Synopsis

The Supreme Court held that a dispute between the New Negro Alliance and Sanitary Grocery Co. constituted a labor dispute under the Norris-LaGuardia Act even though it did not involve traditional employment terms such as wages, hours, or unionization, but rather concerned the grocer's hiring practices and discrimination against Black workers. The Court's amendment to its opinion clarified that labor disputes under the Act extend beyond disputes over conventional working conditions to encompass broader disputes about employment opportunities and discriminatory hiring practices.

Opinion of the Court

It is ordered that the opinion in this cause be amended (lj by striking out the last three sentences in the first full paragraph on page 5 and substituting therefor the following: “The Court of Appeals thought thát the dispute'was not a labor dispute within the Norris-LaGuardia Act because it did not involve terms and conditions of employment such as wages, hours,- unionization or betterment of, working conditions, and that the trial court, therefore; had jurisdiction to issue the injunction. We think the conclusion that the dispute was not a_ labor dispute within the meaning of the Act, because it did not involve terms and conditions of employment in the sense of Wages, hours, unionization or betterment of working conditions is erroneous.”;

(2) By striking out of the second full paragraph on page 6 the first and second sentences and so much of the third sentence as reads: “In the first place” and starting a new sentence with a capital “T”;

(3) By striking out the words. “In the second place” in the fourth sentence in the second full paragraph on page 6 and beginning the sentence with a capital “T.”
