Synopsis

The Supreme Court granted certiorari in a dispute between the United Mine Workers of America and coal company operators regarding whether Section 303 of the Labor Management Relations Act and Section 4 of the Clayton Act are distinguishable in determining when a cause of action accrues for purposes of the statute of limitations. The Court vacated the judgment and remanded the case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of *Zenith Radio Corp. v. Hazeltine Research, Inc.*, directing further exploration of the timing requirements for accrual under these statutes.

The petition, for a writ of certiorari is granted, the judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for further consideration in light of Zenith Radio Corp. v. Hazeltine Research, Inc., ante, p. 321. Both § 303 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 1947, 61 Stat. 158, as amended, 29 U. S. C. § 187, and § 4 of the Clayton Act, 38 Stat. 731, as amended, 15 U. S. C. § 15, give a cause of action for injury to business or property. Whether suits under the two statutes are distinguishable for purposes of determining the time at which a cause of action accrues warrants further exploration by the Court of Appeals. Further attention should also be given to the question of why a § 303 cause of action has sufficiently accrued to bring suit as soon as the plaintiff suffers damage but has not sufficiently accrued to start the running of the statute of limitations on the damages already suffered and for which suit may be but is not brought. •
