WOMAN JEERS SUIT
IN SUBWAY STRIKE
Company's Claim a Bluff, Says Miss

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 16.-The suit Of
the Interborougp Rapid Transit Co.
against striking subway workers for
$3.50 900 damages Is just BLUM, in
the opinion of Miss Susan Brandeis,
attorney and daughter OF United
States Supreme Court Justice
Brandeis.
Parallels drawn by company at
torneys to the Danbury matters case,
in which employers got damages from
strikers, were not valid, Miss Brandeis
told-600 subway strikers at meeting
last night.
The difference lies In the fact that
the subway strikers are secessionists
from a company union to which they
were forced to belong, she said. and
therefore they have not broken q
voluntary contract. The company
union has no-strike agreement with
the company.
Samuel Untermyer, attorney. de-
scribed the suit as "a silly and trans.
parent gesture" from legal view
point.
In the Danbury case II was charged
that the union had instituted a boycott
to destroy the interstate trade Of a
manufacturer. The United States
Supreme Court, in 1908, upheld triple
damages on several hundred workers,
