Boyco;ting a Brewery.
New YORK, July 2d.-A boycott has
been placed on Ebrets brewery, in conse-

nouncement of the fact, for the reason that
any such proceeding, under the recent rul-
ing of the Courts, will bring the men en-
gagged in it under the operation of the con-

boycotting can be done quite as effectively as
if walking delegates were perambulating in
