Federal Judge Strikes Down 7 A Provisions In 1930s Case
In Wilmington Judge John N. Nields ruled section 7-A of the National Industrial Recovery Act unconstitutional as applied to Weirton Steel Co. The decision denied the government injunction stopping collective bargaining rights and was expected to prompt an appeal and potential Supreme Court review. Francis Biddle, head of the labor relations board, said the ruling would not halt the board’s work and may hasten a high court ruling helpful to labor boards.

It found that manufacturing operations are not interstate commerce and that employee representation operates independently of the defendant. The decision emphasizes lawful, employee-initiated bargaining and dismisses interference claims.
