LABOR UNIONS — The decree enjoining appellants from maintaining a picket line On a highway at a point where appellee's track crosses the highway before entering the plant of Ozark Hardwood Company whose employees are on strike reversed and dismissed.
Appeal from Johnson Chancery Court; C. M. Wofford, Chancellor on Exchange; reversed.
T. J. Gentry, Wm. P. Alexander and J. K. Shamburger, for appellant.
Henry Donham, Thomas B: Pryor, Jr., and Thomas Harper, for appellee.
This case is in all material respects similar to Mo. Pac. R. Co. v. United Brick Clay Workers Union, Local No. 602, also decided today, ante, p. 707, 238 S.W.2d 945. Here the railroad company was successful in obtaining an injunction to prevent the appellants from maintaining a picket line upon a highway at a point where the railroad spur track crosses the highway just before entering the plant of the Ozark Hardwood Company, whose employees are on strike. For the reasons given in the other opinion the decree is reversed and the cause dismissed.
For the reasons more particularly stated in our dissent to the case of Missouri Pacific Railroad Company v. United Brick Clay Workers Union, Local No. 602, ante, p. 707, 238 S.W.2d 945, (opinion delivered April 9, 1951), Justice HOLT and I dissent from the majority opinion in the case at bar.
