District Court, W.D. Pennsylvania January 17, 1973, Civ. A. 72-1056 (Local Union No. 67 of International Union of United Brewery, Flour, Cereal, Soft Drink & Distillery Workers v. Duquesne Brewing Co.)

OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS

KNOX, District Judge.

It is trite to point out that the federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction and that they possess only such powers as are granted to them by the Constitution and laws of the United States. This principle is often overlooked, however, by counsel and litigants alike and the instant case is another illustration.
