Protective Society from interfering with Alexander
Coons's business master plumber Coons
fused to join the association, which, by its walking
delegates, called his workmen out on strike.
Besides seeking injunction preventing the
union from interfering with his business. Coon5
asked for damages against the walking delegates
Justice Bischon gays In his decision that he cannot
award damage: except OF nominal characte
against the individual defendants. The department
OF the walking delegates when they called Coons's
out might not have been OF ar intimida tory
nature. bur the action OF the men in leaving work
showed that they might expect TO be severely dealt
with at the hands OF the union II they did not
respond and the inference is Irresistible that they
coerced by the fear OF the imposition OF some
recognized penalty
Justice Bischoh said there was no doubt that
an employer was to be protected against an organ

ference with the persons whom he employed.

Respecting the latter group, from
which the United States commissioners
are to make a selection for a coaling
station, it has been found that the only
good harbor is on the island of Guam,
the capital of the group, which was cap
tured by one of the warships bound for
Manila, yet if that is taken there will
