Sheriff Murphy quoted the following language from a ruling of the Virginia court of appeals relative to picketing: "Pickets may be established about factories and places where non-union men are employed, provided the number of pickets is not so great as to overawe or intimidate the non-union workers, or in any manner obstruct the street or sidewalk, and providing the so-called pickets confine themselves to the use of peaceful persuasion or argument with the non-union employees; but, It the watching or picketing is carried to an extent which causes Intimidation or amounts to coercion, compulsion, or molesta-tln in any form of the non-union workers or their employers, it is unlawful and the combination making use of such unlawful means is a conspiracy."
