Due Process Of Law In State Labor Legislation, Fowler Vincent Harper Jun 1928

Due Process Of Law In State Labor Legislation, Fowler Vincent Harper

Michigan Law Review

With this material in mind, is it possible to arrive at any useful conclusions as to what constitutes due process of law in labor legislation? In each group of cases, there seem to be two distinct, though inseparable functions of the judicial process of reviewing the legislation in question. The courts, in brief, are arriving at conclusions both of fact and of law. The impression was, at one time prevalent that the extent of review of certain types of labor legislation was limited to the reasonableness of the' statute as respects the end sought and the means of attaining that …


Due Process Of Law In State Labor Legislation, Fowler Vincent Harper May 1928

Due Process Of Law In State Labor Legislation, Fowler Vincent Harper

Michigan Law Review

State interference with conditions of employment, as determined by the strength of the contracting parties, by imposing requirements calculated to protect the safety and health of employees, has not been without interruption from the courts. In the earlier cases, when organized labor was not strong enough to enforce the most reasonable demands without assistance from the legislature, the courts were wont to look with astute eye upon the infringement of liberty of contract thus resulting. When the reasoning started with the assumption that liberty of contract was the rule and the employment of the police power of the State the …


Due Process Of Law In State Labor Legislation, Fowler Vincent Harper Apr 1928

Due Process Of Law In State Labor Legislation, Fowler Vincent Harper

Michigan Law Review

Any regulation on the part of the state of the relations between the laborer and his employer must necessarily deprive the one or the other of his liberty or property, by interfering with his freedom to contract. The protection of freedom of contract which the Constitution affords is not, however, an absolute right. There is nothing necessarily unconstitutional about such legislation unless it is "without due process of law." In other words, legislation of this kind is usually a valid regulation if it can be justified as coming within the due process of law provision.

Injunction In Labor Disputes--Anti-Trust Laws--"Secondary Boycott". Dec 1927

Injunction In Labor Disputes--Anti-Trust Laws--"Secondary Boycott".

Michigan Law Review

Since the passing of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act in 1890 there has been an enormous increase in litigation concerning the trade union and its activities. When the Supreme Court in the Danbury Hatters' case8 held that labor organizations were included in the provisions of the Sherman Act, and that the so-called "secondary boycott"' was a violation of the terms of this act, labor felt that it had lost a very effective weapon and at once began to fear that the very existence of the labor union was in danger. Not having much hope of relief from the courts, the forces …

Power Of Corporation To Discharge Those Employed Under Contract For Term Of Years, W. Harold Hutchinson May 1926

Power Of Corporation To Discharge Those Employed Under Contract For Term Of Years, W. Harold Hutchinson

Washington Law Review

This note will be limited to an exposition of the law of the state of Washington with only a brief reference to that of foreign states. Unfortunately for the prospective employee of a Washington corporation, the right to discharge him, even though employed under written contract for a term of years, is regulated by statute. The pertinent clause reads that the corporation shall have power "to appoint such officers, agents, and servants as the business of the corporation shall require, to define their powers, prescribe their duties, and to fix their compensation."


Constitutional Law-Due Process-Compulsory Arbitration Under Kansas Industrial Relations Act Nov 1925

Constitutional Law-Due Process-Compulsory Arbitration Under Kansas Industrial Relations Act

Michigan Law Review

Another interesting chapter has been written in the legal history of the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations, that most interesting attempt to substitute judicial methods for the present condition of strife in the field of industrial dispute, and to recognize the rights of the public as an interested third party in such disputes. In Wolff Packing Co. v. Court of Industrial Relations, U. S. Sup. Ct., Oct. Term, 1924, Nos. 207 and 299, 45 S. Ct. Rep. 441, the Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the Industrial Relations Act, c. 29, LAWS 1920 (KANSAS), SPECIAL SESSION, …

Labor Legislation Under The Treaty Power Mar 1924

Labor Legislation Under The Treaty Power

Michigan Law Review

Does the treaty making power of the United States offer a method of enacting constitutionally valid federal laws, which under other delegated federal powers would be unconstitutional? The Constitution of the United States provides: Art. II, §2 (2) "He (the president) shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur * * *·" Art I, §8 (18) That Congress shall have power "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this …

