Supreme Court of the United States

New Negro Alliance v. Sanitary Grocery Co.

April 25, 1938303 U.S. 552

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the New Negro Alliance’s picketing over employment of Negro clerks constituted a labor dispute within the meaning of §13 of the Norris‑LaGuardia Act, so the district court lacked jurisdiction to issue an injunction; the injunction was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings.
