Spring Fever

Ominously black storm clouds
which gathered at about II o'clock
this morning were for all the world
like those that form prior to late
summer thunder shower, with all
their f1uffiness, and fringed with a
sort Of bright red background. In
spite Of all the menace, however, 1t
neither rained nor showed, although
one individual who has witnessed
several freakish instances of
weather phenomena this winter was
heard to remark, II wouldn't be sur
prised If we had thunder snow
storm" Wouldn't that be some
thing?
Add to reports that robins have
been seen chirping on several lawns;
several forsythia plants have been
seen In bloom, and their period for
bloom will not arrive until late
March. And the grass is getting
greener all the time. If I owned a
hotel I'd advertise "Come to Con-

COURT ORDERS
RETURN
Of Companies Fleeing To
Escape Union Contract

New York City (ILNS)-Supreme
Court Justice Philip j. McCook has
ordered two affiliated dress concerns
to move their machinery back to New
York, take back the union workers
they fired, and pay damages which
these workers suffered by loss of
wages. And, sweeping as was the
decision in itself, it became more SO
because Justice McCook laid down the
rule that contracts like the one be-
tween the union and the dress con-
Germs must be enforced to fill up the
gap left by the passing of NRA.
The contract was made in February,
1895, between the Popular Priced
Dress Manufacturers Group, Inc. on
the one side, and the international La
dies Garment Workers Union and the
Joint Board of the Dress and Waist
makers of New York The two affil-
| lated firms were members of the en-
ployers' union, and were bound by the
contract. One part of the contract
pledged the employers not to move
their shops to any place which can be
lreached only by paying more than
cent fare.
"Strong Measures" Needed
"The logic Of the situation calls for
application of strong measures" JUS
/ tice McCook said. with the end of
| NRA appeared new need for such
contracts as the one in suit.
without remedy as wide as that
need, unscrupulous employers of la
Dor will be tempted to play one COM
munity off against another, unlawfully
depriving New York city of her bust
ness and her inhabitants of their live
| llihood"
Justice McCook attributed the "un-
fortunate result" to a "head-on col
lision between a union conscious of
power and an employer with an un-
enviable business record, an aggres-
sive personality and determination
to make a success this time at all
costs"
Firms Sought Cheap Labor
1T is clear that the intention was
at one stroke to get rid of the obli-
cations of the contract and to obtain
cheaper non-union labor in more in
dulgent community"
David Dubinsky, president of the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, and julius Hochman, head
of the joint board, were jubilant at the
decision.
"The decision makes clear" said
Hochman, "that no employer may
evade his responsibilities by taking
the jobs out from under his workers
by seeking sub-standard conditions in
rural areas hitherto untouched by
Industry"
