HAGUE V. COMMITTEE FOR INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION
307 U.S. 496 (1939)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the arbitrary exclusion of union organizers
from public places in a city.
FACTS: The bill alleges that the officials who run Jersey City have repeatedly denied
respondents the right to hold public meetings in the city for their stated purpose of
organizing unorganized workers into unions. They did this by ordinance. Petitioners state
that their sole purpose is to explain to workingmen the purposes of the National Labor
Relations Act, the benefits to be derived from it, and the aid which the Committee for
Industrial Organization would furnish workingmen to that end. Petitioners state that all the
activities in which they seek to engage in Jersey City were, and are, to be performed
peacefully, without intimidation, fraud, violence, or other unlawful methods. The bill
charges that the ordinances are unconstitutional and void, or are being enforced in an
unconstitutional and discriminatory way. Petitioners alleged they have been deprived of the
privileges of free speech and peaceable assembly.
