International Machinists Seek Funds For Strikers
The International Association convention decided to extend financial aid to non-union strikers, with no fixed cap on relief and over $40,000 disbursed since May 20. A special strike fund of more than $150,000 remains intact, and Britain may be asked for aid if the fight lasts longer. The group also discussed changing headquarters and noted California firms cutting hours and raising pay. Milwaukee is favored for the next meeting.

Judges rule blacklisting of girls by stockyards firms legal
Chicago judge Waterman affirmed that several girls who struck last February were legally blacklisted by stockyards firms. The decision cites extensive authorities and notes unions habitually practice blacklisting while allowing non union workers to quit or be excluded. The case will be appealed and parallels an earlier ruling by Judge Baker from May 16. In Hamilton Ohio, about 50 machinists returned to work under a threatened ultimatum, as strikers photographed entering shops but no disorder occurred.
