WASHINGTON. October 25.-tP)-
August Dorchy lost in the Supreme
Court today in his contention that an
officer Of a labor organization had
a right to call strike, the Kansas
state law to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Dorchy was convicted in the state
courts Of violating the court Of in
dustrial relations act, in calling n
strike in a coal mine in the state.
lie contended unsuccessfully that the
section Of the act under which he
was convicted was unconstitutional,
especially in view Of the fact that
the supreme court in the Charles
Wolff Packing Company cases had
held the compulsory arbitration pro-
visions Of the law unconstituticn nal.
In an opinion by Justice Brandeis
the court today held that the coal
strike was for the enforcement Of =
claim which had been adjusted IN
the courts. that the calling Of the
strike was coercion which state
legislature he'd the right to prohibit
as extortion and that the section
under which Dorchy was convicted
was valid and constitutional.
