KENOSHA STRIKE
TRIAL is FARCE
Judge Silences Talk Of
Allen-A Conditions

KFNOSHA, Wis, April 19.-After
having magnanimously granted the
26 militant strikers and leaders of
the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers, trial
by jury for violating an anti-picket-
ing injunction, Federal Judge Geiger
showed up the farcical nature of his
CONCESSION" by refusing to permit
the union attorneys to argue against
a contempt of court verdict by dis
cussing the issues causing the strike.
Geiger, who had granted the vici-
GUS anti-strike injunction to the
Allen-A Company, to halt the very
effective picketing carried on by the
hosiery knitters, ruled that the speed
up system and open shop policies of
the anti-labor company should not
be discussed, thus preventing the
union attorneys from having an OPP
portunity of proving their case.
The hearing has been going on since
Tuesday and will not be completed for
several more days, it is believed.
Criticize Leadership.
While the union membership en-
dorses the fight being carried on in
the courts against the injunction, they
are nevertheless very critical of the
union leadership for not trying to call
out on strike the unorganized work
ers in the Allen-A plant, only the
knitters being on strike now.
They point to the fact that the en-
ployers turnout the country are con-
solidating their ranks thru great
mergers concluded in the silk under
wear and silk hosiery industry. This
refers to a $15,000,000 combine now
being executed by the hosiery manu-
facturers and banks in Philadelphia.
The large consultations of the en-
ployers should be met by the union
with the Inauguration of campaign
to organize all the workers in the
industry, skilled as well as unskilled,
the nj OF membership declares.
otherwise, this powerful machine Of
che employers will succeed in SMASH
ing the organization with their in
eyitable concerted drive against u.s.
