General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Mankin v. Ludowici-Celadon Company No. 167 Submitted January 7, 1910 Decided January 17, 1910 215 U.S. 533
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Under the labor and material law of February 24, 1905, c. 778, 33 Stat. 811, amending the Act of August 13, 1894, c. 280, 28 Stat. 278, indemnity is provided for persons furnishing labor and materials to a subcontractor as well as to the contractor in chief for the construction of a public building.
The indemnity extends to the full amount furnished notwithstanding the contractor may have already paid the subcontractor in full or in part. Provisions in state statutes limiting recovery against contractor to amount remaining unpaid to subcontractor do not affect suit under the federal statute which contain no such provisions. The decision in Hill v. American Surety Co., 200 U.S. 197, in regard to claims against subcontractors under the act of 1894 followed as to such claims under the statute as amended in 1905.
158 F. 1021, affirmed.
The facts, which Involve the construction of the federal labor and material act of February 24, 1905, c. 778, 33 Stat. 811, are stated in the opinion.
