The increase of 100,000 persons in the city’s population wauld have taxed Washington's resources in any event, but the fact that the govern- ment itself has not sufficient buildings for its clerical force and that many large apartments and dwellings were “commandeered’” and their inhabi- tants added to the swelling ranks of the homeless greatly complicated the situation.

The sccond class, “‘pe- riod of payment,” naturally suggests as sub-hcads, weekly, biweekly and monthly payments. The third c “mode of wage payment,” refe the prohibition of payvment in or orders redeemable in goods whici made possible the evils of the com- pany store; and to the closely re- lated requirement of payment in law- ful money. The final class, “restric- tions in the employment contract,” covers those as to payment to di charged and deceased employes; de- ductions from wages, as for imperfe refusal to pay wages, ar reduc- tion of the rate without notice; place of pavment; weighing and screening of coal in mines, where payment is by the ton mined; and, on the other hand, repayment to employers of advances on contracts for the performance of services—a class of laws, some of which, if upheld and enforced, might have resulted in virtual slavery for the debtors. With reference to each class the laws of foreign countries, partic- ularly England, are reviewed, then thosc of the United States, with spe- cial attention to the decisions of courts as to constitutionality and con- struction, which decisions are tabu- lated and summarized Previous to the con n of the laws in dc labor contract is taken up fram the standpoint of free- dom of contract i its limitations and restrictions. In comparing progress of such legislation in England and in this country, the reasons for our backwardness are found in cor ditions inherent in American jur prudence not flattering ta our system. The limitations of a written constitu- tion, the lack of co-ordination between state and federal courts, and the no- ces in order that the constitu- tionality of a statute may be unques- tioned, that it should have the sanc tion of both state and federal court are commented upon. Emphasis is placed upon the persistence of a na- tural-law or individualistic philosophy in the reasoning of the courts, their adherence to formalism and legal pre- cedent, and finally the rigid and il- logical separation of law and fact, so that, for cxample, a court must de- cide the question of the “reasonable ness" of a law as a legal question, without any machinery for investig tion of the f: In the conclud- ing chapters the “conflict between in- dividualism and social control,” or be- tween theoretical and actual equality is resorted ta. and herc it is shown that the courts have gradually adopt- ed a more liberal policy of interpreta- tion, and that, especially since the be. progr legislatic dency uphold pecial courts aa the w wa —earner tion cach Under to devoted of W age s to sC the author | vears | | | | sions have to a muct recognized the D Jation by the legislatures of labor con- tracts in the interest of the employe, Recent decisions of the Supreme Court in the case upholding the Adam- son law and the Oregon 10-hour and minimum wage law “evidence a clear opriet LW nning of the present century, deci- perception of the rights of the em- FEBRUARY 16, 1918, LA R N — tho public interpreta- gislation is being con- will in view the c 4 tion of tructeq | mutual | ot soci: that inter society.
