nounced the finalization of a closed
shop agreement providing standard
union conditions with the Coney Island
Restaurant here.
The negotiation of the agreement
ended strike in which the restaurant
owner persuaded Judge to issue an
injunction restraining the union from
engaging in peaceful picketing.
The Judge could compel the union to
remove it's pickets, but he could not
compel union members and their fami-
lies to patronize the non-union place.
The loss of business was so pronounc-
ed that finally the restaurant owner
yielded to reason and came to terms
with the union.

Jacksonville Light
Plant 1907 Union
Unions Strike Against Three Firms
Refusing to Grant Union
Conditions

Jacksonville, Fla. (AFLWNS). -
Jacksonville organized labor is sup
porting strikes against three firms
which refuse TO recognize American
Federation of Labor unions and grant
union wages, hours and work condi-
tions.
The Glaciers Union is conducting a
vigorous strike against the Pittsburgh
Plate Glass Company and the French
Mirror Plate Glass Company. Con-
fronted with information to the effect
that the strike breakers employed by
the two nOn-union breakers employed
by the two non-union firms were tell
ing merchants that the strike was set
tied and that they were union men, Of
ficiais Of Glaziers Union asked mer-
chants to demand that each glazier
employed be required to show his
union card.
The Building Trades Council an
nounced that non-union workers were
employed at the Firestone service sta
ton. The Council placed signs on the
job stating that the construction was
not proceeding under conditions pre-
scribed by the building trades unions.
In addition, pickets were detailed to
patrol the approach to the job.
In strong comparison with the sub
versive labor policy of these three
firms is the fact that the contract for
the extension Of the electrical facili-
ties Of Jacksonville's municipality own
ed and operated light plant was award
ed to the Miller Electric Company, Of
Jacksonville, which pays the union
rate at the prevailing wage scale and
operates on 100 per cent union basis.
