Union leaders criticize high court on duplex decision
In Washington on January 6 Frank Morrison of the AFL denounced the Supreme Court ruling on the Duplex Printing Press and Steel Trust cases as a decisive blow to labor. He argued the decision undermines organized labor by labeling secondary boycotts illegal under the Sherman act, and called for renewed labor efforts to regain ground. Morrison contrasted the ruling with the court’s stance on the United States trust, saying the minority’s anti trust critique showed legal risk to public interests and foreign trade. He said the Duplex decision reflects the Machinists’ push for better conditions and warned the policy should be condemned despite the workers’ tactics. Morrison warned labor may need to start over to recover.
