4 decision declared to be one of the
most sweeping and drastic ever issuec
kesinst labor organization in the
State Of New York in connection
with an industrial dispute was handed
down in the Supreme Court yesterday
|hy Justice Aionzo Hinkley against some
10000 of the striking members Of the
| International Ladies' Garment Work
srs' Union.
BE signed a temporary injunction
against the union members, on behalf
Of the American Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Association. which re-
strains them even from holding meet
lngs agitating their STRIKE" insofar
IS it affects the association, and from
contributing benefits to strikers"
This action was taken late in the
Jay, and came as bombshell to the
strikers. The proceedings are entirely
separate, so far as the legal angle is
concerned, from the injunction pro-
eeedings Of the union against the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers
Protective Association, in which the
lstter is accused of breaking its con-
..act with the union.
Owners Previously Restrained
However. il was recalled that one
oi the clauses in the injunction OBJ
taired by the union against the pro
ectiye association. which is now being
srgued for permanency, was that mem
hers Of TIE latter must not hold meet
ms for the purpose OF conspiring
against the union Thus the employ
eIs now claim to have matched the
union en- its own ground in the mat
Ter Of prohibiting meetings.
Originally, some 10000 members Of
TIE union went or strike against the
members Of both ass socations A num-
ber Of settlements have been effected
with individual manufacturers on the
union terms, however. with the result
that only about 10000 union members
ttnaln on strike OF these some 20 1000
are former employees Of the American
usaelatlon. it is asserted by counsel
'sf the latter.
While the Injunction IS directed prin~
terms only the American association
snops IN IT'S scope. II was pointed out
thst the clauses Of the document are
directed against the entire union as
an organization. in addition to relating
more specifically to the American asso-
eatlon's former employees
