American workers struggled for
generations against the use of the
INJUNCTION in strikes. 1t was a
long battle that saw its first vic
tory in 1914 with the enactment
of the Clayton act.
That event was hailed by work
ers as a Magma Carta" but the
cheers had hardly died down be-
fore case after case was upheld
by the courts wherein federal
judges had used injunctions to
eliminate labor organizations.
FINALLY in 1882 Congress en-
acted the Norris-LaGuardia act.
1t said to the judges that "we
meant no, we mean no, and you
shall not use the injunction against
labor unions" 1t said no in six
different ways and was regarded
by everybody as a milestone in
labor's progress.
Back of this struggle was the
distaste of workers for the court
injunction that had put their ia
Their in a breadline and made
them go hungry.
Decisions since 1892 had up
held the NorrisLaGuardia act
and repeatedly told federal jur-
lists: Keep your hands off Ia
Dor. Mr.. Court"
THEN came the bituminous
coal strike last year, and after
the government used the War
Powers Act to seize, the mines, the
supreme court followed what it
thought was the mandate of the
November election returns. 1t up
held the government and in one
blow wrecked the whole care
fully built-up moral principle sur
rounding the use of the injunc-
ton.
That is what the lawyers call
the mores-the customs-and re-
gardless of Interpretation of the
decision, of its meaning, the prin-
cipal point that's to be remem-
bered about the UNIV decisions
is that people everywhere and
particularly employers, believe
that the injunction is back.
Although &c industrial states
followed the federal law with
their own statutes governing the
use of injunctions against unions,
the new decision is an invitation
to the supreme courts in those
states to backtrack and eat their
words.
INJUNCTIONS are now kosher
despite what corporation lawyers
may say about limiting its use.
You can't have a limited preg-
nancy-and you can't have linn
tied use of injunctions against Ia
Dor.
Another point 10 be remer-
bered here is that The highest
court used no gloves in handling
labor The majority decision of
Chief Justice Fred Vinson was
filled with venom and the
fine of 100000 was in itself a
tremendous blow.
