Malone v. Employment Security Commission

A manufacturing concern, Champion Spark Plug Company, laid off a considerable number of employees, including all of the plaintiffs in this case, in the spring of 1954. Plaintiffs then sought and, except for a period of 2 weeks hereinafter discussed, received unemployment compensation until called back to work in the fall of 1954.

The exception which occasions this appeal concerns the weeks ending July 31st and August 7th which the company determined to be a vacation period and during which it paid these plaintiffs various sums called for by its contract with the union.
