Onto that mighty stage last week marched Lawyer Frederick H. Wood of Manhattan, victor over NRA and the Guffey Coal Act in the Schechter and Carter cases, "to challenge the constitutionality of New York State's unemployment insurance law. Since last January the law has exacted a 1% payroll tax (which will increase to 2% in 1937, 3% in 1938) from all employers of four or more persons. From the fund thus created, workers who lose their jobs after next year will, following a three-week wait, get $5 to $15 per week for not more than 16 weeks...
...almost irreparable damage done by the New Deal, the Yale News comes to the conclusion that "mistakes are better than inaction." Before President Roosevelt arrived America had no Farley, no Tugwell, no Passmaquoddy, no N.R.A., no Guffey Act, no A.A.A., no Silver Purchase Act, no boondoggling. We will take "inaction...
...clumsy persistence in trying to formulate stop-gap measures to replace laws ignominiously thrown out by the Supreme Court is typical of his underhand methods. If he had sufficient courage to brave the political blast, he would come out in favor of a constitutional amendment to legalize Hot Oil, Guffey Coal, and A.A.A.

NRA, AAA, WPA, PWA, the Wagner Labor Relations Act, the Guffey Coal Act, the Social Security Act have given or promised cash or privileges to some particular group of voters. But trade reciprocity depends on the abolition of privileges, and few of its beneficiaries are aware of their benefits. Steel workers never know what portion of their pay comes from steel that goes into automobiles and machinery sold overseas...
...rapidly becoming a potent force in national as well as industrial affairs. Reporters in the Senate Press Gallery knew it fortnight ago when they saw the baleful glare Miner Lewis cast down on West Virginia's snaggle-toothed Rush Holt as that daring young man filibustered the substitute Guffey Coal Control Bill and possibly his own public career into the discard. Newshawks at the White House knew it when John Lewis stomped grimly into the President's office next day. And correspondents in the press box at the Democratic Convention last week knew it when John Lewis, hospitably...
