of $3,000,000, but sued under the
statutory three-fold damage provi-
sion.
The bill of the Baush Company
stated that although Mellon resigned
as a director of the defendant COM

pate in its policies and management

De CISION HITS AT
Strike AGAINST
Open SHOP FIRM
May Force Union to
Pay Damages

A sweeping injunction forbidding
the Architectural Iron, Bronze and
Structural Workers Union from pick
citing the open-shop German Iron
Works, SO David St., Long Island,
was granted yesterday by Justice
Burt J. HUMPHREYS of the Kings
County Supreme Court.
Justice HUMPHREYS decision prac-
tically outlaws the strike which the
union has been conducting since Jan.
27 against the German Iron Works.
The strike was called when the COM
pany, which previously had been
union, decided to turn open shop.
Previous to becoming open-shop, the
Garman company laid off about half
of it's 80 workers. The rest went on
strike, at the call of the union, and
have since been waging militant
for union conditions.
In addition to granting the injunc-
ton, a new blow at the union is seen
in Justice HUMPHREYS decision that a
referee be appointed to consider the
damages involved in the strike. The
union is planning to appeal the in
junction.

lawyer $45, the doctors SIS, and the

present state he is on the capitalist
scrap heap for the rest of his life,
and the coal companies are freed
