GREAT PROTEST DEMONSTRATION
By the Indianapolis Machinsts Against Court Ruling
Authorizing Union Mans Home to Be Sold
From Over His Head

Carrying a score of banners with
captions ridiculing Mayor Book

b. Anderson of the Federal Court
of indianapolis, Ind, 5000 mem
bers of organized labor Joined in Il
parade four abreast, and moved in
an enthusiastic, though orderly,
procession through the down-t town
streets of the city TO Tomlnson
Hall.
The parade and meeting that
followed were to protest against
the recent Federal Court decision
whereby a strikers house and
home were sold under the hammer
to satisfy the cost incurred by the
Pope Motor Car Co. in securing an
injunction against the MachinistS'
union. Louis w Poehler, the
machinist whose property was con-
fiscated, was not all employe of the
Pope Motor Car Co., nor was the
Judgment to cover the fines by
reason of a violation Of an injunc,
ton. There was no violation.
y strike of machinistS took place
in the Pope Motor Car Co. in that
city and the men proceeded to
picket the plant to prevent non
unionists from being employed.
The company brought a number of
men there, but many of them never
reached the plant, being pcrsuad-
ed to return to their homes.
The company applied to the
court for an injunction to prevent
the pickcting of their shop. which
was granted, but not until Il large
bill Of costs had been piled up.
This the company demanded should
be paid by the machinists.
The injunction had been issued
against the Machinists' Union as
an organization and against its
members as individuals. The
unioh had no tangible property
and the court was asked TO instruct
its officers to proceed against such
Individuals among the strikers as
had property not exempt under
the homestead law.
Louis W. Poehler and Joseph
W. Feltz, two of the striking
machinists, were discovered to
have unincumbered real estate.
Fee bill were issued against them
and their property was advertised
for sale. The Poehler property
brought $500. and as this sum
was ample to pay the costs the
FeltZ home was not sold. The
trust company that purchased the
property paid the money into
the court and the title will pass
from Poehler unless he redeems it
within the next sixty days.
The name of Poehler does not ap-
pear anywhere III the proceedings
except as a member of the Machin-
lists Union. He was Il striker.
