Marshall and Charles Houston. 111. Professor John Wennersten, "Terror in the Tidewater: The George Armwood Case, 1933." 112. Roderick N. Ryon, "Old West Baltimore," 77 Md. Hist. Mae. 54, 63 (1982). 113. Elvira Bond was the wife of attorney Roy S. Bond. 114. Green v. Samuelson, 168 Md. 421, 429 (1935). In New Negro Alliance v. Sanitary Grocery Co., 92 F. 2d 510 (D.C. Cir. 1937), the D. C. Circuit upheld an injunction of a similar protest in the District of Columbia on the authority of Green. The protest in the District of Columbia was led by the mother of William Hastie, who later became a Judge of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. This decision was reversed by the Supreme Court in New Negro Alliance v. Sanitary Grocery Co., 303 U.S. 552 (1938), The Supreme - Court held that picketing to secure employment for blacks was a labor dispute for purposes of the Norris LaGuardia Act of 1932 which prohibited federal courts from issuing an injunction against picketing in a labor dispute. This decision did not effect the power of state courts to issue injunctions, however. The protest movement for black employment in Maryland abated as job opportunities opened during the military buildup for World War II, although the opening of jobs was abetted by the action of the leaders of the black community. 115. Id at 426. 116. Id at 429. 117. Henry Jared McGuinn, "The Courts and the Occupational Status of Negroes in Maryland," 18 Social Forces 256, 266-68 (1939). 118. Henry Jared McGuinn, "The Courts and Equality of Educational Opportunity," 9 J. of Neg. Ed. 150.155 (1939). 119. 30 F. Supp. 245 (1939). Mills' first suit was dismissed on the grounds that he failed to sue the proper party. In Mills v. Lowndes, 26 F. Supp. 792 (1939), Mills sued the Governor and other state authorities to invalidate the state law which set minimum teachers salaries at different levels based on race. The Court dismissed the suit on the grounds that the specific salary Mills received was determined by the county, and did not depend on minimums established by the state. 120. 149 F. 2d 212 (4th Cir. 1945) 121. The first case attacked the Texas primary scheme, Nixon v. Condon, 286 U.S. 73 (1932), but Texas was able to evade the impact of that decision by redesigning its primary system to avoid the finding of state action. Grovey v. Townsend, 295 U.S. 45 (1935). 220 |
