Gompers Testimony On Unfair List And Publication
Samuel Gompers testified about Van Cleave’s actions and the Moderationist notice. He argued the publication of the store’s name violated an order not yet operative and that listing the company aimed to aid affiliated bodies rather than harm. He described the phrase we don’t patronize as factual and not harming the employer. He initially refused to answer about accelerating the January issue of the Federationist but relented after pressure and admitted asking the printer to hasten distribution to beat an injunction.
