¹⁰ The leading case deciding against the state's right to require employers and workmen to submit to compulsory arbitration is Wolff Packing Co. v. Court of Industrial Relations, 262 U.S. 522. This decision, however, does not apply to businesses which the court may find to be "clothed with the public interest.”

¹⁶ Early in 1937 occurred two excellent examples of this choice. During the strike of the Fansteel Metallurgical Corporation in North Chicago, Illinois, the sheriff's forces of Lake county chose to enforce a court order and ejected sit-down strikers by violent use of tear-gas and an ingenious tower. During the General Motors strike in Flint, Michigan, however, city police postponed giving effect to a similar court order until the sit-downers withdrew voluntarily as a result of an agreement reached in Detroit. For a general discussion of the police problems raised by the sit-down strike, cf.
