New York on February 26 James M Beck general counsel of the American Anti Boycott association says the Supreme Court decision in the Danbury hat case upholds constitutional liberty of contract and will undermine labor slavery schemes backed by Gompers and his federation. Beck argues the court’s ruling supports freedom against federal pressure to submit to federation dictates and cites broader labor struggles and potential employer relief products.
