BANKRUPTCY FATE OF LABOR'S IDEAL Crescent Iron Works, Inc., Machinists’ Model, Bid In at Public Auction. By the Associated Pre: NORFOLK, V anuary 29.—The Cresceat Iron Works, Inc, the in- strument which the International / sociation of Machinis i working model for the * was thrown into involuntary bankruptey here today by three creditors. Petitioners in the bankruptcy pro- ceedings allege the Crescent Iron Works, Inc, committed an act of bankruptcy on January in_per- |- mitting the Virginia National Banw to obtain judgment through legal proceedings. It was under this judg- ment that the property was so petitioners in _the ceedings _are 1 $£740; Colonna poration. $200, and Craig Brothers, $100. Other attachments have been taken out and material advertised for sale next week. Its property, machinery and fix- tures were bid in at public auction by international officers, through their bank, the Mount Vernon_ Sav- ings Bank of Washington, for $7,800 to satisfy a deed of trust for $40,000. Would Dietate Policy. The_“Norfolk idea.” as ontlined by E. C. Davidson, the international sec- retary, is for labor to quictly get hold “of outstanding obligations of {business enterprises and thus get into position to dictate its policies. The opportunity to make the experi- ment came last July, during a gen- eral strike here, when the Iron Mas- ters' Association declared for the open_ shop. A strike occurred at the same time in the Crescent Machine Works, and labor proceeded along strategic lines to work out its experiment. The outstanding obligations of the Crescent Machine Works were bought up with capital furnished by the Machinists' International. coming through_the Mount Vernon Savings Bank, Washington, which is con- trolled by the machinists. Control of the company having thus been gain- ed, support was furnished through extension of credit. and active co- operation of affiliated branches of or- ganized labor. In explaining the plan at the time, Mr. Davison said: “In- stead of a long struggle in which our members each drew $8 per week in strike benefits, we succeeded in keep- ing them all employed at top wages. The industry in Norfolk was saved an expensive period of inactivity, and the city was saved the loss in trade which would have resulted.” Showdown Followed. According to Mr. Davison, a “show- down” with the management of the Crescent Works followed immedi- ately when it became known that the unions had control, and the plant was reopened as a strictly union plant Soon, however, according to Mr. Davison, Norfolk bankers refused to advance credit for current trans- actions, and jobbers, he said, refused to sell them equipment. The ma- chinists’ union immediately deposited with a Norfolk bank sufficient cash to cover immediate needs and met the remaining problem by arranging with out-of-town firms for the articles needed to comiplete the work at hand. One Norfolk bank, however. which had advanced money to the Crescent works under the new regime, had reached a point where it could not advance further funds. For the pay- ment of a stipulated sum, all col- lateral of the Crescent works held oy this bank was turned back to_ the owners, the bank contlnuing a loan already on its books unprotected by security. The bank was willing to take this loss, it is sahl, in order to collect approximately 50 per cent of the amount. _ Deed of Trust Offered. August 28 a deed of trust was given on the Crescent works property, which property was offered for sale today, at public auction, by the fol- lowing named trustees: William H. Johnston, president International As- Sociation of Machinists; E. C. Davison, international secretary and treasurer. and Harry J. Carr, cashier of the Mount Vernon Savings Bank. ‘W. J. Fielder, president of the Crescent Machine Works, declares that his company has always been friendly to the labor unions, and that organized labor did not force them into_the arrangement which Decame o known as the ‘Norfolk {dea.” said that the union merely came to the assistance of the company in the matter of finances, and has never as- sumed_control of the management of the affairs of the concern. ‘While other shops were closed to union men, during the strike period since last July, the Crescent shops COAL—$12.50 ALL LUMP BITUMINOUS ENGLISH QUALITY CHANNEL COAL $20.00 LARGE FURNACE ANTHRACITE $15.00 Phone Clev. 349 CHAS.
