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 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
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 …
Labor Law - Jurisdiction Of Courts Over Actions By Member Against Union - Necessity Of Exhausting Trade Union And Adminstrative Remedies, John W. Potter
Labor Law - Jurisdiction Of Courts Over Actions By Member Against Union - Necessity Of Exhausting Trade Union And Adminstrative Remedies, John W. Potter
Michigan Law Review
In cases involving the discipline of union members by a trade union, and the member's right of redress for such disciplinary action, one of the most consistently quoted maxims is that the remedies offered by the union must be exhausted before the court will assume jurisdiction. Imbued with the desire to do justice, courts have made many exceptions to the general rule, and the problem presented is when the courts will require the exhaustion of internal remedies.
Quasi-Contracts - Recovery By Donor Of Charitable Relief From Paupers And Their Estates, James L. Mccrystal
Quasi-Contracts - Recovery By Donor Of Charitable Relief From Paupers And Their Estates, James L. Mccrystal
Michigan Law Review
The question whether or not a pauper or his estate assumes an obligation to reimburse the donor of charitable relief has been subject to many varied and inconsistent answers. Most of the cases in this field are not distinguishable on their facts, and hence the inability to reconcile them must be laid to the differences in the reasoning of the courts in their attempts to handle these cases more from a sociological approach than from a legal point of view. In discussing this problem it is desirable to place these cases in three principal classes: (1) where relief is given …

Corporate Proxies, Leonard H. Axe
Corporate Proxies, Leonard H. Axe
Michigan Law Review
The earlier forms of corporations in England seem to have been political units and the normal mode of conferring corporate rights was by an issue of a charter from the crown, whereby a body of individuals was designated a corporation with the sovereign power to exercise appropriate privileges. Since the charter was issued by the crown, the corporation was considered a part of the government and each member of the corporation was entitled to one vote if given by him in person. As one writer has so well stated, this "was the result of a political philosophy which assumed that …
Michigan Legal Studies: A Review, Max Rheinstein
Michigan Legal Studies: A Review, Max Rheinstein
Michigan Law Review
To the knowledge of this reviewer, the relation between printers' wages and the development of the law has not yet been investigated. This problem is by no means so absurd as it may sound. The very principle of stare decisis presupposes the existence of the printing press, a high development of the art of indexing, a well-organized book trade and a price level under which reports and search books are accessible to the members of the legal profession. Treatises and other learned discussions cannot influence legal developments where printing costs are prohibitive. Yet, the extent to which a legal system …
Patents - Validity Of Contracts To Assign Employee's Future Inventions To Employer, Lloyd M. Forster
Patents - Validity Of Contracts To Assign Employee's Future Inventions To Employer, Lloyd M. Forster
Michigan Law Review
The relative rights of employer and employee to the fruits of the employee's inventive genius have become increasingly important. In deciding these rights the courts have shown a marked tendency to favor the employee, possibly to compensate for the superior bargaining power of the employer. They have been anxious to limit the rights in the employer implied by the relationship of the parties. Contractual ambiguities have been construed in favor of the employee to a far greater extent than is called for by the rule of construction against the party drawing the contract. Unusual rights in the employer must be …
Price Control - Problems Of The Over-All Ceiling - Rent Control - Rationing, Samuel D. Estep, George T. Schilling, James L. Mccrystal
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.

Carriers - Motor Carrier Act - Contract Carrier Permits Under The "Grandfather Clause", William H. Shipley, Jay W. Sorge
Michigan Law Review
The Rosenblum Truck Lines and Manhattan Truck Lines applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for contract carrier permits under the so-called "grandfather clause" of the Motor Carrier Act of 1935. Prior to July 1, 1935, the applicants hauled only for common carriers by motor vehicle and, in each case, principally for a single common carrier. The freight so handled was always solicited by a common carrier and accumulated at its terminal. The applicants carried only the overflow freight, employing their own insurance and paying their own operating and maintenance costs. The Interstate Commerce Commission's finding that the applicants' equipment was …

Corporations - Voting Trusts - Power Of Voting Trustee To Elect Directors And Officers For Period Extending Beyond Termination Of Trust, Andrew J. Sawyer, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Defendants held all the stock of a corporation as voting trustees under a voting trust which provided that it should terminate November 18, 1941, and that the trustees should deliver the stock to the holders of the participation certificates within thirty days thereafter. The agreement further provided that the trustees might elect themselves directors and officers of the corporation. At the time of the execution of the agreement, the by-laws of the corporation provided for annual shareholders' meetings in March. In 1939, defendant trustees, who had elected themselves directors and officers of the corporation, amended the by-laws to require the …

Criminal Law And Procedure - Statutes-Constitutionality Of Criminal Penalties For Unreasonable Deductions Under Federal Income Tax Statute, William H. Shipley
Michigan Law Review
Defendant was indicted for attempting to evade the federal tax on the income of a certain corporation for the years 1933 to 1936. In providing for deductions from gross income, the statute permits a reasonable allowance for salaries or other compensation for personal services. The government charged that the defendant was a party to a fraudulent scheme whereby, under the guise of paying commissions for services, which commissions were · deducted from gross income, the corporation distributed profits to its stockholders. The trial court submitted to the jury the issue whether the deduction represented a reasonable allowance for the services …
