CONSTITUTIONAL LAW - REGULATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES - DENIAL OF LICENSE WHERE FIELD IS OVERCROWDED

Authors

Abstract

A Minnesota statute required the Industrial Commission to refuse to license an employment agency whenever the Commission should find "that the number of licensed employment agents . . . in the community in which the applicant for a permit proposes to operate is sufficient to supply the needs of employers and employees." Plaintiff's application was denied because the Commission found that sufficient agencies existed in the city of Duluth. In an appeal from a mandamus proceeding the Supreme Court of Minnesota held, Deveny, C. J., dissenting, that the statute denied plaintiff due process of law. The court reached this conclusion with reluctance, on the basis of decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. Engberg v. Debel, (Minn. 1935) 260 N. W. 626.
