In rendering q decision on the con-
81 tutionality of the Adamson Law on
Monday the Supreme Court said
AS TO the employee, here again 1t Is
obvious that what we have previously
said is applicable and decisive, since
whatever would be the right of an EN-
ploye engaged in a private business TO
demand such wages as he desires TO
leave the employment If he does not
pet them and by concert OF action 20
agree with others TO leave upon the
same condition. such rights are neces-
sarily subject 10 limitation when en-
ment is accepted in a business charg-
ed with public interest and as to
which the power to regulate com
merce possessed by Congress applied
and the resulting right to fix in q
case Of disagreement and dispute :
standard of wages as we have seer
necessarily obtained.
In other words, considering compre
hensively the situation of the employer
and the employee in the light Of th'
obligations arising from the public in
terest and of the work in which they
are engaged and the degree of regula
ton which may be lawfully exerteC
by Congress as to that business, i
must follow that the exercise OF th'

out of its way upon matters not be
