Of the freedom of the press.”
The majority opinion affirmed
the order of the National Labor

ris Watson, New York editorial
employee.
Watson contended he was dis
missed because of has activities
in connection -with the American
Newspaper Guild. The Assoc tat

Labor Act by discouraging mem

ed the legislation was a violation
of the freedom of the press and
that it took property without
