Eight Hour Day Victory In Printing Case In Cincinnati
In Cincinnati a federal appeals court affirmed a ruling that reestablishes an eight hour workday for printing pressmen. The Typothetae of America failed to prove a nine hour contract existed with the International Printing Pressmen union. The court also left in place Judge Thompson’s injunction rulings against restraining union officers from advising contract breaches. A related Manila item notes a looming general strike after the conviction of Dominador Gomez for threatening a strike.
