" K2 *&% WAGNER BILL HELD CURB T0 FREEDOM Measure Clearly Unconsti- tutional, Observer Says. Court Seen Repudiated. - BY DAVID LAWRENCE. President Roosevelt has taken his first important step of a formal na- ture repudiating the unanimaus deei- sion of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Schechter case of May 27 last—he has signed the Wagner labar relations bill, which is plainly unconstitutional and at variance with the Supreme Court precedents. Mr. Roosevelt in his statement issued when signing the measure said “It does nat cover all industry and Jabor, but it is applicable only when violation of the legal right of inde- pendent self-organization would bur- den or obstruct interstate commerce.” Though the Department of Justice argued at length that employer-em- ploye relations tended to “burden or obstruct” interstate commerce. the 8Su- preme Court in the Schechter case Faid this was a remote and indirect effect and that for the commerce clause of the Censtitution to be in- voked it was necessary that the bur- den or injury on interstate commerce | be direct. Interstate Ruling. | In no case in the past short of phy- | sical obstruction or violence seeking to | prevent the shipment of goods in in- | terstate commerce has the Supreme Court ever held that the negotiations between employers and employes were matters of direct relationship to inter- state commerce on the part of busi- nesses which were not themselves in- strumentalities of interstate commerce, like railroads. But there’s still another ground on | What’s What Behind News In Capital Republicans Have Four Candidates Who Lead Field. BY PAUL MALLON. N OUTSTANDING Republican authority has recently traveled around the country, mostly A the Middle West, talking with party workers. He probably has the best inside slant on the sub-strata of Republican thought. about eandidates for '36. His view is Dot surprising, | but is self-evidently authaoritative, In his estimation, the four mast talked-of candidates are: Frank Knox, business man and edi- tor, who is favored by mueh of the former Hoover following. No organ- ization work is being done in his be- half. but it is theught he will event- ually get the Ilinois delegation, prob- ably also Missouri and Oklahoma, and that he will be second chaice in several other Midwest States which have fa- vorite sons as first chaice. This does not represent his maximum chances, but anly what is immediately in sight for him, if he becomes & candidate. Gov. Landon, whose assurances at the moment include only Kansas. has | strong backing among Republican leaders and former leaders ‘on the scene here. He is of Dutch descent. has a reputation for tight econemy both in his personal and publie life. A which the Wagner law is palpably un- constitutional. It sets forth that labor “disputes’ may burden or ob- struct interstate commerce, from | Which it might be inferred that both | piiq o campaign for him on this | patties or either party to & dispute | pygiy i now starting. He is certain 1o | might be guilty of doing something | that directly injures er obstruets in- | terstate commerce. It certainly takes | two sides or two parties to have a| “dispute” about anything. In the| Wagner law, nowever, it is specifically | stated that only the employer can | Ppoasibly be guilty of an “‘unfair Jaber | practice.” Hence the measure ia| tantamount to saying that labor dis- putes do burden or injure intersiate commerce, but only the employer can possibly be guilty of wrongdeing. A more preposterous piece of legis lation was never written by the Amer- ican Congress or signed by an Amer- ican President. It vialates the fifth amendment, which forbids arbitrary | end capricious acts. No Opi Furnished. ‘What, then, is the explanation® It may be derived from the faet that, so far as is known, the Pregident did not request and the Department of Justice did not furnish any formal opinion up- holding the constitutionality of the | act, for the very good reason that no sueh opinien was wanted. The simple tryth is that the American Federa- tion of Labor set its heart on having | the Wagner bill passed irrespective of the Schechter deeision, and the Presi- dent had to choose between antagon- iming an important political group or guing along with it and letting the Supreme Court take the blame, so to apeak, for outlawing the measure. This procedure unfortunately is be- oaming all too frequent. No longer is ‘there any concealment of that purpose. Indeed, it was disclosed to the House Ways and Means Committee in eon- nection with another laber proposal known as the Guffey-8nyder bill, upon which the Attorney General com- | tnented that there was much to be| said on both sides and that it might | well be left to the courts to decide. Now the truth is there never was a more one-sided issue than that pre- sented by the constitutienal contro- versy in the case of the Guffey bill, and there never was a clearer case of | Federal effort to encroach on the | rights of the States to regulate em- ployer and employe relations than is to be found in the Wagner bill. But ®0 long as 1936 politics dominates the scene here and the effort is to pile upon the Supreme Court the alleged responsibility