Constitutional Law--Due Process--Kansas Industrial Court Dec 1923

Constitutional Law--Due Process--Kansas Industrial Court

Michigan Law Review

Has the State power to regulate wages and to secure continuity of functioning in essential industries? The U. S. Supreme Court, in Wolff Packing Co. v. Court of Industrial Relations of Kansas, -- U. S. -- Adv. Op. June 11, 1923, says no, at least as to individuals or corporations, engaged in the production of food, but not strong enough to dominate or control the industry. The case involves the validity, under the Federal Constitution, of the Kansas Act establishing the Court of Industrial Relations, referred to hereinafter as the "Industrial Court." Special Session Laws of Kansas, 1920, Chap. …


Constitutional Law--Minimum Wage Law For Women As A Violation Of The Fifth Amendment Jun 1923

Constitutional Law--Minimum Wage Law For Women As A Violation Of The Fifth Amendment

Michigan Law Review

The advance of so-called social legislation within the last several decades has furnished an intensely interesting period in constitutional and industrial development. The last skirmish with the fast-disappearing forces of logic and anachronistic formalism seems to have been fought in the recent case of Adkins v. Lyons (April 9, 1923), U. S. Adv. Ops. 795 and 796.


Boycott--Conclusions Or Emotions May 1923

Boycott--Conclusions Or Emotions

Michigan Law Review

One fertile source of friction growing out of the eternal struggle between capital and labor is the boycott. Standing out in definite relief for scarcely more than a generation, its effectiveness has led to interminable litigation. As might be expected, the boycott pronouncements of the courts in this formative period have had to undergo the most searching challenge and scrutiny. That this scrutiny will be focused upon the results of the recent first impression case before the Iowa supreme court cannot be doubted. See Ellis v. Journeyman Barbers I. U. of America (Iowa, 1922), 191. N. W. III.

The Supreme Court's Adjudication Of Constitutional Issues In 1921-1922, Iii Jan 1923

The Supreme Court's Adjudication Of Constitutional Issues In 1921-1922, Iii

Michigan Law Review

The conundrum, "When is a tax not a tax?" received in Bailey v. Drexel Furniture Co. the answer: When from the face of the statute it appears that a prohibitory or regulatory penalty has been imposed for a departure from a detailed and specified course of conduct in business. Over the dissent of Mr. Justice Clarke, the court condemned as not an exercise of the federal taxing power a provision in the Revenue Act of 1918 imposing an excise of ten per cent of the net profits on all enterprises employing children under designated ages or in excess of designated …


Labor And The Law In The Public Utility Field, George Jarvis Thompson Nov 1922

Labor And The Law In The Public Utility Field, George Jarvis Thompson

Michigan Law Review

To the cynical this title may suggest a rhetorical antithesis, and the average citizen cannot but be a bit cynical as a result of his observation and experience of the actuality of the failure of the law to function for the preservation of the continuity of these essential public services in the frequently recurring outbreaks between organized capital and organized labor. In a great measure, he has only himself to blame for this unfortunate condition. He lent ear to the vote-seeking politician and to the propaganda of the interested parties, taking sides with one or the other without thought of …


Constitutional Law-Tax On Employment Of Child Labor Nov 1922

Constitutional Law-Tax On Employment Of Child Labor

Michigan Law Review

The federal Child Labor Tax Law, Act of February 24, 1919, levied a tax of ten per cent on the net income of persons employing child labor. The act exempts from its operation employers who do not know the child employee to be under age. It also provides for the appointment of inspectors by the Secretary of Labor.


The Railway Strike Injunction Nov 1922

The Railway Strike Injunction

Michigan Law Review

The bill in this case was filed by the United States of America against various labor organizations, and officers of such organizations, concerned in the strike of railway shopmen. It alleged (in brief) a conspiracy on the part of defendants to compel the railroads to disregard the wage decision of the Labor Board, by obstructing the transportation of passengers and property in interstate commerce and the carriage of the mails. A temporary restraining order was issued on September 1, and a temporary injunction on September 25. None of the defendants answered the bill, but two of them appeared, moving to …
