Supreme court upholds Wagner act and labor rights

It urges employers to recognize new duties while noting safeguards against lawless strikes and calls for enforcement against slot machines and graft uncovered in Iowa. It references wage changes in Valparaiso and Cedar Rapids, and critiques an Iowa senate move to kill merit rating in unemployment taxes. It ends with a poke at federal education aid debates and looming budget tensions.
