REVIEW OF LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1926
INTRODUCTION
Legislative sessions were held in 1926 in 16 States, in 6 of which
the session was special or extraordinary, besides the regular session
of the Sixty-ninth Congress. No legislatures in extra session except
those of Texas and Washington enacted labor legislation, nor did the
Legislature of South Carolina in regular session. Owing to a change
in its constitution, Maryland had no legislative session in 1926, but
will have in 1927. An extraordinary session of the Legislature of
Florida, held late in 1925, enacted a single statute requiring notice.
Except for a very few outstanding acts, the year’s output is lack­
ing in both volume and importance, the exceptions being the railway-labor act passed by Congress in conformity with the expressed
agreement between the employers and employees affected, and the
New Jersey statute regulating the issue of injunctions in labor dis­
putes, though o f the latter it may be said that it goes but a little way,
if at all, beyond the court practice in several jurisdictions.
A standard law as to counter-floors in building operations in cities
of the first and second class in Kentucky, a fire-escape law in Louis­
iana, and safety and sanitation amendments in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island mark progress in these fields, as do woman and child
labor laws in Louisiana, Rhode Island, and Virginia.
The obligations of contractors for wage and other debts were legis­
lated upon in Kentucky and Louisiana, while Virginia revived and
revised its laws as to the liability of railroad companies for injuries
to their employees.
Mississippi repealed its antitipping law, leaving Illinois the only
State now having a law on this subject, and its law is regulatory
rather than prohibitive.
As was the case with Bulletin No. 403, Labor Legislation of 1925,
the current bulletin is essentially a supplement to Bulletin No. 370,
entitled u Labor Laws of the United States, with Decisions of Courts
Relating Thereto,” embodying all legislation under the head indi­
cated, with the exception of workmen’s compensation laws, up to the
beginning of the year 1925. As in Bulletin No. 370 certain classes
of laws were presented in brief or by a representative or typical law,
so in the current bulletin the classification there adopted is retained.
This results in two parts, one entitled “ Digests and summaries of
certain classes of laws affecting labor,” and the other, “ Text and

LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1926

abridgment of labor laws.” In Part I I are to be found the laws of
more specific interest and less generally standardized, though use is
also made of representative laws, as in the case of laws regulating
the employment of children and mine regulations, which are quite
extensive and in which legislation has been closely formulated along
lines generally accepted. It has also frequently occurred that the
changes made by amendments of 1926 are briefly stated, instead of
the entire section affected being reproduced.
A cumulative index provides references to this and the basic
bulletin (No. 370), together with that for 1925.
As has been done for some years past, workmen’s compensation
legislation is treated separately and omitted from the general legis­
lative bulletin. A new compilation of the laws on this subject has
just been issued by this bureau (Bulletin No. 423).
TEXAS
FIRST CALLED SESSION-1926
[The acts of the first called session of the thirty-ninth Legislature of Texas
were received too late for presentation in proper sequence. The only act classi­
fiable as labor legislation is chapter 7, which provides for the appropriation of
license fees from private employment agencies for the use of the commissioner
of labor of the State in the enforcement of the labor laws and the performance
of other duties devolving on said official.]




PART L— DIGESTS AND SUMMARIES OF CERTAIN

LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1926

23

adjustment through mediation shall be unsuccessful, the said board shall at
once endeavor as its final reguired action (except as provided in paragraph
third of this section and in section 10 of this act), to induce the parties to
submit their controversy to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of
this act.
Second. In any case in which a controversy arises over the meaning or
the application of any agreement reached through mediation under the pro­
visions of this act, either party to the said agreement, or both, may apply to
the Board of Mediation for an interpretation as to the meaning or application
of such agreement. The said board shall upon receipt of such request notify
the parties to the controversy, and after a hearing of both sides give its inter­
pretation within thirty days.
Third. The Board of Mediation shall have the following duties with respect

