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 />
