The 1939 Supreme Court decision Hague v. CIO was a constitutional
milestone that strengthened the right of Americans, including labor
organizers, to assemble and speak in public places. Donald W.
Rogers eschews the prevailing view of the case as a morality play
pitting Jersey City, New Jersey, political boss Frank Hague against
the Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO) and allied civil
libertarian groups. Instead, he draws on a wide range of archives
and evidence to re-evaluate Hague v. CIO from the ground up.
Rogers's review of the case from district court to the Supreme
Court illuminates the trial proceedings and provides perspectives
from both sides. As he shows, the economic, political, and legal
restructuring of the 1930s refined constitutional rights as much as
the court case did. The final decision also revealed that assembly
and speech rights change according to how judges and lawmakers act
within the circumstances of a given moment. Clear-eyed and
comprehensive, Workers against the City revises the view of a
milestone case that continues to impact Americans' constitutional
rights today.
