Pennsylvania Supreme Court UphoIds
The Legality of Secondary Pickering

Pittsburgh, Pain what was re-
garded as a precedent-making deci-
sion the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
upheld the right of labor to engage
in secondary picketing. The Court
ruled that in controversy with an
employer the employe or labor union
may picket the retail outlet where the
employers products are sold. The de-
cision, based on the constitutional
right of free speech, reversed a ruling
by Judge Howard A Davis in Court of
Common Pleas No. 8, Philadelphia, in
May, 1889.
The case developed from a strike
of Local 107 of the International
Brotherhood Of Teamsters, Chauf-
feurs, Warehousemen and Helpers Of
America, A. F. of L. affiliate, against
the Petrol Oil Co., Philadelphia, de-
clared three years ago. After the
strike had been on for about year
the union began picketing the Is
service stations Of the Alliance Auto
Service Co., which purchased it's gas
oline from the Petrol firm.
Judge Davis granted the Alliance
Company an injunction on the ground
that the picketinug Of the stations

was coercion, constituting sec
ondary boycott" which he said the
State Legislature never contemplated
in it's 1887 anti-injunction law.
In it's decision upholding secondary
picketing the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court said:
"To the extent to which they (the
pickets) merely publicize, by true and
fair statement, the facts of a labor
dispute, they are within the protection
given to freedom Of speech by Article
l, Section of the States Constitu-
ton and the 14th Amendment to the
Federal Constitution"
The decision was the first by Penn
sylvania's highest court touching on
the question Of secondary picketing.
1t was said to follow generally the
decision Of New York's highest tri-
bunal, the Court of Appeals, handed
down in December, 1887.
In it's decision the Pennsylvania
court made two reservations the
pickets may not advertise that the
retailer is unfair, and must make it
clear that their protest is not di-
rected against the general business
of the retail store.

2. Agreed that when the unions are
unable to supply a full force OF build

tense projects who are recognized as
being fair to organized labor.
(a) The contractor may employ
non-union men until such time as the
various unions can replace them with
members of their own organizations.
(b) No permit or privilege monies
shall be collected from these non

conditions exist.
(c) No initiation fees or other union
obligations shall be collected from
these non-union men except where
they can qualify for membership and
have been requested to join the appro-
pirate union and have been accepted
into membership.
(d) When such applications for
membership are received, initiation
fees shall be the minimum possible
in view of the benefits extended by
the union organizations and reason

make it possible to present new
basic rate to the trade as soon as

be able to put the revised agreement

Peaceful Union Activities To Bar Sale

Green OPPOSES
DEFENSE STRIKES

Washington, D. C.-President Will
liam Green of the American Fedora
ton of Labor called upon all A. F.
of l.. unions to do everything in their
power to avoid strikes in national de-
fense industries.
Writing on "Labor's Obligation"
in the April issue of the American
Federationist, official monthly mag
azine Of the A. F. Of L., Mr.. Green
made it clear that he considers it the
duty of unions, when serious contro-
versies with employers arise, to sub
NIT the issues to mediation and arbi-
tration.
"While we must insist upon funda-
mental principles" Mr.. Green de-
clared, "when collective bargaining
breaks down we should submit issues
to mediation and arbitration, doing
everything within our power to avoid
strikes.
"The future of our nation, our dem
ocratic institutions and the very exist
ence of free labor movement are at
stake. The American labor movement
will as always give unreserved serv-
ice to the cause Of freedom"
Mr.. Green said the "key issue" in
the present war is personal free
dom" and he added that this was
"the goal which has inspired organ
lied labor throughout the ages"
In the name of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, solemnly remind
all national and international unions
affiliated with the American Fedora
tion of Labor, their affiliated unions
and all unions directly affiliated to
the Federation that our service and
cooperation will have a determining
influence both in the Battle of Britain
and in the planning and development
of New World defense.
"Under legislation guaranteeing the
right to union membership, we have
made substantial progress in extend
ing union organizations. BY respon-
sible leadership and union coopera-
tion for the effectuation of national
defense we have opportunity to dem
onstrate the constructive nature of
our movement and the responsible
self-discipline which democratic in
stitutions develop"

