28 The British unemployment insurance law of 1920 provides for payments on the following Tatio for each employee per week: employer, 8¢; employee, 8¢; the government, 4¢. This amount does not vary with different industries and under changing conditions. Commons and Andrews, , Principles of Labor Legislation (1927), pp. 488–9Google Scholar. The German act of 1927 provides that the employers within each district of the country shall pay 1½ per cent of the wage pay-rolls and the employees 1½ per cent of their wages, until a reserve is established sufficient to care for 600,000 unemployed workers for three months; then the rate for a district may be lowered. 28 Monthly Labor Review, 91 (Jan., 1929)Google Scholar.

In both of these cases, the majority of the court, then consisting of Justices Holmes, Brandeis, Stone, Eoberts, and Hughes, upheld the state statutes; while the minority—Justices Butler, Sutherland, Van Devanter, and McEeynolds—opposed the constitutionality of these acts and in their dissenting opinions quoted a long series of Supreme Court decisions on due process and police power.

58 Truax v. Corrigan, 257 U.S. 312, 354-357 (1921). Brandeis, in his decisions, follows this procedure; he collects and presents vast amounts of factual detail concerning the evils that the statute is aimed to remedy and the operation of similar laws elsewhere. A good example of this method can be found in his dissenting opinion in Adams v. Tanner, 244 U.S. 590, 597 (1916).
