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 …

Some Questions Involved In The Application Of The "Public Interest" Doctrine, Dexter Merriam Keezer Apr 1927

Some Questions Involved In The Application Of The "Public Interest" Doctrine, Dexter Merriam Keezer

Michigan Law Review

It is just fifty years since the United States Supreme Court, in the now famous case of Munn v. Illinois, first gave sanction in this country to the doctrine that an enterprise may become "affected with a public interest," and in consequence be subject to public regulation. During the half century which has followed the decision in that case, the application of the doctrine has been steadily expanded, bringing within its scope an increasing range and diversity of enterprises. There is basis in economic fact for the belief that the classification of enterprises held to be "affected with a …

Early American Price-Fixing Legislation, Arthur S. Aiton Nov 1926

Early American Price-Fixing Legislation, Arthur S. Aiton

Michigan Law Review

One of the most pernicious delusions of legislators is the persistent notion that the enactment of a law is the panacea for any human ill from short sheets in hotels to the immodesty of certain styles of female apparel. The history of law-making is strewn with the wreckage of freak legislation of this character but the law-mills, heedless of the past, continue to spew forth new monstrosities and to revive old failures. That the human family cannot be legislated into a set mold of behavior and that the economic laws which underlie trade and intercourse cannot be enacted out of …

Unfair Competition-Fixing Resale Price May 1926

Unfair Competition-Fixing Resale Price

Michigan Law Review

With the development of our economic structure new problems have constantly arisen to harass the governmental agencies which have sought to protect the public from being dominated by successful traders. Apprehension of the dangers of monopolistic control have lead both courts and legislative bodies to place a ban upon attempts to create monopolies by artificial combinations. The purpose was to give the people a market in which prices would be controlled by the relation of supply to demand, by forcing independent tradesmen into competition with each other. The effect of this plan was to delay the coming of a time …

Survivor Of Actions Under The Sherman Anti-Trust Act Feb 1926

Survivor Of Actions Under The Sherman Anti-Trust Act

Michigan Law Review

The question of survival of actions ex delicto following the death of a party thereto has caused no small amount of litigation, and in actions under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, due to the large sums that are always involved and a consequent desire on the part of the plaintiff to reach all possible sources of compensation, the problem assumes a peculiar importance. Section 7 of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act simply provides that, "Any person who shall be injured in his business or property by any other person or corporation by reason of anything forbidden or declared to be unlawful by …

Constitutional Law-Jury Trial For Contempt-Constitutionality Of Clayton Act

Michigan Law Review

The defendants, striking employees of a railway company, were proceeded against in a federal district court for contempt in violating a preliminary injunction, and demanded a jury trial under the Clayton Act (c. 323, 38 STAT. 738, sec. 21, 22), which provides that in cases of wilful disobedience of "any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of any District court of the United States or any court of the District of Columbia by doing any act or thing" forbidden, if such act or thing also constitutes a criminal offense under any statute of the United States or law …

Conclusiveness Of The Federal Trade Commission's Findings As To Facts, Gregory Hankin Jan 1925

Conclusiveness Of The Federal Trade Commission's Findings As To Facts, Gregory Hankin

Michigan Law Review

The Federal Trade Commission Act and the Clayton Act provide that the Commission's findings as to facts, if supported by testimony, shall be conclusive. Now that the Commission has functioned for almost ten years and a considerable number of its findings have been reviewed by the courts, it is interesting to examine the effect of this statutory provision. In other words, are the findings of the Federal Trade Commission as to facts, if supported by testimony, actually conclusive on the courts when appeal is taken to the Circuit Court of Appeals? This we shall discuss apart from the question--"What, as …

Trade Competition--Effect Of Motive Nov 1923

Trade Competition--Effect Of Motive

Michigan Law Review

Does the motive with which one enters into what is ostensibly trade competition with a business rival have any significance in the law? Motive is used, following Judge Smith's careful limitation of the term, to signify the feeling which makes the actor desire to obtain the result aimed at. A conclusion that motive is immaterial in this connection can be sustained by formal logic. A man has a "right'' to engage in business, even though his rival be injured thereby. One may exercise a legal right, regardless of his motives in doing so. Therefore, business competition, if the methods be …

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.

