cation for temporary injunction

court at New Haven against locals
of the Metal PolisheIs' union, their
officers and other trade unionists,
who are boycotting and indulging
in other practices Objectionable to
the plaintiff company and its strike
breakers.
The International Silver COM
pany, it is claimed, owns or con-
trolls all the silver factories in this
country, and is in position to
crush all competition in the manu-
facture of articles that only the
wealthy can purchase. Ii is fur
ther charged that their employees
are compelled to laber 10 he urs a
day for wages that range from 81
to $l.50 day less than Is paid un-
lou men and women doing similar
work in other branches of industry.
After repeated failures to equal
ize conditions, a strike started Oct.
a last, at six factories of the COM
pany, all located in this city.
When the company attempted TO
have its work done else where
strikes were started in Derby,
Wallingford. Norwic and Water
bury. At the present time there
are strikes on at ten factories, in.
volving about 5000 employees.
The suits are an indication of the
workers solidity, and the failure
to break their strike by importing
thugs and strikebreakers.
