SAVANNAH, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1936 ed by Chief Justice Hughes, main tained that the Women’s Minimum Wage Law was Constitutional and In tended for the public good. In scath ing terms, the dissenting Justices labelled the majority ruling ironic in view of the fact that the so-called freedom of contract generally affect ed women who, through actual want, are often required to work for pitt ance wages handed out by grasping employers. The chief reaction to the Supreme Court ruling, in political circles at least, was its possible effect on sim ilar minimum wage laws on the books of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio and Illinois. Those laws, al though not directly affected by yes terday’s Supreme Court ruling, appear doomed today. Many took the view that the Min imum Wage Law robbed anti-New Dealers of an important campaign argument. Those who maintained that control over labor and security pro grams should be given the states rather than the federal government, admitted that yesterday’s decision did nothing to help their cause. At the same time, the Minimum Wage Law ruling was seized upon by forces who are calling for Constitutional revision. The revisionalists claim the decision proved that both state and federal labor legislation is Impassible without curtailment of the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction. CHINA DEMANDS WAR!

Solons Meet Republican senators will meet this morning to map their plan of action. Democratic forces in the senate wide ly split, with one group calling for allegiance to President Roosevelt’s ap peals for high corporate surplus taxes and another group stringing with G. leaders in support of the bill reported by the senate finance com mittee. The White House undoubtedly will exert considerable pressure on. the insurgent Democrats before the bill passes. Administration leaders hope that several coalition Democrats in the senate will jump back over to the president’s side of the tax argu ment and drive the corporate surplus tax idea through. G. 0,?. leaders are resolved to keep the insurgents in their fold and hand the president a stinging defeat which, coming on the eve of a national campaign, might hurt Mr. Roosevelt's prestige. New Dealers Adamant New dual strategists,' however, will not cry quits if their corporate sur-t plus tax drive is defeated in the sen ate. In that case, the bill would have to go to conference, the house bill having followed the White House or ders regarding corporate surplus taxes. Mr. Roosevelt hopes that, in the event of a senate defeat, enough pressure could be exerted on the house-senate conference to bring adoption of the house bill. Those opposing corporate surplus taxes in the senate threaten to filibuster against the bill if this occurs. SUSPENSION OF SEVEN CLERGYMEN ENDS DISSENSION NEW JERSEY PRESBYTERY CLOSES CHAPTER ON.
