held Thursday, June 4, at the Dud-

Mr. Sharkey had an intense in-

violated the Fair Labor Standards
Act by failing to pay the em-
ployee overtime compensation at
the rate of at least time and one-

The defendant is engaged in the
business of trimming, mowing, and
spraying trees and vegetation,
thereby keeping clear the rights-

and public utility corporations en-
gaged in the production of goods
for interstate commerce.
The suit was filed after the em-

The union's strike was called
when the firm suddenly locked out
the workers and moved away. The
ILGWU regarded the runaway
tactics as an attack on funda-
mental principles of collective bar-
gaining and the stable employer-
employee relations which have so
long characterized the industry.
Since the outset of the campaign
more than 15,000,000 shopping
bags and leaflets featuring the
“Don’t Buy" slogan have been dis-
tributed to, shoppers entering
stores in all parts of the contrty.
The ILGWU is now expanding its
campaign by picketing retail es-
tablishments witht signs urging
customers not to buy Judy Bond
blouses.
Thus far this massive campaign
has yielded excellent results. Re-
tailers have ceased carrying the
struck merchandise and consum-
er response has been strong.

include: State Attorney General
