The disagreement Of Inspectors Chalk
and Monaghan in the case of w. w.
Wood, claimant, and Tracey Warren
and F. w. Lee, respondents, Is the
topic of much discussion among the
members Of the Licensed Tugmen's as
ISOLATION at present.
Mr.. Wood claims that Tracey War;
rem and F. w. Lee, members of the
Tugmen's union, violated the laws of
the United States in refusing to work
with him because he was not men,
Der of their organization. The case
will next be heard before District In
spector Sloane Of Dubuque, Iowa. AS
it will develop into a test case, it will
eventually end In the supreme court.
Should the supreme court decision
be against u.s." said one of the men,
bers Of the association, yesterday,
every one Of US will hand back our
license and say that it does not protect
us
Another said II will throw up my
license before I will permit it to make
me a slave. I, as an American citizen,
want to be at liberty to quit my job
at any time see flt."
The case will involve the future well
fare of the Tugmen's Association, and
should the decision be against them
and they hand in their licenses in a
body, it will mean the same as a strike
and will have the same effect.
