ANN ARBOR CASES.
IMPORTANT DECISIONS REM
DERED AT TOLEDO.

Engineer Lennon Found Guilty Of
Contempt OF Coart for RefuSina to
Handle Ann Arbor Cars - The
brotherhood of Engineers Held to
BE Conspiracy.
TOLEDO, o., April a-Judge Kicks,
in the United States circuit court,
rendered his decision in the case eff the
Lake Shore engineers, who, obeying the
laws OF the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers, refused to handle Ann Arbor
freight, as there was strike cr that
road. The court held that Engineer
James Lennon, inasmlch as he has been
twice ordered to move the cars by the
officials of the coInpony, and did not do
so until ordered to do so by the Brother
hood officers, after the boycott was
raised, was guilty of contempt of court.
The seven other men were discharged.
Must Complete His Run.
The decision is N line with the in
formal talk ne gave these men on the
afternoon of their arrest, but which
was miscoustru8d widely into a
declaration that a man can be
compelled to work though he de-
sires to quit his employers service.
The decision, briefly, is that a man
may quit work when he shall choose, if
ne quits in good faith, but an engineer
out on run must complete his run be-
fore quitting.
Judge Ricks read Judge Taffs deci-
sion in the Ann Arbor injunction case,
III which Chief Arthur of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, is made
a party. He decided that the whole
Brotherhood was conspiracy against
the laws of the country and that mas
much as Arthur gave the orders that
precipitated the boycott, an order for
temporary injunction against Arthur as
prayed for was allowed.
