OCTOBER, 1928
REVIEW OF LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1927
INTRODUCTION
During the year 1927 legislative sessions were held in 46 States
and 4 Territories. The sixty-ninth Congress, second session, and
seventieth Congress, first session, were in session during the year.
The Kentucky and Mississippi Legislatures did not convene. The
Virginia and Louisiana Legislatures met in extra session. Besides
their regular sessions, Alabama (1926-27), Arizona, New Hamp
shire, South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia had extra sessions
during the year.1 The acts of the third session of the seventh legis
lature o f the Philippine Islands, which convened during 1927, were
not available, but volumes 21 and 22, containing the first and second
sessions of the seventh legislature, covering the period from Au
gust 14, 1925, to February 10, 1927, were available and are made use
of in this bulletin.
Legislation of interest to labor was enacted in every State in
which the legislature met except in Louisiana. The extra sessions
held in Louisiana and New Hampshire were called to meet the flood
situation in those States.
As was the case with Bulletin No. 403, Labor Legislation of 1925,
and Bulletin No. 434, Labor Legislation of 1926, the current bulle
tin is essentially a supplement to Bulletin No. 370, entitled “ Labor
Laws of the United States with Decisions of Courts Relating
Thereto,” containing reprints, abridgments, digests, and references
to all labor legislation, with the exception of workmen’s compensa
tion laws, up to the beginning of the year 1925. The classification
of subjects and method of treatment found in Bulletin No. 370 are
followed closely in this bulletin. The subject matter is divided into
two parts, the first entitled “ Digests and summaries of certain
classes of laws affecting labor,” which is of general interest to labor,
and the second entitled 64Text and abridgment of labor laws,” con
taining laws which more directly affect labor. The laws in Part I
are classified under appropriate subject headings while those of
Part I I are under State headings. The cumulative index provides
a ready reference to the laws found in this as well as in preceding
bulletins.
Workmen’s compensation legislation has been considered of suffi
cient importance to receive separate treatment. Bulletin No. 423,
entitled “ Workmen’s compensation legislation of the United States
and Canada, as of July 1, 1926,” contains an analysis, a comparison,
and the text of the workmen’s compensation laws in the United
States and Canada. An article appearing in the Monthly Labor
Eeview for January, 1928 (pp. 17-33), presents an analysis of legis
lation of this type for the year 1927.
