The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1949-05-04


The highest court of the land
has been called upon to act on a
ruling made by the State Supreme
Court Of California on November
1, 194S, which held that Negroes
may be prohibited from peacefully
piclketing a store catering to
Negro trade for the purpose Of
inducing it to employ Negro work.
ers in the same proportion as
there are Negro citizens in the
community in which 1t operates.
This decision was made in the
case of John Hughes, an officer
in several organizations. and
Louis Richardson, president of the
Richmond. Calf. chapter of the
NAAcP. who were convicted for
contempt in violating prelimi-
nary injunction obtained by Lucky
stores. Inc. TO stop Negroes from
picketing that store.
The California Supreme court
held that the picketing was for an
unlawful objective and that IL the
store had met the demand II
would be 1.-The equivalent of both
a closed shop and a closed union
in favor of the Negro race"
The compliments claimed that
the refusal to allow peaceful pick
citing is violation. of free speech
and assembly. and that "by no
stretch of the imagination can a
race of people be considered
union" They further contended
that the court was wrong about
the picketing being for an unlaw-
full objective because the employ
ment of Negroes in the Lucky
store would not be a violation of
any state or federal law.
I'VE know of no principle of
common law that makes it unlaw-
full for a store owned by Catholics
to employ only Catholics. or for a
business to employ only those of
the Jewish faith" Therefore the
plaintiffs contended that it would
be no violation for chain retail
food store in a Negro neighbor-
hood to employ Negroes as one
half of its staff of clerks If so
per cent of its customers are
members of that race.
They declared that they were
only seeking equality of treatment
and not preference or discrimina-
ton in favor of Negroes against
whites.
The state of California declared
in its brief that "picketing to
compel discrimination is not
constitutionally protecting free
speech; and that picketing for
proportional employment is not
picketing for equality"
1t claims that Lucky store does
not discriminate against Negroes,
it employees on the basis of indi-
vidual merit without regard to
color.
The Supreme court has not yet
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1949-05-04

decided whether 1t will hear the
case of the California picketing.
If the court does decide to accept
the appeal, its decision will be
very significant one because pick
citing and boycotting have been
very prolific instruments in the
hands of Negro people to break
down discrimination in employ
ment at white business concerns.