On failure of the arbitrators named by the parties to agree on the re­
maining arbitrator or arbitrators within the time set by section 7 of this act,
it shall be the duty of the Board of Mediation to name such remaining arbi­
trator or arbitrators. It shall be the duty of the board in naming such arbi­
trator or arbitrators to appoint only those whom the board shall deem wholly
disinterested in the controversy to be arbitrated and impartial and without
bias as between the parties to such arbitration. Should, however, the board
name an arbitrator or arbitrators not so disinterested and impartial, then, upon
proper investigation and presentation of the facts, the board shall promptly
remove such arbitrator.
If an arbitrator named by the Board of Mediation, in accordance with the
provisions of this act, shall be removed by such board as provided by this
act, or if such an arbitrator refuses or is unable to serve, it shall be the duty
of the Board of Mediation, promptly, to select another arbitrator, in the same
manner as provided in this act for an original appointment by the Board of
Mediation.
(&) Any member of the Board of Mediation is authorized to take the ac­
knowledgment of an agreement of arbitration under this act. When so ac­
knowledged, or when acknowledged by the parties before a notary public or
the clerk of a district court or a circuit court of appeals of the United States,
such agreement to arbitrate shall be delivered to a member of said board, or
transmitted to said board, to be filed in its office.
(c) When an agreement to arbitrate has been filed with the Board of Medi­
ation, or with one of its members, as provided by this section, and when the
said board, or a member thereof, has been furnished the names of the arbi­
trators chosen by the parties to the controversy, it shall be the duty of the
Board of Mediation to cause a notice in writing to be served upon said
arbitrators, notifying them of their appointment, requesting them to meet
promptly to name the remaining arbitrator or arbitrators necessary to com­
plete the board of arbitration, and advising them of the period within which,
as provided by the agreement to arbitrate, they are empowered to name such
arbitrator or arbitrators.
(d) Either party to an arbitration desiring the reconvening of a board of
arbitration to pass upon any controversy arising over the meaning or applica­
tion of an award may so notify the Board of Mediation in writing, stating in
such notice the question or questions to be submitted to such reconvened board.
The Board of Mediation shall thereupon promptly communicate with the mem­
bers of the board o f arbitration, or a subcommittee of such board appointed
for such purpose pursuant to a provision in the agreement to arbitrate, and
arrange for the reconvening of said board or subcommittee, and shall notify
the respective parties to the controversy of the time and place at which the
board, or the subcommittee, will meet for hearings upon the matters in contro­
versy to be submitted to it. No evidence other than that contained in the
record filed with the original award shall be received or considered by such
reconvened board or subcommittee, except such evidence as may be necessary
to illustrate the interpretations suggested by the parties. If any member o f
the original board is unable or unwilling to serve on such reconvened board
or subcommittee thereof, another arbitrator shall be named in the same manner
and with the same powers and duties as such original arbitrator.

ated by this act any and all papers and documents heretofore filed with or
transferred to them, respectively, bearing upon the settlement, adjustment, or
determination Of disputes between carriers and their employees or upon media­
tion or arbitration proceedings held under or pursuant to the provisions of
any act of Congress in respect to such disputes \ and the President is author­
ized to require the transfer and delivery to the Board of Mediation, created by

conferences are being held with reference thereto, or the services of the Board
of Mediation have been requested by either party, or said board has proffered

sections, such controversy may, by agreement of the parties to such con­
troversy, be submitted to the arbitration of a board of three (or, if the parties
to the controversy so stipulate, of six) persons: Provided, however, That the
failure or refusal of either party to submit a controversy to arbitration shall
•not be construed as a violation of any legal obligation imposed upon such
party by the terms of this act or otherwise.
Second. Such board of arbitration shall be chosen in the following manner:
(a) In the case of a board of three the carrier or carriers and the represent­
atives of the employees, parties respectively to the agreement to arbitrate,
shall each name one arbitrator; the two arbitrators thus chosen shall select
a third arbitrator. If the arbitrators chosen by the parties shall fail to
name the third arbitrator within five days after their first meeting, such
third arbitrator shall be named by th e Board of Mediation.
( b) In the case of a board of six the carrier or carriers and the represent­
atives of the employees, parties respectively to the agreement to arbitrate,
shall each name two arbitrators; the four arbitrators thus chosen shall, by
a majority vote, select the remaining two arbitrators. If the arbitrators chosen
by the parties shall fail to name the two arbitrators within fifteen days after
their first meeting, the said two arbitrators, or as many of them as have not
been named, shall be named by the Board of Mediation.
Third, (a) When the arbitrators selected by the respective parties have
agreed upon the remaining arbitrator or arbitrators, they shall notify the
Board of Mediation; and, in the event o f their failure to agree upon any or

