ments on the motion to set aside the
findings in the notorious Chinese boy
colt cases.
A boycott was instituted against the
Chinese in Butte more than two years
ago. In 1897 an INJUNCTION against the
various labor organizations restraining
them from carrying on the boycott
with ostentation and outward signs.
was issued. The matter was turned
over to H NJ. Blake, who was APP
pointed by the court to take testimony.
Several hundred pages of typewriter
testimony We're taken and filed in four
or five volumes. The master found for
the plaintiffs, Hum Fay eft al as
against Frank Baldwin ct al. The sew
eral defendants in the complaints are
represented by Attorneys J. l.. Wines,
G. w. Clark and J. N. Kirk, who OBJ
ject to the majority of the findings.
Col W.. F. Sanders appears for the boy
cotted Chinese. Yesterday Attorney
Wines set up his objections, claiming
that the testimony in the case does not
support the findings.
Colonel Sanders reviewed the case at
length. He referred to similar cases in
other states where the defendants open
ly admitted that they had established
a boycott against the Cinnamon. In
this city, he said, the defendants, which
included practically every labor organ
ization in the city, were not frank
enough to say out and out and above
board that they had carried on a boy
colt against the Cinnamon. He said
that it was patent to observation that
a boycott had been declared against the
Chinese. He also referred to the fact
that certain books of record of unions
could not be produced at the hearing
of the case before the special master in
chancery.
Judge Knowles took the matter under
advisement and adjourned court until
this morning.