Procedure And Practice Before The Federal Trade Commission, John Leland Mechem Dec 1922

Procedure And Practice Before The Federal Trade Commission, John Leland Mechem

Michigan Law Review

The Federal Trade Commission, now in its eighth year, has successfully withstood the attacks, judicial and political, which threatened at times to destroy it, or, at least, to render it impotent. The act creating it has been held constitutional; its powers and duties have been defined; the present administration has indorsed it; and the public have come to realize its power for good. As its activities have expanded its influence has become definitely felt by the business world. The increasing interest of both business men and members of the profession warrants a brief exposition of the practice before the Commission, …

The Supreme Court's Adjudication Of Constitutional Issues In 1921-1922, Ii, Thomas Reed Powell

Michigan Law Review

Questions of discrimination in rates or services arising under the Interstate Commerce Act or some of its amendments came before the court in a number of cases without raising any direct constitutional issues. Such an issue, however, was urged against a refusal of the Interstate Commerce Commission to allow a tap line owned by a Lumber company more than $3 per car as its share of the joint rate for traffic over it and the main line, but in Louisiana & P. B. Ry. Co. v. United States the claim that this restriction was so arbitrary as to deny the …

Carriers - Second Cummins Amendment - It was seven years after the Carmack Amendment of the Hepburn Act of i9o6 before the Supreme Court began that series of decisions, extending from Adams Express Co. v. Croninger, 226 U. S. 491 (1913), to George N. Pierce Co. v. Wells, Fargo & Co., 236 U. S. 278 (1915), which directly resulted in the First Cummins Amendment of March, 1915. One has only to read those cases, reviewed in 13 Micn. L. REv. 59o, and other notes referred to in 17 MICH. L. Rzv. 183, to see that the language of the Cummins …

Boycott - Clayton Act - In Duplex Printing Press Company v. Deering et al. (January 3, 192I) 41 S.

Purchasers furnish workmen, but ordinary mechanics alone are not competent to do this, and so they are supervised by specially skilled machinists furnished by plaintiffs. The plaintiffs have always operated on the "open shop" plan, without discrimination against union or non-union labor, either at …

The Commodity Clause Of The Hepburn Act, Edwin C. Goddard

Articles

The Supreme Court of the United States has added another to the interesting line of cases construing the so-called "Commodity Clause" of the HEPBURN ACT of 1906. In United States v. Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Co. and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Coal Co., decided on June 21, 1915, 35 Sup. Ct. 873, the court reversed the decree of the District Court as reported in 213 Fed. 240, and found the relation and contract between the Railroad Company and the Coal Company to be in violation of the HEPBURN ACT and the SHERMAN ACT.

New Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, Clarence E. Eldridge Dec 1914

New Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, Clarence E. Eldridge

Michigan Law Review

What has been said in the preceding part of this discussion addresses itself to the proposition that the SHERMAN Act does not mean what the District Court assumed it to mean. Naturally, such a negative discussion must be preliminary to a consideration of the more .comprehensive question "What does the SHERMAN ACT mean?" For, of course, even if the theory of the law upon which the District Court based its judgment was erroneous, still that fact would be of little or no practical importance if any tenable theory of the law were to justify the judgment.

Michigan Law Review

Paul and the other apostles were brought before the Council of Israel for preaching the doctrines of Christ contrary to the mandates of that body. Gamaliel, a Pharisee and a doctor of the law, stood up in the Council and said: "Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought; but if it be of God, ye can not overthrow it; lest haply …

Recent Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, George W. Wichersham Nov 1911

Recent Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, George W. Wichersham

Michigan Law Review

The only legitimate end and object of all government is the greatest good of the greatest number of the people. The means by which this end is attained vary in accordance with the experience and the temperament of the people. Government is necessarily more or less of an experiment at all times, but as men have been making similar experiments ever since the dawn of recorded history, the waste of repeating unsuccessful experiments of the past may be avoided by studying the records of the results of earlier effort; and, other things being equal, all thoughtful persons will agree, that …
