Appeal Court UpsetS
Ruling on Review
OF NLRB Decisions
From Yesterdays Final Edition.

(From Yesterdays Final Edition.
The United States Court of Ap-
peals in 2-to-l decision today held
the National Labor Relations Act
authorizes judicial review of the Ma
tiOnal Labor Relations Boards GER
tiflcation only If the board finds
unfair labor practices and makes its
certification the basis of an order
with respect to such practices"
The court reversed District
Court decision in which the lower
court had refused a Government
motion to dismiss a suit against
members of the NLRB brought by
the Inland Empire District Council,
Lumber and Sawmill Workers
Union and certain locals of the
union, all members of the AFL.
The council sought an injunction
to require NLRB to set aside
certiflcation of the International
Woodworkers of America, CIO, as a
bargaining agency, following an
election. The CIO group was named
by the NLRB as the bargaining
agency CT certain employees of the
Potlatch Forests, Inc, large log
ging and numbering concern of
Idaho.
EdgertOn Writes Decision.
Justice Henry w. Edgerton, who
wrotes the decision. declared the
Supreme Court in the case of the
American Federation of Labor
versus the NLRB expressly reserved
the question whether the boards
mere certification of collective bar
gaining representative could be re-
viewed in suit like the present
one"
Justice Edgerton added: But we
think the question is now foreclosed
by Switchmen's Union of North
America versus the National Medi-
alton Board" In the latter case. the
supreme Court, held that District
Court had no power to review a SIM
liar certiflcation by the National
Mediation Board, Justice Edgerton
said.
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner
in dissenting opinion, said:
The majority of this court now
holds that the Labor Act does not
authorize judicial review of the
boards certification where the board
has not followed its certification
with an order and hence that since
mere there was no order, the de-
clSlon OF the District Court sus-
tanning its jurisdiction was wrong
The effect of this is, as it appears
to me, to recognize right on the
part of the board, when it likes and
as 1t likes, by withholding it's order,
to determine the right of judicial
review, a position which I think is
wholly wrong and untenable and
neither more nor less than uSurpa-
ton of power.
Supreme Court Action Cited.
L am by no means unmindful of
the extent to which the Supreme
Court has gone in denying review
in cases under the Railway Labor
Act" Justice Groner continued.
But / am by no means persuaded
that because of this the Supreme
Court will, when properly confront
ed, go equally as far in its interpre-
tation of the Wagner Act. At least.
in the one case in which the uues-
ton arose the court expressly re-
served consideration ="
Justice Groner asserted he
thought District Court was correct
in asserting Jurisdiction" He point

which the CIO union had obtained
the majority it was claimed that
votes were cast by less than half
