This is a petition for an order to adjudge respondent, Arcade-Sunshine Co., Inc., and a number of its officers and agents in contempt of this court for violations of its decree entered December 9, 1940, 118 F.2d 49. The decree affirmed an order of the Labor Board, requiring the corporation, its officers, agents, successors and assigns, (a) to reinstate one William Jones in his former position; (b) to cease and desist from discouraging membership in Laundry Workers, Cleaners and Dyers Union or any other labor organization of its employees by discharging or refusing to reinstate any employee or discriminating against him in regard to hire or tenure or terms of employment; and (c) to cease and desist from interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of their right of self-organization and their right to bargain collectively. The order required the corporation to post notices that it would not engage in conduct from which it was ordered to cease and desist.
The Board's petition charges that the corporation and certain of its named officers and agents have disobeyed and resisted the decree and have discharged certain named employees because of union activities and affiliation, and granted wage increases to other employees to the end of discouraging membership in the union; warned employees against joining the union and threatened them with dismissal; informed employees that the company would go out of business before it would recognize the union; disparaged the union and union members; accused union members of disloyalty; imposed new restrictions on union members; threatened to replace workers by machines and colored workers with white workers, if the former joined the union; promised night employees day work if they would not join the union; urged employees not to attend union meetings; coerced employees into signing a petition indicating opposition to the union; questioned employees about union membership, attendance at meetings, and other union affairs; warned employees that they had knowledge of meetings and attendance thereat; engaged in espionage for the purpose of interfering with the right of organization; sought to set up and recognize an employees' union for the purpose of discouraging membership in a national union and the exercise by its employees of rights guaranteed by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.
