UNIONIST RIGHTS
AMERICAN WORKERS REINSTATEMENT ORDER RULINGS BY COURT PICKETING LIMITATION (Elec. To!. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Feb. 11. 1.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The Supreme Court refused to-day to interfere with a Labour Board order directing the Ford Company to reinstate a group of employees with back pay and to cease alleged interference with the collective bargaining rights of the workmen.
The court order requires the Ford Company to cease discouraging membership in the C. 1.0. of automobile workers, or any other union, to discontinue “threatening, assaulting or beating” or interfering in any other .way with the employees’ organising rights and to reinstate with back-pay 23 men whom the board found were discharged for union activity.
The Supreme Court also held that State court injunctions against picketing are valid when violence by a union is associated closely with picketing.
The ruling was the first given by the Supreme Court limiting the right of labour to picket. It came in a decision upholding an injunction against the Chicago A.F.L. Milk Wagon Drivers’ Union in a dispute , with Meadowmoor Dairies, Incorporated.
