BAKES, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the result reached by the majority in this case. Section 3031 of the Labor Management Relations Act does grant to plaintiffs in this action a cause of action for damages as a result of union activities prohibited by Section 8(b)(4).2 As the opinion of Justice McQuade correctly points out, Section 303 embodies a clear exception to what would otherwise be the exclusive jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board in situations where the Garner-Morton cases 3 would otherwise apply. The district court should have assumed jurisdiction and decided the case.
