Washington Supreme Court ruled a section of the Landrum Griffin Act barring Communists from union offices unconstitutional as a bill of attainder.

The ruling also addressed antitrust issues involving United Mine Workers and Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen, upholding limits on hours for meat sales while finding possible antitrust exposure for wage standards.
