A Blow at Labor

The proposed senate investigation Of the Kirkpat-

Workers should be aided materially by the judges

defense opinion before the court of appeals
Can the Sherman antitrust law be used to deny
unions their constitutional right to organize picket
the ISSUE
If the kirkpatrick injunction stands, the unions
of the country may just well order crepe. for the
right of collective bargaining is dead.
The judges frank opinion states
at will be noted that the orders are broad enough
to restrain the defendants from combining to bring
about strikes by peaceful persuasion only and they
so were intended to be-. There was no threat OF vio-
ence in Philadelphia and the judge doesn't pretend
that there was.
The Amalgamated was "apprehensve" that If non
union conditions continued in Philadelphia, New York
would "be compelled to go back to non-union basis
with reduced wages to its employees" the judge
explains.
In changing these conditions the Amalgated was
helping to destroy the advantage which non-union
manufacturers had over the union manufacturers in
interstate trade, and thereby violating both the
common law and the thrust provisions of the
Sherman act, according to Judge kirkpatrick.
The Amalgamated is to be congratulated for chal-
longing the ruling in the higher courts. though it
already partly had succeeded in unionzing the Pha-
delphia market.
Judge Kirkpatricks statement is added proof, in
Judgment of Senator La Follette's charge that
this injunction pervers the Sherman act for purpose
never intended by congress.
