Court upholds right to quit rather than labor under injunction
United States circuit court of appeals remands strike injunction rules, ruling that courts may not compel workers to stay in service or to quit only with circumstances, and that peaceful withdrawal from employment over wage reductions is allowed. Justice Harlan leads, noting freedom from involuntary servitude and limited reach of the Interstate Commerce Act. Ex-President Harrison attends the session as judges weigh the balance between labor rights and railroad trust duties.
