In Petersburg Virginia Judge Richard T Wilson denied the United Workers Local 2 request to dissolve or modify a permanent injunction against luggage strikers at the American Hardware Company plant. The injunction limits picketing to three at the entrance and bans near plant gatherings. The hearing drew hundreds of strikers who voted to continue the strike until the company agrees to collective bargaining and fair conditions.
