The court refused to rule on whether movie censorship is legal. The case involved the movie “Cur- ley.” The Memphis board of censors refused to approve the film because it shows Negro and white children playing together. On another labor matter, the Su- preme Court ruled out a Michigan state law to curb strikes—on the ground that it conflicts with the Taft-Hartley Act. The Michigan law barred strikes unless a majority of the workers involved voted to walk out.
