Labor Board Seeks Testimony in 1920 Transportation Act Case
Chicago September 29 The United States district court began testing the constitutionality of a transportation act clause empowering the railroad labor board to compel testimony. John McGuire of Chicago, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and D B Robertson of Cleveland, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, were ordered to testify. The case cites Daugherty and disputes whether Congress may delegate subpoena power to the board.
