Recall Picket De Sign
A stock dividend of 18 percent by American Steel Foundries recalls the anti-picketing ruling. The Granite City Illinois plant wage cuts led to a workers strike and an injunction from Federal Judge Humphrey outlawing picketing and declaring the Granite City central body an illegal organization. The order was reversed by the federal court of appeals, and the Supreme Court ruled that picketing is allowed under court supervision with Chief Justice Taft suggesting one picket at each factory gate may suffice.
