Supreme Court Upheld CIO Spending Ban Challenge
The Supreme Court refused to intervene in a lower court ruling upholding the Taft Hartley Act non communist affidavit provision. It also upheld an indictment against the CIO for spending union funds to support a Democratic candidate, but did not declare the spending ban unconstitutional. The decision, delivered unanimously by Justice Reed, preserves the challenge to the spending ban while outlining limits. Philip Murray and CIO leaders faced charges tied to CIO News endorsements, with potential fines and penalties at stake.