of blocking ‘“reform,” the New Deal is apparently going ahead with that line of action in de- | fiance of the advice of a unanimous | Supreme Court and the plain warn- ings of constitutional lawyers at the public hearings. Test Cases Soon. The courts will soon have test cases, but they will not arise out of the com- | plaint of employers alone, but em- | ployes who, under the terms of the | Wagner law, are forbidden, if they are | in the minority, to negotiate directly or through any spokesmen of their own choosing with their employers, either on wages or hours or werking eondi- | tions. They can, of course, talk with | employers en “grievances,” but are fer- bidden to negotiate er bargain cel- lectively for their fellow workmen. | This means that where a company dominates a union and a majority vote for representatives, the minority, who happen to be members of a na- tional or outside union, are prohibited from collective bargrining. But the union leaders are not afraid of that issue. When an election goes against them, they will yse their influence with a labor board appointeq at their dictation and will take refuge in the “grievance” clause and thus force an election again and again or bring on be a candidate, and 8 strong one. Senator Vandenburg of Michigan may or may not be a candidate. He is nationally better known than the oth- ers, needs no build-up, but is being Jpposed by some of the State organiza- tion groups. For instance, the Indiana boys do net like his World Court vote. Others favoring other candidates ob- ject because he has not opposed the New Deal on everything Senator Dickinson will go into the convention with Iowa, at least. In additien, he will leok forward to sup- port from groups in the party most bitterly oppesed to the New Deal from top to bottom. Hoover Is Out of It. You may note this group does not include Mr. Hoover. He is out of it, in the minds of virtually all respon- | sible Republicans. Talk to the con- trary does not come from those who know what is gaing on. There has been a story aeround lately that he will issue & state- ment putting himself out of the race. Thase wha have talked to him more recently do wot believe it. What they say is that he ia not a-candidate, but will ot say so for several reasoms, mamely: Seif-banishment would deprive him of the influence he wants to exsrt in choosing the right kind of man as a candidate; it would leave the party leaderless until the eandidate 18 chosen; such @ statement would be difficult o compose and prob- ably would be subject to misiniers pretation. The first two reasons seem to be valid. One of the minor Republican ean- didates (not mentioned above) has been taking elocution lessons. As & Tesult, the shrillness of his voice dur- ing climaxes has been lowered a couple of octaves, to advantage. Also, this candidate apparently is the only one who has spent any money on his candidacy so far. In addition to lung training, he has employed a couple of unofficial publicity associ- ates, who paid a few hotel bilis at the Springfield meeting, or tried to. Britain's Surrender “Safe,” The British offer to give away part of British Somaliland to Ethiopia startled our diplomats at first. When England starts giving away a piece of her empire that is bigger news than a thousand men biting a thou- sand dogs. A study of the British offer has caused the surprise to evaporate. Capt. Anthony Eden told Mussolini that Britain would offer Ethiopia a strip of territory through British Somaliland if Ethiopia weuld grant certain territortal eeneessions to Italy. The concessions were far below what Mussolini wants, sa Il Duee rejected the idea. Furthermeore, the concessions were far greater than Haile Selassie ecould grant and still remain Emperor of his kingdom. It was @ certainty that if Muasalini accepted, Ethiopig wauld rejeet. This is what is knewn in diple- matic parlance as a safe surrender, Bow to the Ladies. The New Deal press agents (male) have been roundly euffed, Rt no ene has even offered a bow to the ladies. Unnoticed and unocuffed, they have gone about the business of mimeo- graphing lyries to the mare abundant life. They really are large eogs in a strike until they get the desired | majority. | The employer is powerless against| Buch tactics. He cannot discuss mat- | ters with the minority of his employes, ! who might be willing to work under his terms. Indeed, if he ‘refuses to bargain ecollectively” with the ma- Jority, he is subject to heavy fines. The National Labor Board, whose decisions have been reaffirmed by the Wagner law, held that a refusal te sign a written centract or a refusal of laber's proposals was net a bena fide effort at eollective bargaining. Se by the time the labor lawyers get threugh ‘with the Wagner law and all the ma- chinery of coercion that it sets up in the new Laber Board, an employer who bluntly refuses his employes’ de- mands can be held te have vielated the Wagner law. Thus is freedom of pontract cur-| tailed, freedom of discussion with one's ewn employes suppressed and the Su- preme Court of the United States, liberals and canservatives alike, dis-| regarded by a politically influenced | administration and & politically in- timidated Congress.

