Plainly the union was not yet ready to start its big push against Ford. Its leaders were already having all the trouble, they could handle with Chrysler and their own turbulent followers...
...engaged in interstate commerce and hence subject to Congressional regulation-kept Supreme Court endorsement of it from being more than a shadowy clue to the Court's forthcoming decision on the Wagner Act. Well hedged by its qualifying clause was Mr. Justice Stone's remark: "The peaceable settlement of labor controversies, especially where they may seriously impair the ability of an interstate rail carrier to perform its service to the public, is a matter of public concern...
