CARPENTERS GO TO COURT
Would Have Contractors Use
Only Union Made Wood Trim.

The long fight Of" tho union carpenters
10 force the contra ctorS TO use only union
made wood trim viii be taken TO the courts
TO-DAY when test case will be made on
behalf Of one wood trim manufacturing
firm The firm is the Albro !. Newton
COMPANY of Brooklyn. which has secured
from Supreme Court Justice Crane pre-
liminary injunction restraining the officers
and members Of the Joint District Council
Of New York and Vicinity Of the United
Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Joiners of
America and the Amalgamated Carpenters
and Joiners Of America from interfering
by strikes or otherwise with the use Of the
product of the firm OF with its business.
Accompanying the application for the in
junction are affidavits from building con-
tractors who employed union carpenters
70 the effect that they made contracts with
the plaintiff firm for material and that on
the orders of agents of the council the
carpenters refused TO handle #. An affi-
davit by AIbro J Newton. head Of the
plaintiff firm, is also appended in which
he says that a large amount of valuable
material was thrown on the hands of the
firm which had been ordered by building
contractors whose carpenters refused 10
handle IL
For many years the union carpenters
have been trying without success 70 get
the Master Carpenters Association 10
pledge its members 10 refuse to handle
any but union made wood trim. The asso-
ciation refused each time TO give such
pledge, on the ground that the union firms
could not supply all the trim needed and
on the additional ground that If such
pledge were given the association en-
pioyers would be placed in unfair compeu-
tion with independent employers who used
non-union trim made in towns where wages
,,-nre r,n,lcl, lnrrnr than in New York.
