Washington, April 21 By its
unanimous decision upholding the
Constitutionality of the Wagner
Labor Relations Act, the Supreme
Court of the united States con
firmed the right of Labor not on
ly to bargain collectively on
questions of hours and wages
and other matters, but to intrust
the bargaining to a single organi
zation which shall represent all
employees of any given employer.
The decision is far-reaching in
its effects and implications. Not
alone in Labor matters, but in its
possible effect upon the present
issue raised by the President's re
quest for power to name addi
tional justices and so "liberalize"
the Supreme Court, this decision
is regarded here as the most im
portant since the invalidation by
the Court of NRA and AAA.
Five cases in which the Nation
al Labor Relations Act was in
question were decided. The con
trolling decision, on which the
Court was unanimous, held that a
business clearly engaged in in
terstate commerce must permit its
employees to organize and to
elect a Labor organization of their
own choosing to represent all em
ployees as their sole bargaining
agent. In case of refusal of an
employer to bargain under such
conditions, the workers can ap
peal to the National Labor Re
lations Board, which is required
to conduct an investigation and
then issue orders based upon the
facts disclosed.
Only the workers can invoke
the Labor Relations Act. Employ
ers have no recourse but to accept
the Board's rulings. If the major
ity of their employees vote to elect
Mr. Lewis's C. I. 0., or any union
of the Federation of Labor, as
their sole representative in nego
tiations with the employers, then
employers are bound to recognize
the outside Union. On the other
hand, if a majority of the work
ers decide on their own "company
union" as their representative,
then any outside union is barred
from acting for any employee or
group of employees. The principle
of the law is that there must be
but one union organization rec
ognized for any particular indus
try or business establishment.
Moreover, employers are punish
able under the law if they inter
fere with union activities, at
tempt to influence union elec
tions, or dismiss a worker for
union activities.
Of the five decisions upholding
the Labor Act, the Court was di
vided, five to four, in four cases.
The issue in those cases wa3 not,
however, the right of the Feder
al government to prescribe rules
for Labor negotiations, but wheth
er in these four cases interstate
commerce was involved. Justices
Roberts, Stone, Brandeis and Car
dozo agreed with Chief Justice
Hughes in broadening the inter
pretation of interstate commerce,
so that the unanimous decision
upholding the Act in interstate
commerce applied to all five
cases.
Controversy Not Over
The battle for Court reform is
far from being over, however. It
is the most intense cpntroversy
which has divided Congress in
many years. It forms an effec
tive dam to block all important
legislative measures until it is out
of the way. Both parties in both
houses of Congress recognize this,
and members are determined to
get the Court issued resolved be
fore buckling down to the other
major questions awaiting their
actions.
Leaders of both parties in both
Houses are seeking a formula for
compromise, with the questions
still in doubt as to whether the
President will accept a compro
mise. The plan most favored by
the compromisers is an amend
ment to the Constitution which
might have a chance of accept
ance by the necessary two-thirds
of each House, and would put the
issue up to the people of the
states.
One result of the Court pro
posal has been to turn Senators
and Representatives to a closer
study of the Constitution of the
United States than some of them
had ever given to that supreme
law of the land. Even among those
not sympathetic with the Admin
istration's policies and methods,
the feeling is growing that the
times call for a more specific defi
nition of interstate commerce
than the Constitution now con
tains. The development of mod
ern industry and transportation
tends to wipe out the lines which
formerly clearly separated inter
state commerce from purely in
tra-state transactions. There is no
question of the right of the Fed
eral government to. regulate in
terstate commerce down to the
wages paid to worker? and their
hours of labor. Therefore, the
purpose of those who believe the
Federal government needs broad
er powers in such matters would
be served by an amendment de
claring every business and indus
try whose products or merchan
dise ever crossed state lines or
which are distributed across state
lines to be interstate commerce.
Prompt Solution Important
Whether two-thirds of the
states would agree to such a broad
surrender of their right# to do
their own regulating is another I
question. There is a feeling on I
Capitol Hill that such an amend- {
mend would be more likely to
succeed if it were put up to state
conventions elected by all the
people tti«\n if it were left to the
legislatures to ratify. Either
method of ratifying an amend
ment is permitted by the Con
stitution. The suggestion is being
seriously made that an amend
ment be proposed for convention
ratification, delegates all to be
elected in each state at next Fall's
elections, and the conventions to
be held before Christmas, so that
the next Congress, meeting in
January, will know just where it
stands.
If this or some similar amend
ment proposed prevails, it will,
more likely than not, include an
amendment providing for com
pulsory retirement of Supreme
Court justices at 70 or 75, or after
ing permanently the number of
a given term of service, and fix
justices of the Court.
Until all the Court proposals, of
which only a few have been sug
gested here, are out of the way,
I Congress is practically at a stand
still so far as such vital matters
as reducing Federal expenditures
increasing taxation, and shaping
permanent Labor and Relief poli
cies are concerned.
Polished manners wouldn't help
some men. They need a re-paint
job.
