Decision Date | 29 December 1931 |
Docket Number | No. 4585.,4585. |
Citation | 54 F.2d 923 |
Parties | McMURRAY et al. v. BROTHERHOOD OF RAILROAD TRAINMEN et al. |
Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Third Circuit |
Van A. Barrickman, of Pittsburgh, Pa., for appellants.
E. B. Strassburger and E. E. McMonigle, both of Pittsburgh, Pa., for appellees.
Before BUFFINGTON, WOOLLEY, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
In the court below William F. McMurray and others, members of a local labor lodge, brought a bill in equity against the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, a corporation of Ohio, and the parent organization of the local organization here concerned. As the case developed, it became clear that what was involved was seniority employment in an interstate railroad run and that the parties in interest in that question were the members of the local lodge in Pennsylvania at one end and the members of a local lodge in Ohio at the other end of the run. The dispute had been eventually carried to the highest tribunal of the Brotherhood and the contention of the Ohio lodge had been there sustained.
On final hearing the court below held:
We agree with that view and, therefore, affirm the judgment below.
