Decided November 22, 1943 *

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

Syllabus

Upon the authority of General Committee of Adjustment v. Missouri-Kansas-Texas R. Co., ante, p. 323, and Switchmen’s Union v. National Mediation Board, ante, p. 297, held, that the questions in this case -- arising out of a so-called jurisdictional controversy between labor unions -- are not justiciable issues under the Railway Labor Act, and the District Court was without power to resolve them. P. 343.

132 F.2d 194 reversed.

Certiorari, 319 U.S. 736, on cross-petitions to review a judgment which modified and affirmed a decree determining on the merits a suit for a declaratory judgment.
