Greyhound Must
Drop Its Union

I.N.S.). The National Labor
Relations Board won an important
victory today when the Supreme
Court upheld its order to the
Pennsylvania Greyhound lines to
dissolve a company union.
Decision was made on appeal Of
the board, after 1t had lost in
the third circuit court.
FIVE DISCHARGED
The high court also upheld a
similar order Of the Labor Rela-
tions Board directed against the
Pacific Greyhound Lines, growing
out of a labor dispute in San
Francisco.
The Pennsylvania case arose out
Of the alleged action Of the COM
pany in discharging five garage
employees in Pittsburgh for union
activities.
PICKETING DECISION
The court, in q 5to 2 decision,
set aside an Injunction issued by .
Federal district court in Milwau-
kee prohibiting picketing of stores
by q union when there was no
strike and employees did not belong
q slis nIs0n.
Justices Butler and MGR Reynolds
Vigorously dissented from tI ma.
jCrity Feportt hnich was read BY
Justice Roberts.
The high court, however, after
stating its position sent the case
back to lower courts for further
proceedings.
NO WORKERS ON STRIKE
The controversy arose when e.
q. Skinner q Co., operating meat
SEoreS In Milwaukee, sought TO en-
join the Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters Union from picketing stores.
It asserted that no employees were
on strike and none belonged to
the union.
The union contended that under
the NorriS-La Guardia anti-injunc.
tion act, courts were forbidden
from enjoining picketing Of the
stores.
The high court held the injunc-
ton was wrongfully issued.
The court unanimously upheld
the Governments contention that
l1qu1dators Of State banks are
subject to Federal income tax on
their salaries.
The court ruled they were paid
from private funds and thus did
not enjoy immunity from Federal
taxation.

"There has been some dis

and laboratory findings. In the
past four hours yesterday aft

from a clinical standpoint.
However, blood chemistry

Speeding 5000 miles through

full screen star, brought to Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt a baby
navel orange tree, the direct
descendant of the parent tree sent
to California IS years ago by the

Thus did IS 900 California cit
u growers symbolically repay
the U. S. Government a billion
dollar debt in one of the most
unique events growing out of the
strangest story of plant propaga-
ton in the history of horticultural
science.
At the White House, in behalf
of the President, Mrs. Franklin D.

box Of navel oranges from the or
iginal IS year old tree.
Since the propagation of this
seedless variety, more than nine
million navel orange trees have
sprung into abundant growth in

the original importation has been
characterized by the U. S. Depart
