C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1935 NUMBER 109 NATION'S MARTS BOOM AS COURT REVEAIDECISION Supreme Court Favors New Deal In Upholding Gold Policy7 of Administration. STOCK SHARES JUMP $10 New York, Feb. 18. (UP) The stock and com modity marts boomed here today as the Supreme Court's gold clause decision Temoved one of the biggest obstacles in the way of busi ness and market recovery. Prices jumped as much as. $10 a share as 960,000 shares of stock changed hands in one hour following the decision. Washington, Feb. 18. (UP) The New Deal forces scored a smashing triumph today when the United States Supreme Court upheld the administration's gold policy, involving $100,000,000,- 000 in private and government obligations. The five-tofour decision by America's highest court found Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes in the camp of the liberals. Congress Once Wrong The court ruled first, that Congress acted legally in out lawing gold payment clauses in more than $75,000,000,000 of private corporation bonds; sec ondly, that Congress exceeded its authority in outlawing gold clauses and government obliga tions totalling $16,500,000,000, and thirdly, that Congress act ed properly under its power to control and regulate the value of money when it had obliged holders of sold certificates to surrender them for other lega tender. The second ruling was thrown out of court because the party challenging this action failed to prove any actual damage. The ruling came as a surprise to many political observers who had expected an outward show of hostility toward the New Deal by the court.

Some of the section made such logical mistakes as those of call ing Josephus Daniels a cabinet member: Clarence Darrow a d ambassador, am- bassador to Mexico, president of the Cntury of Progress; John McCormack invntor of the machine and rapr; . Sinclair, prominent gov - offi -hA f ro UWniesi Mistakes Other mistakes not atall log- ical and which caused McNeir much amusement were these: Donald Richberg, a Frenchman, a famous German: Mussolini, a HOUSE DECLARES VALUE OF FANCY 'Imagination,' Speaker Says, First Step to Thinking."

SPEAKER REVIEWS TEXTILECONFLICT Miss Harriet Herring Delivers Speech Before Freshman Friendshio Council. Following their plan of in forming themselves on topics for the Human Relations Institute this spring, members of the Freshman Friendship Council heard Miss Harriet Herring of the Institute for Research in So cial Science last night on "The Chief Point of Conflict" in the Textile Labor Situation." "After the war there was a lack of consumption and mod ernization," said Miss Herring, "and the factories did not come out of the slump. When prices were being cut and wages thus lowered, the manufacturers chose the utilization of finer machinery and the 'stretch out system' as the way out of the dif ficulty. Fought System "The workers did not strike because of long hours, low wages, or child labor, things which were later listed by the chief agitators, but because of this 'stretch out system.' " H. F. Comer requested that all members of the Council meet in his office at 10 :30 a. m. today to receive their assignments for work in connection with student faculty day.
