THE SUN BOYCOTT.

Full DctnIis Of the Recent Court Decision
New York. Dec. 4.--In the suit OF the
Sun Publishing Company versus De-
laney and others for IN injunction to
restrain the defendants from pursuing
nm alleged boycott against the New
York Sun and Evening Sun, Justice
Bookstavcr ordered journal entry to
be made yesterday AFTERNOON. This
journal entry crystallizes the decision
already announced, hut 1t came in the
nature of great surprise to the de-
PENDANTS counsel. The surprise was,
in fact, that the journal entry was
much stronger than the original de-
cision seemed to indicate. The first
and most important article is very
sweeping. 1t is rs follows: "lt Is
ordered that the defendants, and each
Of them, be and they are, and each
OF them. is cnjoined and restrained.
during the pcndency Of this action
from advising or requesting. whether
by oral communications. by letters or
by printed circulars, the advertising
customers of this plaintiff or persons
who might become its advertising Gus
toners to desist or refrain from advcr
tising in It's said newspapers or either
of them. the Sun and the Evening Sun.
and by threats. intimidation. force or
fraud, preventing any one or seeking
to prevent any one from selling said
papers"
Attorneys fer the defendants are pre-.
pairing an appeal. and they say the
case will be carried to the courts of
last resort before they will give up
the battle.
