The New Negro Alliance was formed five years ago in Washington to "increase Joib placement ' for No gro«s.

It succeeded in seve ral cases but when it approached the Sanitary Grofiery Comf«^: which operated a chain oi stores- throughout th* city, it met st'ff resistance and started a picket ing campaiirn. The Sanitary Grocery Company obtained aft- injunction agfainst the Alliance on the ground that the controversy between the Al liance and the Company was not liam:e and _fl»e . .cjempan^, was I disputes ^ntl injp; dispute and not protected against court interference by the federal Norris LaiGuardia anti injunction act. The United States supretne offurt fBvsi*sed the lowef court in a dacisioh hand^ down March 28 stating: "Tk« d«*ir« /or fair and! equitabl* eonctitien* of •mploy- on tk« part of penoM of any race, coTor, or periua- t|M removal of di»- criininationi-' i^alntt them by reaaon of tkeir rae^ or religi ous baliefs ia quite as Mipoy- tant ttt t%pa« • Coni tijrVied «» fairneia and equity ' in tenki and' cottditiona of enpKoyment can be to tr^de or craft mnions of labor erganlza- Rme«^ dii- by an employer may reasonably be deemed mere unfair and leaa exeuaablo than disc rimina|4ion ajk^inat workers on the ground of union affliliation.” The Court ruled squarely that the dispute was i labor dispute and that the Alliance had the right to picket peacefully with out interference by the District courts. “This decision will serve as a precedent,” said the NA'A' Cf,' "in all s^tes l^avmsr labor NOBLE iSISSLE, intemat- ionaily known musiciaa wko was a visitor in Durhatm this yr*ak.
