Legal ruling voids seizure of Ward properties by Roosevelt
Federal Judge Philip Sullivan ruled the seizure of Montgomery Ward and Company properties illegal on orders from President Roosevelt. The decision dismissed the government petition to uphold wartime labor directives and restrain Ward officials. The judge emphasized Congress must enact laws and Courts must interpret them, with War Labor Board directives remaining advisory. Present in court were Ward officials and international union leaders. The ruling marked a first round in the broader legal dispute as the government prepared to appeal.
