FRESHMEN APPLY
FOR INJUNCTION
AGAINST BERRY
To Restrain Henchmen
From Lifting Label

Printing Pressmens' Union Local
No. has filed petition for an in
Junction to restrain the Berry hench-
men from molestng the members of
the expelled local in shops having the
Allied Printing Trades Council label.
The Berry servants have caused a
letter to be sent from the Allied
Printing Trades Council to the en-
ployers telling them that the newly
organized local which is scabbing on
the expelled local is the recognized
union and that in order to keep the
label, only members of that local may
be employed.
International Vice-President Marks
refused to discuss the question Of the
Injunction with DAILY WORKER
reporter and stated that he had never
demanded that the label be taken
from the shops where members Of
the expelled local are employed.
while we are in favor of the
fight against Berry in the Pressmen's
Union Local No. 3 Of Chicago and in
the International Printing Pressmen's
and Assistants Union, we are not in
favor of the use of injunctions issued
by capitalist courts" declared one
the Printing Trades Progressive Com
mittee national committeeman in an
interview with a representative Of
the DAILY WORKER, ito carry on
the fight against this reactionary
outfit. In behalf of our committee,
can say that the idea Of combating
Berry with injunctions is contrary to
the principles enunciated by the left
wing in the printing traces"
The following letter sent by the
Allied Printing Trades Council to
the employers in the printing industry
of Chicago and signed by William A.
Lewis, Berry henchman in the Web
Pressmen's Union, is the evidence
which gives the lie to the statement
of Marks that neither he nor the
International union has attempted to
take the label out of the printing
shops that employ members of the
expelled union:
