CompFox AI Summary
The complainant, Bemis Bro. Bag Company, sought an injunction against the National Labor Relations Board and Local No. 1838, United Textile Workers of America, to halt proceedings and prevent enforcement of the National Labor Relations Act. The company argued the Act was unconstitutional, violating the Tenth, Fifth, and Seventh Amendments, and exceeded Congressional power by attempting to regulate intrastate operations. Presiding District Judge Martin considered the ex parte application for a stay order, but ultimately denied it. The court emphasized its firm principle of judicial restraint, holding that an act of Congress should only be struck down if its unconstitutionality is beyond a reasonable doubt. Finding no such certainty regarding the National Labor Relations Act, the court refused to interfere with the executive board's proceedings.
