Labor Law - Constitutionality Of State Anti-Injunction Acts - Existence Of A "Labor Dispute", Theodore R. Vogt Jun 1937

Labor Law - Constitutionality Of State Anti-Injunction Acts - Existence Of A "Labor Dispute", Theodore R. Vogt

Michigan Law Review

Organized labor has long contested the use of the injunction in labor disputes and since the turn of the century has been active in legislative circles to secure statutory relief from the paralyzing effect of the too-freely granted temporary injunction and restraining order. A substantial step forward was the enactment of the Clayton Act by Congress. Similar legislation was adopted by several states, some before and some after the congressional action. However, the expected benefits to labor did not accrue, for the Supreme Court in Duplex Printing Press Co. v. Deering so narrowly construed the statute as to rob it …


Constitutional Law - Validity Of Minimum Wage Legislation Under The Fourteenth Amendment, Jack L. White Jun 1937

Constitutional Law - Validity Of Minimum Wage Legislation Under The Fourteenth Amendment, Jack L. White

Michigan Law Review

A state statute provided that it should be unlawful to employ women at wages not adequate for their maintenance, and established a commission to fix wages according to such a standard after a public hearing and a conference of representatives of employees and employers, and disinterested persons representing the public. The appellee was employed as a chambermaid in the hotel of appellant at less than the minimum wage prescribed, and brought suit to recover the difference between these amounts. The state court gave judgment for the appellee, and on certiorari the Supreme Court held that the statute was valid and …


Businesses Subject To The National Labor Relations Act, Joseph H. Mueller Jun 1937

Businesses Subject To The National Labor Relations Act, Joseph H. Mueller

Michigan Law Review

Justice Holmes once remarked that, "the life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience." This observation is illustrated in a striking manner by the recent change in the attitude of the Supreme Court with respect to Congressional regulation of labor relations in the field of production. Holding that the National Labor Relations Act applied to the steel, automobile, and clothing industries, as well as to the agencies of interstate commerce, the Court restated existing doctrine relating to interstate commerce, giving it new direction and content.


Labor Law -- Legal Status Of Sit-Down Strike -- Legal And Equitable Remedies, Charles C. Spangenberg Jun 1937

Labor Law -- Legal Status Of Sit-Down Strike -- Legal And Equitable Remedies, Charles C. Spangenberg

Michigan Law Review

The country finds itself infected with a strike rash. Conditions are now like those which previously have resulted in this state of affairs. The midtide of recovery from a depression low has brought rising prices, freer spending, business increase, and speeded up production, but only incomplete relief to labor from depression hours and wages and the later speed-up. Such traditional causes of strikes have been coupled with a new demand for labor recognition. Moreover, a strike now has a much greater chance of success than it would have had at any time within the past several years--a potent stimulant to …

Master And Servant - Action By Employer Against Chauffeur, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The owner of an automobile suffered personal injury and injury to his car when his chauffeur ran into another vehicle. Held, in overruling defendant's demurrer, that an employer has a cause of action against his chauffeur for negligence, there being no grounds. of policy against such an action and there being no joint enterprise and hence no negligence imputed to the employer. Darman v. Zilch, (R. I. 1936) 186 A. 21.


Constitutional Law -- Interstate Commerce -- Validity Of Federal Statute Prohibiting Interstate Shipment Of Prison-Made Goods, Joseph H. Mueller Feb 1937

Constitutional Law -- Interstate Commerce -- Validity Of Federal Statute Prohibiting Interstate Shipment Of Prison-Made Goods, Joseph H. Mueller

Michigan Law Review

The recent decision of the Supreme Court in Kentucky Whip & Collar Co. v. Illinois Central R. R., provides an effective method of circumventing the doctrine of Hammer v. Dagenhart, which held that Congress may not prohibit the interstate transportation of commodities which are harmless except for their economic effect in the state of destination. It is hailed by the advocates of reform as furnishing an avenue of approach to such problems as the regulation of minimum wages and hours and child labor.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a consulting engineer, had developed a clientele affording him a weekly income of $200, and was considering Purdue University's attractive offer of an associate professorship.

Labor Law - Injunctions - Peaceful Picketing In The Absence Of A Strike, Milton Rabinowitz Dec 1936

Labor Law - Injunctions - Peaceful Picketing In The Absence Of A Strike, Milton Rabinowitz

Michigan Law Review

Defendant union picketed in an orderly manner to secure the cooperation of plaintiff's employees in the unionization of his open shop establishment. Plaintiff had apparently been unopposed to such unionization but, when his employees failed to respond to defendant's solicitations, had declined to encourage it in any way. Held, defendants, their agents, etc., enjoined from picketing plaintiff's place of business. Safeway Store, Inc. v. Retail Clerks' Union, 184 Wash. 322, 51 P. (2d) 372 (1935).


The Fiction Of Peaceful Picketing, Frank E. Cooper Nov 1936

The Fiction Of Peaceful Picketing, Frank E. Cooper

Michigan Law Review

Efforts of labor organizations during the past decade to secure the enactment of legislation guaranteeing strikers the privilege of peaceably picketing their employers' places of business, appear to have gained for union members no more than a Pyrrhic victory. Although at least nineteen states now have statutes intended to prohibit judicial interference with peaceful picketing, a review of recent cases in this ever timely field indicates that in general such laws have been construed to limit the privileges of pickets to activities so pusillanimous as to be of little aid to the strikers and of little annoyance to employers. In …


Constitutional Law-Police Power -Validity Of Compulsory Unemployment Insurance Act Jun 1936

Constitutional Law-Police Power -Validity Of Compulsory Unemployment Insurance Act

Michigan Law Review

Complainants asked for a declaratory judgment that the New York Unemployment Insurance Act is unconstitutional. They contended that the law, providing for the payment of limited unemployment benefits out of a fund raised by a uniform payroll tax imposed on all employers, takes property without due process of law. Held, that the law is valid, violating neither the state nor the Federal Constitution. W. H. H. Chamberlain, Inc. v. Andrews, 271 N. Y. 1, 2 N. E. (2d) 22 (1936).


Constitutional Law - Minimum Wage Decision - Future Of Legislation By States Jun 1936

Constitutional Law - Minimum Wage Decision - Future Of Legislation By States

Michigan Law Review

The shadow of a thirteen-year old decision which many had hoped was laid forever again fell upon the field of minimum wage legislation as the Supreme Court invalidated the New York minimum wage law for women. With this holding, which came as a surprise to many, the issue of the constitutionality of minimum wage legislation was again thrust into the limelight, and with the two great political parties wrestling with the problem of party programs, the decision may have political repercussions, of a force as yet incalculable. Before considering the future of minimum wage legislation, let us take a brief …

Constitutional Law - Regulation Of Employment Agencies - Denial Of License Where Field Is Overcrowded Dec 1935

Constitutional Law - Regulation Of Employment Agencies - Denial Of License Where Field Is Overcrowded

Michigan Law Review

A Minnesota statute required the Industrial Commission to refuse to license an employment agency whenever the Commission should find "that the number of licensed employment agents . . . in the community in which the applicant for a permit proposes to operate is sufficient to supply the needs of employers and employees." Plaintiff's application was denied because the Commission found that sufficient agencies existed in the city of Duluth. In an appeal from a mandamus proceeding the Supreme Court of Minnesota held, Deveny, C. J., dissenting, that the statute denied plaintiff due process of law. The court reached this …
