National Metal Trades Council Declares No Labor Discrimination
Henry F Devin, secretary of the National Metal Trades Association, reports that the council denounces the machinists strike as a breach of a year-old agreement and asserts employers may designate competent workers and set conditions. The declaration opposes strikes and arbitration, allows wage and method freedom, and rejects arbitration except as a last resort. District No. 16 machinists vow to fight to a finish and stand out all summer if needed.
