Ed. 855, 61 S. Ct. 568; Cafeteria EmployeesUnion, Local 302, v. Angelos, 320 U.S. 293, 88 L. Ed. 58,64 S. Ct. 126 (this is subsequent to Carpenters and Joiners Union ofAmerica v.

The opinions of the United States supreme court which we have heretofore followed, hold that the constitutional guaranty of freedom of speech may not be abridged by judicial policy of a state to forbid resort to peaceful persuasion through picketing. We are concluded by the opinions of the United States supreme court, the latest of which is Cafeteria Employees Union v.Angelos, supra. That case was decided subsequent to Carpentersand Joiners Union of *Page 502 America v. Ritter, supra, on which the majority opinion is based.
The judgment should be affirmed.
