Dallas General Drivers, Warehousemen and Helpers v. Wamix, Incorporated of Dallas

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' judgment, holding that the state court had jurisdiction to entertain the damages suit and could grant ancillary injunctive relief because the Union failed to prove that Wamix's business affected interstate commerce. The Court dissolved two portions of the temporary injunction—restraining insulting language and false statements about strike breakers—while modifying but upholding the picketing injunction. Justice Smith dissented, arguing that the state court lacked jurisdiction to grant any injunctive relief in a labor dispute.
