Injunction Restraints Strike.

Supreme Court Justice Erlanger Of
New York issued temporary injunc-
ton restraining the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America from
conducting strike against and pick
citing the clothing factory of Joseph
Skolyn 4 Co.
The injunction will be in effect until
the action for S250,00o damages
brought by the firm against the union
has been tried. In his decision Justice
Erlanger stresses that joining n union
is not compulsory, and that the 'in-
timidation" of an organization, not
necessarily implying force, lis silent
weapon, but 1t carries with it a men,
acing attitude"
On the other hand. he says, picket
Ing Is entirely lawful, as we'll as the
right to strike. The present action is
TO determine whether the union has
Illegally conspired against the firm.

Court Declares Strike ILLEGAL

The full bench of the Massachusetts
Supreme court affirmed a decree en-
Joining the International Association
of Machinists from maintaining
strike at the plant of the United Shoe
Machinery corporation at Beverly.
The corporation sought an injunc-
ton on the ground that the strike was
illegal and that its business was be-
Ing interfered with. The union con-
tended that the strike was to attain
collective bargaining, while the cor
poration sail the object was to compel
abandonment of individual contracts
with employees.
The court held that there could be
no collective bargaining In any Just
sense unless 1t was voluntary on both
sides, and found that the union in
tended TO interfere with existing con-
tracts.

LONG HOURS IN STEEL MILLS
New York Newspaper Condemns the
