Exceptions were made for such things as perishables and Government orders. Soon settled and forgotten was the original warehousemen-California Packing squabble.

Instead, it upheld in the past year: the arms embargo in the Chaco War, the new Frazier-Lemke Farm Bankruptcy Act, the Railway Labor Act, the Wagner Labor Law, the Social Security Law.