Washington, D. CA vigorous as

"Any such law would Indicate to the

Conditions and Progress In
Other Sa1liturY Shops
Are Noted

Trenton, N. J.-Much interest and
a good attendance were particularly
noted in the last two meetings of Lo-
cal Union No. as.
Vice President Wheatley made a
lengthy report on conditions and
progress made in other sanitary
plants at Ford City, Warrington,
Camden and Local No. 81 here in
Trenton.
James Hunt, Ernest Simpson and
Hugh Macauley, Jr., were welcomed
as new members BY Local as last
week. We hope these brothers will
enjoy our local and give US their sup
port.
We realize more and more that it is
not practical for a plant to be partly
organized and partly non-union. We
should make up our minds which we
want and either be 1C0 per cent, or
not at all. 1t is not fair that some
men should give time and money to
have good organization while others
give neither, but reap equal benefits.
Any man who refuses to belong should
also refuse to accept benefits or pay
dues and assessments without being
a member.
No local will ever be perfect or be
able to do what each individual thinks
the local should do, because, in the
first place no one is infalble and our
power is limited, nor is it possible for
group of any size to see eye to eye
on all matters.

United States Appeals Court
Upholds Unions Of Bakers.
Drivers, SQlesmen
NO VIOLATION
Attempt to Secure More Jobs
For Members Doesn't Hit
Sherman Act

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-In a
labor case of national Importance, the
United States Court of Appeals here
has affirmed a District of Columbia
Court decision rejecting a claim of
Gundersheimer's, Inc, a Washington
bakery, for 100000 damages against
A. F. of l.. unions of bakers, drivers
and statesmen.
The suit charged the unions, their
officers and certain members with con-
spiracy to restrain trade, thereby vio-
lating the Sherman antitrust act. The
bakery alleged damages were caused
by a strike at it's plant, in which the
defendant unions and their members
joined in a demand that the company
stop bringing goods from Philadelphia
for sale in Washington.
Lower Court Upheld
After the company's counsel made
their opening statement in the Dis
trict Court, Justice Jesse c. Adkins
directed a verdict in favor of the
unions. The company's attorneys told
the court that the unions said to the
company in effect:
"You can't buy cakes in Philadel-
phia and you cannot make cakes in
your own plant unless you will agree
not to buy any cakes out of town
the reason being wage scales in
Philadelphia are lower than scales
paid here"
The District Courts decision was
"clearly right" the Court of Appeals
said. 1t pointed out that restraints
on competition or on the course of
trade in the merchandising of articles
moving in interstate commerce do
not violate the Sherman Act, sunless
the restraint is shown to have, or is
intended to have, an effect upon prices
in the market or otherwise to deprive
purchasers or consumers of the ad-
vantages which they derive from free
competition.
The court said the case in point
was not shown to have had any such
effect.
Peaceful Activities" Backed
Moreover, the court said, 'the use
of conventional, peaceful activities
by a union" in an attempt to secure
more jobs for it's members is not a
violation of the Sherman Act, "what-
ever effect on interstate commerce
may be intended to follow from the
acts DONE"
Listed among the defendants were
the Bakery and Confectionery Work
ers' International Union Of America,
the International Brotherhood Of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers Of America, Bakery Sales
mems Drivers Union, No. 33, of Wash
ington, D. c., and Local Union No.

Age Requirements
Being LiberoIized
For Civil Service
Senator Mead Assured That
Qualifying Age Limits
Are Being Lifted

Washington, d. C. GLNS).-Press-
ing his demand that age limitations
be liberalized to permit older workers
to participate in defense work, u. S.
Senator James NJ. Mead of New York
has assurance from the L. S. Civil
Service Commission that qualifying
age limits for Civil Service applicants
are being lifted.
Senator Mead's information came in
the form of letter from William G..
Hull, Executive Assistant at the Com
mission. Mead wrote the Commission
asking what was being done to raise
age limits.
Hull's letter read, in part, as fol-
lows:
"The Commissions policy has been
to extend maximum age limits for any
of the skilled trades or occupations
in which shortages exist, and in which
an extension of age limitations would
possibly make available a reserve Of
skilled workers between the maximum
age limits normally prescribed (4S to
so years. and the retirement age.
Shipftters, loftsmen, coPpersmiths,
machinists, toolmakers, and instru-
mentmakers are among the large
number of positions in the artisan
class, for which the maximum age has
been extended to 62 years, the retire
ment age for mechanics in the naval
establishments.
