A Bible Plant for Sale.

New York, Nov. 13.-The statement is
made in the Commercial-Ad to-
Gay, upon the authority of Secretary
Gilman and Treasurer Foulke of the
American Bible society that the Bible
house. at Fourth avenue and Astor
place in this city has been put upon the
market. The property, which is worth
$4,000, was formerly a source of .reve-
nue. to the society from its rentals, be-
sides affording work rooms and Offices
for the printing and distribution of
Bibles. Latterly, owing to the move
iment of business uptown, the rentals
have, diminished and expenses, which
were formerly betrayed from the. &C
count: have had to be met in other ways.
The. finances of the society are in such
a condition that.it has been deemed nee
essary to make an appeal to the churches
of New York and Brooklyn. A afate-
ment has been made, according to the
Commercial-Advertiser, that expend-
itures for the last two years have ex-
ceeded the income by $165,0O0.

THE BOYCOTI IS NOT LEGAL.
OPINION OF UNITED STATES CIR
CUT COURT HANDED DOWN
AT ST. LOUIS.
Strikes A BLOW At LABOR UNIONS
Judge Caldwell DiSsents, Saying
That the Strike and Boycott Are
the Only Weapons Left Labor
to Battle With Trusts.

st. Louis, Nov. 13.-An opinion handed
down in the United States circuit court
of appeals holds that the boycott is not
a legal weapon. The decision will be of
interest to the labor organizations all
over the country inasmuch as it upholds
the right of corporations to introduce
lavor-aving devices into their estab-
lishments. The case in question is that
of the Oxley Stave company of Kansas
City, Kans., against III. G. Hoskins and
twelve others. The defendants are all
members of Coopers' Union No. 19 of
Kansas City and the trades assembly of
employed by the Oxley Stave company.
In January, 1894, the stave company
placed in their plant machine to hoop
barrels. This angered the defendants,
who, after requesting the staye company
to withdraw their machines and having
their request refused, caused boycott
to be entered against them. The stave
company went to the United States dis
trict court and secured an injunction
against the defendants. restricting them
from pushing the boycott. The de-
circuit court of appeals. which now con-
firms the decision of the lower court.
Judges Sanborn and Thayer. in doing so,
said that the defendants had no right to
form n conspiracy to deprive the plain
tiff of its own right to manage its own
business. If such a thing was lawful
any combination, may be organized for
the purpose of preventing the use of type
setting machines, presses, harvesters
threshers and thousands of other useful
inventions. Judge, Caldwell dissents
from his associates in n lengthy opinion,
in which he scores trusts. t..'
Judge Caldwell says: .-
"All capital asks to increase its powers
by combination, and to that end assumes
the forms of corporations and trusts.
Many of these combinations are on a
gigantic scale. They are formed solely
for pecuniary profit. They defy all So
cial restraints that would have ten
dency to lessen their dividends.
1.-THE struggle is constant between the
laborer, whose labor produces the divi-
dends, and those who enjoy them. Some
times the struggle reaches the point OF
open rupture. When it does the only
weapon of defense the laborcr 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
a peaceable and orderly manner. This
is the only lawful limitation upon their
use. That Limitation is fundamental
and must be observed. 1t was OBJ
served in the case at bar to its fullest eX-
tent. If these weapons are withheld
from them, then indeed are they left
naked to their enemies"

COTTON GROWERS UNION
OF Williamson County Meets-.White-
cnp Threats Denounced.

Georgetown, Tex, Nov. 13.-(SpeciaL)
The Williamson County Cotton
Growers union, organized a few weeks
ago. met at ! p. m. today in the court
house in Georgetown to further con-
slider the question of money rent as a
share of the crop and other interests
that are mutual between the tenant and
landlord.
About 300 farmers were present, every
section of the county being represented.
The president of the union, w. II.
Rulings, presided over the meeting, Joe
Foster acting as secretary.
Among the speakers were ex-Repre-
sentative j. III. Faubion, Il. A. Evans,
w. ID. Lewis. j. e. Cooper and s. M.
Woolsey.
President Rulings, after stating the
objects and purposes of the meeting,
entered vigorous protest against the
whitecap threats of burning houses, SOW
ing johnson grass, poisoning wells, ETC.,
against landlords who may wish to rent
for. money. Every man who spoke,
especially the farmers, denounced such
measures and expressed the belief that
the better class Of Williamson county
renters did not tolerate such outrages.
While it was conceded that each man
had right to say what lie would do
with his own, there was consensus
Of opinion that under present conditions
share of the crop was better for the
tenant and better for the landlord. All
landlords and tenants present agreed to
cooperate in the matter and try to bring
about better conditions.
A committee was appointed to sys-
tematize some plan by which the evils
complained of can be remedied-some
practical plan of cooperation. as1
A large number of names were added
to the membership of the union. Among
the rules of the organization to which
members must subscribe are:
Keep out of debt if possible; refuse
absolutely to give mortgage on your
crop except under dire necessity; make
your debts, ii you must have any, pay
able not till January.
The union will meet again the second
Saturday in December
