Schecter Poultry vs. U.S. Supreme Court... the beginning of the end of Roosevelt's New Deal...

Item # 727407 ·
CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, May 28, 1935 

* Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States
* re. Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal
* Supreme Court decision (1st report)

Front page has a nice banner headline for display: "COURT KILLS NRA AND CODES with various subheads. (see images) More on page 2. Loads of text. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with all 38 pages, rag edition in very nice condition. A few small binding holes along the spine. 

Background: The May 28, 1935, rag edition of the Chicago Daily Tribune captures one of the most explosive constitutional crises in American history, blaring the historic banner headline "COURT KILLS NRA AND CODES" following a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court decision in Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States. Known historically as "Black Monday," this landmark ruling completely dismantled the National Recovery Administration (NRA), the centerpiece of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, by declaring that the federal government had unconstitutionally overstepped its bounds by unlawfully delegating legislative power to the executive branch and overreaching on its regulation of local interstate commerce. The publication's exhaustive, multi-page coverage documents the sudden, staggering halt to FDR’s early depression-era economic strategy, a momentous shift that rebalanced the separation of powers and ultimately provoked the President's infamous, controversial "court-packing" plan of 1937. Because this specific artifact is a rare "rag edition"—printed on premium cotton paper rather than brittle wood pulp for archival preservation—it survives in exceptional condition, serving as a pristine, permanent historical record of the exact moment the judiciary successfully checked the expansion of modern executive power.
