A SERIOUS BLOW
GIVEN TO LABOR

New York. July 19.-The Judgment
OF the lower court has been reversed
by the appellate division OF the Su-
preme court in the case of the National
Protective Association of Steam Fit
tiers and Helpers and Charles McQueed
against the Enterprise Association and
its officers, impleaded with William ].
O'Brien as president OF the Board of
Delegates.
Judge TruaN gave Judgment perpet-
uaily enjoinins the defendants from in
terferlng with the work. business or
employment of the plaintiff associa-
tion or any Of its members. The in
junction forbade the coercing or OBJ
taininC of "a discharge by any employ
er. OF McQuecd or other members, by
commands, threats. strikes or other
wise. Judge Mclaughlin writes the
opinion of the appellate division. Re-
viewing the evidence, which shows
that the defendants struck or threat
ened 10 strike in three cases, but did
not use force or commit any breach of
peace, he says:
1T cannot be seriously questioned
but that every work man has right, in
the first instance. 10 say for whom and
with whom he will work. This right
Is guaranteed to every person of legal
age and who Is competent TO contract,
under our laws. An employer has as-
solute right To say whom he Will en-
plOy. and employe has right to say
by whom he will be employed and with
whom he will work. The right is recip-
rocal and once that right Is DESTROYED,
personal liberty is destroyed. One does
not lose this right when acting with
others, so that employers may com.
blne and say they will not employ per.
sons who are members of labor organ
iZations, and laborers may combine
and say they will not work for en-
ployers who engage any but members
OF labor organizations"

JUDGE DoUsrs LEGALITY.
Nebraska's transportation Board VIII
Convene Supreme Court and Find Out


Omaha, Neb., July 20.-At the re-
quest of Governor Poynter, Attorney
General Smythe and other members of
the Nebraska State Board of Transpor-
tation, the justices of the State Su-
preme Court meet at Lincoln to-mor-
row to consider the advisability of at
once holding n special session to deter
mine the constitutionality of the law
creating the board in 1889.
Last Wednesday, Judge Munger of
the Federal Court in chambers here,
granted a temporary Injunction to the
stockholders OF the Burlington TO pre-
vent the state board from enforcing
the order making a cut on live stock
rates. He held that the board had no
legal existence, because the title of the
bill as II passed both houses OF the Leg
islature provided only for the repeal of
existing laws, although the title was
changed to include new laws, then sent
to the governor.
The state board finds that the consti-
tutionaliry of the law has never been
passed upon by the Supreme Court.
and believes that II 1t is upheld by that
body, the Federal Court will dissolve
the Injunction. Governor poynter
calls attention to the urgent necessity
of securing action at once, so that If
the state board still has power, its or
der for reduced rates may at once be
enforced.
