CLINE. Adopting a liberal interpretation of the mean. ing of interstate commerce, the Supreme Court today upheld the validity of the Wagner labor relations act in its entirety. This unexpected finding of the court was an- nounced in five cases, one being decided unanimously ) and the court dividing 5 to 4 in each of the others. This agtion, lodging in the Federal Government broad power to regulate employe-employer relation- ships irrespective of the fact that particular employes might not be engaged directly in interstate com- merce, was expected to have a decisive effect on the present attempt by President Roosevelt to add six Supreme Court justices unless those aver 70 retire. Opponents of the President's court plan hailed the decision as eliminating every argument advanced by Mr. Roosevelt in support of his undertaking. | Scmeier Wagner to Dicuss Declion Tenighi.
