OPINION
On March 27, 1967, plaintiff brought this action against defendant unions in the New York Supreme Court, Bronx County. Two days later defendants removed the case to this court, claiming federal jurisdiction upon the asserted ground that the complaint alleges violations under Section 8(b) (4) (B), (C) and (D) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 158(b) (4) (B), (C) and (D) ;* that the suit could, therefore, have been brought here under Section 303 of the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947 (LMRA), 29 U.S.C. § 187; and that the action was thus cognizable here under 28 U.S.C. § 1337 and removable under 28 U.S.C. § 1441. Plaintiff has moved to remand. The motion will be granted on the ground that the complaint, contrary to defendants’ view, cannot fairly be read to assert a claim within Section 303 of the LMRA.
The complaint alleges that plaintiff is a co-partnership owning and operating a bagel bakery in New York City; that until February 1,1967, plaintiff employed members of the defendant Local 338; that the collective agreements with that union expired on January 31, 1967; that beginning February 1, 1967, the co-partners and members of their immediate families took over the duties formerly performed by members of defendant Local 338; that members of defendant Local 802 worked at plaintiff’s premises before February 1, 1967, in connection with the wholesale sale and delivery of bagels; that plaintiff terminated its wholesale operations effective February 1, 1967, and has since engaged only in retail sales; that the duties formerly required by members of Local 802 are no longer required; and that the foregoing changes in plaintiff’s business operations were required for economic reasons. The complaint goes on to charge that defendants, by various forms of coercion and intimidation, have sought to compel the plaintiff to employ members of defendant unions; that as part of this effort, de*922fendants have picketed plaintiff’s place of business; and that the plaintiff has suffered interrupted deliveries, loss of retail custom, and other injuries for which injunctive relief and compensatory-damages are sought.
Two pairs of paragraphs in the complaint are asserted by defendants to show, respectively, claims of unfair labor practices under Section 8(b) (4) (B) and (D) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, and thus to fall within the provision for suits in federal as well as state courts under Section 303 of the LMRA. The relevant portions of the complaint are set out below, together with the reasons for the court’s conclusion that plaintiff has not in either instance asserted a removable federal claim.
1. Paragraphs 16 and 18 of the complaint read ás follows:
“16. That the defendants have been distributing bagels to plaintiff’s customers; have prevented deliveries to be made by suppliers to the plaintiff; have threatened and prevented plaintiff’s' customers from entering plaintiff’s premises and have conspired to economically injure the plaintiff.
***** *
“18. That upon information and belief by the aforesaid means, the defendants have induced many customers who otherwise would have purchased plaintiff’s products to refuse to enter plaintiff’s bakery and make purchases therein, and are continually persuading by unfair picketing and trying to persuade other customers to like action.”
It is slightly bemusing, if not necessarily surprising, that substantial labor organizations, for a momentary advantage, would purport to find in the foregoing charges “secondary boycott” activities such as those at which Congress aimed in Section 8(b) (4) (B). In any event, whatever plaintiff meant to allege, the decisions make it almost perfectly clear that the alleged activities are “primary” and not of the type forbidden by Section 8(b) (4) (B). See, e. g., National Woodwork Manufacturers v. NLRB, 386 U.S. 612, 87 S.Ct. 1250, 18 L.Ed.2d 357 (1967), where the Court reviewed the legislative and decisional history and divided on difficulties absent here; United Steelworkers of America v. NLRB, 376 U.S. 492, 84 S.Ct. 899, 11 L. Ed.2d 863 (1964); Bedford-Nugent Corp. v. Chauffeurs, Teamsters & Helpers, Local Union No. 215, 358 F.2d 21 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 385 U.S. 821, 87 S.Ct. 48, 17 L.Ed.2d 59 (1966).
2. Paragraphs 13 and 14 of the complaint read as follows:
“13. That the defendants herein, their agents, servants, and employees conspired with each other to intimidate the plaintiff by coercion, threats and persuasion to compel the plaintiff to employ members of defendants’ unions: that the said acts were committed knowingly, maliciously and willfully for the purpose of destroying the plaintiff’s business and for the purpose of forcing the plaintiff to employ members of defendants’ unions.
“14. That by reason of plaintiff's refusal to employ members of defendants’ unions and its assumption of the work formerly performed by its employees, defendants did commence on February 1,1967 and continuing to date to picket plaintiff’s place of business.”
Defendants purport to find in these allegations some intimation suggesting the type of “jurisdictional dispute” with which Section 8(b) (4) (D) is concerned.
“The prohibition of subsection (D) against coercion to force an employer to assign certain work to one of two unions contesting for it protects the employer trapped between the two claims.” National Woodwork Manufacturers v. NLRB, supra 386 U.S. at 625, 87 S.Ct. at 1258. There is no suggestion of that problem in the allegations of plaintiff’s complaint. The agency with primary jurisdiction over this subject has made it clear in repeated decisions that subsection (D) is not meant to reach conduct by a union seeking to compel reemployment of members who have been discharged and replaced as the *923result of business changes by an employer. See, e. g., International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 292 (Franklin Broadcasting Co.), 126 NLRB 1212 (1960); National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, 127 NLRB 1070 (1960); Chauffeurs, Teamsters and Helpers, Local 331, 139 NLRB 1391 (1962); The Metallic Lathers Union, Local 46, 156 NLRB 749 (1966).
It seems clear, in short, that defendants have strained hard but unsuccessfully to find federal violations in the state complaint against them.- At a minimum, the existence of federal jurisdiction is extremely doubtful, making the case an appropriate one for remand to the court in which plaintiff brought it.
The motion is granted. The case will be remanded to the New York Supreme Court, Bronx County.
It is so ordered.
