Catholic Leaders Endorse Boycott Against J P Stevens Co
Roman Catholic religious order leaders vow a boycott of J P Stevens Co until the textile firm ends fear and intimidation linked to union drives.

Bishops in the Southeast seek mediation in the Stevens unionization clash, one of labor history's most protracted battles, with the boycott drawing broad religious support.
