High Court Upholds Power in Labor Board Ruling
The Supreme Court upheld broad powers of the National Labor Board, ruling the D.C. Circuit cannot review the board's certification of a single union as exclusive representative for West Coast longshoremen. Justice Stone led the unanimous decisions, with Black delivering the third opinion, and McReynolds not participating. The cases involve Consumers Power workers and Falk Corporation employees, and the court affirmed the board’s authority to direct representation elections without federal court interference. A second notice reports painter Burt William White, Armenian-born landscape artist, died in Toronto after serving in the Spanish American War.
