have been passed by the Senate, which may serve to re-open the general question. The two are the Walsh bill, applying NRA labor standards to Government contracts for construction supplies, and the Black 30-hour-week bill.

A third measure, sponsored by Senator Edward P. Costigan Colo.) and carrying the American Federation of Labor's program for Federal licensing of goods sold in interstate commerce, has been promised some kind of ride in the Senate. In addition, Senator Robert Wagner N. has announced his intention to work for new housing legislation which will involve a fund of 000,000 to $1,000,000,000 for low -cost projects financed by the Government. Among incoming members also are persistent reports that the Townsend plan advocates in the House will attempt to trade with supporters of the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage inflation measure.

A revised Townsend plan bill was introduced by Representative John S. McGroarty Calif.) and at the close of the last session a petition to discharge the agricultural committee from consideration of the bill had 208 signatures, only eight short of the number necessary to force a vote in the House. (Copyright 1935) High Court Verdicts Believed Reached Continued From First Page lieved to have decided whether It would pass upon the validity of the Guffey act in cases appealed this week. The Carter Coal Company, of West Virginia, brought the appeal and the Government said it had no objection to speedy interpretation of the controverted law. The customary conference of the Justices may have been historic.

Whatever they decided--if anything -vitally affects the future of the New Deal. Two of the disputes--involving the original AAA and the Bankhead -were argued in advance of the conference a week ago. These may have been decided then, but some observers considered it likely that the Court would delay action on the farm measures until after debate was heard on the amended AAA act. TVA Debated That took place last Monday. Validity of the Tennessee Valley act was argued on Thursday and Will Decide This Week Action on Judge Otis' Wagner Act Ruling WASHINGTON, Dec.

21 (A. -Whether the Labor Relations Board will appeal from Judge Merrill E. Otis' decision in Kansas City today, that the Wagner Labor Dis. putes act is unconstitutional, is to be determined next week. Edwin S.

Smith, a member of the board, said he did not care to comment further than to say Judge Otis apparently disregarded the fundamental principle on which the act is based--that any interruption of manufacturing due to unfair labor practices would interfere with interstate commerce. It has been known in labor circles here that the board wants to test the act's constitutionality with a case carried to the Circuit Court of Appeals in the manner prescribed by the act--an appeal from a board decision. Procedure Slated In appeals from board decisions, the board's record, including testimony taken at its hearing, goes be. fore the court. In an appeal from an injunction case in a District Court the court record and not the board's would be used.

Before starting a case, the board makes an investigation of labor practices at the plant in question. Two board decisions already are in the Circuit Court. The Fruehaut Trailer Company, of Detroit, appealed from a board order to stop alleged unfair labor practices, while the board asked the Court to enforce a similar order against the Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines, a motor bus interest of the sylvania Railroad. D. of C.

Court Refuses Ruling Justice Jesse C. Adkins, of the District of Columbia Supreme Court, declined yesterday to rule on the act's constitutionality when he refused to enjoin the board from holding an election to determine whether the United Textile Workers represented a majority of the employees at the Gate City Cotton Mills at East Point, Ga. He grantTied the company a stay, however, pending an appeal to the Circuit Court. The company and Mrs. Lola Echols, an employee, contended the act would abridge a their freedom of contract and was unconstitutional.

Employers generally have, contended the act was unconstitutional.
