merce from discriminating against
members Of labor organizations in the
matter Of employment was called into
question by the case Of William Adair
VS.. the United States. which was de-
cided by the supreme court Of the
United States, favorable to Adair. The
opinion was by Justice Harlan and
held the law to be repugnant to the
constitution.
( The court held that Adair, as mas

company, had right to discharge an
employe because he was a member Of
labor organization just as it was the
employees right to quit such employ
ment because Of his membership In
such organization.

Such course, the decision added,
might be unwise, but; regarded as q
mere matter Of right, there could be
no doubt. Congress could not, under
the constitution, authorize violation
Of contracts under guise Of protect
ing interstate commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered dis
senting opinion favorable to the law
in which he said the courts decision
is along very narrow lines.
Justice Holmes also expressed the
opinion that the law should be con
strued as constitutional. He thought
that the right to make contracts had
been stretched to the limit by the
courts decision in this case. Tina,
