Nathan Greene (lawyer)

He cofounded the International Juridical Association and cowrote The Labor Injunction with his professor and future Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter.

In the 1950s, he served as special counsel to Lazard Freres & Co. and joined the Development and Resources Corporation or "D&R," founded in 1955 by David E. Lilienthal.

(Lilienthal, leader of the Tennessee Valley Authority or "TVA," also worked for Lazard Freres and then formed D&R as an engineering and consulting firm which shared some TVA objectives, i.e., in supporting major public power and public works projects for overseas clients, including: Iran, Colombia, Ghana, India, Italy, Morocco, Nigeria, South Vietnam, and Venezuela.

Of King, Greene said: She made you feel that unless you took the case or wrote the brief, the guy would be deported and maybe killed in his home country.

"[2] In 1937, with other IJA members, Greene helped write an amici curiae on behalf picketers, whom the U.S. Supreme Court had bared during Senn v. Tile Layers Protective Union.

I have heard an important person in this City defend what he called Henry Ford's right of free speech in the cases I have discussed.

[2]In the speech, Greene also criticized the ACLU, which "hoped that on a level playing field, workers' private collective strength could effectively counter the power of capital.

Its onetime allies [i.e., including the IJA] reminded it, unavailingly, that background inequalities made its vision fanciful – that employer speech was "a protected commodity in a monopoly market.

"[2][12] The article was "a learned and effective plea against the use of injunctions to curb the self-help methods of organized labor and in favor of the then pending Norris-LaGuardia Act.
