UPHELD IN COURT Labor Act Regulation Held | Proper Despite Firm’s Srall | Interstate Trade. Br the Associatea Press, SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.—The United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals upheld a National Labor Rela- tions Board ruling today that Federal | regulation is proper although less than } half a company’s shipments cross a | State line, The decision obligates the Santa Cruz Fruit Packing Co. to cease dis- couraging membership in & union among its employes. Two years ago the company refused to abide by a labor board ruling on grounds the national labor relations act was un- constitutional When this act was held constitutional, the company con- tended it was not subject to Federal regulation because no more than 39 per cent of its product left the State. Today's ruling said: “Intermingling of the two activities (interstate and | intrastate) does not take from the | Congress the right to regulate that | substantial portion over which the | Constitution has specifically granted the control to the Federal Govern- | ment."” The decision was written by Jml);\‘l William Denman, personal friend of | President Roosevelt. Only a few days | ago Judge Denman wrote a decision | upholding constitutionality of the amended agricultural adjustment act. “So long as 1 per cent of the goods | is so moved.” Judge Bert E. Haney wrote in & concurring opinion, “the | unfair labor practice obstructs the movement to that extent.” Judge Curtis D. Wilbur, in & dis- senting opinion, contended Federal Jurisdiction should not apply unless | at least half a company's business | moved in interstate commerce | Denman’s opinion held the company had admitted dismissing emploves be- cause of activities in the Warehouse- men’s Union. 20C. 1. 0.
