Labor Trouble at Waterloo Engine Works Sparks Court Action
Differences between Waterloo Gasoline Engine Works employees and management led to a court petition for a temporary injunction against the Iron Moulders union and others. The suit, filed by the company on April 8 1912, seeks to bar picketing and worker interference with operations, asserting an open shop policy and need for a bonded restraint of $5 000. The plaintiff alleges a conspiracy by the men who had left the plant and cites escalating labor tensions.
