U.S. RECOVERY ACT
Declared Unconstitutional INTER-STATE BUSINESS By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright NEW YORK, March 14. The National Industrial Recovery Act, which has been receiving many “body blows,” to-day was again badly shaken when Federal Judge Fake, in New Jersey, ruled - the Act unconstitutional in respect of its authority to regulate interstate business. “We can arrive at no other conclusion than that the Act is unconstitutional, because it attempts the unlawful delegation of legislative authority,” he declared. “It was not tho intent of the constitution to pass to Congress regulatory authority over 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 policy power of the several States.”
