Picket Injunction
Denied Merchants
Oregon Gty Court Holds
Labor Dispute Exists
so Lines Lawful
i OREGON CITT-iifrVC I r c u 1 1
Judge Carl Hendricks, of Fossil,
sitting in a hearing of the re
quest of four merchants for an
injunction to prevent picketing,
ruled today that' when an em
ployer is being picketed by a la
bor union In an attempt to con
vert his employes to a union
shop, a labor dispute exists.
On this ruling the Judge declin
ed to issue the injunction, which
the merchants sought against a
local of the Retail Clerk's union.
The dispute here, dating back
several months, attracted atten
tion when the merchants put on
bargain sales in an effort to draw
trade and the union hired buses
to take customers to Portland
in hope of preventing them from
sboppign here.
The. dispute broke 'out last
March, 20 and since then about
20 stores have been picketed.
Pickets have remained before the
stores throughout the extended
court Proceedings, the union's
main objective being a closed
shop, which the merchants and
groups of their employers have
opposed.
