Reasons of Judge Gary Defended in Labor Strike Rhetoric
A Detroit or Pittsburgh style dispatch reports Judge Gary facing criticism over his refusal to meet United States Steel workers' committee. The piece frames the judge's two reasons as fatal to labor talks: lack of explicit authorization from the workers and fear of recognizing a closed shop. It notes union reps threaten a strike December 22 if negotiations fail and calls the dispute a pivotal test of collective bargaining authority and the open shop concept.
