Court of Appeals of New York

Claim that a criminal contempt charge in the prosecutor's information was jurisdictionally defective because it failed to state that the crime did not arise out of a "labor dispute" is denied, where the "labor dispute" clause operated as a proviso that the accused could raise in defense of the charge rather than an exception that must be pleaded by the People in the accusatory instrument.
