Court Throws Out
Anti Picket Rule

WASHINGTON, Nov 10. (UP)-
The supreme court today ruled that
a federal court in Illinois had nc
bower to invoke federal antitrust
statutes as grounds for an anti
picketing injunction against the
American Federation of Labor's
Chicago milk wagon drivers union.
The case was one or two labor
controversies in which the court
acted today. In the other the
tribunal declined to disturb a ma
.ional labor relations board order
against the Elkland Leather COM
pany, Elkland, Pa, holding that
q circular to the employees stating
the firms labor policy constituted
an interference with workers or
ganizing rights.
The anti-picketing injunction de-
eision was in the dispute between
the Lake Valley Farm Products,
Inc, the Congress of Industrial Or
ganiZation Ama:gamatcd Dairy
Workers and Lake View Cooperative,
a Watertown, Wis, cooperative
dairy, and the AFL union.
