THE ANN AReoR STRIKE.
An Impop'.n' D.e,.lon by tn. FEDERAL

An Important Deciaion BY the Esdsral
Courts
Judges Kicks aud Taft in tho United States
Court At Toledo, have decided several i'm.
portant questions srising out Of the strike ON
the Ann Arbor road.
The first case was that Of the eight engin-
GERS and flremen Of the Lake Shore road who
quit the company's service rather than haul
boycotted cars. The decision Is In line with
the informal talk given these men on tho
afternoon Of thci. arrest but which was mis-
construed widely Into declaration that y
man eau be compelled to work, though he
desires to Quit his employers service. The
decision briefly is that man may quit work
when he shall choose, II he quits in good
faith. but an engineer out on run must
complete the run before quitting his work.
Under this decision seven of the men were
discharged, but james Lennon. u switchman,
was found 10 be In contempt, as he refused to
handle Ann Arbor cars after hearing the
order Of the court TO do so.
The court also issued u perpetual Injunction
against Chief Arthur, forbidding him TO de-
clare q boycott on Ann Arbor cars.
The cases will probably be carried to the
Supreme Court,
