Cannon Charges La Follette Work Relief Plan Unconstitutional
Milwaukee congressman Raymond J. Cannon said Governor Philip F. La Follette's work relief plan is unconstitutional. At a joint legislative hearing, chamber spokesmen asked for a three week delay to study the banking agency created by the bill and other legal questions. Cannon argued the act vests state functions in a private corporation, a move he said may defy constitutional control and set poor laborers at risk. La Follette planned another radio address tonight from 7 to 7:15 p.m. on WTMJ WIBA and WHA.
