AGAINST THE BOYCOTT.
Important Decision to Labor Organixa-
tions by United States Court.

tions by United States Court.
st. Louis, Nov 14-An opinion handed
down in the United States circuit court
of appeals holds that the boycott is not
legal weapon. The decision will be of
interest to labor organizations all over
the country, inasmuch as t upholds the
right of corporations to introduce saw
ing devices INTO their establishments.
The case in question is that of the OK
ley Stave company of Kansas City, Kan,
Us. j. S. Hoskins and IL others. The
defendants are all members of the Coop
ers' union, No. 10, of Kansas and Trades
assembly of the same place. Some of
them were employed in the OXley Stave
company. In January, 1896, the stave
company placed in their plant machine
to hoop barrels. This angered the de-
pendants, who, after requesting the
stave company to withdraw their ma
chimes and having their request refused,
caused a boycott to be entered against
them.
The stave company went to the United
States district court and secured an in
junction against the defendants, re-
stricting them from pushing the boycott.
The defendants appealed to the United
States circuit court of appeals, which
now affirms the decision of the lower
court
Judges Sanborn and Thayer, in doing
so, said that the defendants had no
right to form a conspiracy to deprive
the plaintiffs of it's own rights to manage
its own business. If such a thing was
lawful, then combination may be or
ganized for the purpose of preventing
the use of typesetting machines, presses,
harvesters, thrashers and thousands of
other useful inventions.
Judge Caldwell dissents from his asso-
ciates in lengthy opinion, in which he
scores trusts. He says; 'All capital
seeks to increase it's power by combina-
ton and to that end assumes the form
of corporations and trusts. Many of
these combinations are on a gigantic
scale. They are the employers of the
great mass of the laborers They are
formed solely for pecuniary profit. They
defy all social restraints that would
have tendency to lessen their divi-
dends. What the stockholders want is
more dividends, and the best manager is
the man who will make them the largest.
1.-THE struggle is constant between the
laborers, whose labor produces the divi-
dends, and those who enjoy them. The
manager is tempted to reduce wages to
increase dividends, and the laborers re-
sist the reduction and demand living
wages. Sometimes the struggle reach
es the point of an open rupture. When
1t does, the only weapon of defense the
laborer can appeal to is the strike or the
boycott, or both. These weapons they
have an undoubted right to use, so long
as they use them in peaceable and or
derby manner. This Is the only lawful
Limitation upon their use. That limita-
ton is fundamental and must be OBJ
served. 1t was observed in the case
at the bar to it's fullest extent. If these
weapons are withheld from them. then,
indeed, are they left naked to their
enemies"

Indians, the first of whom was sentenced

self-confessed accessories in the murder,
were taken from the county Jail in EN-

Clinton, Mass, Nov. 1.-THE police,
in their search for evidence against Reed
the alleged bunco steerer have learned
of three more men who claimed to be
victims to the extent of some thousands
of dollars. S. A. Harding of Framing

who induced him to draw $1,000 from the
savings bank and invest it with him.
a man named Gault, a farmer from
Hooksett, n. H., was the second man
who identified Reed. Gault said he lost
large sum; just what amount he re-

titled Reed was Augustus Spellman of