arbitrators selected, if any, or of their failure to make or to complete such
selection.

elect.
(c) Upon notice from the Board of Mediation that the parties, or either
party, to an arbitration desire the reconvening of the board of arbitration (or
a subcommittee of such board of arbitration appointed for such purpose pur­
suant to the agreement to arbitrate) to pass upon any controversy over the
meaning or application of their award, the board, or its subcommittee, shall
at once reconvene. No question other than, or in addition to, the questions
relating to the meaning or application of the award, submitted by the party
or parties in writing, shall be considered by the reconvened board of arbitration
or its subcommittee.
Such rulings shall be acknowledged by such board or subcommittee thereof
in the same manner, and filed in the same district court clerk’s office, as the
original award and become a part thereof.
( d) No arbitrator, except those chosen by the Board of Mediation, shall be
incompetent to act as an arbitrator because of his interest in the controversy
to be arbitrated, or because of his connection with or partiality to either of
the parties to the arbitration.
(e) Bach member of any board of arbitration created under the provisions
of this act named by either party to the arbitration shall be compensated by
the party naming him. Each arbitrator selected by the arbitrators or named

the respective parties to the controversy, and shall transmit the original, to­
gether with the papers and proceedings and a transcript of the evidence taken

in said clerk’s office as hereinafter provided. The said board shall also furnish
a certified copy of its award, and the papers and proceedings, including testi­
mony relating thereto, to the Board of Mediation, to be filed in its office; and'
in addition a certified copy of its award shall be filed in the office of the
Interstate Commerce Commission: Provided, however, That such award shall
not be construed to diminish or extinguish any o f the powers or duties of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, under the Interstate Commerce Act, as
amended.
(g ) A board of arbitration may, subject to the approval of the Board of
Mediation, employ and fix the compensation of such assistants as it deems
necessary in carrying on the arbitration proceedings. The compensation of
such employees, together with their necessary traveling expenses and ex­
penses actually incurred for subsistence, while so employed, and the necessary
expenses of boards of arbitration, shall be paid by the Board of Mediation.
Whenever practicable, the board shall be supplied with suitable quarters
in any Federal building located at its place of meeting or at any place where
the board may conduct its proceedings or deliberations.
( h ) All testimony before said board shall be given under oath or affirma­
tion, and any member o f the board shall have the power to administer oaths
or affirmations. The board of arbitration, or any member thereof, shall have
the power to require the attendance of witnesses and the production of such
books, papers, contracts, agreements, and documents as may be deemed by
the board of arbitration material to a just determination of the matters sub­
mitted to its arbitration, and may for that purpose request the clerk o f the
district court of the United States for the district wherein said arbitration is
being conducted to issue the necessary subpoenas, and upon such request the
said clerk or his duly authorized deputy shall be, and he hereby is, authorized,
and it shall be his duty, to issue such subpoenas. In the event of the failure
of any person to comply with any such subpoena, or in the event of the con­
tumacy of any witness appearing before the board of arbitration, the board
may invoke the aid of the United States courts to compel witnesses to attend
and testify and to produce such books, papers, contracts, agreements, and
documents to the same extent and under the same conditions and penalties as
provided for in the act to regulate commerce approved February 4, 1887, and

