Shaft, assistant state attorney gen- eral. Replying to a query from Rep- resentative W. J. Flannigan, James: town, Mr. Shaft said it was his opin- ion that car distributors are engaged in interstate commerce. “The Power to regulate the agencies} and instrumentalities of interstate) commerce,” Mr. Shaft’s opinion said, “rests primarily in the congress of the United States and the state has no authority over such matters except act, and to make necessary regula- tions for the health, safety and gen- eral welfare of its people under its) Police power.” The federal government, Mr. Shaft said, has not seen fit to make use of its authority in the case of car dis- tributors and that in the absence of regulation by an act of congress the state has authority to regulate the hours of labor of such employes.
