By the Associated Press, TAMIMENT, Pa., June 27.—A lone voice in a three-day discussion—that of Solicitor General Henry Epstein of New York—rose today to defend before the Tamiment Economic and Social Institute the existing legislative and Judicial procedure of the United States. Epstein, who presented two plans for the benefit of labor as worthy of pas- sage by State Legislatures, was the only speaker in the three-day confer- ence of labor leaders and students to assert that & constitutional amend- ment to curb the power of the Supreme Court was unnecessary under the American democracy. “A majority of one in the Supreme Court should have all the sanctity and force of a unanimous decision, because that is the core of the Democratic form of government,” Epstein said.

As outlined by Epstein, the State in- dustrial commissioner would have the power under the first plan to “inform employes of the purposes and value of collective bargaining and endeavor to achieve * employe organization.” In the other, wage cutting as a basis for market competition would be out- lawed through establishment of min- imum wage requirements for specific services or occupations. Other speakers at the conference, an annual labor discussion meeting, had advocated chiefly amendment of the Constitution to limit Supreme Court powers by broadening the “gen- eral welfare” clause or even by altering the method of amending to permit | simple majorities of the electors of | three-fourths of the States to ratify.
