Protests Grow Over Interwoven Stocking Company Picketing
Martinsburg West Virginia April 7 protests against an injunction restraining the American Federation of Hosiery Workers from picketing the Interwoven Stocking Company were filed with federal officials. Union leader Julian Caldwell said he urged the U.S. attorney general to investigate the restraining order issued by Circuit Judge Decatur H. Rodgers. Caldwell claimed twelve hundred striking workers demanded an immediate inquiry into what he called an outrageous injunction infringing free speech and assembly. Telegrams were sent to President Roosevelt Governor Neely and Chief Justice Huertas. The order barred mass picketing and sought to keep workers from entering the company property.
