Reversal of NLRB Order Over Martinsburg Quarry Strike
In Asheville on June 14, the fourth circuit voided an NLRB order directing Standard-Lime and Stone to reinstate workers at the Martinsburg West Virginia plant after its April 1935 closure. Violence followed resumed work. 16 strikers were sentenced, eight to 100 years, for property damage and related crimes. The NLRB had ruled the union the sole bargaining representative and said all workers except those imprisoned should be rehired.
