Conflict Of Laws - Federal Employers Liability Act - Jurisdiction Of State Courts Over Foreign Causes Of Action Between Nonresident Parties, H. F. B.

Michigan Law Review

The historical classification of actions for personal injuries as transitory imposes no limitation upon the prosecution of foreign suits, either by reference to the residence of the parties or the place in which the action arises. Whenever jurisdiction of the person of the defendant is obtained, the power to hear and determine this type of tort action inheres in every court having jurisdiction of the subject matter. An extreme application of the doctrine of the transitory character of personal actions is not infrequently permitted under the statutes as to venue, wherever suits between parties, all of whom are nonresidents of …

Organized Labor And The Recovery Act, Emmett B. Mcnatt

Michigan Law Review

The enactment of the National Industrial Recovery Act last June inevitably has brought to the fore a number of questions which as yet remain unanswered, including those connected with the application and interpretation of Section 7(a) of the Recovery Act, the subject of this article. Under this section, hailed by labor as a "new Magna Charta," employees are apparently given two interrelated rights - the right to organize with no discrimination against them by employers as a result thereof, and the right to collective bargaining through representatives of their own choosing. Employers are prohibited from interfering with such rights through …

Michigan Law Review

The stockholders and officers of the Old South Engraving Company, wishing to escape a contract whereby that corporation was bound to hire only union labor, organized the Old South Photoengraving Corporation which purchased the business of the Engraving Company, giving therefor 9,000 of the issue of 12,000 no-par shares and issuing the rest to the stockholders of the Engraving Company in proportion to their holdings therein. It was announced that the Engraving Company would cease operating Saturday, June 4, and employees were given due notice.

Constitutional Law-Strike As Interference With Interstate Commerce

Michigan Law Review

Whether the federal courts have jurisdiction to apply the mailed fist of the injunction to the settlement of strike disputes sometimes depends on whether the strike is deemed an interference with interstate commerce. Thus, the Supreme Court held in the recent case of Levering & Garrigues v. Morrin that relief must be denied a group of New York structural steel fabricators who sought to enjoin the boycott activities of the iron workers union, because " . . . the sole aim of the conspiracy was to halt or suppress local building operations as a means of compelling the employment of …

National Industrial Recovery Act - President's Re-Employment Agreement - Injunction By Labor Union

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a Wisconsin labor union, was granted a temporary injunction restraining defendant shoe company, a party to the President's Re-employment Agreement, from "further interference with the right of its employes to organize into unions of their own free will and choice" and from "interfering with . . . the freedom of its employes in the designation of representatives of their own choice for the purpose of bargaining collectively" with the company. The court decided that defendant had violated its agreement with the President to comply with section 7 (a) of the National Industrial Recovery Act. This last was based on …

Torts - Principal And Agent - Liability For Negligent Driving

Michigan Law Review

Defendant company's salesman, driving his own car while selling defendant's washing-machines on a commission basis over a large territory, and with no regulation by the defendant except as to the terms of the contracts the salesman might make, negligently collided with plaintiff's car. Held, a salesman driving his own car, with no more supervision than existed here, is an independent contractor for whose negligence his employer is not liable. Stockwell v. Morris, (Wyo. 1933) 22 Pac. (2d) 189.

Contracts - Duration Of Employment When No Time Is Specified

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff, claiming a contract from year to year, sued to recover for the unexpired portion of the second year of his employment which defendant had terminated. The offer, made and accepted by mail, was for "the position of General Sales Manager at a salary of $15,000 per year to begin with . . . .

Municipal Corporations - Effect Of The Lowest Responsible Bidder Statutes On "Local Labor" Provisions

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff, a taxpayer, brought a bill to prevent the defendant from carrying out a contract with a certain construction company. The plaintiff alleged that the requirement in the proposal for bids that all laborers should have been residents of Delaware for at least six months prior to the awarding of the contract violated the lowest responsible bidder statute. Held, it not having been shown that the requirement would, as a matter pf fact, increase the cost, it therefore did not violate the statute, Ebbeson v. The Board of Public Education in Wilmington, (Del. 1931) 156 Atl. 286.

Contracts-Beneficiaries-Right Of Employee To Sue On A Contract Made Between Employer And Union

Michigan Law Review

Defendant agreed with an employees' union that its employees would not be discharged without cause or without a hearing. The plaintiff, who entered into an employment contract with the defendant for an indefinite term, was discharged by the latter without a hearing, and sued as a third party beneficiary for breach of the defendant's agreement with the union. Held, in Johnson v. Am. Ry Express Co., that this agreement was a valid third party beneficiary contract, and so enforcible by the plaintiff who was one of the parties intended to be benefited by it.

Labor Injunctions-Federal Statute Defining And Limiting The Jurisdiction Of Courts Sitting In Equity

Michigan Law Review

The latest effort of organized labor to protect itself against judicial interference in industrial disputes is to be found in the Norris anti-injunction bill, passed by Congress early this year and signed by the President on March 23, 1932. Its object is to limit the powers of federal courts at law and in equity, and chiefly to regulate the grant of federal injunctions in labor disputes. Similar legislation, state and federal, has encountered many obstacles, either by way of restrictive interpretation or through constitutional limitations. It is, therefore, interesting to examine not only the main provisions of the Norris Act …
