Oregon Picketing Law
Ruled Unconstitutional
Oregon's new anti-picketing law
was declared unconstitutional
Wednesday by Circuit Judge O. J.
Millard of Grants Pass. The law,
passed by the 1953 Oregon legis
lature, banned picketing for the
purpose of forcing employees to
join unions.
Millard said that the law con
flicts with the first amendment
of the United States constitution,
as well as court decisions and an
Oregon law of 1940.
He stated that it was a test
case, and that it will undoubtedly
be appealed to the Oregon supreme
court. Millard ruled on a case in
which the state labor examiner
sought an injunction to force the
AFL Culinary Alliance to stop
picketing a Grants Pass restaur
ant.
The owner of the restaurant
asked for an injunction under the
anti-picketing law. The injunction

the Northwest’s top bands and
Portland's largest organized unit.
Ticket sales will begin next
week, according to Bob Berry, co
chairman for tickets, and house
representatives will be announced
early next week.
The Senior ball is for everyone
on campus, Ben Schmidt, senior
class representative, stressed at
Wednesday’s joint meeting of the
dance’s committee chairmen with
senior class officers.
was granted by the state labor
examiner. When the union refused
to comply with the injunction Mil
lard was asked to enforce it.
In the opinion he issued Thurs
day Millard said that since the
state law is unconstitutional, the
injunction cannot be issued. He
issued his opinion in a 40-page
document which said that the sec
tion of the law which restricts
picketing activity is clearly un
constitutional.
Deuces on 52nd St. in New York,
The English artist’s original styla
and superb technique amazed New
York audiences.
Shearing met his wife Trixie
m an air raid shelter in London in
