Supreme Court limits AFL contract nullification power
The court ruled the national labor board had no right to nullify an AFL contract while affirming the board's broad jurisdiction over industry. It refused to authorize a writ of habeas corpus for Tom Mooney's counsel, and declined to review a slander suit by Bishop James Cannon Jr. against Rep. Tinkham. Decisions on TVA constitutionality and a state's vote change on a child labor amendment were postponed at least a week.

Supreme Court narrows NLRB power over contracts at Con Edison
The Supreme Court ruled the National Labor Relations Board exceeded its authority in voiding collective bargaining contracts between an AFL union and Consolidated Edison and affiliates. It upheld NLRB jurisdiction over such firms in interstate commerce but voided part of the board’s action against the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for failure to notify, noting the Brotherhood represented about 80 percent of eligible employees. Chief Justice Hughes stated the act lacks explicit power to invalidate contracts with independent or employer-dominated unions.

Alfred Reeves noted the industry’s shift since 1935 toward giving future patents to the developing company. Edsel Ford said Ford Motor permits open use of its patents and avoids royalty terms, while Packard under Alvan Macauley has charged royalties and will continue to do so.
