Ban on Unfair List Targeted in Labor Boycott Case
James W. Van Cleave, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, files in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia seeking an injunction against Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell, and AFL officers and others to stop the use of boycotts and the so called unfair list. The suit aims to halt publication of the AFL organ containing the list and to restrain further anti business action tied to the so called We Dont Patronize listings. The complaint cites a 1906 strike by Metal Polishers Union No 1 in St Louis and a subsequent AFL boycott against Buck Stove Company products, with broader claims of conspiracy to injure business.
