NEW ORLEANS, June 20.
The Wagner Connery Labor Act.
President Roosevelt's new deal
for the working man, today was
declared unconstitutional by the
U. S. Fifth Circuit Court of Ap
peals.
Bluntly, in a two and one-half
page opinion, the court ruled:
"The constitution does not vest
in the federal government the
power to regulate the relation as
such of employer and employee
in production or manufacture."
It was the last major enter
prise of the new deal left on the
statute books that applied to la
bor, and the decision came in the
face of labor unrest, particularly
on tenant farms of the south and
in cola fields.
The case was brought to the
court by the National Labor Re
lations board, seeking an order to
compel Jones and Laughlin steel
corporation of Aliquppa, Pa., to
reinstate several employees it
had discharged, allegedly for un
ion activities. National labor
board officials in Washington in
dicated the decision would be
appealed to the U. S. Supreme
Court.
