If Men Were Angels: A Review, E. Blythe Stason Oct 1942

If Men Were Angels: A Review, E. Blythe Stason

Michigan Law Review

Occasionally one encounters a new book that is genuinely interesting because of the refreshing vigor with which it attacks an important and timely problem.

Railroads - Abandonment - Power Of Interstate Commerce Commission To Authorize Abandonment Subject To Conditions For Protection Of Employees, Robert D. Ulrich

Michigan Law Review

The railroad applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to carry out a general program of rearrangement involving the abandonment of certain lines. The union appeared, and contended that if the commission were to grant the order, it should incorporate conditions for the benefit of employees who would be displaced or otherwise prejudiced by the abandonment. The commission permitted the abandonment, but held that it was without authority to impose any conditions for the protection of employees. The federal district court held that the commission had authority to impose the requested conditions; on appeal, held, it is within …

Nlrb Back Pay As A Problem Of Administrative Interpretation Under The Social Security Act, Michael Fooner

Michigan Law Review

For several years the question whether NLRB back pay should be deemed "wages" under various administrative aspects of the Social Security Act has been a recurring issue. It is one which is periodically tried in the administrative offices of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, of the Social Security Board, and of the various state unemployment compensation commissions. As far as this writer has been able to determine, the question has been taken to the courts in only one instance, the New York Supreme Court, on appeal from decision of the unemployment insurance administrative and appeal agencies of that state. The …

Price Control - Problems Of The Over-All Ceiling - Rent Control - Rationing, Samuel D. Estep, George T. Schilling, James L. Mccrystal

Michigan Law Review

Three months after the passage of the Emergency Price Control Act a partial and selective approach to the problem of price control has been abandoned and a comprehensive over-all ceiling has been put into effect. The economic forces generated by total war have quickly proved too powerful for the limited controls originally planned. As a result, a sweeping program of governmental control over the economic life of the nation has been instituted, with consequences too complex and far-reaching to be foreseen in any detail.

Constitutional Law -- Due Process -- Price-Fixing, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

A Nebraska statute required the licensing of private employment agencies and limited maximum compensation for services rendered to ten per cent of the first month's salary or wages of the person for whom employment was obtained. In this case the Secretary of Labor of Nebraska refused to issue a license because of the applicant's refusal to limit its compensation to the statutory maximum. In a suit for a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel the issuing of the license, the Secretary of Labor relied on the statute. In reliance on Ribnik v. McBride, the Supreme Court of Nebraska, with …
