Important Decision by Judge White 1t
Pittsburg.

PITTsBURG, Nov. IAN important
decision has been handed down by
Judge White of the county courts
against labor unions. G. L. Flacus, q
glass manufacturer of Tarentum, Pa,
brought suit against the officers of the
American Flint Glass Workers union
to prevent them from inducing the ap-
prentices of the plaintiff to join the
union. The decision holds that the
plaintiff has right to operate his fac
tory independent of the union and that
the defendants have no right to per-
suade his apprentices to become men,
bers of their organization.
Referring to alleged rules of trades
unions which prevent young man
from learning trade without the con.
sent of the union the judge says:
"Such rules and regulations of these
trades unions strike at the first prin-
ciples of personal liberty in free coun.
try; they are oppressive and tyrannica..
they are palpably unjust to individuals
and dangerous to the peace and good
order of society,""
