	Railway Labor Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Act, passed in 1926 and amended in 1936 to apply to the airline industry, seeks to substitute bargaining, arbitration and mediation for strikes as a means of resolving labor disputes.
		The Act was a complete failure: only one panel was ever convened under the Act, and that one, in the case of the Pullman Strike, only issued its report after the strike had been crushed by a federal court injunction backed by federal troops.
		The Adamson Act, passed in 1916, provided workers with an eight hour day, at the same daily wage they had received previously for a ten hour day, and required time and a half for overtime.

	David Octavius Hill & Robert Adamson
		The partnership of David Octavius Hill (1802-1870) and Robert Adamson (1821-1848) is one of the most significant and intriguing in the history of photography.
		Robert Adamson, trained as an engineer and very clever indeed, was the full beneficiary of a legacy of innovative experimental information.
		It was a true act of courage, rooted in deeply held convictions, for these men were not only surrendering their career, but also condemning their families to ostracism from the communities in which they lived.

	Woodrow Wilson - MSN Encarta
		Because the Sherman Antitrust Act had been used against labor, the administration sponsored the Clayton Antitrust Act that same year to strengthen its antitrust provisions against monopoly and to limit its use against labor unions.
		These laws were all passed in 1916, but the child labor act was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1918.
		He had little faith in the ability of women to vote and participate in politics (called suffrage), but for political reasons he was slow to disagree with the determined suffragettes who sought his support for voting rights for women.

	ASHP News: New Jersey Modernizes Pharmacy Practice Act

		The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was made law with the support of both major political parties and of pressure groups in all regions of the country.
		From the standpoint of pressure groups that wanted powerful federal controls, the Interstate Commerce Act was very restraining, because it left enforcement to a judicial process: the ICC could not directly impose its regulations and rulings, but had to bring suit in federal courts for compliance if a railroad company refused to accept its decisions.
		One of the acts was the Adamson Act of 1916, which mandated a maximum eight-hour day for railroad workers and prohibited the companies from cutting wages because of the eight-hour maximum.

		In the other Mr Adamson said that the allegation which the appellant made at the hearing of her appeal of sexual harassment by Mr Osborn had been investigated and that there was insufficient evidence to establish a case against him.
		The latter Act uses the phrases "on racial grounds" and "other persons" which do not depend upon the racial group to which the actual complainant personally belongs or the racial group to which the comparator belongs provided the relevant racial ground would not apply to him but is otherwise comparable.
		The wording of the 'employment field' provision in the 1975 and 1976 Acts is in a relevant respect slightly different from the 1995 Act which, instead of using the phrase "employed by him", uses the phrase "whom he employs".

		He claims he asked Adamson if he would sign a union card and that the supervisor said ``of course he would, but it wouldn't do him any good because he was a company man.'' The employee testified Adamson then asked if he would sign a card, and he replied by saying yes, he would.
		Adamson was admittedly a statutory supervisor and an agent of Respondent at times material herein.
		Noting that Wilson initiated the discussion he had with Adamson, who was originally hired by Respondent in a nonsupervisory capacity, I am not inclined to impute Adamson's knowledge that Wilson had indicated he might sign a union card to the Respondent.

	Saddam act puts mayor in hot water - National - smh.com.au
		Adamson said he was simply having a bit of fun at his own expense.
		Adamson arrived at the party at Darwin's Dinah Beach Yacht Club dressed as a fridge and accompanied by his girlfriend, Leanne Meharry, who was dressed as a Northern Territory policewoman.
		But Adamson stirred even more controversy at the party when he put a noose around the neck of a man in the guise of Saddam, the former Iraqi dictator who had been executed a day earlier.

	Hill and Adamson: The Disruption Picture
		The painting of The First General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland; signing the Act of Seperation and Deed of Demission - 23rd May 1843 by David Octavius Hill is internationally important as being the first work of art painted with the help of photographic images.

		Although the act retained many protective features, it was a genuine attempt to lower the cost of living.
		The new act, in line with the Democratic Party's Jeffersonian sentiments, divided the country into 12 districts, with a Federal Reserve Bank in each, all supervised by a national Federal Reserve Board with limited authority to set interest rates.
		The Clayton Antitrust Act forbade many corporate practices that had thus far escaped specific condemnation: interlocking directorates, price discrimination among purchasers, use of the injunction in labor disputes, and ownership by one corporation of stock in similar enterprises.

	Decision re admissibility
		He complains under Article 3 that the registration requirement under the Act is, in effect, branding him a sex offender for life, which is inhumane and degrading and might put his family at risk.
		As to the domestic characterisation of the impugned measures, the Court notes that, according to its preamble, the Act is “to require the notification of information to the police by persons who have committed certain sexual offences”.
		In the case of the Act, independent criminal proceedings would have to be brought against a defaulter, in which his degree of culpability in defaulting would be taken into account in sentencing.

		The Act is not severable and is wholly ultra vires.
		It may be that the provisions of that Act are inadequate to suppress the evil of tobacco-using by children but it is not within the competence of provincial or municipal authorities to "put teeth" into the criminal law.
		It has not said that they may be used and other authorities may still regulate or control such machines even when selling cigarettes, so long as the purpose is a proper one and one other than in aid of tobacco restraint in its criminal aspect.

	House of Lords - Relaxion Group plc (Respondents) v. Rhys-Harper (FC) (Appellant), D'Souza (Appellant) v. London ...
		Accordingly, both in the EAT and in the Court of Appeal the appellant's claim was presented as including a complaint about an act of discrimination consisting of failure by Mr Adamson to investigate properly her complaint of sexual harassment.
		The conduct in question was Mr Adamson's alleged failure to deal properly with the sexual harassment complaint made to him as part of the appellant's case that her dismissal by Mr Osborn ought not to be allowed to stand.
		If the anti-discrimination Acts are held to extend generally to ex-employees as well as current employees, any refusal or failure to supply a reference when asked to do so, no matter what period of years might have elapsed, might attract a discrimination complaint.

		Specifically, the Secretary had contended that the fact that Adamson III was not called as a witness by Virginia Slate warranted an inference that, if he had been called, his testimony would have been adverse to the operator.
		Based on the foregoing, we vacate the judge's negative unwarrantability determinations and his penalty assessments and remand the proceeding to the judge for further consideration consistent with this decision.
		The unwarrantable failure terminology is taken from section 104(d)(1) of the Act, 30 U.S.C. § 814(d)(1), which establishes more severe sanctions for any violation that is caused by "an unwarrantable failure of [an] operator to comply with.

		This act established twelve regional farm loan banks, at which independent small farmers could borrow up to fifty percent of their land's value and twenty percent of their land improvements value.
		The act was criticized by some, because agricultural workers had to own land in order to benefit (thus excluding sharecroppers, the most destitute of farmers, from its benefits) and because the benefits were surrounded by mountains of red tape.
		The Adamson Act was the first law to limit the number of hours an employee could be expected to work during a day without overtime pay, limiting railroad workers to an eight hour day.
