Mine Workers v. Railing

No. 1059

Decided March 22, 1971

401 U.S. 486

ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED

STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

Syllabus

Case remanded for further consideration, in light of Zenith Radio Corp. v. Hazeltine Research, ante, p. 401 U. S. 321, of questions involving accrual of causes of action under § 303 of the Labor Management Relations Act and § 4 of the Clayton Act.

Certiorari granted; 429 F.2d 780, vacated and remanded.

PER CURIAM.

The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted, the judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for further consideration in light of Zenith Radio Corp. v. Hazeltine Research, Inc., ante, p. 401 U. S. 321. Both § 303 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 1947, 61 Stat. 158, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 187, and § 4 of the Clayton Act, 38 Stat. 731, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 15, give a cause of action for injury to business or property. Whether suits under the two statutes are distinguishable for purposes of determining the time at which a cause of action accrues warrants further exploration by the Court of Appeals. Further attention should also be given to the question of why a § 303 cause of action has sufficiently accrued to bring suit as soon as the plaintiff suffers damage, but has not sufficiently accrued to start the running of the statute of limitations on the damages already suffered and for which suit may, be but is not, brought.

THE CHIEF JUSTICE and MR. JUSTICE HARLAN would grant the petition for a writ of certiorari and set the case for argument on the merits.
