What happened to the Industrial Disputes and Investigation Act after the decision in the Snider case?

After the Snider case decision, the federal government amended the Act to state that it only applied to matters that were not within the jurisdiction of the provinces, but that it could apply in a national emergency and where a province chose to use it provincially.

All provinces except Prince Edward Island did subsequently pass laws similar to the Industrial Disputes and Investigation Act so that the same principles applied provincially.
