NATIONAL RECOVERY
UNITED STATES ACT SECTION UNCONSTITUTIONAL NEW YORK, March 13 The National Industrial Recovery Act, which has been receiving many "body blows," was again badly shaken to-day when Mr. Justice G. L. Fake, in New Jersey, ruled that the Act was unconstitutional in respect to its authority to regulate inter-State business. " We can arrive at no other conclusion than that the Act is unconstitutional, because it attempts an unlawful delegation of legislative authority," said the Judge. " It is not the intent in the constitution to pass to Congress regulatory authority over 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 the several States."
