NATIONAL RECOVERY.
JNTRA-STATE POWERS. COURT’S! ADVERSE DECISION. (United Press Association— Copyright). NEW YORK, March 13. The National Industrial Recovery Act which has been receiving many “body blows,” to-dav was again badly shaken when Mr Justice Guy Fake, or the United States District Court of New Jersey, ruled that it was unconstitutional in respect of its authority to regulate :ntra-State business. “We can arrive at no other conclusion than that the Act is unconstitutional because it attempts unlawful delegation of legislative authority,” lie declared, “it was not the intention of the Constitution to pass to Congress regulatory authority oyer the local, intimate and close relationships of persons and property which arise in the process of manufacture, even though they may in a broader sense affect inter-State commerce. If they exist at all, the powers and authority attempted under the Act in relation to contracts of employment in manufacture come within the police power of several States.”
