The structure of additive constants of motion for particle physics is investigated within a field theoretic framework containing massive asymptotic fields with arbitrary pin and with sufficient interaction. The result is that also in case of arbitrary spin, additive constants of motion can only be linear combinations of the generators of the Poincaré group and internal symmetries. One aspect of the result is that it provides a field theoretic proof of a theorem of Coleman and Mandula.
