226 THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF <strong>NATIONAL</strong> <strong>LABOR</strong> <strong>RELATIONS</strong> <strong>BOARD</strong><br />

to reinstate 30 employees following a strike. The Court granted the<br />

Board's request for enforcement of its order directing the company to<br />

reinstate the employees who had been wrongfully discriminated<br />

against.<br />

SEVENTH CIRuui.i.<br />

In National Labor Relations Board v. Columbian, Enameling &<br />

Stamping Co., 96 F. (2d) 948, cert. granted October 10, 1938, the Court<br />

set aside an order of the Board requiring the company to reinstate<br />

strikers who had gone on strike before July 5, 1935, and to bargain<br />

collectively with the representatives of its employees. The Court<br />

found that the employees had, by striking, violated their contract.<br />

It held that such violation of contract before the effective datei of the<br />

Act had resulted in a discontinuance of their status as employees. On<br />

October 10, 1938, the Supreme Court granted the Board's petition<br />

for writ of certiorari to review this decision.<br />

NINTH CTIICIIIT u<br />

National Labor Relations Board v. Carlisle Lumber Company, 94<br />

F. (2d) 1038, cert. denied, 58 S. Ct. 1045, involved violations of section<br />

8 (1), (2), (3), and (5). The company had, on July 8, 1935, and<br />

on subsequent occasions thereafter, refused to bargain collectively<br />

with the representative of its employees who had gone on strike prior<br />

to the effective date of the act. The Court sustained the Board's findings<br />

of fact and approved an order requiring the company to cease<br />

and desist from its unfair labor practices and to reinstate its striking<br />

employees with back pay from July 29, 1935, the date of the company's<br />

first act of discrimination against all of the members of the union.<br />

In National Labor Relations Board v. Oregon -Worsted Company,<br />

96 F. (2d) 193, the Court sustained two orders of the Board directed<br />

against the Oregon Worsted Company. In the first case, the Board's<br />

findings were that the company had dominated and interfered with<br />

the formation and administration of a labor organization and had<br />

discriminatorily discharged one of its employees. The Board ordered<br />

the company to cease and desist from its unfair labor practices and to<br />

reinstate the wrongfully discharged employee with back pay. In the<br />

second case, the employees of the company had gone on strike as a<br />

result of the company's anti-union activities. The Board's order<br />

directed the company to offer reinstatement to its striking employees.<br />

The Board's findings of fact were sustained in full in both cases.<br />

National Labor Relations Board v. Star Publishing Company, 97<br />

F. (2d) 465, involved a dispute between rival labor organizations.<br />

The Court upheld the Board's finding that the company had violated<br />

section 8 (1) and (3) by transferring, to other jobs, its circulation<br />

employees who were members of the Newspaper Guild and replacing<br />

them with members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.<br />

The transfer had resulted in a strike on the part of the transferred<br />

employees. The Court rejected the company's argument that it was<br />

justified in discriminating against the members of the Guild because<br />

" In view of the Supreme Court decisions in Santa Cruz Fruit Packing Co. v. National<br />

Labor Relations Board, National Labor Relations Board v. Pacific Greyhound Lines, and<br />

National Labor Relations Board v. Mackay Rgdio G Telegraph Co., summarized on p. 222<br />

above, a discussion of the circuit court decisions in these cases will be omitted. They<br />

were discussed in the Second Anual Report, pp. 34 and 35, however.
