Steve, the National Labor Relations Act regulating labor-management relations did not come into existence until a decade after that contract was signed, so the law of the land was whatever contract a company and union worked out regarding organizing before then. If no contract existed, then organizing was based on whatever method a union could get away with (on or off the property) before Brinks and a few other security organizations caught them and "enticed" them to stop doing it. Sabotage was a common weapon employed by employees to get companies to recognize their union...strikes never really hurt companies given the unemployment levels of the Depression.
Don...yup! Card-check legislation will be on Obama's desk before the Spring.
