“BODY BLOWS” FOR NEW DEAL
HOSTILE DECISION OF, COURTS CONTROL OF INDUSTRIES CHALLENGED United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 14, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 13. 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 that the Act was unconstitutional in respect to its authority to regulate intra-State business.
“We can arrive at no other conclusion than that the Act is unconstitutional, because it attempts the unlawful delegation of legislative authority.”
The Judge declared: “It is not the intent of the constitution pass to Congress, the regulatory authority over local, intimate and close relationships of persons and property which arise in the process of manufacture, even though they may, in the 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 in the several States.”
