Taxation-Federal Income Tax-Strike Insurance Agreements, Robert A. Butler S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Contracts indemnifying persons or corporations for losses and damage resulting from an interruption of business due to strikes have existed at least since the beginning of this century. The Mutual Security Company of Connecticut, for example, wrote such a policy for the Buffalo Forge on April 9, 1906. In more recent times, strike insurance agreements have been instituted in major industries, and their impact on collective bargaining has been the subject of some controversy. The purpose of this comment is to consider the federal income tax questions which arise from such arrangements. Specifically, attention is directed to the deductibility of …

Administrative Law - Procedure - Primary Jurisdiction To Determine Illegality Of Contract Under Shipping Act, Stephen B. Flood

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, an independent shipper, sought review of a Federal Maritime Board order approving under section 15 of the Shipping Act an association's dual-rate contract system found to be "a necessary competitive measure to offset the effect of non-conference competition." The court pf appeals set aside the Board's order on grounds that the system was prohibited by section 14 Third of the same act.

Atomic Energy - Uranium Procurement - Legal Aspects Of The Aec Domestic Ore Purchase Program, Michael Scott S.Ed., Edward M. Heppenstall

Michigan Law Review

The federal government's domestic uranium ore procurement program, initially announced following World War II to ensure maximum exploration and development for military purposes, has met with extraordinary success. So improved is this country's military uranium picture that the Atomic Energy Commission was recently able to announce that uranium concentrate purchases would not be further increased. This announcement is viewed as a matter .of serious concern by the domestic ore producer, who must continue to look to the federal government as his sole market; a noticeable private market for peaceful uses of atomic energy fuels may not be realized for more …

International Law - United Nations - Administrative Tribunals As Adjudicators Of Disputes Arising Out Of Employment Contracts With International Organizations, Edward W. Powers S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

A crucial though relatively unpublicized problem arising from the creation of international organizations is that of establishing and maintaining the staff or secretariat needed to perform the administrative functions of these organizations. Such a staff must possess not only the competence and integrity of a national civil service, but also an international loyalty or outlook which includes " ... an awareness . . . of the needs, emotions, and prejudices of the peoples of differently-circumstanced countries ... [and] a capacity for weighing these frequently imponderable elements in a judicial manner· before reaching any decision to which they are relevant."

Administrative Discretion In The Award Of Federal Contracts, Arthur S. Miller

Michigan Law Review

For our present purposes, the point to be seen is that while this article is inquiring into the question of choice of contractor, the government is largely in control of the other chief attribute of traditional liberty of contract: the terms and conditions of the contract itself. We may thus summarize a first conclusion in the inquiry under consideration in this manner: the government is under no restraint as to many of the terms and conditions of its contracts and may impose those conditions it deems necessary. These are imposed as a result of a statute (an example of …

Administrative Law - Doctrine Of Prior Resort - Resort To The Railway Adjustment Board Before Court Suit, Felicia I. Hmiel

Michigan Law Review

In 1937 the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, a party to a collective bargaining agreement which protected the seniority rights of the company's employees, rehired one of its old employees and put his name on the seniority list ahead of those of the plaintiffs, who were hired in 1924. For breach of the agreement the plaintiffs brought suit in the Georgia court without first applying for relief to the National Railway Adjustment Board, which has jurisdiction over disputes relating to the interpretation and application of such agreements. Held, that the jurisdiction of the board does not prevent recourse to …
