General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Labor Board v. Pittsburgh Steamship Co. No. 258 Argued April 19, 1949 Decided June 20, 1949 337 U.S. 656
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. In a proceeding under the Wagner Act, 49 Stat. 449, the National Labor Relations Board adopted a trial examiner’s findings without substantial change, and issued a cease and desist order against an employer. The Court of Appeals, without passing upon the sufficiency of the evidence, held that the findings and the order were invalidated by the trial examiner’s bias as disclosed by his crediting Board witnesses and discrediting witnesses for the employer, and refused enforcement of the order.
Held: the decision of the Court of Appeals refusing enforcement of the order, on the ground of the trial examiner’s bias, was not supported by the record. Pp. 657-660.
2. The Administrative Procedure Act and the Taft-Hartley Act were enacted after the Board’s order and before the Court of Appeals’ decision. Questions as to the applicability and possible effect of either or both of those Acts were apparently not dealt with by the Court of Appeals, and were not briefed with any elaboration before this Court.
Held: although the evidence in the case was sufficient under the Wagner Act to sustain the Board’s findings and order, the cause is remanded to the Court of Appeals for consideration of the applicability and possible effect of the Administrative Procedure Act and the Taft-Hartley Act, which questions should be considered in the first instance by that Court. Pp. 661-662.
167 F.2d 126, reversed.
