Supreme Court limits on union political spending in press
The Supreme Court ruled that Taft Hartley does not bar newspapers funded by labor unions from participating in political campaigns. The decision leaves unions to gauge how far their spending may go, with time constraints delaying a definitive ruling before November elections. The court also upheld union financial reporting and rejected reviewing the non Communist affidavit issue. Additionally, the court upheld deportation orders and allowed use of business records in regulatory enforcement, while upholding a $5000 fine for a New York city wholesaler for wartime tie in sales.
