A—20 COURT PROPOSALS FLAYED, DEFENDED Burke and Jackson Debate. La Follette and Black Talk in Gotham. B the Associated Press, NEW YORK, March 25.—In two public forums here last night the President’s proposals to alter the per- sonnel of the United States Supreme Court were alternately attacked and defended. The Economic Club of New York celebarted its thirtieth anniversary listening to Senator Edward R. Burke, Democrat, of Nebraska and Robert R. Jackson, Assistant United States Attorney General, debate the issue. At Carnegie Hall the American Labor party mustered its trade union followers to a meeting addressed by Jackson and two Senators, Robert La Follette of Wisconsin and Hugo M. Black of Alabama—all favorable to the changes. Paul D. Cravath, president of the Metropolitan Opera Association and director of financial and industrial companies, presided at the Economic Club dinner, where Winthrop Aldrich, head of the Chase Bank, and Ogden L. Mills, Treasury Secretary in the Hoover cabinet, were honored guests. They heard Senator Burke assail the proposal as “the most flagrant example in American history of an attempt to strip the people of the right to say what powers they ‘want to vest in their Congress and in their President.” Urges Decision by People. Burke proposed that the people be given a chance to pass on the ques- tion of whether “there is to be a new and undreamed-of concentra- tion of authority at Washington, so that Congress and the President may be free to direct the lives of 130 mil- lion people without check or restraint of any Xind.” He argued that Congress has “al- | most unlimited power” to approach & solution of the Nation's problems *in a national way” and urged: “If there be such matters as regula- tion of minimum wages, hours of labor and similar subjects, which the framers of the Constitution clearly did not intend to vest in the Federal Government, and if the people .now desire to place that power in Congress, then let the people speak. Let us not attempt to amend the Constitu- tion without action by the people.” Jackson, defending the proposals, told the Economic Club: “The courts have lately been closing the ways to political compromise of basic problems arising out of the de=- pression and out of troubled industrial relations. The President is seeking, in his policy and in his court proposal, to open the highway to economic and #oc.al peace. The closed road may mean a rough detour.” Addresses Conservatives. In advocating the President’s legis- lation, Jackson told the club members that he addressed them as conserva- tives “who will probably disagree with most that I say.” He invited conservatives to consider *whether their own interests have not been injured by the over zeal of the Bupreme Court in times past and whether far-sighted conservatism does not require some reform within the present Constitution.” He said time would make traditional a retirement age of 70 in the courts which would be “as free from personal implications as the present tradition of presidential retirement after two terms.” To the trade unionists of the Amer- ican Labor Party, who flocked to the President’s banner in its first test of political strength last November, Sen- ator La Follette asserted that industry was carrying on a “huge sit-down strike against American labor and the rights guaranteed to workers by the Federal Government.” Employers, he said, were refusing to bargain collectively with their em- ployes on the theory that the Supreme Court will invalidate the Wagner labor relations act. In the labor strife “sweeping across @ % Gallon of Larvex; pro-' tects a three-piece suite from, ‘moths for a full year. 5179 'Was $3.00. Now only THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. the country,” he declared “we are Framed for adoption by the group reaping the whirlwind of violence and | was s resolution demanding a favor- resentment against the lawlessness of employers who look to the Supreme Court to override the law enacted by Congress.” In an interview prior to the mass meeting he said that Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes, in his letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday, “did not answer any questions I re- gard as important.” La Follette said the President's measure will be adopted “without question; it is an urgent matter.” Senator Black said at the inter- view, in rosponse to a repotrer's ques- tion, that “the sit-down strike is a matter of local law; there is no Fed- eral statute on it.” Elinore M. Herrick, regional director of the National Labor Relations Board and chairman of the American Labor party’s Public Affairs Committee, pre. sided at the Carnegie Hall mass meeting. Among other speakers mustered for the rally were Luigi Antonini, first vice president of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, who is State chairman of the Labor party, and | Walter Brower, special assistant to the United States Attorney General. Fears Labor Movement Set-Back. Said Brower: “If the forces of re- action should succeed in defeating the campaign for reform of the Supreme Court, it means not only the loss of this one battle by the working people of America, not only the loss of just one battle to the President of this Na- tion, but also that the forward march of the labor movement will have been brought to a complete standstill; the prestige of the President of the United States will be gone; the next four years will bring just a series of further disappointments and defeats. ® * *.” |NO_Brushing—Recommended By Den- tists—Approved by Good House- keeping Bureau.

Senator Black devoted the major portion of his address to & comparison of the present court controversy and differences of Presidents Thomas Jef- ferson and Andrew Jackson with the court in their day. Senator Black was the final speaker at the meeting, at which he and Sen- ator La Follette were presented with a petition Strebel said contained the names of 25,000 persons in New York favorable to the proposed court changes. Former Secretary of Treasury Og- den Mills, a guest of honor at the Economic Club dinner, praised the service of the organization as an open forum and commented that: “The currency system of the United States, to which we devoted an eve- ning in 1908, is still a painfully pertinent topic. In fact, I might even go s0 far as to say it is more pain- fully pertinent now than ever before in the history of the country.” He did not enlarge on the remark.
