" FIGHTING LABOR BOARD'S DEMANDS Testing Constitutionality of Order Compelling Testimony Chicago, Sept. 29.~Test of the constitutionality of a clause in the transportation~act of 1920, arming the raliroad labor board with power to require testimony was begun to- day. The board petitioned the United States district court to order John McGuire of Chicago and D. B. Robertson .of Cleveland to tes- tify. before the board, the latter to fix the time and place. McGuire is general chairman, on the Chicago and Northwestern rail- road for the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Engineers. Robertson is president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine- w The petition was flled before Judge J. H. Wilkerson by Edwin A. Olson; United States attorney, and Weymouth Kirkland and Robert N. Golding, special assistants to the United States attorney general. The underlying. question whether congress may ‘delegate to such a body as the labor board the power to compel testimony was compared by legal observers to the case of ex. parte Daugherty, now pending on review before the United States su- preme court, In that case Federal Judge A. J. M. Cochran of Ken- tucky, on May 31, heldys that: the senate, had “usurped judiclal pow- er” in attempting to enforce its sub- poena of Mal 8. Daugherty in an investigation of alleged acts of for- mer Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty. Judge Cochran held, however, that the question was not the power of congress to com- pel evidenoe from outsiders in ald of legislation but of either branch thereof acting by itself without pre- vious®action on the part of congress.

McGuire and Robertson twice dis- regarded subpoenas of the board. On the first occasion subpoenas were isued for them and for another grand officer and 101 other general chatrman in a dispute over wages and rules between the brotherhoo: and a managers' committes repres senting ninety-four western raile roads. The statement by counsel for the rallroad board does not accord with “oyr conception of the facts” sald Donald R. Richberg, counsel for the respondents. “We will therefore not move for dismissal, as such mo- tlon would -entall acquiescence with the statement of fact, but will an- swer, setting forth our version of the facts.” Mr. Richberg intimated that he would seek to show that the assumption of jurisdiction was wrongful. The petitlon quotes an order of the board overruling the protest of the respondents and other witnesses against the assumption of jurisdic- tion. The board held, and the wit nesses denled, that the dispute was likely to interrupt commerce. The witnesses contend through their counsel that the hearing of the dis- pute by the board interrupted ne- gotiations, and requested enforce- ment of the empowering clause of the transportation act is “in viola- tion of the Constitution.” The challenged clause in the transportation act authorizes such petitions as that fiied for the first time today and provides that the board may call upon he courts to punish refractory witnesses for con- tempt. The board relied upon this clause previously in demanding the testimony of two railroad officlals. H. H. Ferguson, vice-president and general manager of the Illinois Terminal company and Samuel Rea of Philadelphia, president of the Pcnnlylv‘a lines, had on separate occasions Wenied the jurisdiction of the board and refused to appear. They reconsidered when warned that otherwise they would be sub- poenaed. The Pennsylvania lines carried the question of the jurisdiction of the board into the United States su- preme court, which upheld the gur- isdiction of the boar® but ruled that the decisions of that tribunal were not enforceable. BUTLER STILL ILL As a Result He Still Head of Philadelphia Police Department And No Ouster Move is Made, is Philadelphia, Sept. 29.—In view of the continued ilineas of General Smedley D. Butler, director of pub- lic safety, the insinuation with regard to his status as head of the Philadel- phia police department remains un- changed and nothing will be done until he returns to his desk, Mayor Kendricks said today. With this announcement the mayor set at rest a report that he intended to remove General Butler in advance of tonight's mass meeting in protest against the director’'s dis- missal. At the general's home.it was stat- ed by physician that his condi- tion is such that he will not be able to return to city hall before Thurs- day.
