Rights OF strikers Defiaed.

|
Some months ago the Ilamilton-
to the st. Louis circuit court for an in
junction restraining strikes from in
any way interfering with working em-
ployes.
The Injunction was granted. The strikers
claimed that II any offense had been commit
ted, it was criminal one, entitling them to q
trial by jury and that court of equity had no
jurisdiction over the matter, and appealed to
the supreme court
With the fun concurrence OF the supreme
court, Judge Brace rendered the decision,
holding that while court of equity has no
Jurisdiction over criminal proceedings, yet an
Injunction to protect property from injury Is
within the scope OF authority OF such tribunal.
Defining the rights OF employees, he says:
1.-The Injunction 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 whenever they see ft to do SO, and no
one can prevent thenls and whether their act Of
quitting is wise or unwise just or unjust, it is
nobodys business but their own. And they
have 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 violence.
| The law will protect their freedom and their
rights but it will not permit them to affect tho
| freedom and rights OF others The same law
which guarantees the defendants their right TO
quit the employment of the plaintiffs st their
will and pleasure also guarantees the other
| employees to remain at their will and pleasure.
The defendants are their own masters 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
