Washington, Apr. 12.

The Supreme Court to-day upheld the Wagner Labour Relations Act in five judicial decisions, one. unanimous and the others five-to-four, thus defending the right of the National Labour Relations Board to regulate and employee in relationship between employer businesses engaged in inter-state commerce.

The decisions represent a major victory for the Government and led to speculation whether they would affect President F. D. Roosevelt's plans for the reorgani- sation of the Supreme Court.

The judgments upheld the Board's orders for the

In the chief case, the court, by five votes to fuur, declared the act con- the stitutional 119 applied to Aavociated Press, which had claimed the act infringed the constitutional guarantee of the freedom of the press and the non-interference with the liberty of a person without due pro- cess of law. This fight was in res- rect to an employee of the Associated Press, Mr. Morris Watson, who was dismissed last year.

DISCRIMINATION

Watson obtained a decision from the Board ordering the Associated Press to restore him to employment on the grounds that he was unfairly discriminated against as the organiser of a newspaper guild and dismissed without proper cause. The Asso- ciated Press contended Watson was dismissed Ior Incompetence,

The Judgments are expected to give a tremendous flip to the prestige of Mr. John Lewis and his unionisa- tion campaign on behalf of the Com- mittee of Industrial Organisation, and to encourage President Roosevelt to try again with a modified NRA. scheme in order to regulate working hours and wages in enterprises engaged in inter-state commerce, though the court's decision in the Jones-Laughlin Steel case has not dis- closed any intention of
