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, modifying its terms to remove the requirement of a labor dispute, and upheld the lower courts' judgments. The Court held that the Texas statute restricting picketing to existing labor disputes is unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment, but sustained the injunction because the picketing's purpose was to violate a state law prohibiting discrimination based on union membership.
