ing company sued the Amalgamated |
Sheet Metal Workers International |
Alliance and Local Union 141 of the /
| same organization, together with their /
| officers, for $4,000 damages. The suit |
is the outgrowth OF trouble between I
Jacob Freund and Edward Barry. bust /
ness agent and general organizer OF /
| the Metal Workers Union 1t is also /
a retaliation for a suit for the same
amount filed recently by Barry against
Freund, charging that Freund assault
ed him at the New Avondale school
during an alteration over the calling
of a strike of Freund's employees.
Freund, through his attorneys, com
plains that because he would not
agree to certain exactions Of the union
a strike of his employees was called,
his place was picketed and he was
prevented from filling the strikers
places. AS the result of his diminish
ed forces, he says, he has been pre-
vented from properly prosecuting his
business and earning his customary
profits.
Paris, France.-A nice point of law
in regard to the relations of employer
and employee has been raised by the
decision of some 200 journeymen bak-
ers of Paris, who recently went on
strike, and whom their former en-
ployers declined TO take back, now
that the strike is ended, TO sue for
damages, on the ground of brusQue
dismissal The mems contention is
that the cessation of work because of
strike is not rupture, but a legiti-
mate suspension of the contract en-
tered into between employer and en-
ployed.
