Most-quoted passages
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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t is clear to us that the Federal Courts are not charged by federal law with the duty or function of policing the parties in the performance of collective bargaining agreement entered into pursuant to the Railway Labor Act. Congress did not, by the Railway Labor Act, grant jurisdiction to the Federal Courts to afford relief for breaches of performance of collective bargaining agreements. Appropriate tribunals have been established for that purpose. 45 U.S.C.A. § 153 ; National Railroad Adjustment Board; Slocum v. D. L. & W. R. Co., 339 U.S. 239 , 70 S.Ct. 577 [ 94 L.Ed. 795 ]. It is only when collective bargaining agreements are unlawfully entered into or when the agreements themselves are unlawful in terms or effect, that federal courts may act. This is made quite clear by the Supreme Court in Steele v. Louisville & N. R. Co., 323 U.S. 192 , 65 S.Ct. 226 , 89 L.Ed. 173 and Tunstall v. Brotherhood, 323 U.S. 210 , 65 S.Ct. 235 , 89 L.Ed. 187 . * * *”
