Kohler Boycott Tactics Questioned by Kohler Attorney

Lucius P Chase Kohler counsel told Senate Rackets Committee the boycott failed despite some orders being lost. Kohler continued operating amid a nearly four year strike. He argued primary boycotts become de facto secondary ones and cited a 1954 Wisconsin CIC resolution urging workers to refrain from Kohler products as an illegal tactic. Turn to KOHLER on Page 2.
