UPHELD BY JUDGE Apreements With Trade As- ' gociations Held Free of Anti-Trust Law. BY the Associatea Press. ‘NEW YORK, December 2.—Supreme Court Justice Samuel I. Rosenman ruled yesterday that agreements made by labor unions with trade associations are “cloaked with immunity” from the anti-trust and monopoly provisions of the general business law. Union attorneys said the decision probably would have a far-reaching effect on the relations between labor and industry. Justice Rosenman dismissed an in- Junction suit filed by the American Fur Manufacturers’ Association, Inc., and 19 member companies, against the Agsociated Fur Coat and Trimming Manufacturers, Inc., the International Fur Workers Unions of "the United States and Canada, and the Furriers’ Joint Council of New York. * The complainant companies charged: ‘That the agreement between the two unions, which control about 98 per cent of the fur workers in New York City, and the Associated Fur Cdat and Trimming Manufacturers was “against public policy.” That certain benefits, such as the elimination of strikes and lockouts and the setting up of arbitration machinery wete accorded to members of the de- fendant associations, but denied to non-members. That the agreement created & monopoly which “coerced” manufac- turers into canceling their agreements with the plaintiff group and joining the defendant association. That the agreement was, in effect. & conspiracy to monopolize the trade associations in the industry and vio- lated section 340 of the general busi- ness law, known as the Donnelly anti- trust law. Justice Rosenman based his ruling on a section of the general business law which exempts bona fide labor unions from the anti-trust provisions. The intention of the subdivision, he said, was to remove from labor unions all prohibitions which had their basis in the restraint of trade.
