RIGHTS OF STRIKERS.
Can Quit Work Themselves, But Can
not Intimidate Others

v L
not Intimidate Others.
JEFFERSON CITY (Mo), Nov. %
When the employees of the Hamilton
Brown Shoe Company of ST. Louis
struck some months ago, the strikers,
led by A. j. SaXey, undertook to picket
the building, and by entreaties, threats
and intimidations, induce other en-
ployes to join them. and visited their
houses at night and renewed the
threats. The company applied to
Judge Valiant of the St Louis Circuit
Court for an injunction restraining the
strikers from in any way interfering
with the employees. This was granted
The strikers claimed that if any Of
tense had been committed, it was a
criminal one, emitting them to a trial
py jury, and that q court of equity
had no jurisdiction over the matter,
and appealed to the Supreme Court.
With the full concurrence of the Su-
preme Court, Judge Brace rendered the
decision to-day. He holds that while a
court OF equity has no jurisdiction over
criminal proceedings,ye an injunction
TO protect property from injury is
within the scope of authority of such a
tribunal. Defining the right of en-
ployer and employees, he says: THE in
junction in this case does not hinder the
defendants from doing anything that
they claim they have a right to DO
They are free men, and have the right
to quit the employ of plaintiffs when
ever they see fit to do so. and no one can
prevent them, and whether their act of
quitting is wise or uuWise, just or un-
just, it is nobody's business but their
own. AND they have q right to use fair
persuasion TO induce others to join them
IN quitting. But when fair persuasion is
exhausted, they have no right to resort
to force or threats or violence. The law
Will protect their freedom and their
rights, but it will not permit them to
affect the freedom and rights of others.
The same law which guarantees the de-
PENDANTS their right to quit the employ
ment OF the plaintiffs at their will and
pleasure also guarantees the other en-
ployes to remain at their viii and pleas
ure. The defendants are their own mas
tiers, but they are not the masters of the
other employees, and not only are they
not their masters, but they are not even
their guardians"

FALSITY OF THE SYSTEM.
street Superinteudents Ought to be
EXDeTts,


Experts.
The trial of superintendent Ashworth
on a charge of neglecting his duty has re-
suited just as every sensible man knew
it would. 1t would be strange. indeed.
if an official whose duty it is 10 oversee
the street work of great city could be
convicted criminally for doing i'm
properly something which should be
done properly by a subordinate. If an
official could be removed and disgraced
on such charge as was preferred by the
Grand jury against Ashworth the COM
plant that decent men will neither vote
nor hold Office would speedily become
universal. The truth is, as the Post has
often said, the trouble with the Street
Department is, not the dishonesty of it's
superintendent nor the general desire
of its employees to lead crooked lives. but
the utter falsity of the system upon
which it is founded. Building streets
and sewers is expert work which should
be intrusted only to men educated for it.
Setting a carpenter to keeping books or
brlcklayer to writing briefs would be no
more absurd than setting teamsters,
hotel-keepers aad merchants to super
visng the work of the Street Depart
ment.-San Francisco Post.

Have a Wife Here.
Theodore Streigel left Sacramento some
years ago and returned TO Germany. his
native land. Recently he decided to we'd

B0STON'S BLAZE.
MASONIC TEMPLE a SCENE OF
DESOLATION.
Loss Estimated at From $15O,OOO to
and Some Narrow Escapes.

> BOSTON, Sept. 1.-The Masonic
temple which last week was resplen-
dent with decorations on the occasion
of the knights Templar conclave. is
today the scene of desolation and
wreck, wrought by fire, which was dis
covered shortly after 1 o'clock this
morning, and which Quilted the upper
stories.
District Chief Regain, while direct
ing the efforts of his men from the
tower, nearly twenty feet above the
roof, was suddenly observed to fly. for
his life from the smoke and flames. He
scrambled down and sought safety
along narrow ledge four inches wide.
After an hour and a half the fire was
under control. The third and fourth
floors and the roof were Quilted, while
on the second floor the fire had
scorched- a number of rooms in the
rear. The. loss is estimated at from
$500 to 100000 but no reliable esti-
mate can be obtained until after the
underwriters have done their work.
All of the regalia of the Scottish rite,
one of the most extensive outfits in
the Masonic order. was destroyed. and
the Gothic hall, Egyptian hall and red
rooms, with their valuable tapestries
and furnishings, were ruined. A num-
Der of valuable paintings were saved. ,
There are twenty-six lodges and
Communicates which meet in the tenn
pie, and all of them will sustain some
loss The Boston commandery has a
blanket insurance of $4,000 on it's re-
galias and uniforms, and it is thought
that the others are covered in d like
manner.
Several accidents occurred during
the fire. District Chief Regain was
carried by the falling roof thirty feet,
sustaining a broken leg and injuries
to his head and severe internal in
juries.
Lieutenant Madden's skull was frac-
tured he being struck by a broken
pipe from his engine. Fireman James
Downey. of ladder No. 3, was struck
on the head with a piece of slate.
