HOLDS BOYCOTT
OF MACHINISTS
AS CONSPIRACY
Supreme Court Decides in
Duplex Printing Com
pany Case.
TEST OF CLAYTON ACT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The Supreme
Court today held that the International
Association of Machinists in calling a
strike at the plant Of the Duplex Print
ing Press Company, Battle Greek, Mich.
ard refusing TO set up its presses in all
parts of the country, was a conspiracy
in restraint Of interstate commerce in
violation Of the antitrust laws"
The company claimed the actions Of the
union were similar to those in the noted
Danbury hatters' case when the court
held a big walkout in restraint of inter
state commerce, while the machinsts
claimed this view was set aside by the
Clayton amendment to the sherman law
exempting labor unions and farmers or
ganizations from such prosecutions.
The court held that the Clayton act
did not legalize n boycott such as the
machinists We're said to have carried on.
This decision is the courts first ex
tensive Interpretation Of sections of the
Clayton act aimed to protect trade
unions from court injunctons.
In dissenting from the majority Opin-
ion, Justice Brandeis said the decision
renders futile an effort continued more
than twenty years ito place employers
and employees on an equal basis before
the law"
The Duplex Printing Press Company
conducted an open shop. 4 strike, falling
to unionize the shop, the machinists, II
was said, tried to prevent the presses
from being set up. hauled or operated
thus preventing use Of the cOmpany's
product. The company asked an in
junction under the sherman antitrust
act, claiming a conspiracy in restraint
of interstate commerce. The union re-
lied on the Clayton act, passed after the
famous Danbury hatters' decision, ex-
empting unions from operation Of the
anti trust laws.
Michael F. ManGan, administrator, lost
his appeal in a suit TO recover the pro-
Ceeds of the sale of cotton seized during
the Civil War by the United States Gov
eminent The court held than Mangan
had not established his title to the cot
ton and sustained the decision Of the
Court of Claims. from which the case
had been appealed.
James H. Strong OF FIoridn, an en-
ploye of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion, was exonerated by the court OF
charges Of conspiracy to defraud the
United States by attempting to divert
Il contract from the fleet corporation to
a irm in which he was interested Strong
won in the lower court. The Govern
ment appealed, but lost in the higher
court.
