High Court Bolsters Property Rights in Labor Clash
Illinois Appellate Court rules sitdown strikers cannot seize employer property to defy court orders and fines. Judges uphold Lake County penalties for 39 CIO unionists tied to the Fansteel strike in February 1957, with sentences from 10 days to eight months and fines up to $1,000. Judge Dore cites Wagner Act limits on police powers and asserts violent acts by workers or employers do not justify illegal seizure.
