As an outgrowth of the amicabIe set
Element OF the plumbers strike, few
days ago, which provided that Journey
men should work only for members of
the Master Plumbers Association. a
lsait for $4,000 damages has been insti-
| tuted in the Federal Court against
members of both the Journeymen's
Union and the Master Plumbers Asso-
Iciation
Charles II. Brown is the complainant
land his suit brings out a peculiar state
iof facts. He was, it seems, the only
lone of the master plumbers who agreed
to pay the rate of Sc per day demanded
Iby the men, and when the strike was
tsettled he suffered on that account One
Of the stipulations in the agreement
was that journeymen should work for
no one not members of the Master
plumbers Association. of which Mr.
brown was voted out because he sign
led the agreement.
| Mr. Brown, who is a master plumb
Ter, had two men in his employ whom he
Twas paying s6 per day. and who were
under the terms of the agreement COM
lpelled to leave him. Thus Mr.. Brown
Though willing to pay more than the
n scale of $3.50, was unable to secure
Workmen because he was not mem
Der of the Master Plumbers Associa-
ition, which he AYERS in his petition he
lcannot join because he would by so do
ling become a party to the. contract
thus rendering himself liable to pros j.
Iecution
The action is brought under section Z
of IAN act to protect trade and com
, Imerce against unlawful restraints and
monopolies."
The petition Is as follows:
