STATES LINITED ON STAGE CONTRIL Denies Power Over Prices Charged. Consoli Amu Press. of lhe L& nfled Sta ll?s IM\P at &% much attentlon among le s the ruling this week th: l.egislatures have no author ¥pecify what prices shall be cf for so-called necessities or luxur of life. | The Supreme Court divided five to four on the question, and the major and dissenting opinions reveal the reaching character of the problem it velates to the police power of the States. The majority contended that # theater performance or an athletic contest, for that matter, is not a busi- “affected with the public in-| and hence the prices charged | a matter entirely between the | Luyer and the seller. Lut the pointed out that ticket bro I the good seats and const sirtual monopoly, and when res 15 the public there is opportunity traud. Policy Held Wrong. The majority answered this by guing that while some brokers m it 1s a wrong policy to put out| ragnet, bringing in the innocent | with the guilty, and that the ticket | sgency in question had a flat charge, || that if other brokers deceived the | they could be reached through | s traud or! ears old this month, but who is his colleagues as having and keen a mind as men | ars his junior. took in his dis- | opinion, the view that theaters have Decome affected with a public interest. He said: “The truth seems to me to be that, gubject to compensation when com- pensation is due, the Legislature may forbld or restrict any business when 1t has a sutficient force of public opinfon behind it. Lotteries were thought useful adjuncts of the State £ century or so ago: now they are be- J:eved to be immoral and they have Leen stopped. Wine has been thought good for man from the time of the apostles until recent years, but when public opinion changed it did not need the eighteenth amendment, notwith- #tanding the fourteenth, to enable a Ktate to say that the business should end. “What has happened to lotteries and wine might happen to theaters in some moral storm of the future, not because theaters were devoted to a public use, but because the people had come to think that way. “But if we are to yield to fashion- mble conventions, it seems to me that the theaters are as much devoted to the public use as anything well can . We have not that respect for art that is one of the glories of ¥rance. But to many people the superfluous is the necessary, and it seems to me that the .Government does not go beyond its sphere in at- tem to make life livable for them. am far from saying that this perticular law is a wise and yational provislon. That is not my affair, Bul if the people of the Sh.te of New York, speaking their au ized voice, say that they want 1&, x 00 nothing in the Constitution of the | [l United Stat thelr will.” Price-Fixing Apart. Estirely apart from the question of m & theater has a public use is matter of pricefixing. The Sw- Court, by its decision, insists cm @ business which hu a “public in- must be more the t; whleh derives its lmchue or rigl to exist from the Sutelu.lxunnn foui or public utility, and that, while n some emergencies a business might suddenly have a “public interest,” the ine tends to narrow rather than Wwiden in normal times and that the in- to prevent their having dividual has a right to fix whatever | i rice he pleases for his product, sub- fcct of course, to the laws which pre- vent his collaborating with other yrocum' to fix prices or restrain m-n Legislatures have been in- clined to believe that under their po- lice powers they could fix prices for #o-called necessities. The Supreme Court decision may some day, of course, be overturned, as sometimes is the case with opinions on which a five- to-four vote is taken, but for the pres- ent, at least, the warning is given that States cannot interfere in the arrange- ment between buyer and seller of any commodity except those like rail and motor transportation, power rates and other quasi-monopolistic businesses.

Tnvestigation of communistic activi- ties in the United States by a joint congressional committee of 10 mem- bers was proposed in a resolution yes- terday by Representative Sosnowski, Republican, Michigan. It was refer- red to the House rules committee for consideration.
