BREWERS TROUBLES,

New York, March 1.-The national
union OF brewery employees has issued a
circular to IFS local unions throughout the
country stating that the United States
brewers association intends to lock out
all the union men in this city and vicinity
on April II.
The circular says that the association
comprises all the large brewery firms in
the country. The brewers local through
out the country, ii continues. have not
given the national brewers any good
cause that might justify a new attack on
the union
They have done justice TO all EMPLOYERS
who had contracts with the national
union and they believe that their rela-
tons with the employers should be based
upon mutual esteem and respect and the
national union will compel from these
New York Brewers. who a number of
years ago discharged their union hands
such respect.
The circular goes on to say:
All brewers working with union men
and consequently getting along harmoni-
ously with organized labor. have done
good business this year despite dull times.
Mhy then should the boss brewers of
New York and the vicinity not also be
compelled TO recognize the right of their
employees TO organize for their own hem
eht and protection? To fight for and
secure such recognition is our lust right
and we shall make good use of this RIGHT
until, also concerning New York and vi.
c.nlty; we can announce the victory is
ours -

why the action of the Metropolitan court

First-The proceedings were null and

Second-It was an appellate court and
should not accept testimony.
Third-The several principal findings
were based on false assumptions of facts

A Code Absurditv Demonstrated.
To the Editor Of the Optic.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, October 23rd,
lS97.--Sections Of the New Mexico
code GOOD save the marki) from "a
to ~ inclusive, at pages 100 and 1866
Of the acts Of 1897, deliberately provide
for service OF process In civil suits upon
persons defendant, who reside out Of
the Territory. These provisions relate
to purely personal actions, among
others, provide for service by p~ublica-
ton on non resident defendants, and
impose the same penalties for nom
appearance, as though the defendant
had been personally served, And n
of the sections impudently provides
that he may be personally served out
side OF the Territory. with like effect.
And all this, regardless as to whether
any property Of defendant has been
seized under order OF the court having
jurisdiction.
The provisions Of these sections are
absolutely void, even within the Terri
tory. Oregon tried this game, at one
time, in much more guarded form,
and ives very e~ffectually a upon, IN
the famous case of Pennoyer vs. Neff,
8 Otto, TIA 1928. In that case, the
supreme court u the United States
emphatically ruled that: IA personal
judgment rendered in a state court, in
an action upon a money demand against
"a nonresident Of the state, without
personal service Of process upon him
within the state, or his appearance in
the action upon service by publication,
is without any validity; and no title to
properly passes by d sale under an
execution issued upon such a judg.
ment." But, the United States
supreme court went farther, and said
process from the tribunals Of one
state cannot u into another state,
and summon parties there domiciled
to leave its territory and respond to
proceedings against them; and the
publication of process or notice within
the state in which the tribunal sits,
cannot create any greater obligation
upon the nonresident to appear.
Process sent to him out Of the state,
and process published within it, are
equally unayailing in proceedings to
establish his personal liability"
The writer was bringing a suit
against a nonresident, and, in ex-
aiming the code, CHANGED upon these
sections. Instead Of ayailjpp mvsef
Of this opportunity, which the law lP)
affords me, | think best to submit the
whole matter to the public, through
the medium of The OPTIC, and to
await the chance OF catching the
defendant in this Territory, or OF
finding some of his property within
the jurisdiction of the court.
This is but one OF the many absurd,
ties Of the code. Many others show
its weakness and shortcomings as a
code. KICK-A-Row.
