Supreme Court ends 1937 38 term with labor and stockyards rulings

It declined action on Thomas J Mooney’s parole case, delaying a ruling until next October. The court also upheld the national labor relations board in two cases, ordering vacating a Philadelphia appeals ruling against Republic Steel and denying a review of Remington Rand re employment of 4 000 strikers.
