## Opinion text

Boslaugh, J.;
concurring.
The question concerning the construction of Article XV, section 9, Constitution of Nebraska, raised in the dissenting opinion of Judge Newton, is not without force although not presented in any of the briefs filed in this case.
The section permits the enactment of laws relating to “controversies between employers and employees in any business or vocation affected with á public interest.” Although there can be disagreement as to what this language means, it would appear that the terms business or vocation were used in an alternative sense' and that legislation' relating to- controversies between employers and employees under this section is not limited to a business affected' with a públic interest.
The legislative construction of a constitutional pro *798 vision, although not controlling, should be given consideration, particularly in doubtful, cases and when deliberately made.
MeCown, J., joins in this concurrence.
