dc.description.abstractThis article will survey a landmark of American labor law. It will be prefaced by a short recapitulation of general views which have been developed at length in another article.' The handful of American labor cases before 1850 are striking illustrations of the nature of some law as an index of social direction-an index less like a compass showing direction in relation to some fixed lodestar of human harmony than like a weather-vane-harder to read, however, since the true direction of the wind it swings to is not always clear. Each of the cases showed a complex force resulting from the moment's collisions of an heterogeneous variety of wills, wants, interests and values which it is convenient, though over-simple, to conceive as two opposing sets, each set more consistent than such a hodge-podge as distracts a normal individual or political party, one set describable as Tory and the other as Jeffersonian. Most of the cases showed Tory pressures as strongest, though the Jeffersonian always modified them and sometimes prevailed.
