...first decision was on an appeal by Charles C. Steward Machine Co. which sued for a refund of $46.16 of unemployment taxes collected by the Government. The company maintained that unemployment payroll' taxes levied by the Federal Government (of which up to 90% is credited to the payer for contributions made to unemployment insurance funds set up by the States) was an unconstitutional means of coercing States into setting up unemployment insurance-for otherwise all the tax money is lost by the State to the Federal Government...

So New York's Board of Examiners in 1934 unanimously rejected his application for a principal's license. Last week Teacher Jaffe, still awaiting the result of an appeal to the city's Board of Superintendents, filed another appeal with State Commissioner of Education Frank Pierrepont Graves.
