Supreme Court
Asked 10 Clarity
Labor Act Status
Ruling Sought on Local
Firms Doing Business
Across Stute Line
By the Associated Press.

bs INC hoSOCldtcO 1icSo+
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 26.-The
Fourth United States Circuit Court
of Appeals. seeking clariflcation
of the Labor Relations Act, today
certified to the Supreme Court of
the United States a National Labor
Relations Board case, stating that
it was divided and in doubt on the
question of whether an enterprise of
local character doing business across
State line is within the intent and
meaning of the act. asF
The court had been petitioned
for enforcement of an order OF the
Labor Board directing the White
Swan Co, laundry OF Wheeling.
w. Va, to desist from certain IN
fair labor practices" and to offer
employment with back pay TO GER
tain employees assertedly discharged
because of union aff1liation and &C
tivities.
The lower court said, that the find
ings Of the board were sustained by
substantial evidence" but stated
that the question was undecided
with reference to<the jurisdiction of
the board in the premises. 1t pointed
out that because many cities are
located near State lines the ques-
ton seemed to be of sufficient i'm
portance for definite settlement by
the Supreme Court.
The SIlpreme Court was asked for
an answer to the following ques-
tions:
l. Should the Labor Relations Act
be interpreted as having application
to business of purely local char
acter merely because such business
is located in a city on State line,
deriving a substantial portion of its
income from business which involves
collections and deliveries in a State
other than that in which the busi-
ness is located?
2. Where local business, such
as laundry, is located in city
on a State line, and is not engaged
in interstate commerce except in
so far as it may collect articles to
be Serviced and may make deliveries
to customers living across the State
line, is such business deemed en-
gagged in commerce" within the
meaning of sections of the act, so
that an unfair labor practice on its
part would be an unfair labor prac-
tice affecting commerce."
