terestiny SeUuel,

AS result of the closing up of the
Windsor Friday night, a couple of
conspiracy cases are likely TO ensue.
The proprietor T. Hunt Brock,
through his attorney. John +. Scragg,
went into court Saturday, and made
declaration to the effect that the note
for $1,515.20 dated June Is, 1891, upon
which the father George S. Brock is
sued execution, was paid In full
thirteen days after 1t was made and
that it was surreptitiously removed
from his house by his father. 1t is
further alleged. in explanation Of the
endorsement of Milton r. Hirst, the
original holder of the note, that he
and the elder Brock have entered into
a conspiracy to defraud the younger
Brock by compelling him to pay the
note twice.
Court granted a rule to show cause
why the Judgment should not be
opened and the defendant let into a
defense, all proceedings to be stay
ed in the meantime. Mr.. Scragg
states that his client intends to have
warrants issued for the arrest of his
father and Hirst on the charge of
conspiracy to defraud.

BOYCOTT ON BEER.
Labor Organizations to Fight the Chi
cagO Brewers Association.

CHICAGO, March 22-War against
Chicago beer has been declared by the
Chicago Federation of Labor at it's reg
ular weekly meeting. A gigantic boy
cott in which all organized labor will
be urged to unite, was launched against
the product of all breweries that are
members of the Chicago Brewers Asso-
citation, and will take effect April 1st
Union men who wish to drink beer
will be asked to buy the product of
Milwaukee and ST. Louis breweries, and
to refuse to patronize any saloon sup
piled by any of the seventy members
of the brewers combine.
Grievances of Coopers' Union, No. II,
against the local brewers precipitated
the action of the federation.
John Mcpherson, the delegate from
the Coopers' Union, was present at the
meeting, and explained to THE fedora
ton that the coopers had vainly tried
for a year to induce the brewers to use
barrels and kegs made by union work
men, and now asked that decisive
measures be taken at once to force the
manufacturers to comply or to place
their product under the ban of united
labor. The sentiment of the labor
men was for battle.

described as an advance agent hasten

on the part of the people, but an honest
| effort on their part to obtain the pros
perity they sought. He insisted that
| the present evils could not have arisen
from deficient revenue or from the i'm

| He argued that the home producer

the foreigners had taken it, but because
his customers We're too poor to make
| purchases; that relief could not come
to the manufacturer until the price of
wheat, corn. oats, tobacco and other
products increased. He insisted that
the low price of these resulted from the
appreciation of gold, which would con-
tinue so long as silver was demonetiZed.
Cochran CD of Missouri, the last
speaker of the day, while denouncing
