State Courts Ponder Free Speech, Robert A. Purdue

Washington Law Review

This article will deal particularly with the control exercised by the United States Supreme Court over various state policies toward picketing, and will examine the coupling of that labor activity with freedom of speech.

Labor And The Secondary Boycott, Robert C. Barnard, Robert W. Graham Jul 1940

Labor And The Secondary Boycott, Robert C. Barnard, Robert W. Graham

Washington Law Review

Advisedly has the "boycott"' been characterized as "a chameleon that is impossible of definition." Only the epithet "secondary boycott has perhaps occasioned more intricate judicial gymnastics. Justice Steinert, writing for the Washington Supreme Court, has recently observed with perspicacity that "the term 'secondary boycott' is of somewhat vague signification and has no precise and exclusive denotation." In the field of labor relations, as in other branches of the law, bench and bar have leaned on the comforting pillar of "lump concept" thinking which has more than once done yeoman's service for judicial reasoning and analysis.

The Status Of The Right To Picket In Washington, Charles R. Carey Jun 1930

The Status Of The Right To Picket In Washington, Charles R. Carey

Washington Law Review

The recent decision of the Washington Supreme Court in the case of Sterling Chain Theatres, Incorporated, v. Central Labor Council of Seattle, et al., as to the right to picket, constitutes such a radical departure from the heretofore well-established law of this state, that a retrospection and analysis is essential to a better understanding as to the future solution of this question. In the instant case, the plaintiff sought to restrain as unlawful the acts of members of defendant union of maintaining peaceful patrols marching to and fro with placards signed by the council of all the unions, informing the …

Power Of Corporation To Discharge Those Employed Under Contract For Term Of Years, W. Harold Hutchinson May 1926

Power Of Corporation To Discharge Those Employed Under Contract For Term Of Years, W. Harold Hutchinson

Washington Law Review

Unfortunately for the prospective employee of a Washington corporation, the right to discharge him, even though employed under written contract for a term of years, is regulated by statute. The pertinent clause reads that the corporation shall have power "to appoint such officers, agents, and servants as the business of the corporation shall require, to define their powers, prescribe their duties, and to fix their compensation."
