Hale 6 Norcross Case.

The Supreme Court has granted a writ of supersedeas in the Hale & Norcross case It has decided that the defendants in the action of the Hale & Norcross Sil- yer Mining Company against M w. Fox ct al. have the right to appeal from the decision of Superior Judge Daingerfield, which he made to compel Fox as presi- dent and R. U. Collins as secretary to cancel an order of sale of stock belonging to George Grayson. In the Superior Court 1t was decided that the levy of the as- sessment was illegal and tho sale of the delinquent stock necessarily void The plaintiffs, however, endeavored to have the lower court compel them to make the transfer of the stock or be punished for contempt A petition for writ of super sedeas was presented to the higher court
 the contention being that the notice of appeal acted as a stay of proceedings un- iii the appeal should be determined The Supreme Court says that the question cannot be determined by mere inspec- ton of the order appealed from, but the merits of the order must be considered. While the motion to dismiss remains un- determined it Is the duty of the lower court to refrain from its enforcement.

BETRAYAL OF LABOR.

In the last fusion legislature, labor was
ignored, and labor legislation was smoth-
cred. Following are some OF the bills which
in the legislature. but which the fusionists
deliberately ignored. Not one Of them
passed:
% To prevent coercion and hacklsting
of employees by corporations.
ca Providing for the recovery OF dam
ages from corporations when death is
caused by negligence.
60 Providing for the liability of railroad
companies for injuries sustained by en-
ployes thereof.
Cd Preventing the making Of contracts
releasing railroad corporations from liabil-
1t for damages
90 Providing better protection Of rail-
way switches in order to prevent accidents
to employees.
t0 Requiring that two competent men
be employed on every railway locomotive.
% Providing for an eight-hour day on
state, county and municipal work.
Treachery. treachery, treachery. That Is
the record of the fusion government 10
union labor The treacherous friend is like
the snake warmed al the breast; II gains its
strength only to use its fangs.
Do you desire to perpetuate the treach-
cry of two years ago by voting for fusion
members of the legislature? The Ellens-
burg platform has not one word in favor
OF any of these laws that were ignored by
the fusion legislature.
