that one picket. at each factory gate

Doctrine Of Union Liability Rec

Cincinnati, Nov. 16.-Common
Pleas Judge Roettinger has fined
the Boot and Shoe Workers council
S1o6~and costs because a picket be-
came involved in a controversy with
a strikebreaker and struck the latter.
The court declares htat It recog-
nizes the doctrine of union liability
that a labor union IS an entity,
and as such is responsible for the
actions of it's officers, agents, serv-
ants and employees"
The court, therefore, finds the
shoe workers council guilty: Of vio-
lating the orders of the court, and
guilty of contempt.
The courts ridiculous policy can
be appreciated when it is recalled
that il an employe of a business firm
was instructed to do lawful thing,
and while doing so violated the law,
for this act the employs would es-
cape punishment and the employer
would be penalized.'
This is the position taken by Judge
Roettinger, who is receiving the

forces that believe in class legisla-
tion and a class judiciary when
