Morrison Raps
Supreme Court on
Duplex Decision

washington, Jan. 5.--DeclSlOnS OF
the supreme court in the Duplex
Printing Co. and the Steel Trust cases
support every claim made by organ
ICED labor on the attitude of federal
courts when human rights and dollars
are involved" Frank Morrison, secre-
tarX OF the American Federation of
Labor, said tonight in commenting on
the opinion which declared secondary
hoyco:ts violation of the Sherman
act.
Compare with this position by the
supreme court it's recent refusal to dis
solve the United States Steel Trust" y
he said. "The minority opinion in that
case declared the trust was organized
IN plain violation and bold defiance of
the antitrust act, but the court refus-
ed to dissolve it because Of a risk of
injury to the public interest, including
a material disturbance of and, it may
be. serious detriment to the foreign
trade
The courts decision IN the Duplex
Machirists' Union case IS the result of
the efforts of the machinists to inn
prove conditions. They secured these
concerns in the same line of business
as the Duplex and these concerns
called upon the machinists TO place
the Duplex upon the same competitive
basis. That company refused, and to
hold what they had in the other plants
the maChinists struck. The machin-
lists were everywhere aided by their
fellows and unionists in other trades.
This II ovement should be endorsed
by every humane person and the policy
Of the Duplex should be condemned.
But the United States supreme court
says that the boycott--the workers
emily weapon III this case--is illegal and
a violation of the antitrust act be-
cause it interferes with interstate
| commerce"
Mr.. Morrison indicated that in his
opinion the Duplex decision was the
most Sc ere blow the organized labor
move,n. ut had received in r'any years
when he said it would be necessary
for labor to sstart all over" Such
action as might be necessary to re-
| cover the lost grond, he added, might
be expected without delay.
