LABOR UNIONS WIN SUIT
Power TO Get Iniunctions Against
Them Limited to Government.

Iniunctions against labor unions
under the Sherman Antitrust law.
the Supreme Court decided yester-
day in dismissing proceedings
against New York carpenters unions
can be secured only by the Govern
ment, and not by private persons
Justices NcKenna, Van De Vanter
and Brandcis dissented
Injunction proceedings brought by
.sopen shop wood work MANI
facturers to restrain New York car
pcnters' unions and others from re-
fusing to work on their products
were dismissed by the court.
A nationwide conspiracy in re-
straint of trade through union rule
against carpenters working on "open
shon" or "unfair' mill WORK and
trim was charged in the nonun:on
manufacturers suit. The unions con-
tended that the embargo was con-
fined TO New York and that the palm
tiAs had not been especially injured
bv it. nor were they the subjects OF
special discrimination. The embargo
the unions declared. differed from
the boycott held illegal in the "Dan-
bury Hatters" case.
Although passed after their sui'
was begun in 1904, the manufacturer
contended that the Clayton act au
thorized issuance of injunctions to
| them. Its prohibition Of anti-unior
iniunctions, they asserted, operates
onlv in suits between employers ane
employees and not between nolVlo"a
and unions.
