President Simon Burns, of the Window Glass Worker’s association, will not be compelled to call for a national convention this year. He has won the legal fight made against him by George Ambos, Phillip Yochum and other preceptors to compel him to sanction the call for a general convention of L. A. 300, which they have issued, for next Monday.
The case came up Tuesday before Judge R. S. Frazer, in Common Pleas court No. 2. The court announced that it would have to be shown that Burns had violated some official duty. Judge Frazer further said he thought the members of the association had the power to call a convention without the consent of the president, and if he did not care to preside the members could elect some one to take his place.
The injunction asked for was refused because no law was shown to have been violated. President Burns said last evening that he thought the effort to hold a convention would proceed no further.
