He said the law guarantees labor the right to organize, while allowing a local company union of a single employer.

Writ Seeks To Force Tax Levy In Huntington Case
The West Virginia supreme court heard two suits over tax levies in Cabell county. Jess Snider seeks an injunction to force uniform levies above current expenses to cover bonded debt, while W. E.
