CONTROL OF PRODUCE
CANADIAN LEGISLATION
RULED OUT BY COURT
STATE POWERS CURDED
(Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Preps Assn.) (Reed. June lit, 11 a.m.) OTTAWA, June IS. The compulsory pool for tho marketing of agricultural products suffers a severe blow from the decision of the Supreme Court ruling to he invalid the National Marketing Act compelling producers of fruit, vegetables, and milk to submit to control by a Government board for fixing prices and regulating shipments. The Government submitted eight reform Statutes passed by tne Bennett Government for the opinion of the court.
The court upheld the Farmers Creditors Arrangement Act, permitting the writing down of debts, the Statute permitting the prosecution of merchants for unethical practices, the Minimum Wage Act, the 48-hour week, and a weekly day of rest. It ruled to be unconstitutional the Social Insurance Act, under which workers would contribute a portion of their wages and receive doles when thrown idle.
Tho provinces will appeal in connection with the Marketing Act to the Privy Council.
