State's High Court Rules on Demurrer in West Virginia Store Case
The ruling overruled a demurrer for all defendants except Morrison company. Hamstead and Stewart argued the temporary restraining order should have been granted pending merits hearing. A 28 year employee of the Morgan town West Virginia department stores chain alleged an unidentified labor union pressured signing of a contract against a 51 percent consent rule. They sought an injunction against three pickets in front of the store. Hamstead said this was the first case where employees banded to halt union activities, with the union’s identity undisclosed.