to arbitration, and unless, within ten days after the filing of the award, a




LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1926

27

petition to impeach the award, on the grounds hereinafter set forth, shall be
filed in the clerk’s office of the court in which the award has been filed, the
court shall enter judgment on the award, which judgment shall be final and
conclusive on the parties.
Third. Such petition for the impeachment or contesting of any award so filed
shall be entertained by the court only on one or more of the following
grounds:
(a)
That the award plainly does not conform to the substantive require­
ments laid down by this act for such awards, or that the proceedings were not
substantially in conformity with this act;
(&) That the award does not conform, nor confine itself, to the stipulations
of the agreement to arbitrate; or
(c )
That a member of the board of arbitration rendering the award was
guilty of fraud or corruption; or that a party to the arbitration practiced
fraud or corruption, which fraud or corruption affected the result of the
arbitration: Provided, however, That no court shall entertain any such petition
on the ground that an award is invalid for uncertainty: in such case the
proper remedy shall be a submission of such award to a reconvened board,
or subcommittee thereof, for interpretation, as provided by this act: Provided
further, That an award contested as herein provided shall be construed liberally
by the court, with a view to favoring its validity, and that no award shall be
set aside for trivial irregularity or clerical error, going only to form and not
to substance.
Fourth. I f the court shall determine that a part of the award is invalid
on some ground or grounds designated in this section as a ground of in­
validity, but shall determine that a part of the award is valid, the court shall
set aside the entire award : Provided, however, That, if the parties shall agree
thereto, and if such valid and invalid parts are separable, the court shall set
aside the invalid part, and order judgment to stand as to the valid part.
Fifth. At the expiration of ten days from the decision of the district court
upon the petition filed as aforesaid, final judgment shall be entered in accord­
ance with said decision, unless during said ten days either party shall appeal
therefrom to the circuit court of appeals. In such case only such portion
of the record shall be transmitted to the appellate court as is necessary to
the proper understanding and consideration of the questions of law presented
by said petition and to be decided.
Sixth. The determination of said circuit court of appeals upon said ques­
tions shall be final, and, being certified by the clerk thereof to said district
court, judgment pursuant thereto shall thereupon be entered by said dis­
trict court.
Seventh. If the petitioner’s contentions are finally sustained, judgment shall
be entered setting aside the award in whole or, if the parties so agree, in p art;
but in such case the parties may agree upon a judgment to be entered dispos­
ing of the subject matter of the controversy, which judgment when entered
shall have the same force and effect as judgment entered upon an award.
Eighth. Nothing in 'this act shall be construed to require an individual
employee to render labor or service without his consent, nor shall anything
in this act be construed to make the quitting of his labor or service by an
individual employee an illegal act; nor shall any court issue any process to
compel the performance by an individual employee of such labor or service,
without his consent.
Sec. 10. Emergency boards.— If a dispute between a carrier and its employees
be not adjusted under the foregoing provisions of this act and should, in
the judgment of the Board of Mediation, threaten substantially to interrupt
interstate commerce to a degree such as to deprive any section of the country
of essential transportation service, the Board of Mediation shall notify the
President, who may thereupon, in his discretion, create a board to investigate
and report respecting such dispute. Such board shall be composed of such
number of persons as to the President may seem desirable: Provided, however,
That no member appointed shall be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in
any organization of employees or any carrier. The compensation of the
members of any such board shall be fixed by the President. Such boards shall
be created separately in each instance and it shall investigate promptly the
facts as to the dispute and make a report thereon to the President within
thirty days from the date of its creation.
There is hereby authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be neces­
sary for the expenses of such board, including the compensation and the

paid on the presentation of itemized vouchers therefor approved by the
chairman.
After the creation of such board and for thirty days after such board has
made its report to the President, no change, except by agreement, shall be
made by the parties to the controversy in the conditions out of which the
dispute arose.

cation thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the remainder of
the act, and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances,
shall not be affected thereby.

such sums as may be necessary for expenditure by the Board of Mediation
in carrying out the provisions of this act.
