Opinion Is Answer To Steel Attack
The Supreme Court ruled the federal government has unlimited power to produce its own supplies and set terms for contracts. Justice Black wrote the opinion upholding a Labor Department order on minimum wages for steel workers. Justice McReynolds dissented without an opinion. The court delayed a decision on the Sherman Antitrust Act and agreed to review officer liability under antitrust laws in a separate Hutcheson case involving the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Jointers of America. Black stressed that interfering with executive duties would bring only mischief.
