In Louisiana, the State Supreme Court, by a 4-to-3 decision, held that employers, once they sign a closed shop contract with unions, are legally bound by the agreement.
In Florida the State Supreme Court, also by a 4-to-3 vote, refused to stop a suit started by Attorney General Tom Watson to annul a closed shop contract between A. F. of L. metal trades unions and the Tampa Shipbuilding Company.
