POINTS ABOUT A LEASE.
Judge Cole States Some Interesting
Bits of Law.

Judge Cole States Some Interesting
Bits of Law.
Judge Cole this morning, in the suit OF
Dorsey Z. W. Towson against Enmons s.
Smith OF the Boston Variety Store for $500,
stated an interesting bit of law under re-
cent decisions of the United States Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Towson has had a lease OF the west
ern building in the row occupied by Mr..
Smith on Market Space at 81 400 year
for nearly nine years. Last February Mr.
Smith paid Mr.. TowsDn $1,000 for the
unexpired term OF the lease. He has since
occupied the place, and has sed the fixtures
that were there when he took the place.
IL is for payment for these fixtures that
Mr.. Towson brought suit.
Judge Cole stated that under recent rulings
the tendency seemed to be TO extend the
rights OF the lessee to Improvements upon
the ground. Mr.. Smith, lie said, under the
law and the facts shown would have a right
to remove the buildingin question from the
lot and use IL elsewhere, If he chose. He
asked Attorney A. II. Duvail. who was ar
Ruing for Mr.. TowSon. how under such con-
ditions he could claim that Mr.. TowsOn
had right to the fixtures.
Mr.. Duvall replied that courts are com

ter end, whether the matter is settled to-
morrow or not until two years hence.
The fact that the men return to work
does not settle the matter, as the principle
remains the same, and will be fought for
until the point is gained.
MR.. SIMMONS STATEMENT.
District Master Workman Simmons stated
today in regar rd TO the charges made against
him iha t the officials OF the Fl deration were
MATING money out OF the boycott:
There never was grOsser untruth. l
have never received one cent for continuing
the fight nor shall /. Organized labor has
taken up this matter on behalf or the locked
out workman, and is simply contending
for their rights"
The workmen claim ihat { he matter might
have been settled long ago in accordance
with their terms had there been no INTER
ference from the legal advisers of the brew
crs- They are simply waiting now for the
bosses to come TO their terms.
The brewers, on the other hand, it is
said, are losing money every day. They
are providing all the saloons which will
accept 1t free beer aud Ice at a mere nomi-
nal price in order to keep their product on
the market.
The Retailers Associa ton refuse TO give
out any statement in regard to the matter.
The evening times., 1896-02-06

The beer boycott has not been declared
off by any labor organization, notwith-
standing the continued statements of an
evening paper to the contrary. This is
about The gist Of the situation in regard to
the trouble between the boss brewers and
their wOrkmen today.
There appears to be scheme on foot" )"
a prominent labor leader today, ION the
part of the opposition TO prove that some
body has lied.
lit would seem as IL all other attempts
to corner organized labor into throwing
up the boycott and calmly submitting to the
terms prepared by the brewers having
failed they are now seeking to pass the lie
among them. Their purpose, 1t is said, is
to disrupt organized IaDor, which is ue-
tcrmned To continue the boycott, by fight
in their ranks.
DECLARED TO BE FALSE.
'The report which has been extensively
circulated that the Building Trades Coun-
ell lifted the boycott at its meeting ON last
Tuesday night, is declared by those who
were present and in a position to know
to tie an absolute falsehood.
"They simply decided" said member
OF the Carpenters Uuion, THAT the Build
ing Trades Council had no right as
body to take up the boycott ma tier.
Every indiv dual organization represent
ed in the council. with the bare exception
OF the Granite Cutters, numbering only
about thirty men, has indorstd the boycott
and affirm their Intention to stand by 1t.
This talk about the brewers dealing In
the future only with the Building Trcdes'
Council" said another, 'shows great
deal of ignorance on the part OF the learned
attorneys. Every member of the Trades
