COMPULSORY RETENTION OP SERVICES. AMERICAN COURT'S DECISION. R3C3i7iJ Ja.:uiry33, 8.33 a.m. NEW YORK, January 29. The Supreme Court of the United States, in declaring an Act passed by Congress illegal, based its decision on the ground that nobody can be compelled against his will to retain another's services. Any legislation disturbing the equality of employers and employed in such matters would be an interference with the liberty of the subject. (The court held that master mechanics in the Louisville and Nashvile railroad were entitled to be discharged from their employ because they were members of a labour organisation. An Act passed by Congress prohibiting railroad companies engaged in inter-State commerce from discriminating against members of labour organisations in matters of employment was declared to be unconstitutional).
