Supreme Court Tries Labor Strike Case Amid Dissenting Views
The dissenting justices Brandeis Holmes and Clarke argue the court should have considered special facts showing union action tied to the strike at Civilex. They say defendants pursued lawful aims, not maliciously, and that the union did not induce hire-contract breaches or violence. The minority recounts a history of four printing plants, unions winning demands at three, and a strike at Duplex, with secondary boycott claims rejected.

Georgia and Florida railroad faces national wage scale crisis
The Georgia and Florida railroad seeks a $2 million loan from the Interstate Commerce Commission to avoid foreclosure. A readjusted wage scale began January 1, aiming to cover operating costs and interest on certificates, while critics warn the prior 1920 scale cannot sustain operations. If workers reject the plan, court action may force cause to disband the line, risking jobs and a regional impact. The dispute pits employees against the public, with broader implications for similar railroads nationwide.
