STOPS BOYCOTT BY UNIONS
Supreme Court Decision Also
Upholds open Shop"

Justice Blackmar, of the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn, in a decision yesterday declared
so-called secondary boycotts" Illegal. The
decision made permanent the injunction Sc
cured by the Albro j. Newton Company to
prevent the Brotherhood OF Carpenters and
Joiners and the Amalgamated Society OF
Carpenters and Joiners from interfering
with its business
The company maintained an open shop"
and the decision sustained 1t in its right TO
maintain such a shop. The company en-
ployed 175 men and was said to do a bus-
ness of 10000 year When the unions
tried to get the employees OF the shop to
join them the men refused, and trouble
began.
The justice found that the labor organiza-
tions involved sent out circulars to the
customers of the company informing them
that the union men would refuse TO handle
materials unless made under strict union
conditions" Circulars were also sent out
giving the names Of concerns which worked
with the unions and the plaintiffs name
was omitted from the list After these
steps had been taken the unions called out
the men who were working under firms
that used the goods Of the company
While the court held that peaceful
strikes were legal in themselves. the ac-
tions Of the defendants amounted TO con-
spiracy 10 injure the PLAINTIFFS business.
Admitting the value OF the unions. the Jus
tice declared that in their struggles with
employers they must respect property
rights. The order stops the circulars and
the strikes among the employees ot the
plaintiffs customers.

their grievances.

and Monday ana draw up list OF their
grievances He said there would be no
trouble. and declined TO give the name Of

ter. When the list Of grievances is ready
