S 1 fl f ir' f W Wl fl' i 3 - -a Child Labor Law Is Demanded by ' Allied Unions LaFollrtte Declares "Encroach. rornU of Federal Court" Have Wrc-.cd Sovereign, t ty From' People." Cincinnati, O.June 14. (By A. P.) Aiertin that by a procci of gradual encroachmsan" the federal court of the coantry have "tMi sovereignty from the people," Sen ator Laioilrttt of Wisconwn. in ail addren here today before the Amer ican Federation of Labor convention, proposed n amendment to the con nitution denying the power of lower court! to set aide a federal law it unconstitutional and providing for the nullification of any uch decistoa by the supreme-court by re-enactment of the statute. , Citing the recent decision of the supreme court holding uncouitita tional the child labor tax law a . "typical of the cooduct of the federal judiciary, and particularly the sn prejne court wneoevcr congress hat , sought to enact progressive and hu mane legiklatib which mas offensive to great financial interests," Senator Laiolktte declared the supreme tnbvnal of the country was "today the actual ruler of the American peo ple. ' " " . Five Are Supresne Ruler. "The law Is what they say it is." the Wisconsin Senator continued, "and not what the people through congress enact" " Even the constitu tion of the United States is not what its plain terms declare, but what these nine men construe it to be. In fact, five of these nine men are ac tually the wprerae rulers, for by a bare majority the court has re peatedly overridden the will of the people. . ... "The nine lawyers who constitute ' the supreme court are placed in po sition of power for life, not by the votes of the people, but by presiden tial appointment Ex-President Taft was made chief justice by President Harding. Thus a man was invested with the enormous prestige and in fluence of chief justice by presiden tial appointment who had been re pudiated by the voters of the United States on his record. No one will contend that he could have been elected chief justice by the vote of the people.' And yet Chief Justice Taft wrote an opinion that annulled the child labor law; he wrote the opinion in the Coronado Coal com pany case. Ia making this observa tion I levy no criticism at the per sonnel of the court I am not con cerned with personalities. I am deal ing with fundamentals." - "Judicial Oligarchy." ' It cannot be dented that "we are. ruled by a ' judicial oligarchy," the senator asserted, adding that while many of the. minor federal judges "sharing the .sovereign power" of i the supreme court, were "excellent and enlightened men, some of them, nntabtv Tudore Anderson of Indiana and Judge Mctlintlc of West Vir giuia have, -As. my- opinion, shown themselves tf1e petty tyrants and arrogant deSpols..,.