Harry L. Hopking’ slashing of hours on relief jobs was described officially today aa an attempt to carry on a higher proportion of move substantial projects. : On work-relief prajects under Hop- kins the maximum hours were out fram 130 a month to 140. The pay, which has been announced as ranging from $19 to $94¢ a month, depending on locality and kind of work, will ve- main the same. Officials said that with the hours each man will work reduced, the ma- terials involved will go that much turther in the jeb-supplying cam-. palgn. The offielals acknawledged that the new change will slow up the program. New Dealers have stressed the diffi- eulty af finding enough durable proj- ecta on which to put unemployed to work and yet stay within the money available. ‘The changed hours, it waa sald, will ’ affect more than 2000000 of the | 3,500.000 persons whom President Roosevelt aims to put to work, Hopkins aimed, it was said, to put his works progress hours more in line with federally aided highway projects and with P. W. A. jobs. In those | cases a 130-hour month prevails, with | pay stopping when bad weather halts | work. Under Hopkins' plan weather does not halt pay. Relief officials calculate that under the new hour schedule work relief wages would average approximately 35 cents per hour, which is consider- ably under the prevailing rates in pri- vate industry. P. W. A. acales for | unskilled labor range from 40 to 50 cents per hour. ‘The 35-cents-an-hour average was based on the official estimate that | the over-all average monthly wage for all classifications and localities of labor invalved would be about $30. | The owest wage of $19 in small | Southern towna averages 13 cents an | | hour, and the $94 top, to professional | | or technical employes in such centers | as New York, is about 70 cents. Officials reminded, hewever, that hourly rates really would be somewhat | higher, because no reduction is made for time lost because of weather. | U. 5.

NEW LABOR LAW Early Tests Loom With In- dustry Opposed to Inter- state View. By the Associated Press. Early court tests of thé Wagner labor disputes act by majer industries are in t. Contending that manufacturing is not interstate commerce, men in the steel, autamobile and rubber indus- tries have given notiee they intend to ask the courts to rule on the new law's conatitutionality as applied to their relations with labor. Preaident Roosevelt signed the Wag ner bill yesterday. It sets up a new National Labor Relations Board of three members. Among other things, the Wagner act makes employer interference with employe organisation an “untair labor practice,” orders employers to deal with the labor organisation represent- ing their employes and gives the labor organiaation ehosen by a majority of the employes in a plant the right to speak for all employes. In the hbill, the President said 1t did net cover all indusury and labor, “but ia applicable enly when violation of the legal right of inde- pendent seif-organization would bur- den or obatruct interstate commerce.” Many large firms are expected to sert that, since the manufacture of their goods is not in interstate com- merce, the Federal Government has no right to tell them how they should deal with their workers. The new Labar Relations Board will supplant the one rendered impotent by the Supreme Court’s ruling in- validating N. R. A.
