Scranton, Pa, June 2s.-Judge Gun
ster has handed down an opinion in
which he declares the net passed by
the legislature in 1897, which gives
protection to employees who form, join
or belong to labor organizations to be
unconstitutional. The opinion is in the
case OF Lewis Mack, who prosecuted
George ". Clark, a foreman for a large
steamftting and plumbing house, for
discharging worlkmen because they be-
.aonged to labor unions. Judge Gunster
says:
'srhe act in question affords no pro-
lection whatever to the employe of the
individual firm or limited partnership.
On the contrary, while the employe of
a corporation, under its provisions,
may freely form, join or belong to any
lawful organization, his neighbor, en-
gagged in the same occupation or trade,
when employed by an individual or
firm. may be freely banished for doing
the same thing
