New York July 16. The Interborough Rapid Transit Company asserts a $280000 damages suit against subway strikers is a bluff, says attorney Susan Brandeis daughter of Supreme Court Justice Brandeis. She contrasts with the Danbury Hatters ruling, noting the union here is a company unit with a no strike pact and not a voluntary contract breach. Samual Untermyer calls the unit clear and straightforward. the Danbury decision involved a Boycott to stifle interstate trade and the court upheld damages in 1908.
