The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““And it appears clear enough that Garvey’s threats, communicated first to the foreman and then to the manager of plaintiff’s employer, caused him to lose his position as a foreman of the gang and afterwards occasioned the cancellation of his several contracts. Besides the testimony of the manager of the St. Louis Roofing Company that he cancelled plaintiff’s contracts in order to obviate the trouble and loss which would be entailed as a result of Garvey’s “pulling off his men,” or ordering a strike, plaintiff testified: “Mr. Holland told me that they was too busy to have any trouble anfl he says, ‘I will have to take them contracts away from yon.’ ””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Here it appears, and this too without contradiction, that Garvey represented the other defendants, all of whom are officers of Local Union No. 1, in threatening to pull off the union men employed by plaintiff's employers, the St. Louis Roofing Company, unless it terminated all beneficial business relations with plaintiff. The evidence is abundant that Garvey was acting within the scope of his authority as business agent of the union and carrying out both the letter and spirit of its rules and regulations in so doing. * * *”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Clarkson v. Laiblan“as he threatened. It appears plaintiff had been a member of the union theretofore and that Mr. Holland, Manager of the St. Louis Roofing Company, had employed its members for years. Both of these witnesses testified that Garvey possessed authority in this behalf, and indeed, the entire evidence affords a strong inference to that effect.”
