NCOURTS HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE OR UNMAKE LAW ~ JUDGE MAIN. Asserting that courts should not declare acts of the legislature unconstitutional unless they are clearly so, John F. Main this morning favor of the constitutionality of the elghthour law for women, Twice this morning, in two widely different cases, Judge Main took the progressive stand that courts are not law-making bodies, The first was the test case brought to determine the constitution- ality of the eight-hour law, Mrs. Helen Sommerville, proprietress of & box factory, admitted working women employes for more than eigh® hours, and the court, in fining her $20 this morning, stated that thie should not be taken a indicative of what the punishment in such cases should be, but that a light sentence was’ imposed because the case was citiefly brought to test the constitutionality of the law “Constitutional questions should be approached by courts witht great caution,” he said, “and no act of the legislature should be de clared unconstitutional unless clearly so, The legislature is a ¢o» ordinate branch of the government with the courts, and where the subject matter is a proper one for legislation, no Mmit or control i@ to be placed by the courts on legislative discretion.” “It is argued that nine hours is | ‘ the correct economic standard, and that this new law disturbs the eco- nomic standard. The courts should | hesitate to declare a law unconstl- | tutional because of such an ec nomic reason. The constitutional ity of a law is not thus to be de- termined. That is matter of legis- lative discretion.” Postponing the sentence of Peter | Pfeilen, the ex-marshal of Kirldand, | |who was found guilty of criminal in order to determine the constitutionality of ordering a/ gical operation performed upon | im, Judge Main, taking the same | progressive stand, again made the | statement | “Courts are not law making| It is the duty of the courts to follow the law in each case.
