Life and Labor My '17 p 74-5 United States supreme court on March 19, the 1917, upheld the constitutionality of Adamson act, giving Congress the right to fix hours of labor, prescribe rates of wages when employees and employers cannot agree, to arbitrate disputes as to wages in interstate commerce compulsorily, to force interstate railroads to operate their properties regardless of the roads' private interests, to force interstate employees to work where their failure to work would destroy interstate commerce to the public detriment, and to forbid them to leave their jobs. Court held that the act was neither unworkable, confiscatory, experimental nor in excess of congressional railroad regulatory authority, but was compulsory arbitration, a power which Congress has, resulting from its authority to protect interstate merce. The decision gives sanction to sweeping congressional control over many other fields of interstate commerce than those obviously covered by the statute at issue. Administration of estates.
