Abstract

The recent decision of the Supreme Court in Kentucky Whip & Collar Co. v. Illinois Central R. R., provides an effective method of circumventing the doctrine of Hammer v. Dagenhart, which held that Congress may not prohibit the interstate transportation of commodities which are harmless except for their economic effect in the state of destination. It is hailed by the advocates of reform as furnishing an avenue of approach to such problems as the regulation of minimum wages and hours and child labor.
