Davis sued to restrain officials of his company from paying the tax on the grounds that it was unconstitutional. When the circuit court held in Davis' favor the government, through solicitor general Stanley Reed, urged an early ruling by the high tribunal to determine the law's validity. The old age pension ruling passed on five points — one of them previously decided in the job Insurance ruling. This was that exemptions granted certain classes from the tax did not destroy the law. Unemployment Insurance Washington. May 24—<U.R) —The supreme court today upheld the constitutionality of the unemployment insurance provisions of the new deal’s social security act under which more than threefourths of the states have set up unemployment insurance laws. Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo read the opinion, which served to validate the far-flung new deal objective of establishing general unemployment insurance for work ers. The vote was five to four. The legal provisions were designed to lessen (ho effects of periodic unemployment on the nation’s economic structure. The federal law was drawn to encourage states to pass their own unemployment insurance laws, a method adopted because of the fear of constitutional objections to outright unemployment insurance by the federal government. The court’s approval of the unemployment set-up was expected to cause close scrutiny of the decision for clues to a method of achieving other new deal objectives through joint federal and state action. There were four opinions. Justices George Sutherland. Pierce ' Butler, and James C. Mcßeynolds ! wrote separate dissents. Justice. Willis Van Devanter joined in :

Sutherland's opinion. The majority opinion passed on five major questions. It held that the tax was an excise tax and approved it. It held the tax not invalid in spite of the exemption of employers of less than eight persons. The court held that the statute does not call on the states to surrender essential powers. It held that the tax was not \ coercive on the states. It found that title 9, the tax j provision, alone was at stake in the present court test and that it j was separable from title 3, which set up the unemployment compen-| sat ion provisions. The decision was believed certain to foretell a ruling in favor of state unemployment insurance laws. Mcßeynolds' dissent was not printed. The unemployment insurance provisions of the social security act constituted one of the major phases of the law. The other in volves old age pensions, also be fore the court. The unemployment Insurance phase of the law is contained in two titles of the act. Title HI provides for grants to tlie states for the administration of state unem-’ ployment Insurance funds. Title IX provides for a tax on payrolls starting at one per cent and increasing in 1938 to three per cent to pay unemployment insurance benefits. The latter title was most directly involved in today’s decision. The case on which the court acted was brought by the Charles C. Steward Machine company of Birmingham. Ala., which sued to recover $46 in federal taxes paid on its payrolls to collector of Internal revenue Harwell G. Davis. French Living Costs Up PARIS (U.P.( — Cost of living for a French laboring family of man wife and two children lias risen by 15.2 per cent since devaluation of the franc six months ago. Compared with pre-war, living it is nearly 500 per cent dearer. These figures were announced by a com mission of employers, workmen and civil servants. o Heavy Blame Put on Drivers LONDON (U.P ) — Blame for one-third of the road accidents which occurred in Great Britain last summer is placed upon drivers of vehicles. Tho Ministry of Transport allocated the blame for 87 per I cent of the accident as follows: 1 Drivers, 33 per cent; pedestrians, 128 per cent, and cyclists, 26 per : cent.

Company and union officials and a strikers’ committee of f:ve today resumed attempts to reach a settle- ' inent of a sit-down strike 319 feet underground in the Superior coal 1 company mine no. 4. There was little Indication that , a settlement was pending as the peace conference was resume-d and ’ Nith sides said they would refuse to retreat from earlier demands.
