Court Rules Against Yellow Dog Bonding Case Principle
A Kansas Supreme Court ruling in a Fidelity and Deposit Company vs. Davis case asserts that requiring a surety bond before employment coercively limits an worker’s free choice. The decision, citing public policy against such agreements, holds that employees sign to obtain work and wages, not from free will, making these indemnity contracts effectively coercive and enforceable only with consideration of the job.

In a national radio hook up from Washington, Secretary Davis urged that the nationwide building program and new tariff will restore normal labor and business. He cited wage trends, noting small increases and larger decreases across industries, and praised reforms like eight hour days in steel and cement plants as signs of improvements despite hard times.
