ing on mass picketing and other
strike activities.
Fundamentals Set Up.
In determining and assessing re-
sponsibility Of local and interna-
tional unions for illegal acts, the
board said it will follow these fun
damental rules:
/. The burden of proof that the
perpetrator of an Illegal act is an
agent of q labor organization rests
upon the party asserting the agency
relationship
2. Agency is a contractural re-
lationship. deriving from the mutual
consent of principal and agent that
the agent shall act for the principal.
The principals consent, however,
may be manifest by conduct, some
times even passive acquiesence as
well as by words.
8. A principal, such as a labor
union, may be responsible for the act
of his agent within the scope of the
agents general authority, even
though the principal may have spe-
cifically forbidden the act in ques-
ton.
Local Found Responsible.
Following through, the board
found the Petaluma local was re-
sponsible for the illegal acts because
a vice president and business agent
took part in the coercive activities.
On the more important point, the
board majority held the interna-
tional responsible for the illegal acts
because it stated the strike and
picketing were a joint enterprise Of
it and the local; the presence at the
scene of an international officer at q
time illegal acts took place, and
failure of the international Ito dis
avow the illegal activities -"

dock and ]. Copeland Gray Joined
in the majority opinion.
The Herzog Houston minority
opinion stated the decision may
determine the course of industrial
controversy and the rights Of en-
ployers and employees in the years
ahead" The dissent was entirely
as to responsibility of the interna-
tional.
Because we think that clear proof
of agency is lacking here" the mi
nority stated, that uncertain ad-
missions in pleadings and surmises
as to the probabilities cannot and
should not be substituted for such
proof, and that the board should fix
its standards with. particular care
in making threshold interpretations
of new statutory provisions, we
would-while holding Local 6 and its
Petaluma unit liable-dismiss this
particular complaint as against the
interna tional."
