I. O. union against the Yale & Towne Manufacturing Co., Stamford lock and hardware firm. Barlow, who had been sitting in the audience, approached Davier and, after declaring “defamatory remarks"” had been made about him by union representatives, charged that the whole procedure was a “racket” and members of the board “nothing but reds.” Barlow's outburst caused David Moscowitz. attorney for the N.
