Garment Employers
Enjoined in New York
Lady Garment Workers Union Turns
Tables on Boss Association
And Wins

NEW YORK Turning the tables
and acting just the reverse the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union of New York City went into
Court and obtained an injunction to
stop the employers from violating
their agreements with the Union. The
employers had broken their contract
and proceeded to ignore their signed
obligation and would have installed
the open shop American plan system
which is slavery, but the Union Off
Gals outgeneraled the employers and
proceeded to give them a dose OF
court Injunction.
Justice Wagner heard the case. per-
uniting both sides to go into a com
plete detail of their defense in which
the employers were made to admit that
they had disregarded their obligation
land considered the Union nothing
more than a football.
Quoting part of the decision, it is
interesting to note some of the things
said by the judge. "While this appli-
cation is novel" said he, ut is novel
only in the respect, that for the first
time an employees organization is
seeking to restrain their employers
organization from violating a con-
tractual obligation. The fact that the
employers have entered equity's thresh
hold by hitherto untraveled path
does not lessen their right to the laws
decree.

| advanced civilization has compelled
Legislative action to correct and i'm.
