Alleged Combination and

OF LYNN, MASS.
Manufacturers File Bills
of Equity in Mass,
Supreme Court

Lynn, Mass, Sept. 9.-Twenty one
shoe manufacturers to-day filed bills
in equity in the supreme court alleg-
ing that officers and members OF the
Women Stitchers' union and the Unit
ed Shoe Workers have combined and
conspired to take control of the hiring
and retention of help in the stitching
department. The bills seek to restrain
the defendants from continuing certain
union working regulations which It Is
alleged have resulted in the control of
employment and factory production by
the unions.
The particular rule against which
the manufacturers bill is aimed le-
mires that union stitchers must have
a permit signed by D. A. Maynard,
business agent of the union, before
they can be employed. The manufac-
turers assert that this rule is in vio-
lation of the peace agreement signed
with the unions Oct. 2, 1920, that it
has prevented them from obtaining
all the stitchers they require and has
thus reduced production.
