goods. The association will make its
start. next month.

A decision was given yesterday by Justice Gaynor.

for the Children's Jacket Makers Union over the

was finally arbitrated, and the tailors gave
chattel mortgage on their sewing machines to the
union to secure a contract OF employment. They
said that the union threatened to foreclose the
mortgage and then they went to court and asked
for an Injunction to restrain the foreclosure and for
a Judgment declaring the mortgage void on the
ground that 1t was given without any consideration
The cascswas tried before Justice Gaynor , VINO
