Justice Reed dissented, joined by
Justices Murphy and Rutledge.
Justice Douglas took no part.
Petrillo contended the law is too
vague in setting up standards for
the number Of men a station may
be required to hire.
Black wrote that more precise
language might nave be USED
by Congress but none occurs to
us nor has any better language
been suggested effectively to carry
out what appears to nave been the
Congressional purpose"
PetrilIo also contended the act
denies equal protection of the law
to radio broadcasting employes as
a class. On that point the cour+
held:
1T is not within IL province
to say that because Congress has
prohibited some practices within
lis Iower to prohibit it must pro-
hiDit all within its power
Petrillo commended further that
the statute aoridges freedom OF
speech by making peaceful picket
ing a crime.
s1t is important to note Black
said, that the statute does not
mention %picxetlng, peaceful or
violent. The proposed application
OF the statute to picketing. there

that the statute as sought to be
