Abstract

Legislative Power to Restrict Freedom of Labor Contracts -The struggle between the police power of the legislature and the nineteenth century idea of due process of law continues unremittingly. That increasing social necessities and a more comprehensive and perfect conception of justice have resulted in recent years in restricting the "due process" clauses in federal and state constitutions to their historically and logically more correct meaning and scope there can be no doubt. Scores, if not hundreds, of decisions by our courts and conspicuously those of the United States Supreme Court have shown complete recognition of the fact that the formalism and the extreme individualism of earlier periods can only produce dangerous economic and social maladjustments in the complex and interlocking organization of our modern society.
