Important Decision Relating to
Labor and Capital.
New York, July 1S-The appellate divis-
ion of the Supreme Court has reversed
the judgment of the lower court In the
case of the National Protective Associa-
ton of Steam Filters and Helpers and
Charles McQueed against the Enterprise
Association and its officers, impleaded
with william ]. O'Brien as president of
the board of delegates.
Justice Truax gave judgment perpetuaily
enjoining the defendant from interfering
with the work, business or employment OF
the plaintiff association or any of it's
members. The injunction forbade the CO.
ercing or obtaining the discharge by any
employe of McQueed or other members,
by commands, threats, strikes or other
wise.
Justice Mclaughlin, In his opinion,
says:
1T cannot be seriously questioned but
that every workman has the right in the
first instance, to say for whom and with
whom he will work. This right is guaran-
teed 10 every person of legal age and COM
petent to contract, under our laws. An
employer has the absolute right to say
whom he will employ and the employe has
the right to say by whom he will be ON.
ployed and with whom he will work The
right is reciprocal and once that right is
reciprocal and once that right is de-
stroyed personal liberty is destroyed and
chaos reigns. And If one has the right,
acting in his individual capacity, he does
not lose IL when acting with Others cloth
ed with an equal right, so that employers
may combine and say they will not en-
ploy persons who are members Of labor or
ganizations and laborers may combine and
say they will not work for employers who
engage any but members of labor organi-
cations"
Justice Mclaughlin says that the pinch
pie is not different where labor organiza-
tons are concerned.
