Construction and General Labor Union, Local No. 688 v. H. I. Stephenson

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the permanent injunction against the unions' picketing of Stephenson's house‑moving job, holding that the injunction is proper because the picketing was intended to cause a violation of Article 5207a, a valid state statute, and because the statutory requirement that a labor dispute exist is invalid. The Court also held that Article 5154f cannot be used to sustain the injunction as it conflicts with the Fourteenth Amendment, though it was not needed to decide the case. Justice Griffin, concurring, agreed with the affirmation but argued the constitutional question was unnecessary.
