Supreme Court Rules Against Racial Job Displacement Claim
In a 6 to 3 decision, the Supreme Court holds the Railway Labor Act bars unions from using power to remove colored workers to favor white workers. The ruling cites an agreement between the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the St Louis-San Francisco that threatened Negro porters with loss of jobs for not being white.
