Injunction Asked Against he Federation

Question or Conspiracy by Labor Men
"A Rig Legal Battle is Expected.
WASHINGTON, Aug. I9.-An attack upon
the boycott system" Of the American
Federation OF Labor was begun here to-day
when James W. Van Cleve Of 1T. Louis,
president Of the American Association Of
Manufacturers, filed suit in the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia seeking
to restrain the federation and it's officers
from the use Of the unfair" and we don't
patronize' lists.
Samuel Gompers. president Of the fedora
tior. and other officers of the organization
arc named as defendants. Mr.. Van Cleve
brings tho suit as an individual but he has
the backing OF the association OF which he is
president and other similar organizations
II 10 understood that this is the beginning
Of big legal battle designed to prevent
the use Of the boycott against persons or
companies falling under the displcasure of
union labor.
Several broad questions Of law are in
volved in the suit. II raises the question
whether an order projecting a boycott or
the enforcement NJ the boycott is not a
conspiracy within the meaning Of the Sher-
man antitrust act.
The immediate provocation for the suit
filed to-day was the action Of the executive
council of the American Federation OF
Labor in putting the Buck Stove Com
pany Of St. Louis on the unfair list. This
was done some months ago. II was alleged
by the labor leaders that the stove COM
pany was put on the list on the ground Of
harsh treatment to certain Of its employees
who belonged TO the foundrymen's union.
This company denies that it ever had any
trouble with the foundrymens union
and declares that the boycott was declared
against il out Of malice.
The company seeks in this suit, among
others, a judicial opinion as to whether
the boycott has any standing in laws

pany, having failed to sell the diamond.
had agreed that tho payment by the Govern
ment should be spread over n number OF

OF the depression and the number Of men
out OF work they could not sanction the OK
penditure Of more than 3 per cent. Of the
