The crime of which these men were

thirteen were musicians To the latter he
paid S2l u week They had been with

ordered him to dlScargc his orchestra

ers by inhammatory circulars against his

check for that sum. This was clear
case OF cxtOrtion and the arrest and con-
yictiou of the boycotters followed as
stated above.
The result of these trials is likely to put
stop 10 the barbarOus and unamerican
practice of boycotting in New York city.
Similar measures should be adopted
wherever else il has taken root. There
is no doubt about its being criminal con
spiracy and that, too, of the most coward
