Nearly one hundred witnesses were called to testify in the case of Louis 

 Bossert & Son against the Carpenters' Union in which the plaintiffs seek 

 to have the temporary injunction issued more than a year ago made 

 permanent. The plaintiffs emphasized the point that the combination of 

 Carpenters' Union and other building trades unions in New York to pre- 

 vent the use .--f materials of non-union manufacture violated the statute 

 of the stale against monopolies. It was established that the Carpenters' 

 Union not only prevented their members from working upon non-union 

 woodwork but they combined with other organized trades connected with 

 building in New York City whereby it was agreed that where non-union 

 carpenters were employed to install materials which the union carpenters 

 were forbidden to install all other trades would quit work. In this way 

 the Carpenters' Union, besides refusing to handle non-union material, pre- 

 vented the employment of carpenters who could handle open shop mate- 

 rial. John Bossert testified that the amount of business his firm did In 

 Manhattan had dwindled from $525,000 in 1905 to $35,000 in 1011. The 

 Bossert case is one of the foremost labor cases in the state of New York, 

 if not in the entire country, and is engaging the attention of manufac- 

 turers of woodwork all over the country.
